In the south side of Canterlot, in the Broken Wing apartment building, follow the stairs up to the top floor. Mind the dark spot, there's wood rot in the floor boards, and if you were to go past the apartment that sounds like an industrial factory was hidden within, you would find the humble abode of Phoenix Quill.

Within this simple but messy studio apartment, you look around and find no sign of the stallion, but take a look around and you will find that he has a collection of stories for you to read. Some his, others not. Mostly true, and some pure fiction.

None of it's labeled beyond the name of the story, and it seems that it will be a while before he'll be home to chat with you, so why not curl up and enjoy a book. Who knows, there may be a gem or two within.

Story One: Canterlot Nights

This is where I will post my stories that I feel are just too short, random, or boring to stand up on their own, including some stories that were meant for Discord Writes a Ship Fic, and some small stories that help everyone to connect the lines between all my other works.

Here is a handy guide for you to understand how some of these will be put up.
If you see a title, then that's all it is or ever will be.
If it says "Disc" next to a title, it's something Discord wrote.
If the story has multiple parts, for some reason... It will be labeled as parts A-B-C etc.
If the story is not cannon at all with my other stories, it will be labeled as "Fic"

Lyra Heartstrings knows that today will be the day everything changes. It's what they told her, and why would they lie to her?

Little does she know that she's not the only one who has been anticipating this day.

[takes place before the season 4 finale]

My name is Doctor Stable. I've treated countless patients in my over a decade and a half service to the town that raised me. I'd never been caught up in any of the patients personal strifes or troubles, cold though that may seem. Although I'm not proud of it, I've lost numerous patients. Some to conditions beyond my control, some to diseases I could have easily cured, had I just run the proper test. I was unshakable. Until one day the hospital decided to break me, and I'm sad to say, I think it did.

Let's be serious here. We all love our ponies. We all love our stories as well. But sometimes I think that we forget ourselves. There are so many stories here of tragedy and loss. There are so many stories here that involve quirky and surreal situations. And so, to rekindle a sort of forgotten flame, here is The Great Equestrian Picturebook, so that we can more so remember the kid inside of us.

This is pretty much a drawfriend with words.

It was a long cold life, but a soldier must carry on. But when this shocked soldier is pulled away from a fatal situation by none other than Rainbow Dash: he must overcome his cold hardheartedness and care for the Pegasus that unmistakably saved his life.

First fan fiction ever, and probably first story I have ever written in my life. So any constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks.

Love has many faces. Parents and children, brothers and sisters, lovers, friends, all of them share unique bonds that hold them together. These bonds may be simple or complicated, and sometimes we find them in unexpected places. The bonds that hold Equestria together are no different.

Takes place sometime between "Sleepless in Ponyville" and "Magical Mystery Cure."

Thanks to my prereader and proofreader, Midnight Spark.

Featured on Equestria Daily oon June 29, 2013, which happens to be the day after I got married.

For many years, citizens of Equestria have lived in peace and happiness, protected by the princesses and the bearers of Elements of Harmony; but soon, everything will change. This time there are no villains or unspeakable dangers; there's just war, hate, and ponies giving and taking lives. From the streets of Detrot to the Royal Palace in Canterlot, each pony will rise up against his fellow pony, and one of them will not rise up to see another day.

Also has a spin-off, called The Nest

Warning: Beware of spoilers in the comments! The story contains swearing and gore.

Edit 4.03.2014: New version of the first chapter, fixed pacing and OOCness.

One changeling is going to become a martyr for her entire race. How, you ask? Well, by becoming friends with ponies, of course!

She's doomed...

Don't expect very long chapters with this, as it's just a short set-up for what will be a much longer sequel.
