After escaping their stone imprisonment, the ex-villains of Equestria, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow go on an unexpected journey together, where along the way, they’ll discover there's more to each other than they first thought, opening doors to bonds they never would of thought possible.

Is power really just all Cozy needed? Outside approval what Tirek wanted? Or a new place for Chrysalis to belong? What do these three very different creatures have to learn, or gain, from each other?

Ever since the first Hearts Warming eve, there has been a special Canterlot celebration, one that all of the children in Equestria wait for with eager anticipation.

On this day, the Princesses of Equestria throw a party in their home to celebrate such a joyful occasion. A spectacular party where everyone is more than welcome as long as they don't have any evil intentions. Such a party serves as a reminder of the things that came to pass and how a strong friendship beat back what would have been an inevitable demise.

Yet the prince of Canterlot was anything but joyful. Truth be told, he hated the celebration in question. Because if not of a noble or royal line, to him, they were not worth his time or attention, and so with a scowl in his face and a cold soup in his hoof, each year, he avoided the festivities and waited for them to pass.

Not this time, though, as a warning will be issued, and three spirits will show him his current path and what is in the end to such an infuriating brat.

This story is a sequel to Strange Day at the Recruitment Office

There was one thing Gallus always wanted to be growing up in Griffonstone, a military officer. There was one slight problem though, he made several friends at a school in Ponyville, all of whom he values greatly but they also plan to stay in Equestria. So now sets his sights on being an officer in the E.U.P. Guard, by making his way into and through Canterlot's Royal Guard Academy.

Problem solved... except he'll be training at one of the toughest academies in Equestria, trying to keep in touch with his friends in Ponyville, while trying to make new friends in Canterlot, and oh yeah, he's a griffon amongst an institution full of ponies.

I am not very fond of the episode Spike at Your Service. Really because Spike was turned into a complete idiot. I wanted to write something that was more respectful to his character.

Just how different are mares and stallions in approaching friendship problems?

Twilight and Spike intend to find out, and it seems like the perfect excuse to jump into an alternate universe. Specifically, one where everypony was born the opposite gender.

Snips and Snails have their Cutie Marks, but finding out what they want for a career is hard. Snails would rather stay young and carefree, but Snips knows who he wants to grow up to be. Will Snips be able to face the teasing that may come from that dream? Can Snails grow like his friend, or will their difference in ambition break their friendship apart?

Snips and Snails pester Twilight to teach them magic, so Twilight suggests they enroll at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns in Canterlot. Their parents are less than thrilled by the idea. Will they get in and realize their dreams of becoming great magical ponies?

Warning: Contains OC parent pony ramblings.

Alphabittle grew up on stories of Bridlewood before the loss of magic. Against an overwhelming atmosphere of dark and dreary depression, there's only so much a single pony can do. But you can still do it and hope that one day it will be enough.

The Rainboom happens as it should, and a few certain fillies earn their cutie marks because of it. Except little Pinkamena Diane Pie, who went inside before she could witness it. Thus, she never left the rock farm.

That meant she wasn't in Ponyville to throw that party that inspired a runaway colt named Cheese Sandwich.

However, the two end up meeting in adulthood, and the broke wanderer Cheese takes a job at the rock farm, and works alongside the grumpy Pinkamena and her family.

My take on an AU, created upon realizing that Cheese Sandwich was indirectly affected by the Sonic Rainboom. And in case you're wondering, the whole eternal night thing goes the same way as the show (except a different mare--whoever you imagine--wields the Element of Laughter).
