On the outskirts of Cloudsdale lies a training center for fillies and colts to learn to fly. For Scootaloo, this will be a chance to show her stuff, and maybe even find her Cutie Mark. But how will this filly handle the stress of learning to fly, as well as being away from her friends?

On hiatus until I get notice of falseness of word of Faust. (Scootaloo can't fly, kinda makes my entire story pointless, lol)

The G1 ponies find a door connecting to the G4 world, and some of them form an expedition, with Megan and her siblings coming along. Ponies meet ponies, and the mane 6 are given a new gift. Meanwhile on Earth, a veteran Ranger finds himself reunited with an old friend he thought had left him. There is an impending gathering of friends old and new, where ponies will meet Rangers. Everything seems to be going fine.

But we all know that can't last, don't we? For an old enemy is plotting in secret, and will soon seize her chance.

Princess Celestia gave very clear instructions to Twilight and her friends before sending them through the Interface to the temporary embassy on Earth: without the unanimous support of all six mares, any and all negotiations with the humans of the Confederate Gulf States will come to a screeching halt.

Both sides have much to gain from a cordial relationship and, after a week of feverish talks, the Confederacy has brought around five of the six Equestrian ambassadors... But there is one hold-out: Applejack. How can the CGS' diplomatic team get Applejack to sign off on the deal?

That's a tricky question, but by no means the hardest... The hardest is being asked by Texas Guard Corporal Robert E. L. Cargyle: why the heck do his bosses think that he is the one for the job?!

One thing's for sure... Politics definitely makes for some strange bedfellows.

A/N: Don't worry, readers; despite the title, this is not a clopfic

Tagged alternate universe for things on the HUMAN side of things, not the Equestrian side. I only made this an alternate human history for my own personal amusement... and so that I could fudge the details of protocol etc for the diplomatic stuff.

This is just a silly little thing I came up with after watching some line dancing when I got dragged to a country bar for someone's going away party. Anyway, it was fun.

It is the summer of 2020. The popular TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" has finished its eighth, and what appears to be final, season. In the wake of increasingly violent attacks by an extremist Internet-based terrorist group, the founders of the popular pony site, Equestria Daily, decide enough is enough. Bronies from all over the world have gathered in a small, abandoned industrial park in the run-down outskirts of Chicago to find the culmination of their dreams: Equestria. Through the wonders of science, they flee Earth for a land of magic, mystery and secrets. They will be weighed, they will be measured... will they be found wanting or will their dreams come true?

Story Idea inspired by a chapter in Shipping and Handling by PegasusRescueBrigade.

The Sequel: Magical Wizard Brony Detectives

Rainbow Dash, a newly promoted Sergeant in the Galactic Republic forces, has been given the prestigious honor of joining Wonderbolt Squad, the best and brightest special operations unit in the galaxy. They're elite, they're fast, they're efficient, and best of all, Dash is one of them. But when she sets hoof on the dusty, rocky world of Ord Mantell for the first time, she discovers very quickly that being the best does not make you invincible. Her selfish pride may get in the way of seeking assistance, and even the persistent pestering of a certain Smuggler may not be enough to save the Sergeant from an untimely demise at the hands of the rebellious Separatists plotting to take over Ord Mantell.

In a time long before the reign of Discord, in the early days of Equestria, six alicorns brought peace and order to the land.

A stormy night brings an abandoned foal to the doorstep of a pegasus professor - but this young foal will affect the next two millenia of history.

Through times of triumph and turmoil, it can be seen that there are many sides to the same story.

First of Seven in the Chronicle series

Rainbow Dash usually had her head in the clouds, but she always thought she knew up from down. When an incredible revelation sends her life into a tailspin, she finds herself at the mercy of emotions she never thought she had, faced with hard questions and impossible choices.

Life is full of changes, but none of them are quite as disturbing as having a horn pop out of your skull…

Original Lauren Faust canon; non-alicorn Twilight, non-alicorn Cadance, no ascension. Diverges from the cartoon after season 3, with nods to later continuity wherever possible. Contains mature themes.

Inspired by fanart from artist Banshee42ru. Set a few years after Season 2 (pending future edits), the story follows the relationship of Spike and Apple Bloom. Their young love takes a serious turn when she finds herself pregnant with a half-dragon, half-pony foal. How will their family and friends react, and what will this halfbreed child mean for them and Equestrian society as a whole?

NOTE: Updates and new chapters tend to take a rather long time, but unless I actually put it as 'On Hiatus' I actually am working on it. It's not abandoned, I just have a really slow writing process.
Also, a while back someone sent this to Equestria Daily without asking me. I appreciate the thought, but they work on a strike system and I really don't want to be locked out.

(Cancelled/ indefinite hiatus - I like this, but I've got too many stories running. I may come back to this.) It's been ten years since the Cutie Mark Crusaders received their cutie marks. Life has gone on, but the trio remained best friends forever. In two days time Sweetie Belle leaves for Canterlot to pursue her singing career, so Scootaloo and Apple Bloom prepare to throw her one last party. Meanwhile, Diamond Tiara goes missing.

Spike The Dragon enters a deep sleep in a cave beneath Ponyville, and wakes up centuries later to a whole new world! Prologue is sad and somewhat dark, but the humor picks up after that. -Part of my shared fanfic universe, but can be read separately-
