The Great and Powerful Trixie turns to radical politics.

An archeologist finds himself pulled into a parallel world by Discord's storm of Chaos, and encounters the mysterious creatures that live there. How will a rational human, confronted by creatures out of mythology, and unable to find his way home, adapt to his environment? Only one way to find out.

Applejack goes missing one day, and loss gives way to confusion when Twilight discovers that the 'loyalest and most dependable of ponies' may not be nearly as honest as her element.

I am using the adventure tag because FIM does not have a tag for what this story truly is, a thriller.
Maple Leaf and Maple Syrup live in a cabin in the Everfree Forest.
Every night they lock up the cabin, creating a sanctuary amongst the dangers around them.
But what would happen when a new predator enters their simple world, one that they had no hope of escaping?

The Great Equestrian Foam Sword Fight is a fabled event that happens once every fifty years. To win the event, one must incapacitate another pony using the most dangerous weapon known to pony-kind.

The foam sword.

The winner of the event is also said to win untold riches that nopony knows about. With everypony trying to win those riches, the strongest bonds will shatter, the dirtiest of tricks will be played and all bets are off. After all, there can only be one winner.

It is also one of the few times were a pony can legally knock out another pony using a piece of foam.

Tagged other due to fimficiton only allowing 5 characters.

Mayor Mare has been the Mayor for quite a while. She has led Ponyville with Leadership, Grace, and Wisdom for her whole multiple terms.
The reason she wins the race though, is heavily based on the debates.
The other candidates are often silenced by her vast wisdom.
The more aggressive candidates are thoroughly chastised (p'wned) by the Mayor.
But this race is different.
For Mayor Mare races against somepony different.
A country lawyer named Abraham.

Rainbow Dash reveals the little-known fact that pegasi can survive in outer space, and Pinkie Pie dares her to take her to the moon, so that she can party with the moon ponies. Space is full of dangers beyond a simple lack of air, but with a little help from her friends, Pinkie Pie just might win past them all and prove that ponies can party whereever they please. Even if the moon is full of weasels.

It's not terribly easy being a pear selling pony in an apple loving town....Forelle is a pear pushing pony from Roam, here to help her family out and find her way in the world. This is what happens to her in the course of an average day.

The amazingly kick-ass and appropriate image was stolen without permission from here and I am feeling guilty for only linking in the source up to now.

After the changelings' failed invasion of Canterlot, Twilight tries to soothe some of Ponyville's rampant paranoia by casting a spell to prove there are no imposters hiding in the town. But her spell leaves her in an alien body, facing a mob of angry ponies who just don't believe her when she says she is Twilight Sparkle.

Or, at least, she was Twilight Sparkle, anyway...
