Spitfire was sick. She was sick and tired. But Equestrian's lone human was there, and she was peeved about it.

She was about to find out how easy she was to read.

Written in a hour and a half. Pure one shot galore. I hate everything.

This story is a sequel to The Blueblood Papers: Bound By Blood

The Heartlands Campaign has reached a stalemate, and the Guards Division pauses to lick its wounds and prepare for the next offensive. While on leave, Prince Blueblood meets his hero, A. K. Yearling, and is dragged into a Daring Do story he would much rather have read.

A few months ago, Cherrilee's life changed for the better when she met a beautiful, funny, and intelligent mare in a Canterlot bar.

But that all changed when the Changelings attacked. Cherilee heard nothing from her marefriend for almost a whole week before she unexpectedly turned up on her doorstep, covered in bruises. While concerned, Cheerilee couldn't help but wonder, where did her bruises come from? Where had she been this last week? Eventually, Cheerilee couldn't help but consider...

Is my marefriend a Changeling?

Perhaps asking Twilight Sparkle for advice wasn't the best idea.

Controversial yes, but I lack the skill to draw my own, and funds to request a drawing.

Well, she’s nice when she’s doing tricks at least. She’s candid with everything about her, offering nothing to be used against her. Expect for one interview question…

“So are you dating anyone?”

Featured: 1/8/24. Thank you very much!

Anthro ponies getting frisky and saucy are a guarantee from here on. Maybe far more that'll make me have to change the rating, but we'll see how things kick off.

This story is a sequel to They're... ON HOLIDAY?

Ayyyy, featured despite the sequel curse on 16.10.2023! Can we keep the last spot in the box? What's in the box? Why is the box?
EDIT: Added a character cheat sheet on the bottom.

Updates: Weekly-ish

Six years have passed since the Canterlot invasion. While the relationship between the Changeling Hive and Equestria is warmer than ever, the relationship between the deadly tunnels under the Badlands and the small, mostly defenseless changeling drones who live there isn't.
However, thanks to the knowledge granted in the recent years by a mysterious "smart box", and the guidance of drone veterans who survived under the "old rules", the post-Canterlot "new rules", and the terrifying "shippy time", fewer and fewer drones perish daily while mining materials for the hive's day to day operations.
Fewer, though, still means far from zero, and there are those among the drones who are doing all they can to finally transform the underground from fatal threat to something the drones deserve - not just a place to hide, but a true home. With copious amounts of goop, unstoppable curiosity, copyrighted board game, and a blessing from High Score, there's no way they'll fail, or at least not for long.
Drones know that everything is a trade and life is just a price. Unfortunately, sometimes there are near-invisible asterisks.

Who knew that reading those books on advanced pony robotics would have such a quick turnaround? He'd sacrificed everything! Weeks of videogames! Weeks of new movies! Weeks of comics! All of it, worth every moment for his new creation.

Written as a collab with a friend.

Sunset is a roving part-timer, and Adagio sings on Whotube for tips. The pair are never more than a month from eviction, so when a shady party center offers Sunset a holiday bonus to work Christmas Eve it’s both too good to refuse… and too good to be true.

Written for Incandesca for Jinglemas 2023!

Going into volleyball season, everybody expected Sunset and Kerfuffle to shine—an unstoppable combo at the net, they proved their talent in the first game, crushing rival Crystal Prep.

Then Kerfuffle lost her leg.

And it's all Sunset's fault.

A mix of strange circumstances means that Gilda and Gallus are not spending the holidays in Griffonstone
"enjoying," or rather surviving, the Blue Moon Festival. Instead, they are in Equestria for Hearth's Warming. Can Gilda put her griffon grump aside to enjoy a more wholesome holiday? Maybe she can with Gallus's help.

Written for Teofilo for Jinglemas 2023

At Teofilio's request, Gilda and Gallus are step-siblings in this story.

Nightmare Moon rules Equestria with an iron hoof. Her reign is glorious, and her methods are cruel. On top of that, her short fuse is known across the land as the most dangerous weapon Equestria has ever seen.

This rage tends to be a problem when it is unleashed around her husband, Anon. The poor human is very squishy, and although it's unintentional, he often bears the brunt of her fury. This can sometimes be... fatal.

Thankfully, Nightmare Moon has mastered a spell to make this less of a problem. Nothing will come between her and her husband. Not even death.

...Something that Anon has grown uncomfortably used to.
