This story is a sequel to A Diplomatic Visit

 Second in the Diplomacy-verse, and a part of the greater "Powers-That-Be" multiverse. As Twilight Sparkle begins her travels around the world and seeks to mend the divides between the nations, friends old and new have their own adventures back home.

The School of Friendship takes all kinds of students and deals with all kinds of friendship problems on a daily basis. Some things are easily resolved: A fight between two students over lunch, troubles getting along with someone else during a friendship exercise, that sort of thing. Some times, it's more troubling behavior from more troubling sources; unhappy families, unresolved issues in the like.

And then you run into some students with too much talent, too little self-confidence and an unusual approach to solving problems. Like Dusty Gust.

Fortunately, The School of Friendship takes all kinds of faculty, too. Including guidance counselors whose knack for theatrics is surpassed only by their willingness to work with children, regardless of how atypical their problems might be.

My entry into the Kirin Fans of Cuteness story exchange, and a gift for VoxArachne. I sincerely hope that I got the character right - The wiki only listed her as "Kirin Friendship Student S09E26 Unnamed Kirin #3", so I gave it my own touch, embellished things a little and hoped for the best. In any case, hope you liked it.

In a quiet spaceship making a nondescript voyage, Applejack knows something is wrong.

The computer says everything is fine.

Her crewmates say everything is fine.

Her very eyes say everything is fine.

And yet she just can't let go of the feeling that things are not fine at all.

Rainbow Dash's life is full of colour: of sunrises and sunsets that dance, of skies so blue you can taste them, of prisms that fracture light and fill one's soul with rainbows. Truly, it is a life where she couldn't ask for more.

Why do ponies fear that? It's as if they're scared of beauty. Or maybe scared of her, possibly.

If only they'd let her enlighten them. But maybe today will be a luckier day...

I know I made promises about what my 50th fic would be. Trust me, I do have them in mind and I will finish writing and publish them, for your sakes and mine. I just didn't want to write two romance stories in a row, that's all, and I figured that I could shake things up a little and try something new.

Thanks to Flashgen for helping me write this. And my sincerest thanks to Hay Tea for making this possible.

Everygriff's got to do their part for Mt. Aris, what with trouble on the horizon; and what can be done, by whoever can do it, should be done. And if Queen Novo needs a face for the country - a perky, cheerful, smiling face to keep the general public happy and enthusiastic enough to soldier on as always, who better to do it than a hippogriff who's reputation abroad was that she could turn the world on with her smile?

Mt. Aris needs a personality to sell. Silverstream fits the bill. It's nothing less than her friends would do for their countries.

And what's a few silly comments compared to the happiness of others? It's no less than her friends could do, right?

All my thanks to WandererD for his help, Equestria at War for being an indirect inspiration - though not a 1:1 for the story's setting - and Best girl for being amazingly cute and lovable.

Sorry for hurting the things I love.

Finals had just finished up at the School of Friendship, which meant that the weekend was wide-open for the relieved students on campus. However, since the recent actions of Cozy Glow still lingered guilt across the student body, a group of students decided to take take advantage of their newfound freedom with a gracious visit. They were hoping to find the Student Six in their dorm rooms so they could present a thoughtful gift, and some much-needed apologies for their involvement with the sadistic filly. Unfortunately, the group were only met with Smolder when they tried to state their case.

And to make matters worse, the dragon did not seem too keen on accepting their forgiveness right off the bat.

Can Turquoise and her friends manage to break through Smolder's gruff exterior and prove their atonement? Or is there a deeper reason for the dragoness' resistance to their claims?

"...The test ends when you open that door."

Princess Luna has begun searching for her own personal student, and her test has hit a small snag: Not a single unicorn, out of the dozens of applicants, has passed. In fact, every last candidate has failed the test in seconds.

But just what is the purpose of this test? And how can somepony pass it?

A young earth pony named Morning Glory is going to find out.

This story is a sequel to That's a lot of damage!

Chrysalis doesn't understand why she can't kill this stupid human interfering with her plans.

We all know the answer to that question.

WE HAVE A FUCKING AUDIO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Fire Hearth did an amazing job, couldn't have done it better myself! Look at it! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

This story is a sequel to The Pony and the Yak

(Takes place before "The Ending of the End". Familiarity with the prequel is strongly recommended, though not required.)

Yona and Sandbar have been a couple for quite a long time now, and are preparing to go on their first true date together. Both know that a first date means a lot.

Sandbar decides to get some advice from the only one of his professors to have any experience in romance and the same professor who helped Yona "Fit In". Meanwhile, Yona makes some last minute preparations of her own.

What sort of advice will Rarity have to offer Sandbar? And will it be the kind of advice that Sandbar can benefit from?

(This story is a semi-sequel to The Pony and the Yak and Best First Date. Familiarity with them is encouraged but not required.)

The world is changing and Sandbar knows it. Events are unfolding rapidly, upending everything the pony's ever known.

In fact, these rapid and alarming changes have the young earth pony doubting himself. After all, he's only one pony. What difference can he possibly make in the grand scheme of things?

Luckily for Sandbar, he's got a supportive girlfriend in the form of Yona. And Yona will be darned if she lets Sandbar continue to doubt himself for no good reason.
