Diplomacy, foreign relations, cultural exchange, all important duties that Twilight needs to learn as a princess. Fortunately, this foray in to the unknown is made much easier when she meets a lovely foreign pony from the French Equestrian Kingdom who's willing to be friends with her.

Now, if only they could actually understand each other.

Series of oneshots set in a RariTwi AU based on the prompt, "Rarity and Twilight are princesses from different countries, smitten with each other despite being unable to communicate".

On the day that Astral Sign got his cutie mark, a meteor fell from space and struck his home. The next day, his parents filed for divorce.

The events were not unrelated.

My attempt at imitating the style of the incomparable GaPJaxie. Much love buddy :)

There's a tension in Twilight and Rarity's relationship, one that they've danced around and only now are brave enough to address head on.

Written for the Pride and Positivity event! Sorry I'm late.

Consider giving something to those who need it most.

Spike the dragon. Personal student of Princess Celestia. Sharp. Attentive. Currently on a four-week study bender of rare, foul-tasting slugs. Not the kind of creature you would typically find at a seedy Canterlot dive bar on a Saturday night. 

But when his assistant, a rambunctious unicorn with a penchant for punk rock, inadvertently ruins his experiment for a night of wild partying, Spike takes it upon himself to reign her back in. Being family means fighting fires you didn’t start. And this unicorn seems determined to start as many as possible.

Pre-Season One Alternate Universe. Heavily inspired by Jenna Starbright’s, “In Shade, We Rest.” Proofread by Miller Minus. He's a champ!

Two lovers pass along the same path with the same problem. Rarity and Twilight are in the doldrums of life, and find that answers are few, far between, and sometimes wordless.

Written for Monochromatic's Interwoven Colors contest.

Seven stories, all connected by geography, time, and theme. A storm is coming out of the Everfree, and it sets the stage for seven ponies to think. Or not to think, as they choose. To learn or to run. Or just to be quiet and to know.

Lyra and Bon Bon have a fight.

Evil is a circle. A pony is hurt and in turn hurts another. It self-perpetuates, misery on top of misery, geometric, exponential. Lyra considers this.

What does someone like Twilight Sparkle do when they need an editor for their writing?

Simple, they turn to magic instead.

A metafictional horror

CW: Description of a suicide, depiction of a murder

Rarity prides herself on her work, and when letters start pouring in from Canterlot after the Royal Wedding she is overjoyed by the enthusiasm for her dresses. Drawing on her friend Fancy Pants, she is able to set up a temporary shop in Canterlot for one month, where she will do her best to turn out as many dresses and outfits as she possibly can.

She swears to Twilight and her friends that she won't fall for the allure of the big city again, and that Ponyville won't have to go long without her... but once there, she is quickly swept up in the grandeur and glamour of post-Wedding Canterlot. Her clients are rich, prestigious and famous, with clout and influence to burn...

...but it is one mare, a simple gray earth pony, who catches her attention. She doesn't behave like the rest- she is quiet, yet when she speaks she is witty and clever, not dull and droll like the others. She dodges Rarity's questions about her artfully, which only piques the white unicorn's interest and nigh-on forces her to dig deeper into the community to find out about this mysterious mare named Octavia.

But what does she hope to find? Why is she so driven to find out more about the gray earth pony musician... and what will she do with the information she gleans?

This story is a sequel to Where My Heart Lives

Rarity and Octavia have been dating for six months now, taking everything slow and steady just as Rarity promised that they would. Their love has done nothing but grow stronger and stronger, and now more than ever the two of them are certain that they truly do love one another. They're so certain, in fact, that Octavia has proposed taking the next step in their relationship: meeting one another's family and friends... and since most of Octavia's family lives very far away, Rarity's gets top billing.

This does, of course, raise a fair number of questions for Rarity. How will she introduce Octavia to her parents? Will they like her? Will Sweetie Belle like her? How in Equestria is she going to introduce the private and quiet musician to her gaggle of colorful, excitable and unique friends without scaring her off? Will Twilight Sparkle's new status as Princess be a little too intimidating? Will Fluttershy be able to handle the thought of Rarity and Octavia being 'romantic' together? Will Pinkie Pie behave herself even a little?

The more she thinks about it, the more upset her stomach gets... but she knows that it will be worth it in the end.
