Ponyville was supposed to be Ditzy’s fresh start, a chance to leave the past behind and be her own mare. So what if that fresh start includes sleeping in her second cousin’s spare bedroom? So what if she’s working double shifts at the Hay Burger? She’s got a plan, a plan that starts with the expensive items that mysteriously appear on the second-hoof store’s shelves on a very special day of the month.

A season one story.

Classification: Top Secret

White Clover,

Given the new writings included in the addendum to the provided journal transcription, I’ve elected to continue our investigation through conversing with whoever, or whatever, is on the other side of it. They claim to be Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's personal student. I’d like to request that Princess Celestia is not informed of this possibility until we can verify their identity.

As such, from this day forward I will be sending daily reports before sundown with transcription of our conversations, along with any thoughts I have. Included with these documents is a formal request of personnel transfer for Doctor Blue Sky to my team in order to assist with any psychological evaluations related to the writer of the journal. His team will continue to support evaluations of personnel working the case.

Special thanks to FloydienSlip, Petrichord, and KorenCZ11 for their help with feedback.

[Can be read as a stand-alone]

Life is full of challenges.

Pinkie Pie knows this more than most ponies ever will. It is for this reason that she continues to try to help bring a smile to everyone she comes across. But when her newest friend Jesse, a troubled old man from another world, doesn't want her visits, doesn't want to smile, and just wants to be left alone, she's ashamed to realize that she's not sure it's even worth the effort anymore.

Twilight has been writing a book for a few weeks, about her friends and all of their adventures. The only problem is she can't seem to end it.

Expanded from my entry for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting group's prompt "A Worthy End".

Special thanks to Moonshot, Syke Jr and Zontan for some proofreading and comments during the contest.

With Celestia and Luna retired, Princess Twilight Sparkle thought it would be a lovely idea to invite them to Hearth's Warming Helper with her friends. Of course she had to end up with Celestia the first time. How can she manage to find the right gift to thank her for so many years of tutelage and guidance? Discord has a simple answer: Time Heist.

Created for the 2019 Jinglemas event as a gift for Unified Dreams who wanted a story with Twilight Sparkle and Discord. I hope they enjoy it.

Sandbar has invited all of his friends from the School of Friendship for a get-together before Nightmare Night. To get into the spirit of the season and learn a bit about each other's races, he decides that they should all share scary stories from their cultures.

Ocellus thinks they seem sort of similar.

Thanks to Petrichord for help with some proofreading and brainstorming.

This story is a sequel to Undead Robot Bug Crusaders

(Same AU as URBC, but drastically different time period and story tone.)

Long ago, when the world was first created, the great Queen of Ponykind crafted seven tribes in her image, each with an assigned duty to perform, and unique magic to aid them.

Today, there are only three, and a hoofful of what might be regarded as half breeds.

But then, what happened to the other four tribes?

The events prior to the great unification of Hearth's Warming are unclear, and solid evidence has proven difficult to find. But one thing has persisted through out the countless ages that may hold the answers: A series of legends recounting the fates of the lost pony tribes.

Cover art by someone close to me IRL.

When Princesses Celestia and Luna visit a public art gallery, they come upon a painting of Celestia, banished to the moon. They react to this in the only reasonable way: artistic criticism and analysis.

Princess Celestia tires of constantly being surrounded by decorum, deference, and formality, and decides to take a day off from being Princess. But visiting Ponyville incognito is harder than she expects. Will she be able to fit in and make friends without blowing her cover?
