Misty has recently reformed and decided to help her friends defeat Opaline. She acts as a spy for them and tells them Opaline's secrets and moves. But they didn't expect to be able to take her down so soon. When Misty says Opaline wants a smoothie, they hatch a plan to stop her, but it ends up going a little farther then they anticipated.

Done for kicks as part of an idea that occurred after Misty's redemption.

Through long anxious nights and angry early mornings I stand at her side, giving her majesty what she desperately needs... a friend.

Inspired by The Contingency Letter written by TCC56.
This is their second bardic inspiration, so if you haven't seen his work, you should. He has a bit of everything.

Its been hectic, but Spike has finally settled in as Equestria's inter-species ambassador. His latest (and trickiest) meeting is with an eccentric equine hailing from Discord's dimension. She seems to want help with a personal problem.

I don't write Screwball stories often, since she strains my brain to its creative limit. Let's see if Spike fields her any better than I do.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

While working in the dream realm, Luna meets with a terminally ill filly and carries out a task that never gets easier, though she has performed it countless times.

"See?" Rainbow had to avert her gaze, ignoring the way her voice was cracking every other word and how her face felt like it was going to burn right off. "It's, it's just really weird! Like, we already know each other and everything."

"But I don't get it," Applejack frowned, furrowing her brows, "If I like you, and ya like me, then ain't the answer plain an' simple?” She spread her arms like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “We go out."

(Or: Rainbow Dash and Applejack go on their first date. Rainbow has no idea what she's doing, but things work out, somehow.)

Rated T for mild profanity.

Princess Skystar has heard such wonderful things about Hearth’s Warming from Silverstream that she wants to introduce it to Seaquestria. Queen Novo doesn’t mind the idea, so she’ll go research it for a minute and—what happened?

Written for PacifistDoodl3r for Jinglemas 2022.

There's something lurking in the Everfree Forest. Something evil. Something horrifying. Something hungry. Something... yellow. Ponies are going missing, and nobody is quite sure why. Can anypony step up and find out before it's too late? With Fluttershy off becoming an Applewood superstar, it's up to her friends to get to the bottom of this.

Crossover with the Rob Cantor Musical Universe.

Reviews:
“Fluttershya LaBeouf is very very good. An excellent read for a spooky Halloween evening. What you have here is really phenomenal and an absolute delight.”

“It’s very well written. Like, too well written. Please, I implore you to put your talent for writing to make something publishable."

An alternate take on events that begins in the middle of Chapter 2, Episode 6 ("The Traditional Unicorn Sleep-Over") of Make Your Mark. This story assumes reader knowledge of the show up to that point.

Zipp had a lot of suspicions about Misty, the strange unicorn that Izzy had met in town earlier that day and invited to an impromptu sleepover party at the Brighthouse. But while she'd been exercising her detective skills on their guest all night as the oddities surrounding her piled up, she hadn't meant to drive Misty away. So when, after Misty flees from the party in a panic, Zipp notices that she's still out in the Brighthouse's garden, pacing frantically, Zipp decides to see if she can talk to her, and figure out just what is going on with this curious new pony.

And what she learns may well give Zipp room for pause -- and a need to exercise some comfort skills.

Please note that while this fic is rated E, there is some mild discussion of parental/familial abuse.
