When the Cutie Mark Crusaders find a book telling of an ancient artifact with the power to grant one's heart's desire, it leads them on their biggest adventure ever - and quite possibly their last!

For little less than one thousand years, the species of Equestria had been a part of the Trade Order, sharing the millenium of peace of prosperity the humans had enjoyed.

Now, with the arrival of alien invaders and the return of ancient evils, that peace was been shattered. A people unused to war had to rediscover its ways and fight for their home. The Trader Emergency Coalition was born from this need.

Ten years have passed, and the sitation has improved to the point High Command has authorized a rotation of the forces, sending the weary first generation back to their homes, to rest and recover.

Meanwhile, a lavander unicorn mare who has never been on a planet is travelling to Equestria on behalf of her teacher...

No one expects to go to sleep and never wake up. There's always tomorrow, or the next day. There was always time. So, when a young life is extinguished before its time, it becomes especially difficult to handle. When the spirit of that life is forced to face and accept her death, what will become of her afterlife? Scootaloo will soon be faced with this tragedy, and this is her story.

When a tragic fire destroys everything an orange earth pony holds dear, she finds that not even friendship may be enough to comfort her. When a certain cyan pegasus shows her much more, will she be able to piece her life back together? And is her best friend hiding something else from her, something that could tear everything they have apart?

Be Awed and Amazed by the tale of Sweetie Belle as she traverses the multiverse in search of her lost mentor and friend, Twilight Sparkle! Will she find her in post-apocalyptic Equestria? Or maybe in a strange world where everypony is the wrong gender? Or even where a Pony claims to be a human? Read as she journeys through very familiar worlds you might have read about... if you dare!

At this point in time all the main worlds to be visited have already been chosen. Thank you all for the suggestions, and I hope you enjoy the surprises!

Rarity begins an introspective journey in a search for the meaning of existence. Her happy-go-lucky friend, Pinkie Pie, helps show her the way.

I have cancelled any furthering of this fanfic. I have lost interest in writing about pairings that include the mane 6 mainly because they're so susceptible to canon changes. Hopefully what is written here is enjoyable enough. :)

A collection of stories describing Fluttershy and Applejack's relationship. All of the stories were previously published as separate stories, however I decided to combine them all into one neat collection of stories.

Each story so far:

1. A Family Affair:
Just a few days into their relationship, Applejack and Fluttershy are already faced with with their first test as a couple when Applejack is kicked from her home in Sweet Apple Acres just because she chose to be with Fluttershy. How will she fix things with her family and stay with the one she loves?

2. A Double Double Date:
A nervous Applejack and content Fluttershy go on their first date with their friends Lyra and BonBon.

3. Buckwheat:
Applejack's past comes back to haunt her and Fluttershy, as her ex Buckwheat comes to Ponyville searching to get back with the orange pony. This situation puts their relationship to the test again, while Fluttershy's personal struggle with confidence (or lack there-of) takes it tole on her.

4. Photo Finished:
Applejack and Fluttershy run into Photo Finish at a parade they starred in, and are pulled into another photo shoot with Lyra and BonBon. Things don't go over so well, and Applejack develops a disliking for Lyra when she pokes fun at the mare for her poor performance during the Photo Shoot.

5. Motionless:
After a receiving a letter from Braeburn, Applejack is summoned to Appleloosa to fight against a raging fire that threatens the existence of the whole town. Even through Fluttershy's persistent worrying, she goes; leaving Fluttershy in Ponyville, worried about her mare. After arriving in Appleloosa, Applejack joins the fight alongside Big Macintosh and others. After hours of exhausting fire-fighting, backbreaking work over the night, sudden disaster strikes leaving Applejack unconscious and helpless; in the middle of a rapidly growing fire.

6. The Dilemma:
When a mare-couple like Applejack and Fluttershy get more and more serious, there are always questions that linger in the back of their minds, some they may delay asking due to the happiness they receive just from being together. But after nearly three months of being together and knowing they're way beyond just 'exploring their feelings for each other', Fluttershy brings up the question, 'When the time comes, how would we ever have a foal of our own?'

Knowing this is something they cannot solve just by themselves, they go to their friends Lyra and BonBon for some help, and a possible answer to their dilemma, just not in the way they may have expected.

7. A Slip of the Tongue: (Co-Written with Destructio 23)

Rarity has been blessed with the opportunity to have her fashions presented at the annual 'Divine Equine' fashion show in Canterlot, and invites the group to tag along for support. Not inclined to stop doing what a normal couple does in public, Applejack and Fluttershy soon start noticing the judgmental eyes of the posh Canterlot ponies, but try to ignore it as usual. However, when an encounter with a posh socialite of Canterlot puts Applejack in a terrible mood, it leads her to a breaking point that could just ruin everything between her and Fluttershy.

After winning the annual Canterlot Amateur Music Festival, Lyra is approached by a record producer to work for him. At first, Lyra thinks of it as a dream come true. However, the world of music is not a perfect one in any sense of the word. Now, Lyra must learn to work with her new found friends to reach stardom, even if it means giving up her own dreams.

Currently experimenting to see if FIMFiction can support comics.

Carrot Top lets her hair grow out a bit, and styles it accordingly. No big deal usually, right? Unless somehow, the result makes any pony who gazes at it, become relentlessly enamored with it and the pony it's attached to! Carrot now must find a way to shave her locks before she's smothered to death with affection from every pony in Ponyville!

She is as beautiful and graceful as the moon, and just as hard to reach. He is a young artist with much to learn about the world. When he accepts her challenge to create an artistic masterpiece, will he win her heart, or learn a terrible lesson in the nature of beauty and love?
