This story takes place during the time skip in the final chapter of Run Without Debugging, but knowledge of that story is not necessary to enjoy this one.

Weddings are beautiful things. For many ponies, a wedding is the best day of their lives. Years ago, Chrysalis, the ex-queen of the changelings, adored weddings as well. Her intentions, however, were less than noble.

Today, she has put her past behind her. She has been (somewhat) forgiven. She has a place in society. She has someone who loves her. The real her.

It's finally time for her own wedding.

She didn't show up.

Finding yourself in the halls of the this castle and asking it's ruler for a hug, couldn't be further from how you expected this day to go, yet that is exactly what happens, forcing you to face the fallout of your actions.

Sorry that I haven't edited this story before, but I simply couldn't wait with posting it. It just HAD to be done now. So please, excuse my subpar spelling and grammar.

Edit 07.11.2023. Top of the featured page? I honestly haven't seen that one coming. Thank you all for that.

Edit 09.11.2023. Finally came around to edit this. Much to my surprise, I didn't find much that needed improving. Either I am not as bad as I thought, or Zoho simply doesn't show me everything.

Mayor Mare has been living in Ponyville for quite some time. Not as long as she'd have you believe, mind you, but a long time all the same. During this period, she had dreams and aspirations, and as far as she's concerned, she accomplished each and every one. But what do you do when you've already achieved all of your goals?

Well, she was pretty lonely. And although she obtained the exact career path she wanted for many moons, she had much less luck with the stallions in her life.

She never would have imagined that the solution would come in the form of a human, or what that solution would eventually lead to. The result is quite unorthodox.

Follow the adventure Dusk shine in it is parody alternative of the manga Unexplected love life of Dusk Shine.In his versions Dusk and his sister go to ponyville to make friends but in his new city with his shape shifting adopting sister,with the animals who hates him and the mares who fall in love him.It life going become unexpected...of comedies

The purpose of Friendship? It eluded Dusk Shine during his time at Crystal Prep. The Friendship Games allowed him a chance due to Cinch convincing him to join but at a devil's bargain. Everything for CPA's reputation. Now what will Dusk Shine learn? Does he gain something? Or will he lost a part of himself to becoming something different? Who will help or corrupt him?

This is my personal touch on The Friendship Games with head canons, OCs and characterization for several characters. Some characters need it.

The tags of the story will be subjected to change as the story develops. Plus I'm putting some tags in advance just to be safe since this is my first time posting on this site.

Enjoy

Anon spends all of his bits on Berry Punch's Alcoholic Punch and is pushed by Twilight into finding a job. Starlight suggests that he works with Trixie as an assistant for her magic practice. Anon believes this should be easy enough and agrees. After practice Trixie demands praise and Anon gives her scritches. Then Twilight asks for scritches and she gets scricthes, and this upsets Trixie.

By all means this description does not mean this story has a plot, or can even be considered a story. I'm not sure if that makes this a spoiler or not, but I'll mark it as one just to be safe.

Kind of like a prequel to Anon Gets a Job at Ponyville Spa, but I'd be a liar if I called it that.

This story is a sequel to Played for a Foal

Knowledge of the previous story is not required.

The tale of how Anon, a human completely unrelated to the Crystal Empire's royal family, came to be known as Flurry Heart's uncle is a long one. The important part is that Flurry, now sixteen years old, sees him as a role model. She admires his sense of freedom and his carefree outlook on life. That's what she wants for herself, too. Unfortunately, her parents seem dead set on forcing her to be a picture perfect princess.

Ugh, growing up sucks.

Starlight Glimmer: reformed villain, student of a princess, and all-around up-and-comer on the subject of friendship.

Having already displayed great skill in befriending a raging narcissist and a reclusive geology 'enthusiast', can she successfully turn her abilities towards Equestria's newest inhabitant?

No.

...maybe.

On the day of the Summer Sun Celebration, Nightmare Moon returned from her banishment. The power she had accumulated during her stay on the moon proved to be too great for Princess Celestia, and Equestria's ruler was defeated.

Weeks later, Anon arrived in Equestria via unknown means. Although lost and confused, his natural resistance to magic made him quite useful to Nightmare Moon. To his surprise, he quickly became one of her most trusted servants and found himself falling in love with her. Even more surprisingly, it seemed like she was doing the same.

Eventually, despite Anon's best efforts, Nightmare Moon was defeated and Princess Luna returned. Everyone was rejoicing. Everyone... except him. Because Anon did not fall in love with Princess Luna.

Anon fell in love with Nightmare Moon.

Nightlight And Twilight Velvet have always tried to do right by others. So, when they found an orphaned colt had been left at their door, they knew right away to take him in and out of the cold. How could they ever know what dangers that shadowy night would hold? After being adopted by them, Night Shadow is given all the love and care a colt of his age would need, even managing to get into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, the same school that his elder sister Twilight Sparkle attended. Then one day, he's given the chance to live with his sister again in her new home in Ponyville, witnessing firsthand all the different adventures she and her friends go on. What is in store for this stallion, and how will he react to all the dangers that now await him?

This is a rewrite of The Mage's Brother, using my new writing style and story ideas for this new story.
