Pinkie Pie reads a newspaper headline warning of an increase in the price of hugs. Now she has to track down all her friends and give them a final, free hug before she can’t afford them anymore!

A lighthearted tale of ponies, hugs, and the socio-economic implications of monetizing physical expressions of companionship in a post-capitalist society.

A teenage Twilight Sparkle asks Princess Celestia a complicated question with a simple answer.

This story is a sequel to Good For Nearly All Princess Labor, Public And Private

Part of getting Equestria used to having the full Diarchy in place is making Luna's presence into a normal aspect of everyday life. And since few things are more everyday than commerce, that means it's finally time to get her visage back onto the nation's currency. All the palace has to do is commission one of the realm's greatest (and most disconnected) artists, and then...

...actually, that was the first mistake.

((Part of the Triptych Continuum, which has its own TVTropes page and FIMFiction group: new members and trope edits welcome. This story can be read on its own: it just happens to take place after the events of the linked piece. No reading or knowledge of that earlier story is required.)

Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.

Adagio, who everyone knows is an immortal sex goddess, is determined to give her girlfriend a perfect eighteenth birthday. If only she weren't secretly a virgin, it would be easy.

Author interview

For the third year in a row, the Grand Galloping Gala ends in chaos.

Twilight really should have expected as much.

A finalist in Everfree Northwest's Iron Author Challenge! Written in just two hours, with the prompt-words fire, palpable, & brooch.

Scootaloo is attacked by Queen Chrysalis. It ends poorly... for Chrysalis.

This is a blatant crackfic; I regret nothing.

Sweetie Belle, having learned the value of practice and effort, takes it to the one being who least needs or wants life coaching in all Equestria... Tirek.

Written (belatedly) for the Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo, inspired by the two stories contibuted to the site by DreamAlex. (Sorry, but this is the only inspiration that came to me; your stories really don't lend themselves to sequels by other authors.)

'A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP.’ – Leonard Nimoy, 1931-2015

Alone on her deathbed, Sunset receives a visitor.

With the memory stone crisis behind her, it's time for Sunset to deal with an even bigger challenge:

A caring Princess Celestia interested in seeing how Sunset lives on Earth.

This story is a sequel to Changeling Courtship Rituals

After many years of battle, Queen Chrysalis has finally defeated Twilight Sparkle.

To Twilight's surprise, she discovers that to changelings, this means they are now married. However, she has some thoughts about this...

***

A reboot/remake of Changeling Courtship rituals, where Twilight reacts in a much more normal way, rather than like a sitcom character.
