Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.

She doesn't anymore.

Dedicated to Annuska for being as amazing a writer as she is a friend.

All magic vanished from the world when Discord fell. Along with it, the might of the unicorns and alicorn princesses dwindled. Even the Elements Of Harmony lost their potence and were lost in the sea of time.

Left without the guidance of the alicorns and the magic of harmony, the ponies soon raised Equestria to a country ruled by science and industry. But still, some remain who dream of magic.

As the mysterious beast Magia threatens the world, a sickly filly named Twilight Sparkle and five friends take it upon themselves to delve into the caverns beneath Canterlot to find the burial ground of magic, the Lunarium.

This is an ongoing Rewrite. The story in and of itself was finished in April 2013 but needed some massive editing. This new version features all new scenes, better descriptions, less mistakes, 3D-Effects, and a gratis code for the DLC-Character "Emo Pie", which on any other occasion would've been a pre-order bonus only.

Or something.

Also thanks to everybody who helps/ed editing this story, no matter if you did only help me with one chapter or all. Thank you for turning this rewrite from another mess into a brilliant story!

As everypony knows, Pinkie Pie can do impossible things. She can hover in midair without wings, play ten instruments at once, and even go days without breathing! Clearly some kind of magic is at work, but what could it be?

Pinkie decides it's finally time to tell her friends the whole, unvarnished truth.

Written for The Writeoff Association's "The Best Medicine" contest.

So I got in a car crash and the hospital put me under for surgery. The next thing I know, I wake up as a small pony with wings. And I can't see. And it's freaking cold up here.

At least I've still got my smokes.

(Got the idea from the funny picture. Rated T for language and tobacco use.)

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

In the wake of the battle with Tirek, Twilight Sparkle becomes fixated on restoring Golden Oaks Library. After all, it was home for her little family of three. But as her attempts to repair the books and tree continuously fail, her friends must take matters into their own hooves. Discord, as the good friend he is, tosses Twilight and her extended family into an unexpected adventure while Twilight's other friends get to work on the new crystal palace.

All together, they'll do everything to ensure Twilight and her family have a place to call home when they reach the end of the road.

Rarity. A pony of fashion, being petite, and politeness. A pony that was always on top of what was hot, but was too ladylike to ever gossip. Rarity. The sister of Vinyl Scratch.
She never shared anything about the older mare who shared her white coat and was a unicorn; she could barely look at her! She was just so...uncouth. But Rarity decides she needs to start living up to her element, and when Vinyl is evicted from her home, she stays with this petite, polite fashionista.
Rarity is not thrilled.

Each of the Mane Six have rough days, and this just happens to be one of them. Which is why Twilight decides for all of them to have a Sleepover!

But things get crazy as each of the Elements of Harmony think they have a tougher job then the other. When the argument gets to rough, fate decides to jump in and help. How? By swapping their minds! Will the Mane Six find a way to change back? And will they survive doing what they thought would just be statements?

Apple Bloom really screwed up this time. Her newest Twilight Time project, a body switching potion, fell into the hooves of Ponyville's resident DJ.

Now Vinyl and Octavia are stuck in each other's bodies with no way to change back. Looks like they'll have to learn to live like this for a while.

In a world where technology and magic have progressed to an equal level, a new sport has arisen for great minds to showcase the power and intricacies of their superior worksmanship. Supreme Steam, the newest sport made by and for young minds. Rainbow Dash has been following her favorite team from Cloudsdale Academy over the past few years of the sport, wanting to take it up herself, but not having the ability to create such mechanical masterpieces. But this year with her friend Twilight, maybe things will be different, and she'll take it all, the tournament, the glory, and the fame.

Looking back now, man this sure showed it was a first story I feel like I've improved so much since writing this! -6/30/2015

As the world's first half-pony half-dragon hybrid, Crystal Clarity's life isn't always easy. Her parents are always fussing over her; annoying colts are always playing pranks on her; and, of course: she still has to go to algebra class. Still, Claire has found ways to deal with it all―after all, how bad can life be when you can cast spells and shoot fire?

As it turns out, pretty bad.

After a dare gone awry, Claire ends up losing one of her horns, robbing her of both her magical abilities and flame breath. Now, at the threat of being grounded until she's forty, she has to hide her injury from her parents, all the while dealing with uncontrollable smoke clouds, vindictive foals, and algebra. Oh, Celestia, the algebra.

This story takes place in Kilala97's next-gen universe. Although knowledge of this universe is definitely not required to enjoy this story, it is helpful.

Written for Kilala97's "Fun Fact" writing contest. Based on the fun fact: "Claire broke one of her horns once and was only able to cough up smoke for quite some time. Prism enjoyed that time very much because he could finally mess with her without getting burned in the end. She got him back when her horn healed."
