What if you could get anything you wished for? Well, you'll never find out now.

Who leaves these genies lying around anyway?

Written for the Most Dangerous Game Contest, mostly to toy around with the 2nd person perspective prompt.

(Dark tag added due to minor themes and language that will likely pop up from time to time, may remove in the future if needed) (Removed Dark Tag for the time being, if/when such themes come up I will re-apply it)

Takes place on modern day Earth.

Fifty years after the portal between Equestria and Earth opened, humans and ponies have managed to merge their two cultures together, letting each species live among one another and, in some cases, form strong relationships. Thanks to the combined efforts of pony magic and human science, these families have given birth to children. In more recent years, pony/human hybrids, dubbed “anthros”, have started becoming more of a common sight in some regions, but still a rare sight in others. Along with their rarity, it has not been uncommon for Anthros to suffer from hate and discrimination from less welcoming members of the communities.

Despite this, many of the Anthros have managed to overcome the discrimination they’ve face and go on to become more successful in life in their still rather young lives.

Melody, a young thestral anthro, has just been accepted into Aurora Academy, the largest multi-species school in the country. Now she has to deal with balancing classes, friends, hobbies, and trying to deal with her roommate.

Flat teeth or fangs? Velvety smooth coat or firm carapace? Mane or headfin?

Thorax frets over which face he wishes to show the crystal ponies his age. Fortunately, there's somepony willing to offer a word or two of comfort and support, as well as teach him a life lesson that will stick with him forever.

Specifically, how to confess to the mare of her dreams when she so happened to be her stunningly beautiful mare-in-waiting.

This story is a sequel to The Face I'll Wear

Dear Small Pony Book,

Hello. My name is Thorax. I am a changeling formerly of the Badlands Hive, ruled by the terrible Queen Chrysalis. Nowadays, I am fortunate to call the Crystal Empire home, and their Royal Family my friends.

Since I'm rather new to living in pony society—without orders to infiltrate, of course—my new friends have been doing their very best to help me get acclimated to this strange, alien way of life. To this end, Princess Cadence has instructed me to tell you of my experiences so that we might use this as time to reflect together. However, I do find it strange. How am I to discuss my day to day interactions with a book? Especially one without a name? You can't not have a name, that would just be rude. So, I will just have to figure one out for you.

I'm not sure why Cadence is laughing at that, or why Shining Armor is groaning. This is a very serious issue.

These ponies are strange. But I don't think I'd have them any other way.

A little thing for me to fiddle with when I'm bored. Updates will likely be sporadic. Tagged as a prequel/sequel to The Face I'll Wear because it will explore some of the same themes and will show events before and after the story.

During Lesson Zero, Spike warned Celestia of Twilight's impending breakdown. What if Spike did this during the course of many episodes, with Celestia valuing his input?

Sometimes, however, it backfires on the both of them, as in the case of A Canterlot Wedding. Afterwards, Celestia has a heartfelt chat with Spike.

First two chapters are letters being traded back and forth with one actual scene. Family Celestia and Spike, Momlestia. Cover art by JAEneth, used with permission.

Day 2 of my Self-Imposed 28 Fics in 28 Days Challenge

Flash Sentry is not the most attentive student in Canterlot High. He is not the smartest or the fastest or the most assertive. He is not a lot of things, but he does try to be a good boyfriend, and an even more normal teenager.

But one fateful day he becomes the only person on Earth to have a talking pony in his closet. A pony only he can see. A pony that is incredibly, stupendously annoying.

The incredibly dangerous, stupendously powerful things that followed him to Flash's world, though... those are another matter entirely.

This story is a sequel to Bad Decisions Make Better Stories

Sunset Shimmer's class at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is having a reunion, and naturally she is a tad surprised to find out just exactly what they've been up to since the last time she saw them. Especially after what happened during their *ahem* last class gathering.

And this time at least, everything is definitely not her fault.

Oh, dear.

Rated Teen and Sex for mentions of egregious sexual irresponsibility, very mild pony bad language, and Princess Cadance. No actual sex. Also has minor Sunlight shipping. I'm terribly sorry, I can't help it.

Contains spoilers for the the Season 6 finale and the prequel story, but can be enjoyed without having seen either. Though little bits here and here may not make sense.

PrincessColumbia has written an unofficial sequel to this story!

Spike is developing feelings for a certain unicorn who has white fur, blue eyes, and is involved in the fashion industry. That's right, it's Fancy Pants! He's just so nice and kind and... Handsome... It's been complicated, to say the least. Spike has never quite felt like this before, and the struggle to deal with these emotions is getting more difficult as time goes on. On a whim, he decides to have a heart to heart with Fancy Pants and try to get some answers.

This story is a sequel to Brushed Away

Despite being one of the few Gryphons living in the land of Equestria, Troius Clawston couldn't be happier with how his life has been. Along with having good friends and a stable job in Weather Patrol, Troy is happiest about his life for one reason: Canvas, the Earth Pony artist that he saved and befriended, who grew to become so much more.
However, before the two can begin their lives together, Troy has to overcome a new challenge in his life. Something he never thought he would have to face until now...

Telling his family.

Because of strong Gryphon values which look down on alternative relationships, how will Troy's family react when they discover he's not only with someone of a different species, but of the same gender? As traditions clash with taboos, how will the Gryphon handle telling his brothers and parents, while still staying with the stallion he cares about? Can he keep everyone together, or will family bonds break under pressure?
