Rainbow Dash wants to get better at writing, so she tries her hand at prompt writing.

Sunset Shimmer is not impressed with the results.

When Gaberdine is awarded a noble title by Princess Celestia, he soon finds out that his new lands contain several surprises. For starters, there is no land in his new barony. Secondly, his new castle turns out to be a broken-down riverboat. And third is… seaponies.

Baron Gaberdine has a lot to learn about his new barony. And himself.

Fortunately, he has a very young teacher.

In the past, Ponykind attempted to create alicorns, legendary creatures said to be like the goddesses themselves. But then, the War started, the goddesses vanished, and the constructs of science and magic turned their abilities on the living.

Now, years later, the world is struggling to pick up from where it left off, and the constructed alicorns are ingrained into everypony's mind as being soulless monsters. And despite the warring factions outside destroying what alicorns they come across, the Alicorn Project is still in operation.

In contrast to the outside world, for the new alicorns, life seems perfect. They're permitted to interact with each other, communicate with the Interface who acts as their teacher, and grow for Placement in a registered family they could call their own.

But one alicorn named Twilight, set to be placed with the Sparkle family, struggles with questions. Why her family-to-be seems so protective of her. Why the Interface refuses to tell her everything.

And why everyone refuses to let her go Outside.

After their defeat at the hands of the Rainbooms, the Sirens wanted to make a break for it, leave Canterlot, and regroup someplace else.

But with the authorities now onto them, that isn't an option.

Faced with being sent to juvy or worse, an orphanage, the Sirens are given an alternative they don't particularly like:

Being "rehabilitated" by their enemies.

At Principal Celestia's suggestion, the Sirens are separated from one another, and each is sentenced to live with one of the Rainbooms. Adagio is sent to live with Sunset Shimmer. Sonata is sent to live with Pinkie Pie.

Aria is sent to live with Fluttershy. One of these girls is in for a whole lot of trouble.

Everypony knows how the tribes united... right?

There's a play every Hearth's warming, repeated across the entire country of Equestria, that illustrates the founding of the nation and the figures therein. Yes it's been watered down for the foals, but honestly it can't be that inaccurate.... right?

Well... a certain unicorn might have other ideas. Given that she was around when it happened, Twilight decides to listen. But what she says might shatter a few illusions and rile up the wrong ponies.

After all, Princess Platinum can't be trusted. Can she?

This story is a sequel to Through the Well of Pirene

NOTE: I wrote this before the 2020 BLM protests and my learning more about policing. I would have written it differently after, but I won't be changing it. Just keep in mind that the depiction here is of another world and another species from a different perspective.

In the City of Dreams, the City That Never Sleeps, a wistful heart walks the lonely streets, searching for answers to questions no one else is willing to ask. A reluctant pilgrim arrives from a long journey, weary but determined to make his mark. An old warhorse, his soul cracked and bleeding, saddles up for his last battle.

A noir tale set in Manehattan, fifteen years after the events of Through the Well of Pirene. Three people over the course of three nights weave and unravel a tale of anxiety, pain, and hope under the lights of the greatest city in Equestria, and the watchful gaze of a green star.

Rainbow Dash is the most loyal, daring, and toughest pony in Equestria. Everypony knows that.

All three of those attributes are put to the test when Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Equestria is killed.

Rainbow must undertake a daunting journey that only one before her has, and finds the most unlikely of secrets waiting there for her, chained to a dark place.

When love that's so far unrequited wars with love that is returned, and with Canterlot in ruins, Rainbow Dash must decide: heart or head?

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Friendship is Overpowered (Season 2)

That was easy!

Join Twilight Sparkle and her friends as they easily defeat every challenge thrown at them with their awesome friendship powers.

Queen Platinum is dying.

She is cursed, and every day she grows weaker. If she dies, the kingdom will collapse, and the three tribes will once again fragment. Centuries of unity and harmony will come to an end.

There is only one thing that might cure her – a mystical, half-forgotten potion known as the Panacea. It can cure any curse, any disease, any poison. But all magic has its price, and the greater the magic, the greater the sacrifice it requires.

Prince Hyperion will do anything to save his mother. He will find the Panacea, regardless of the cost.

Even if he isn't the one who must pay it.

Winner of the April Writeoff Competition

The destination is often what many people know about, but it is often the journey that holds the memories for those involved.

After an encounter with a hated rival during a festival she'd been looking forwards to all year, Rarity learns that sometimes her anger and pride blind her to what -- or rather, who -- is most important.
