Always fearing for her friends' safety, Twilight Sparkle takes it upon herself to create body doubles to use as protection.

Each body double looks just like the original.

Sounds just like the original.

And is also highly explosive.

Twilight Sparkle wants you to ignore that last part.

Darkeater Midir was a mighty dragon, a dragon that could be comparable to the Everlasting Dragons. Taken as an egg, he was raised by the Gods to combat the Dark and keep the Abyss at bay. Now defeated, he finds his soul whisked away to a strange Wood, that locals seem to refer to as the "Everfree".

Spike was an average assistant, even for a young dragon. It could be argued that he is a strong as he is tall, and that's saying a lot. He sees himself as strong, but can never muster up the courage to those strong things. The best thing he did was save an Empire, but that was sheer dumb luck! ....Or so he tells himself. He became a 'Friendship Ambassador' for the Dragon Badlands, he was, for a split second, ruler of said lands. Yet even after all of that, he feels as if he's just... Nothing to other ponies. A chance encounter with the largest dragon he will see however, makes his life, and those around him change for the better...

And quite possibly in the worst way imaginable.

A poorly placed message leads to an interesting interaction between a Cursed Undead and Celestia.

A Dark Souls 2 crossover, and a one-shot to boot.

Decommissioning comes more easily to some ponies than others. Sweetie Drops happily fell into her cover identity. Not all of her co-agents reacted similarly. Now a stallion born to risk his life for the greater good has to find a way to make that talent work with being a husband and a father.

This might be a bit complicated for fillies who are still in elementary school.

Set during late Season 5.

A revised entry in the July 2016 Writeoff Competition Prompt: "End of an Era"

Luna discovers a vast and ancient being approaching Equus. When she and Celestia go to meet it, they see into the early dawn and eternal twilight of their universe.

All things face mortality. Princesses just do it more than once.

It is a cycle that Celestia has learned to accept, and then to appreciate, and finally to love. Not for what it was, but for who.

Now with a Spanish reading by Spaniard Kiwi

How did Sunset Shimmer get such a nice place with absolutely no records, no money, nothing?

Princess Celestia is very concerned about Equestrians’ lack of visits to their primary care physician, and Twilight and her friends are happy to help out on a public health campaign by filming a documentary about their visit to the doctor.

Thing is, they might not be the best ponies for a health campaign...

EDIT: Heyyyy, Featured #2 9/18! Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: Number one same day- glad you all enjoyed!
EDIT: Late Nite 9/20- lmao how is this still at #1
EDIT: Finally off number 1 but it took to 9/21. Actually means a bunch that everyone liked this silly little story :D

Over a thousand years ago, the griffons built a fortress in the Frozen North. Nopony alive today knows why except, perhaps, Princess Celestia - and she's ordered the abandoned structure to be reopened and brought back on duty by the brave ponies of the Royal Guard.

Because this is such an important assignment, the Guard has sent the only ponies that are up to the task - ponies whose service records are so spotty they're unwelcome in any other command.

Original one-shot/pilot written for the Quill & Blade Super Summer Jam

Left marked incomplete because I'll probably add more short, episodic chapters over time.

For most ponies the day they get their cutie mark is the day everything changes. That was especially true for Twilight Sparkle, as the day she got her cutie mark was also the day Princess Celestia took her on as a student, she gained a new little brother and started on the road to her future.

It was also the day she became a dragon.
