Gallus and Ocellus are really different. It's what makes them so alike. In their insomnia patterns, speech patterns, unspoken-feelings-towards-one-of-their-closest-friends patterns.

No hard feelings, though. Actually. For real.

Gilda has a secret. An embarrassing, embarrassing secret, keeping her tethered to Ponyville in spite of everything. She's in love with the most amazing, adorable pony ever. But how could Derpy ever love a rude, brutish griffon like Gilda?

just wanted to write something for my most beloved and niche rarepair!! pls enjoy :)

Pinkamena just wants to stay in her own lane. If Pinkie has a problem that needs yelled at, kicked at, or jeeringly tolerated until it goes away, she can handle it. But what’s a sourfaced split personality to do when her agreeable half vanishes overnight like a fart in the wind?

Pinkamena is not a sleuth. Nor a convincing actress. But she’ll need to be both to guise as Pinkie and solve the mystery of where her better half went.

What a pain in the flank.

(Teen rating for Pinkamena’s crassness and comically short temper.)

Not-so-platonic plans.

A first person account of a changeling guard who is helplessly, pathetically in love with King Thorax.

Now with a reading by Skijarama!

Silverstream’s breath kinda smells like fish right now and that’s the only flaw I can pin on her. Her beak and claws are polished. Her mane has that wild...windswept...thing going on.

“What’s up?” she asks.

“You’re literally perfect,” I tell her. I put a little growl into my voice to make it clear that I’m seething in rage.

Lyra takes Princess Luna shopping for a Hearth's Warming present, with extreme prejudice.

If she wins, it's a date. If Flurry Heart wins, they hang out. Rising Hope is worried about what the difference is, but she's going to try her hardest anyway.
