What happens when you realize that your feelings for one of your friends aren't quite the same as your feelings for the rest of them? Do you just prefer some friends for others, or is it a sign of something deeper? What do you do with those feelings? Hide them? Admit them? And how will the rest of your friends react when they find out?

Twilight is going to have to do her best to find the answers, because they're anything but obvious.

Yes, this is a story about romance, but I'm trying to use it to explore the relationships between the characters and see how they'd really react if romantic feelings ever did crop up, and how such a development would impact the cast as a whole.

Now with a TvTropes page!

There's also a dramatic reading in progress on youtube, here.

Frederic Horseshoepin is an obscure background pony who appeared in one episode and was instantly overshadowed by the pony next to him. Usually he's reserved to het shippers who are sick of the Octavia/Vinyl pairing.

I think that they have a good point. He's pretty cool, and deserves more love. And in this shipping anthology, I make sure that he's gonna get a whole lot of love.

Includes "What I Did For Love," a possible sequel to "This Nearly Was Mine."

Princess Luna's Lunar Stallions kidnap Twilight Sparkle when they see how lonely Luna is, and give her to the Princess as a gift. Nightmare Moon emerges from Princess Luna's psyche during the sleepover. The dark goddess would love nothing more than to have the beautiful mare all to herself, and the resulting chaos forces Celestia to call a psychologist to sort out Luna's multiple personalities.

Hearth's Warming Eve is a night of magic throughout Equestria. From young fillies to weathered ponies, every soul finds their own magic in the blissful night. But while some receive their blessings in ways they had wished and hoped for, others come across the magic in ways they never prepared for.

Based on the short story "The Gift of the Magi"

Octavia is pointed in the direction of Carousel Boutique by a respected colleague. She intends to commision matching uniforms on behalf of her ensemble leader, the esteemed Frederic Horseshoepin. Octavia has misgivings however, when informed that the boutique in question is in Ponyville, a backwater farming town.

Can the proprietor of Carousel Boutique prove to the Canterlot mare that she has what it takes?

After running Trixie out of town for being all talk, one last act of spite threatens to turn Twilight's life upside down. She calls upon the only pony she knows may be able to help restore her faith in pony-kind and her faith in herself.
A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step, as Applejack and Twilight begin a trek to rescind Trixie's revenge, and save Twilight's Ponyville home.

When Twilight springs some great news on her friends, she didn't seem to notice that Rainbow was less than ecstatic. In fact, it was all the pegasus could do to not pin her down and force her to take it back! Now, time is running out, and Rainbow Dash has to make a decision. Should she take a chance? Nothing is worse than the road not traveled, right?

Wrong.

An Equestria Daily feature from a time when that meant something.

Some unicorns use their magic for their special talent, but Twilight Sparkle's talent is magic itself. The study, application, and understanding of magic is part of her very core. What happens when she hits a wall that no amount of talent will boost her over? How will Twilight deal with finally discovering the limits of her natural skills?

Twilight is sick with the flu, and confined at home, while Rainbow tries to think of a way to make her feelings known to the lavender unicorn.

Teen for alcohol use, possibly borderline foul language. ;)

She never expected to see a golden chariot flying over Ponyville. She never expected just how much her life would change. She never expected Twilight Sparkle … and Twilight Sparkle most certainly never expected Pinkie Pie.
