Upon promptly marrying Princess Luna after a delightful whirlwind relationship, Twilight Sparkle finds herself pondering and caught in the webs of the past. What should be the happiest time of her life turns out to be one of the most stressful, but why is this so?

The answer lies in what she thought would be a secret she could keep.

For years, Twilight Sparkle and Queen Chrysalis have been at each other's throats. Both have experienced victory over the other, and both have experienced defeat. Out of all the creatures in Equestria, none despise each other the way the pony Princess and changeling Queen do. They seemed destined to remain locked in battle forever, or at least until one is finally dead at the hooves of the other. The cruel insults, the vicious loathing, and the powerful spells that have passed back and forth between them at each meeting have become the stuff of legend.

Imagine Twilight's surprise when she finds out changelings consider this dating.

And now they're married.

There is now a reading of the story on Youtube, which starts here.

Rainbow is having a dress fitted for her by Rarity. However, Rainbow has a severe crush on Rarity. So while she is supposed to be trying on a dress she, well, doesn't.

(Gore tag for self-harm and dark thoughts.)
I know they fake it.
I know they talk about me when they think I can't hear them.
All the promises broken.
All the rumors.
All the nightmares keeping me up at night.
Living...
Is it even worth it?
[Set after Equestria Girls, but before Rainbow Rocks.]

Graduation is coming up for the Canterlot High Wondercolts, and Sunset Shimmer is questioning whether she should stay in the human world or come home to Equestria. While spending another lonely night in the bedroom of her apartment contemplating the same question over and over, she stumbles upon an old, worn out spiral notebook that she and her friends thought had once been lost. Seeing the many memories the notebook contains prompts Sunset to realize how much she's changed. Will she stay in the human world or will she come home to Equestria?

Rarity is no stranger to working late nights and burning her fair share of midnight oil to finish orders. Tonight is no different, except that her project isn't a last-minute order for some noblemare in Canterlot. It's for somepony far closer and far more important to her than any customer she's ever had, or ever will have, and for that reason, it needs to be perfect.

For her, she'll burn all the oil in the world just to do it right.

A collection of silly Friendship Games shorts!

Why did Flash Sentry make bread for a cake-baking contest? What is Sunset Shimmer's special talent? Who's got a crush on whom? Who really won the Friendship Games? What did Twilight do after meeting herself? What's "stinky sugar"?

Find out the answers to these questions and more in these stories, which might have running gags but are otherwise unrelated to each other!

Extra tags will be included in chapter titles. Some stories without the [Romance] tag may involve comedic kissing~! One of these stories might actually be good! If Friendship Games lasts longer than 4 hours, consult your doctor.

In the single most important night of her life, Rainbow Dash decides she wants to swoop Rarity off her hooves by taking her to the bar, getting cozy, and doing everything she could to impress the unicorn.

In other words, somehow accidentally ordering chocolate milk at a bar, served in the single most embarrassing glass ever.

Rainbow Dash has no idea what Rarity's problem is. Dash isn't messy. She just isn't super-neat like her prissy unicorn girlfriend. Rarity's the one with the problem here, clearly.

The first time it happened, Sunset didn’t pay it any mind due to the circumstances. The second time it happened, she noticed it and brushed it off as the action of a concerned friend. The third time it happened, she finally figured out that Rarity was flirting with her.
