Audio version!

It’s unfair, really. Adults can go where they want, do whatever they wish, and that happens in a world where those who know best are continually denied the chance to prove it. But his mother has been placed under an actual restriction. For a full night, she can’t eat or drink anything, or — well, it’s probably bad, especially with potions involved. It’s important to keep her out of the kitchen until morning, and all his father did was go to sleep. So who can make sure things come out right?

Shining Armor is on the case.

Unfortunately, the case is way past his bedtime.

When Twilight Sparkle was four years old, her mother bought her a tombstone.

This story is a sequel to How to Date a Princess

The Pony of Shadows has been set loose on Equestria once again!

Now if only Flash could focus on THAT instead of having to try and NOT punch Star Swirl the Bearded in the face! It would HELP if he stopped criticizing his mare friend for TWO FREAKING MINUTES!

This is going to be a loooooooooooong day...

Sorry if the cover art isn't quite related, but it's the only one that I thought would fit.

Also, Happy Valentines Day

Alternate tags:
Don't punch him. Don't punch him. DON'T PUNCH HIM! Remembering to try and avoid punching. Epic make-out memory. Punching the REAL bad guy elation. Still not punching. Argument. More argument. Lightning. ONE JOB!!! THUNK! Apologies. Still in trouble.

Flash Sentry is invited to a party he didn’t plan to be a part of, abandoned by the squadmate who roped him into coming to the dance club in the first place. The night was turning out to be like the last few times he was invited into a ‘guy’s night’, him sulking at a table and drinking alone.

The night took an unexpected turn the moment his gaze met hers…

I do not own the cover art, and I will take it down if the artist requests it.

Creating your own path from scratch can be hard. For some it may be downright impossible - Sweetie Belle knew it very well from her own experience. Is it wrong to let somepony else shape it for you? What happens when the only one who was able to help you isn't there anymore?

Why did Twilight have to die?

This was an entry for the Aftermath of a Fallen Star contest.

It's non-canon, mostly unedited and I probably shouldn't post it.
But I did.

Every so often, once a century or so, Celestia gets a certain itch. With great care, she shrewdly plots a way to slake her wanton thirst for horse shenanigans and tomfoolery. As fate would have it, on this fine occasion, she's chosen to commit larceny, while disguised as the one, the only, Applejack...

Something fun for everybody. I hope y'all enjoy it!

Within the confines of her bedroom, Princess Cadance reminisces on the memories she's shared with Shining Armor.

This story is a sequel to How to Date a Princess

It has been two years since Flash Sentry has begun dating the most beautiful pony in Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle. The years have been fun, exciting, and full of love and adventure. And now, it is time for him to show her just how much he loves her...

Or at least, it WOULD be if he weren't currently tied up in a warehouse on the outskirts of Ponyville by a bunch of ponies that think they actually stand a chance of kidnapping his marefriend. ESPECIALLY once she realized he's missing.

To be fair, he did try to warn them...

UPDATE: HOLY LUNA, THIS GOT FEATURED!?!?!?!? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (Bounces around like Pinkie on a sugar rush)!!!!!

Story is a sequel to 'How to date a princess' and a prequel to 'How to propose to a princess'

The cover art belongs to the incredibly talented dm29 on deviant art.

Alternate story tags:
Kumquats, too much rope, annoying sun, possible concussion, clearly obvious villain, 'why couldn't this wait until tomorrow' cliche, marvel references, punching, internal laughing at villain's stupidity, underestimation of Princess Twilight, overestimation of Flash Sentry, Mental hilarity, gift shops, more marvel references, head injury, royally pissed off Twilight, one last marvel reference, 'I need a hospital' cliche, romantic make-up date, and hope for the future.

Following the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight begins some intensive research into the history of the Empire and its late king. Modern historians know next to nothing about the enigmatic dark mage. Who was he? Did he have family? Loved ones?

The answers to those questions changes everything the Element of Magic knows about herself, and in doing so catches the attention of a shadow that yet clings to the frailty of life...
