This story is a sequel to The Best Way to End the Day

Twilight is excited to finally have a chance for some quality brother-and-sister time when Shining Armour comes to visit Ponyville. However, when Shining arrives, he turns out to be much... wider than Twilight remembered.

Will Twilight get through a simple meal with him with her sanity intact?

Princess Celestia violates Star Swirl's privacy. After asking for his forgiveness, Star Swirl the Bearded reveals to her the true nature of the secret she's uncovered.

Then the wizened mage makes an unusual request: pay his mercy forward to her prodigal students in the distant future.

For those less familiar with the show, the cover image shows Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst, younger mages who are referred to in part of the story.

Alicorns are immortal. Earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi are not.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has no intention of going through life without her dearest friends...

Even if she has to do something extremely questionable to make that happen.

After becoming Prince of the Crystal Empire, Shining Armour's workload has become a bit less hectic than it was when he was Captain of the Royal Guard in Canterlot. This new, easier life has rather gone to his stomach and flanks. When Shining realises this and goes into a funk over it, it's up to Cadance to pull him out of it... and possibly give him a new body image in the process.

Contains: Pudgy stallions, belly rubs, tummy buzzes, and non-sexual fun time between a married couple.

This is one of a series of stories about a fat Shining Armour that I'll be reposting here from my DeviantArt account over the coming days. Enjoy!

This story is a sequel to The Sweetest Dessert

It's a big day for the Crystal Empire. The President of Strussia is visiting in order to negotiate a trade deal between the two countries. They've heard that Crystallian food is meant to be pretty good.

Shining can certainly attest to that.

Contains: fat stallions, gluttony, overeating.

Twilight finds a hidden book in the Royal Canterlot Library, though she might not like what it tells her.

When Big McIntosh comes by Carousel Boutique acting strangely, Rarity doesn't understand why he's acting even shyer than usual. But when he asks her to fix an old, ragged doll for him, it becomes clear that there's more going on than Mac will admit. Even if he were more talkative than usual.

Big Mac has always been hard to read. But it'll be even worse when he puts effort into it and makes sure no one finds out about his little stuffed friend—or the real reasons why he feels the need to hide her.

The walk back to the convention starts out so smoothly....until Rainbow Dash does something she probably shouldn't have.

Spoilers from "Stranger Than FanFiction"

Drone 319, Queen Chrysalis's top spy in Ponyville, finds himself hovering over Ciderfest tied to a balloon. Why? He doesn't know. When asked what he's doing, he says the first thing that comes to mind to keep his cover.

"I'm a Zeppelin."

Ballpoint Smudge has one job. It's not an easy one, but it's one he's determined to do to the best of his ability. The only problem is that as soon as he meets Twilight Sparkle, everything he's ever learned about princesses goes flying out of the window. He was expecting her to be regal, haughty and bossy. Instead she's warm, friendly and welcoming. Perhaps she's genuinely a nice pony? Nah. It's got to be a test.

Based on an idea by Ambrose Bierce, from his excellent Devil's Dictionary. Just look up 'Insurance'.
