There's a crime wave gripping the sleepy town of Apple-Morepone, and nopony on the City Watch seems to care. Corporal "Rainbow" M. Dash naps through her patrols, her partner Dobby is an infamous kleptomaniac, Captain Rhymes is a drunkard, and the entire Watch is a group of burnt-out misfits.

They're about to meet a batpony (adopted) by the name of Carrot, visiting town to return an overdue library book.

And none of their lives will ever be the same.

A crossover/homage to the "City Watch" books of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, written to be readable without any familiarity with the series (though they're excellent, and if you do read them you'll catch my Pratchett in-jokes).

Winner of Aragon's "Comedy Is Serious Business" Contest! "I was quoting this offline for days, forgetting where I was remembering the lines from. … This story made me legitimately jealous, both of its cleverness and of its funniness." –Contest judge MrNumbers

Rated ★★★★★ by Louder Yay! "The best comedy I've read in a long time."

"Highly Recommended" by Super Trampoline! (Video review here @ 09:17) "It's 13,000 words long, but it doesn't feel long, because so much fun stuff is happening."

Reviewed by Ghost Mike! "It features meticulously laboured-over prose, rhyming with actual metre for Zecora, perfectly-timed jokes and reveals that are often outrageous, a sneakily clever plot and character investment that works its magic throughout ... This is a phenomenally executed piece of work."

Thank you to Themaskedferret and Caliaponia for prereading, and GaPJaxie for motivation/inspiration!

When Big McIntosh comes by Carousel Boutique acting strangely, Rarity doesn't understand why he's acting even shyer than usual. But when he asks her to fix an old, ragged doll for him, it becomes clear that there's more going on than Mac will admit. Even if he were more talkative than usual.

Big Mac has always been hard to read. But it'll be even worse when he puts effort into it and makes sure no one finds out about his little stuffed friend—or the real reasons why he feels the need to hide her.

Luna has a strange preference for batponies in her Royal Guard. Unfortunately, they're a pretty rare species, and not all of them are pleased with the constant nagging for them to join the military life.

(Terrible cover art by me)

Fluttershy finds a dead nuthatch outside her home. She is a very silly pony.

Based on a true story.

Now with a reading by Illya Leonov and Miss Shellah!

This story is a sequel to Elements of Unity: Inspiration

Captain Lilly Feathers is young mare hoof-picked by Celestia to represent the pegasus tribe on her secret counsel known as Unity, her title; Motivation.

Follow Lilly as she comes to terms with herself, and then uses her gifts and status to lead the descendants of the Children Of The Night into an era of peace, and take their rightful place as citizens of Equestria.

(Note; The Prequel is a companion story about Motivation's Triplet.)

Special thanks to Shadowwolf101 for proofreading. And my two talented cover artists Crystal Melody, and Atlantean.

My name is Rachel. Or at least it was. A bad decision brought me to the brink of death. I was "rescued" from that fate by some self-appointed "Spirit of Chaos." Or maybe he really was the devil, I don't know. He promised me a second chance but didn't tell me it would be in the body of a cutesy pony in a world which makes no sense. Worse, I think I've been set up, and something bigger is going on ...

(Rated teen for language and non-gory violence)

After a horrible accident, Rainbow Dash is put into a coma, and her friends struggle to come to terms with the loss, the emotions that threaten to overwhelm them, and the question lurking at the back of everyone's mind:
Could it be better to let go?

He got to meet the creator of Ponyfinder and score some books and a few figures to go with. Which should he paint first? He settled on a pegasus and gets out his paints. This is gonna be good.

Hot button themes present: HiE, Ponified

A simple, run-of-the-mill field trip. Cheerilee had been there last year (and the year before that), so bored she could fall asleep... but knowing it was her students first time was enough to perpetuate her through the trip and not just through the motions. Now that it's wrapping up...

What happens when a couple of Cheerilee's students are in trouble and she's forced to make a tough decision?

Under Teen for dark themes and mild violence.

In the adventure in which Lily Longsocks received her super strength she met a stallion sized, red dragon who, for some reason unknown to her, hated ponies. While they parted on relatively good terms she believed that she would never see him again. After all he hated ponies and wanted to stay away from them and Lily had no reason to travel back into the Everfree forest. This, however, is not the case. He needs her help and is willing to venture into pony territory for it. What begins as a single dragon seeking help despite his hatred of ponies may lead to reconciliation between ponies and Everfree Forest dragons... or not. Time will tell.
Third in the How Lily got her creepy super strength series. While the second story is not as important to this plot you may want to read the first story in order to understand this one better.
