Diamond Tiara is off sick with a cold, and Apple Bloom sees it as an oppurtunity to both help her out, and earn her Cutie Mark at the same time.

Contains traces of DiamondBloom.

One fateful night, Apple Bloom discovers Diamond Tiara's deep, dark (?) secret. But will this discovery cause a greater rift between these two, or will it bring them closer together?

We judge others on things we know. Alula knows flight.

There is more to life than flying though, and what she does not know just might cost her Diamond Tiara.

Dinky has found out that she is dying of cancer, with not much time to live, she makes a bucket list for herself. Her main goals are to make amends with her enemies at school, meet her estranged father for the final time, meet her idols, including the royal family and Rainbow Dash, and finally say goodbye to her friends and family.

The first in a trilogy, it will be followed by a prequel and a sequel.

Every child has a moment when they must come face to face with fear. It is a moment predicated in growth and exemplifying growing up. It is a moment that can define a childhood, for good or ill.

For Dinky Hooves, that moment has come.

Winning entry of the January 2013 Writeoff, "The First Time".

A standalone story of the Whiskverse!

This story is a sequel to From the Mouths of Fillies

As her battle with cancer draws to a close, Ditzy Doo spends her final days with the ponies closest to her. There is so much for her to say to her friends and family--so much in so little time that she might forget to say one of the most important words may go unspoken.

A side story to From the Mouths of Fillies and Saying Goodbye, and a semi-sequel to What's in a Name.

Not quite a mare, but unhappy being a colt. It's a hard position for a young pony to be in. Would be easier if judgement weren't in every look, hate in every scowl. For Glitter Shell, even her friends and family aren't giving her the support she needs. So, she goes to find some in her personal hero.

Based on the blog Ask Glitter Shell. Give it a chance; I doubt you'll regret it.

Featured on Equestria Daily on August 12th, 2013; thank all of you for the support! Though please remember to support trans people in real life. This story is a very tame snapshot of what they have to go through for most of their lives.

For as long as any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders can remember, Diamond Tiara had always been the biggest bully they knew. But when that said bully dies in an accident, each of them starts to go through their own emotional experience from this sudden change in their lives. Each will learn more about themselves and about the pony who they all thought they knew before she is laid to rest.

***Takes place just after season 3 but before season 4. This story is completed.***

Now with TV Tropes page

“There is no easy way to say this. One of our scans showed that there was something wrong with the musculature in Scootaloo’s wings. In short, the muscles are underdeveloped. They will likely never support her enough to allow flight.”
