To save her family and home, Applejack the Peasant would travel across Equestria through many hardships, even rescue a Princess from a dragon keep.

But now the journey back, that’s what she considered the problem.

After all, escorting Princess Rarity across the country safely would be nothing but a nuisance.

Because of course, A Princess and a Peasant could never get along.

And naturally, A Princess and a Peasant could never fall in love.

…But there’s a first time for everything.

(That’s right. I took the baseline of the story of Shrek 1 and I made it about Rarijack; And it’s glorious)

It's a shipping story between Princess Luna and cellist pony Octavia, touching the theme of mortality versus immortality. What would go through your heart when you can't age but you see your loved one aging before your eyes?

Butterscotch has just moved to Ponyville from Cloudsdale, comfortable to have his hooves on solid ground now instead of clouds, but uncomfortable around all the new sights and sounds, and utterly terrified of meeting the new ponies there.

As he soon finds that he has unexpected feelings for the farm-pony Big Macintosh, whom he just met, Butterscotch has to question himself: could he possibly have the courage to take it to even first base with him, let alone beyond?

Yes, yes he does. WAAAAY beyond first base. Or even second, or third.

Last minute submission for the September 2021 M/M Shipping Contest.

This is the teen version of this story. Mature version can be found here: <link when done>.

Obvious Flutter/ButterMac ship-fic is obvious. I've always found this couple's male/female couple adorable and finally decided to take my own spin on a Flutter/ButterMac romance now that I believe my writing skills could do it any amount of justice. Plus, this is an entry for a contest. This is also my first foray into male/male romance or sexual relations, so here's hoping I did it justice.

Also, this is only tagged 'Alternate Universe' because Mac never gets with Sugar Belle, like in the official show's universe.

Unrelated to the story tags, but there's a brief scene involved where a complete perv is trying to (unsuccessfully) solicit and exploit a vulnerable, clueless stallion for sex. If that disturbs you, well...yeah, it doesn't actually end in anything except comeuppance for him.

Contains: A secret crush situation, then a budding, then growing, romance between two stallions, including kissing, dating, and so on; mentions of mares in estrus, m/m fantasies, implied masturbation, making out, pheromones/scents, implied sex, aftersex cuddling. May also contain other things I forgot, but nothing explicitly sexual. That's in the other version.

This is a fic based on the Time Loop Files, the format of which was first codified by Innortal on fanfiction.net.
Here's a brief guide.
The basic idea is, one character (the Anchor, usually the main character of a fictional setting) is looping back to the very first moments of their parent series every time either they die or some kind of time limit expires. They of course end up monumentally stir crazy given enough time.
Eventually others start to loop as well.
The reset is not always perfect. Sometimes a loop's history will be different to the "prime" loop, or canonical plot.
"Crossover" or "Fusion" loops also occur, randomly. These can involve the home loopers having a guest, or the anchor for one universe spending time in another, or replacements of one character by another.
Vacation Loops are where the Anchor (or others) decide/s "buck it" and lets off steam by doing whatever comes to mind. There's little or no attempt to maintain the original timeline.

In addition, and particularly more recently, it should be known that this story has a collaborative element to it - people may submit loop ideas or loops, ideally at the Spacebattles thread (a link to the current version of which is on the Trope page), and they may become included.

There's two page image options, thanks to Filraen - the current page image has been edited by the original creator from this work of theirs.. The other one is here:

This story is a sequel to Equestria Girls: A Fairly Odd Friendship

Despite triumphing over his most recent foes, Timmy feels no joy from his victory, still hurt from the betrayal and cruelty he endured at the hands of the Dazzlings, a trauma so severe he is plagued by horrible nightmares and outright sleepwishing that are endangering those around him.

Fearing not only her charge but the damage he could inflict, Sunset and his godparents decide to bring him to Equestria, with Sunset willing to reunite with her estranged mentor to get Timmy the help he needs.

Unfortunately for him, sinister forces with a grudge against Timmy learn of his trauma and seek to exploit it for their wicked ends. When backed into a corner, Timmy faces two choices: face his fears or lose those he cares about.

This story is a sequel to You're not Twilight

Ever wondered what happened that caused such a difference in Equestria from Generation 4 to the new generation? Well here's my take on what I believe happened.

Set in the same universe as "You are not Twilight." before the last chapter. You don't need to read the previous story to enjoy this one. But if you want to understand a bit more of the characters that are visiting the museum, then you should. But it's not necessary.

In the aftermath of the Changeling incursion of Canterlot during the marriage of Shining Armour and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Equestria gears itself for war against the Changeling menace. Against a foe that can take the shape of anypony, assume their life, and undermine Equestria from within, the Royal Pony Sisters create a new institution to monitor their Royal Guard for any Changeling corruption, cowardice, and incompetence: the Commissariat. As total war rages across the land one hero stands out above the rest; Commissar Blueblood, Hero of Equestria. Or at least that's what the propaganda says. The truth, as ever, is far more complex, as the esteemed Blueblood is merely looking for an easy and sedate life. Unfortunately, fate has a habit of throwing him into increasingly dangerous and suicidal missions, which he must survive with a combination of self-preservation, lying, and sheer blind luck, even if doing so only fuels his soaring reputation!

Equine military fiction in the style of Ciaphas Cain and Flashman.
