Twilight Sparkle Discovers the Cutie Mark Crusaders have run out of ideas on how to get their cutie marks. In order to give them new inspiration Twilight takes them to Canterlot. There Princess Celestia and Princess Luna tell them the story of how they earned their cutie marks. The story takes place in the early days of Equestria following the long reign of the evil villain Ghastaloom. Princess Celestia convinces Princess Luna to go exploring in the Everfree Forest. There they encounter a sinister follower of Ghastaloom. One thing quickly leads to another and before long it's up to the two princesses to stop the vile henchman from exacting his plan of revenge.

This is a three part story.

Midnight Storm has had a hard life. She's wandered from city to city for the past three years, and they've all eventually run her out after they've found out what she is. Against her better judgement, she's placed her last hopes on the small town of Ponyville.

The residents here are nice enough, but when they find out what she really is, will they accept her, or drive her out like all the others? And when Celestia finds out about her, what plans does the Princess of the Sun have in store for the mare?

Story now included in The Goodfic Bin

Twilight has discovered a new spell to use in tandem with the Elements of Harmony. Its intent is to reveal more of the mysteries behind the artifacts. Yet once the spell is cast will the mane six be able to deal with the consequences? What will they learn when they come face to face with the very virtues they claim to embody? The Mane six will have to face their greatest challenge yet. The Elements of Harmony themselves.

Spike has been away from Ponyville for a long time - Longer than he can remember. Now, he's returned by royal command. He must speak to each of the Elements of Harmony, and it's not good news...
(Romance tag isn't sexual, purely romantic.)

Rarity and Rainbow Dash are madly in love, and even live together. Or so Dash's sister thinks.

Rainbow has kinda been lying to her so that she would stop setting her up with dates. What had started as a little white lie about how Rarity and her were starting to date, quickly spiraled out of control.

Now they want her to visit. With Rarity. Yeah...this can't possibly go wrong!

Twilight Sparkle always enjoyed those quiet days in Ponyville when those 'crazy ponies' weren't always driving her crazy every single day. Unfortunately for Twilight, this day isn't going to be one of those days!

When a royal servant from Canterlot and a knightly pony prince all happen to come to Ponyville, everything is not exactly all fun and games. Twilight Sparkle and her friends must not only deal with these newcomers, but also the trouble that seems to be following them as well.

Can Twilight help keep the peace in Ponyville? Or will disaster strike at Ponyville and spread to Canterlot itself?

A short story meant to give some 'background' to some art I had commissioned. This idea came to me over the Christmas holidays and I just had to write it. It stars a certain older, more adult Spike in a future without Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

Just as Luna has Nightmare Moon, so too does Celestia have another entity in her mind. An entity with one aspiration:

Inspired by this.

Claire and Illusion have a bond that cannot be shaken, they have shared in each others happiness and shouldered one another during times of great grief. They have encountered many challenges during their time together, and together they faced them head on. And now life has chosen to throw them their greatest challenge yet, but are they truly prepared for the trials they will face?

They don't know, but they will brave the challenge, together.
