With Twilight Sparkle's ascension to Princesshood, little fillies across the world dream away with the knowledge that any one of them could become a Princess themselves, somehow, some day. Unicorns dream of sprouting wings and tasting the clouds, Pegasi imagine what it might be like to conjure from thin air, and the Earth Ponies...

Well, they've always been a practical people. "Keep your hooves on the ground and your head with your hooves," as they say.

But one little Earth Pony wonders how different her kind is from the fiery Pegasi and crafty Unicorns - What does an Earth Pony have to offer that they don't?

So, she does some light research on the inherent magics of ponykind, and how they tie together into the apex form known as an Alicorn.

She is less than pleased with her results.

"It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away, restin' in the water serene.
I'd work for anyone, even the Navy, who would float me to my island dream."

Celestia and Luna enjoy the island life, in quiet solitude.

A submission for the Tropical Post-Apocalyptic Story Contest. Cheers and good luck to all entrants.

Hi. I’m Anon. Your run of the mill asshole. A proud one at that. When I came to this world, the princesses didn’t expect much. Then, they saw how I was good at picking up mistakes. So, they made me a functioning person in society. A mostly pony society. Ponies and other creature would be expecting to be welcomed by a warm hearted pony. Instead, they got me.

Here’s the sequel. People like it for some reason.

On one cold night, Sweetie Belle’s world is shattered by the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Rarity. Finding it impossible to navigate a world without her sister, she becomes a shadow of her former self, convinced that nothing else can fill the void.

That is until one name starts repeating in her mind: Scootaloo.

The Great and Powerful Trixie has decided that you are the perfect one-man audience for her new routine...and maybe more. As a powerful and talented showmare, she has no qualms about having a "captive audience", but when Anon has no intention of watching a full magic set, she tries a different approach. 

Comments are very much appreciated!

Twilight Sparkle had studied various topics and theories since she started her tutelage under the princess. She recently discovered a series of reports by a Sirius Star, a pony who had lived during the early years of Equestria under Princess Celestia, and seemed to have been instrumental in discovering many breakthroughs in both magic and exploration of the known world. Now she wants to know what her teacher, Princess Celestia knew of the pony.

Dashverse AU: Rainbow Dash, the student of Queen Celestia, finds herself in the awkward position of playing diplomat when Ember, the Dragon Lord, suddenly takes up residence in a mountain just outside Ponyville. This is attracting all manner of attention, including from other dragons.

Rainbow Dash has to find out what brought Ember to Ponyville and what's going on in the Dragon Lands. Luckily, she's being aided by a dragon expert Celestia dispatched from Canterlot. Unluckily, Twilight has a bit of a history with him, which only complicate Rainbow Dash's own efforts to muddle through this stint of draconic diplomacy.

An earth pony healer is given responsibility over an injured unicorn. All eyes are on them. Maybe even those of Windigos.

Humans were always a gamble: a 50/50 split. Brad's horse, however? They were always there 100% of the time. But she proves even she has surprises when she opens doors to another world entirely. This is a tale of their exploration.
