Illusion is considered a lot of things: a draconequus, a prince of Equestria, a flirt, a good if somewhat difficult son, a goofball, a usurper to the throne, a doting husband, an egotistic annoyance, a menace to Canterlot society.

A dutiful patriot, who'll do just about anything for the good of Equestria.

A loving father, whose daughter means the world.

Sometimes, even the son of Discord can't be everything at once.

The secret to getting through life is finding someone you can be yourself with.

Comet takes his job too seriously. Angel doesn't take anything seriously.

Comet joined to protect kingdom and princess(es). Angel joined for adventure and danger.

Comet isn't interested in mares. Angel can't stop talking about stallions.

Comet is a pegasus. Angel is a bat pony.

Together, this unlikely duo goes through life as Royal Guards from basic training to fully fledged guardsponies. Who knows? Maybe they'll even start to get along.

[Crack Pairing] [RarityxKingSombra]

Rarity always liked the big, strong, regal, silent type. Sometimes we get exactly what we wish for, though not always packaged how we expected.

Written for the Crack Ships Inc. June Crack Ship Contest. (Tied for third place.)

It was raining when we buried mom. Sparkler and I with the help of the priest, Time Turner wrapped her in a white shroud and carried her to the cemetery.

Her name was Dtizy Doo.

It had surprisingly easy to lift her. Pegasus ponies were light by nature but I never imagined that mom would have been this easy to pick up even with the help of Mr. Time Turner and my sister. When she was alive she seemed larger than life itself. The sickness that killed her somehow made her…less. Even her tattoos had faded ever so slightly.

Now…

Now she just seemed so small. The mare who had worked her fingers to the bone, who smiled in spite of everything, who taught me, taught my sister, was just too light.
I can still remember when she first started coughing.

It’s probably nothing, my little muffin. I’m just a little under the weather. It’ll pass.

Only it didn’t.

The burial took place at the poor and destitue ponies’ graves in a walled-off section behind the church, away from the main plots of land. It was there that we dug her grave in the water logged clay. It took no time to dig one big enough.

There was no coffin. We couldn’t afford one for her.

I had thought, during that funeral, that life couldn't possibly get any worse.

The next day I was proven wrong.

Note: Inspired by this and this and some other fanfic on fimfiction that I can't find right now.

Thanks to Autumn Forest for collaborating and editing the first chapter with me.

Twilight Sparkle, Arcane Mage, knows that there is some truth to the story of Nightmare Moon, but her mentor, Princess Celestia, dismisses the matter in a heartbeat. She sends Twilight to the town of Magiville to oversee preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, much to Twilight's distaste.
Unbeknownst to her, the darkness is gathering in Mystica. Assassins lurk in the shadows, Undead gather in the forest, werewolves sharpen their claws, and criminals and mercenaries prepare themselves.
To win the coming battle, Twilight will have to rely on her wits, her magic, and the five mages she's been saddled with. No matter how much they annoy her.
Rated teen for violence and language. Humanized, action-y. Based on the first two episodes, with some large changes made.

After Twilight delivers a batch of books to Sweet Apple Acres as a gesture of goodwill, she finds that one member of the Apple Family is not interested in her offerings. Through her efforts to discover why, she inadvertently discovers Big Macintosh's most shameful secret.

Thanks to JBL for the story idea.

Now with a YouTube reading by Thornquill!

Rated Teen for some thematic elements.

H-hey, it’s me, Fluttershy. I can’t come to the phone right now, so please leave a message if you want to. O-or you could just call again. I’ll try my best to get a hold of you. BEEP.

Hey, Flutters, it’s me, Rainbow Dash. Where the heck are you? You were suppose to meet us here an hour ago! AJ’s already left, and I don’t think the others will stay much longer. Just try and hurry. I’ll be here till it closes. CLICK.

Something happened to Fluttershy, and now no one knows where she is. The cops found her bag in the park, a part of her dress, and her phone. It's all Rainbow can do to stay stable, now that the one she loved is gone, possibly forever.
