After the drama that was her brother's wedding, Twilight returns to the Golden Oak for a bit of rest. However, upon her return she discovers that someone else has arrived there. Someone she never excepted to see again so soon, and certainly not for the reasons they say they're here for.

On a quest to find a better breed of apple, Applejack and her family go to a distant land to meet her cousin Fuji. Only thing is...she's a mute kirin.

Her family seems to not mind the fact that they all might be part kirin, and Autumn Blaze is ecstatic, but Applejack can't help but think this is a lousy prank pulled by you know who...

Gosh I never intended this story to be an AppleDash fic, but I entered it into the contest anyway. You'll find out why once you read it.

Rated T for mild innuendo. Takes place three years after the series finale.

After a long night in the Everfree forest, Twilight, somehow, gets a date!

Now, she's doing everything she can to make sure that date will go perfectly.
But this time, she's going to deal with the big stuff first.

Like a 1000 year prophecy of certain vengeance by an ancient Earth pony queen.
Or a slight drought that may destroy Ponyville.
Or Discord being up to something.
Or the Yaks declaring war after Pinkie Pie doesn't eat a muffin.
Or spontaneous baldness.

Spike, on the other hand, has some errands to run and games to play.
Oh, and a paranoid princess to keep alive.

It's very easy to become bored, and a little insane, at long meetings about the economy. So much so that sometimes unorthodox measures can be proposed.

A silly idea conceived and written in an hour

Celestia has often looked to the furthest edges of her kingdom when watching for dangers. Sometimes, she may even journey there, just to make sure things are on the up and up. Today, she goes to, of all places, the former village of Starlight Glimmer. But it is not the mare herself she has come to see, but the village's newest resident, who is not as unfamiliar to her as might first appear.

All throughout Equestria, as a child grows up, each parent dreads the day their little precious asks them that immortal question: "Where Do Babies Come From?" Now, it's Flurry Heart's turn...

Featured from 20/5/19 to 21/5/19

As a member of a royal family, it was always expected that Flurry Heart would come into a leadership role at some point in her life. But nopony could ever have expected it would be while she was still at a young age, as is the case when her parents are away on official business one day. And so begins the glorious reign of Flurry, apparently.

Ever the avid learner, Ocellus spends much of her free time, even when back at her home, studying as much as she can. And this devotion has made her the pride and joy of the Changeling hive, so much so that she receives an unexpected visit from none other than Thorax, her King.

As someone who has spent much of his time around authority figures, Spike knows well how difficult it can be for them to just relax. And this is something Smolder learns too, when the two of them receive Dragon Lord Ember for an afternoon.

Silverstream leads a small party of hippogriffs on a raid against one of the Storm King's ships.
