A living meteor has fallen, bringing the threat of Equestria's destruction. The Elements of Harmony have broken, following Rainbow Dash's ultimate sacrifice to protect her friends, and they scramble to solve the mystery while the world prepares for war. Moving forward is hard with Rainbow Dash dead.

But peace in the world beyond proves elusive to Rainbow, and she'll never let her friends down when they need her. Not even death will stop her from coming back.

Rarity is alone on Hearts and Hooves Day, and she's not happy about it. A friendly afternoon in the park with Applejack promises to turn their friendship to something more – or at least it would, if either of them would simply talk to the other about it.

Between her awkward sort-of romance with Applejack, her desire to help Fluttershy find a special somepony of her very own, family, friends, and the general day-to-day chaos that is life in Ponyville, this fashionista's got her hooves full.

Writers, Artists, Musicians; we all fear it. We dread the words, the single word that has doomed thousands of careers. That point where a creative genius is just stuck and can't move. "Block." It's been a good run, but Vinyl just doesn't have it in her anymore. For the longest time, she has been struggling to produce anything of value. Is this it then? Is this the end of DJ-PON3?

Not if Octavia has anything to say about it. Brace yourself, ponies. It's going to be one wild ride.

Thanks to John Perry and Nitrox for editing.

Princess Luna has a reason why she missed Cadance's wedding.

There was a question... and Spike wanted the answer. The curiosity of it was gnawing at his little dragon brain like gerbils in a vat of candy corn. In desperation, he turns to Cadence for help, and she's more than happy to assist.

After all, it's just a simple question. What's the worst that could happen?

(Takes place prior to Season 1. Rated for scattered innuendo.)

Macintosh has been dating Twilight steadily for over a year and a half now, but as their secret begins to come to light, will their relationship break under the stress as an unforeseen trouble brews on the horizon? Will it remain strong under fire from not one, but two over protective siblings?

And how does Twilight's growing, 'condition', effect all those who call Twilight friend, family, and lover?

<---------------D'awful Twilight and Big Macintosh drawn by cartoonlion on DeviantArt

After recovering from the love poison the troublesome Cutie Mark Crusaders gave them, Cheerilee and Big Macintosh were surprisingly unfazed by the strange situation. After a cordial evening together, the two got along just as well as they ever have, despite the awkwardness of their day.

However, weeks later, Cheerilee finds herself strangely ill...

What brought Rarity and Applejack together, nopony knows, but you can bet your last barrel of cider that nothing this side of Discord could separate them.

An ongoing series of slice-of-life snapshots. This barn here'll be clop-free, y'all got it?

These stories are in continuity with Luna's Librarian and If the Flight Suit Fits.

All chapters originally written as separate entries for flash-fic blog Thirty Minute Ponies (TMP). Many thanks to TMP for inspiring me to write!

The Quiet Revelations - Applejack has a nice quiet sit on the front porch to think a few things over. Maybe a little too quiet - or maybe it's just right after all.

Answers Above - Rarity has something to ask; for other ponies this would be a formality, but for her, it will be out of this world.

Happily Ever After, Checklist Never Ending, Part 1 and Part 2 - With Twilight Sparkle as your wedding planner, you're in good hooves. Right?

Vinyl Scratch's irresponsible and wasteful lifestyle has gotten on her house-mate Octavia's last nerve. That unicorn needs to be taught a lesson, and fast. But how do you make somepony who hasn't even taken care of her own trash before be taught to take chores, house upkeep, and the feelings of others seriously?
Give them a problem they can't ignore, that's how, and Sweetie Belle is the perfect filly for the job.

Inspired by a comic. I can't remember the name of it, though.
