Limited Liability is a changeling with a very routine life. He works at a bank. He lives with a marefriend. He goes through every day making sure he isn't discovered.

At least, that is, until the day that the hive has planned to invade Canterlot. On that day, his love runs out, and his disguise fails. Trapped in public with a chitinous body for all of Equestria to see, Liability has to find a way not only to survive, but to avoid ruining an invasion years in the making. Along the way, he learns a very interesting lesson about the ponies around him.

Twilight has always preferred indoor activities like reading, to outdoor ones. But after not leaving her home for a long time, her friends decide they need to try to get the bookworm out of her shell. And out of her house.

A Royal Canterlot Library nominee.

A troubled Princess Celestia, wandering her School for Gifted Unicorns late one night, chances upon her young faithful student Twilight Sparkle, who has problems of her own:

She can't catch the Tooth Flutterpony.

What possible advice could Princess Celestia give to her upset young pupil, who is desperately trying to prove that an old ponies' tale is real?

Inspired by Skywriter's How to Remove a Unicorn Tooth (which is a much better story and you should probably go read it, if you already haven't); and, of course, Sir Terry Pratchett's Hogfather (which you should have already read, and even if you have, you should go read it again).

Princess Celestia sends Twilight Sparkle a letter, asking the same question she always does. Maybe a visit from Spike will prompt her to give an answer at last.

Lengthened version of the 6th-place finisher in the /fic/ mini write-off "One Little Mistake."

Thanks to The Descendant for reading over this for me and making sure it had something useful to say.

But a good girl never talks about that kind of thing…

Tirek has finally been defeated.

Left powerless after being blasted to Tartarus, Tirek now has the rest of eternity to wallow in his defeat in the deep, dark, silent recesses of the planet...or at least that's what he HOPED would happen.

His 'friend' Discord decides to take advantage of visiting hours and has a riddle for the demon centaur, the answer to which may be the key to his freedom...or just Discord messing with his head. It's hard to tell.

Hearth's Warming Eve is a festive holiday for all ponies to bask in the warm comfort of their homes, and spending the day with relatives and friends. Vinyl loves partying on a day like this at a bar - but Octavia just wants some peace and quiet during this holiday. But they start to look back at the spark that triggered their relationship, on that one day back at the academy.

Luna spends the night on her balcony with her thoughts. (One-shot)

There are many academy records in the Wonderbolt Academy, and Spitfire loves getting cadets to train hard and shatter those records.

There is one record she never wanted to see broken: the Academy Death Record. In the ten years since she became a captain and began training cadets, the Wonderbolt Academy has never seen a single pony die in action. That record was broken today when a malfunctioning piece of training equipment took the life of one of the newest recruits... and a personal friend of Spitfire's.
