Prior to the events of "A Canterlot Wedding" Princess Celestia asks Cadance what ought to be done with the changelings that have been discovered living hidden in Equestria. Cadance's proposed plan of action is swift, brutal, and ruthless, but absolutely unnecessarily so. Celestia has never heard Cadance speak an ill word of anyone, and she cannot fathom why the young princess seems to so despise the uncovered changelings.

Cadance just can't fathom why the uncovered changelings have chosen to forsake their own kind to live among the ponies.

For over a thousand years, the power to teleport things has been a high-level spell that unicorns can perform. But when Pinkie Pie hits upon a strange rule (to her) Twilight has to explain things to the pink pony.

EDIT: Holy cowbell, how the heck did this get featured? This is. well, not anywhere near my best work. How? HOW?

In the furthest reaches of reality
Hides a realm in the last warmth of entropy
inside the ashes of a long dead sky
A place where eternals have come to die
Hear its last singularity scream
Find the devouring machine who can no longer dream.

The last story of the Interloper series. If you can't find it, don't worry, I haven't written it yet, because I'm an idiot.

Title inspired by "Outside the Reaching Sky"
Written in a style vaguely reminiscent of “Lost Cities”
Slight references to "Song of the Spheres"
Slight references to "The Immortal Loops"
Slight references to "Sufficiently Advanced"
Slight references to an unpublished series "Between the Multiverses"

A knight with no weapons faces down a dragon.

At the Canterlot International Food Court, each species, from ponies to dragons to yaks, run self-operated food stalls, subsidized by Princess Twilight’s government, serving the cuisine of their homeland to Equestrians of all creeds and races.

(Although inspired by the hawker centers of Singapore, this story is a work of fiction. Takes place some time after Twilight's coronation.)

Argyle Starshine returns to Maretime Bay, surprising Sunny and her friends who were under the impression that he was dead! Understandably, Sunny is thrilled to be reunited with her father. Izzy Moonbow is happy, too, but can't shake the feeling that something is off about Argyle. And when Sunny begins acting abnormal, Izzy's concerns only grow.

Written for the Generation 5 Bingo Writing Contest. My prompts were: Argyle, Izzy, G1/2/3 Character, Maretime Bay and Changelings

Oh noes!!!1!!11!!1!!11! Equestria has, through horrifying circumstances, ended up at war with a particularly pesky principality of perpetually pissed-off griffons! Ponies of all kinds have been called up to serve their remaining princesses and fight off the beaked menaces, in locales as varied as tropical beaches to, at the extreme end, parched desert. Luckily, the love of country has rendered even the softest, most insipid, most utterly ordinary ponies into a well-oiled fighting machine.

Unfortunately, it turns out that the love of country has rendered the most utterly extraordinary ponies into a complete and total liability. Oops.

Lowbrow comedy. Something of a spiritual successor to my first (bafflingly successful) story, A Cursory Background Check. Contains acts of violence, paragraphs of sex jokes, and a general level of intelligence about five standard deviations below the mean.

The Great and Powerful Trixie has been a traveling showmare for most of her life, but for the past few years has taken a part-time job as guidance councilor at the School of Friendship. Surprisingly, she's not only good at it but has come to enjoy it with the students liking her as a result. Because of her success, Headmare Starlight Glimmer has asked Trixie to work full time, but this would mean giving up her traveling lifestyle. After some thought, she agrees, but decides to do one final show before hanging up the cape and hat for good.

Anon has roamed the earth for countless years now. All of his friends have long since moved on from this world, leaving only him to remember the way things once were.

But maybe tonight, that can change. Not all at once, but slowly, with just a gentle push, maybe things can begin to go back to the way they used to be.

Just a silly little short story that I had a sudden burst of inspiration for. Sorry if it isn't the most polished, but I had a blast writing it ^^
