After reading a book by Spitfire's personal trainer, Rainbow Dash decides that the best way to get closer to her ultimate goal of joining the Wonderbolts is to add strength training to her practices by having one of her friends ride her. However, when she decides that Twilight Sparkle is just the mare for the job, the pegasus gets a bit more than she bargained for.

In a freak accident from the Cloudsdale weather control team, Twilight is struck down by an errant lightning bolt. But the veil of death is relatively thin...

Luna finds out about Pip's life, and decides to adopt him. This leads to her going to Ponyville much more often, and seeing more familiar faces. Feelings that she can't explain begins to develop in her.

Twilight Sparkle relates to her sovereign a chilling tale of Miss Lyra Heartstrings' discovery of an unspeakably evil artifact. In the guise of an innocent instrument, it is a harbinger of doom. What obsessions will it instill in its owner? What madness and ruin will it bring to Equestria? What corruption and mutation shall result from its accursed existence?

A tale of what happens when one opens one's eyes to the mysteries that lay before or lie beyond. Some curiosities are not worth satiating, lest they be made aware ...

You have always felt feelings for a certain purple unicorn, but how can you tell her? The answer is simple, you do what you're good at. And you can only hope that she returns those feelings as well.

How long can Rainbow Dash keep her secret? (Not very). How will her friends react when they find out? (Not well). Will Twilight Sparkle have anything to put in her friendship report to the Princess? (Yes, but the letter might be used as evidence in a murder investigation). Rainbow Dash will be honest with herself and her friends, Twilight will learn an important lesson, and the friends will discover many of them had more in common with each other than they previously thought. All this and no more can be found within!

Spike, Snips and Snails are hanging out with the CMC's on the farm. As Spike leaves to go home he takes a shortcut through the back 40 of Sweet Apple Acres he finds Scootaloo alone in the CMC tree house feeling miserable. The story focuses on a tale of two different types of orphan and how they find solace in each other.

That's right it's Scoots x Spike. If people complain that it's not their version of fanon or canon, then let's say it takes place on Equestria-789 in the multiverse.

The fics's pic will definitely change as make my own picture for the story.

Oh and special thanks goes to my good friend WinterTwister for helping me write this fic.

Scootaloo has dreaded this day -- the day she would have to give her Family Appreciation Day presentation.

Partially inspired by AmberWings's Final Dreams of a Filly/I couldn't wake you, because you can never wake up again... Though I don't think this is on par in terms of sadness. I don't know. You tell me.

A new pegasus stallion catches Rainbow Dash's eye. Being a novice in the ways of romance, Rainbow turns to her friends for help...

It was a construct built to last the ages, a great machine hoofcrafted by Celestia and her most skilled arcanists. Within its nigh-indestructible confines, the countless inhabitants of the Moon Engine system could live out their thousand-and-one-year duty, aiding Celestia in a task left unmanaged during Nightmare Moon's banishment.

And for a thousand years and eight months, all was as it should be.

...and then Trixie showed up.

Nopony anticipated quite how much damage a single pony could do. But then, nopony'd ever thought to consider somepony quite as... viral as Trixie.
