There is an ending to every great story. For Spike, Shining Armor's story will never end. No matter what Twilight, Cadence, or the doctors say.

Spike isn't ready for that story to end. Not yet. There is one more thing he needs to add... if he can find the words to do so.

Rated Teen for thematic elements.

Rainbow Dash has an unusual way of learning, and Twilight’s determined to take advantage of it. Before she knows it, Rainbow’s worst fears become reality and her life unravels before her eyes as she becomes the smartest pony alive.

The dark tag is for the implications of the story.

An entry for the April 2015 write-off event, with the prompt “Great Expectations.”

Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is the center of magical research in Equestria. Since Apple Bloom developed a love of potion making and an interest in the theory behind magic, she recognizes what an honor it would be to study there. But that would also mean being the only non-unicorn student to ever attend, leaving her friends and family, and moving to a strange city... and that's if she can pass an entrance exam designed to select the most magically gifted unicorns.

Spike has never wanted more than to be Twilight's number one assistant. But when Twilight points out that there's a pony right in front of him who needs an experienced assistant even more than she does, it means considering a life where he's making the most of his talents... but one without Twilight by his side.

For both of them, facing hard decisions are just part of growing up.

Second place winner for the April Writeoff Association prompt "Great Expectations."

Once thought to be a mere myth, Princess Luna returns. However, she has a lot of catching up to do. With the aid of family, and new friends, She may be able to step out of the shadows and shine on her own.

It wasn't meant to end like this. Both knew that, though they never said it. Eyes blind to the desolation around them, they find comfort in each other, searching for a means to an end. They don't have forever to search, and they know it is only a matter of time. But they strive for tomorrow, while there is still a chance of reversal.

This story is a sequel to Yaerfaerda

A newly transformed Rainbow Dash continues her flight east.

Table for Two is an experimental story about conversation, through conversation.
To new readers: it is strongly recommended that you read this story in order, and be patient with oddities -- nothing is quite as it seems.

When Rainbow Dash receives the verdict that her final grade is in jeopardy, she enlists the help of most eggheadiest person she knows.

Unfortunately, she encounters a problem. A naked problem.

A very naked problem.

A comedy of the nudist variety.

It brings me great pride to say that this fic inspired the Nudists and Nudity group. Go check it out for all your barebacked needs!

Rated "T" for trigonometry.
Sex tag is for lewd jokes and language, not sex scenes.

I was only a baby, then. I had to grow up someday.

Here, at Pony Joe's, I hope to find something. Closure, maybe, or I could just be trying to delay the inevitable. I'll have to return someday soon and face what I've done.

Twilight assures me that every creature, pony, dragon, or anything, goes through this. It doesn't make it any easier to live with.

Maybe one more doughnut will erase everything. I can only hope it does.

When the guards find a foal crying in the city streets, they bring him to Celestia's attention. Soon after, It becomes apparent he has fallen through every crack in Equestria's society. Feeling she has failed the colt, Celestia takes him into her own home.
