Trapped inside by a freak snowstorm, Applejack discovers a link to her parents hidden at the bottom of a buried chest. Driven by the desire to connect with her mom, her life becomes dominated by the urge to keep digging. Will Rainbow Dash be able to snap her out of it before she digs herself in too deep?

My contribution to the proud and storied lineage of ponyfics where Applejack digs a hole. Also for the Appledash Warm and Fuzzy Feelings contest!

Thorax has had months. Months, of working tirelessly as the Ruler of the Changeling Hive and he is absolutely exhausted. He can barely stay awake when he comes to visit Ocellus at the School of Friendship to see how she's doing.

Ocellus, being the smart cookie that she is, comes up with a plan: She can pretend to be him, and he can go relax for a day.

Desperate, he accepts, but on the condition that he goes to class disguised as her and takes notes so she doesn't fall behind. After that, he can sneak off and finally get to sleep.

But then Smolder and Ember get involved.

Now with a Spanish translation!

One day, just like that, Celestia decides she's going to go mad with power.

After a harrowing and dangerous quest, Twilight Sparkle and her friends have recovered Excelsior's Ecstatic Codex from an evil zebra cult intent on ending the world. The Codex, one of the greatest works of dark magic ever forged, carries within its pages a limitless collection of vile, twisted spells, all specially devised for anypony who opens the cover.

What do you do with a book of dark magic? If you're Twilight Sparkle, you put it in your library. Because that's where books go.

After all, books are for everypony.

Daring Do cannot believe her luck when she is asked to help explore the most ancient tomb known to ponykind. But terrible danger awaits her, for beneath the earth rests something beyond equine understanding.

Go to the Equestria Daily story page to see the stories in this set by Georg and Dennis the Menace. (If you can't access the page, it's because your school blocks google docs.)

(This is not "incomplete"; it's an open-ended anthology.)

Smolder doesn't know how beaks work. Like, when they're not being used to peck worms out of the ground. Gallus, Silverstream and Sandbar try to explain.

There's a lot of kissing involved.

After the end of their first semester in advanced flight school, a group of young griffon students get to spend a weekend in the lovely city of Fillydelphia. Not finding "the City of Blooming Friendship" quite as exciting as they had hoped, they decide to play a little prank on the socially awkward member of their party, Frankie.

A few exchanged pills, a good night's sleep, and a mysterious suitcase soon turns the reclusive griffon into a rampaging savior, doing everything he can to protect the unsuspecting citizens from every peril his derailed mind is able to conjure up.

Could this possibly have a good ending?

(Submission for Equestria Daily Flash Fiction Event #4)

Twilight Sparkle is returning to the Crystal Empire for the one-year anniversary of Sombra's defeat. The whole kingdom is preparing to celebrate.

But four crystal ponies are preparing a different celebration. The pieces are moving, and their plot is almost complete – Lord Sombra's last, most faithful servants will have their revenge. Twilight Sparkle and all her filthy kin will die.

Now, in the final hours of their plan, something has gone terribly wrong. One of the four is a traitor. Everything is in jeopardy. And once again, the fate of an empire will be decided at the Gate of Heavenly Peace.

Celestia has a disturbing revelation about the limits of alicorn mortality. With time suddenly turned against her, she must embark on a journey to find the source of her unrest: an ancient memory drawing her inexorably to a forest that time forgot.
