This story is a sequel to Yona gets to smash!

But as always, can be read without reading previous entries as it is a simultaneous, separate story.

Hearing recent rumors about Changelings on Gryphus, Thorax decides to send an expedition in order to see if there is any truth in them. He hopes that finding another Hive, and teaching them to share love instead of stealing it, can help the changeling races become more known and accepted in the wider world. And who better to join such mission then Ocellus, who already proved herself in befriending others?

However, the expedition quickly turns into a disaster. Barely escaping with her life, Ocellus is stranded, a stranger in a strange land, alone and scared. Forced into sudden responsibility that she never asked for, the Student of Friendship will find in herself strength and courage she never knew she had, while Pharynx and others scramble for any way to rescue her.

But as she and her friends do their best to spread harmony and peace over the world, the ancient evil stirs...

As usual, references to Equestria at War are present, but knowledge of EaW is not required at all to enjoy the story.

Twilight is in training to become a super-pony, a hero of the night. And wants Spike to join her.

This was a writing prompt for "Not safe for work", "clop", and "Secret Spot". This story satisfies all of these. G/Tv-Y7 rated.

To save Scootaloo from her own mind, Spike must discover what he has in common with her.

They'd both prefer to figure it out before the answer becomes "everything".

Written for the 2022 Jinglemas event as a gift for The Iguana Man.

This story is complete except for some editing. A new chapter will be published each day (...or every other day, disability sucks) until it is finished.

This story is a sequel to Silverstream gets kidnapped

Technically a sequel, but happens simultaneously with the previous story and does not require reading it or any other entries in the series.

Returning home for a summer break, Yona finds Yakyakistan on the brink of a civil war. While Prince Rutherford wants to open his country to the world and ally with ponies, a group of traditionalist Yaks under Prince Bradford want to return to the traditional isolationism.

As the threat of War of Two Brothers looms over Yakyakistan, Yona finds herself surprised by the stubborn stupidity of some of the yaks she used to look up to. The Student of Friendship faces her greatest challenge at the doorstep of her home, but she has no doubts – she is Yona, and Yona is the best! She will stop this stupid war before it starts!

Prince Rutherford could already feel the incoming headache.

As usual, minor Equestria at War references in names and locations. Knowledge of EaW not required at all to enjoy the story.

Trixie has been down on her luck since "the incident" in Ponyville about half a year ago. After being shown up by the upstart Twilight Sparkle, who stopped the Ursa Minor attack on Ponyville instead of her, she has become the laughingstock of magicians, and her shows have suffered for it. She has barely made ends meet, and it has not been helped by recent events with her family. Now, on Hearth's Warming Eve, she is back in the blasted village and awaiting when she can strike at the most-hated Twilight Sparkle to exact some petty amount of vengeance.

That is if another societal outcast didn't come along and spoil her plans.

Gallus came back home for a summer break. Griffonstone is changing, friendship is slowly growing and with it, comes prosperity. Thanks to him, Gilda and the friends they made here, his home is no longer the worst backwater in central Griffonia. But he's not the only one who noticed this sudden change in Griffonstone, and some griffons have questions...

(Some minor Equestria at War references, like names of countries, but takes place in main MLP canon and no knowledge of EaW is required to read it).

Edit: Featured on the day of publishing, 23.12.2022! My first MLP story ever, and first to be posted on FiMfiction, and an instant featured? Thank you!
(...it's 24.12 (and now 25.12) and it's still in featured? Don't know what to say, thank you everyone!)

And now has a Sequel!

This story is a sequel to Gallus gets interrogated

Everything was splendid. The calm ocean, the warm sun, getting closer to home with every moment... until it wasn't.

Now, Silverstream finds herself entangled with an ancient plot of revenge, planned by a thousand-years old, evil empire worshiping the darkness incarnate. Without her friends and family to ask for help, she has to step up to her role as a Student of Friendship in a place shrouded in darkness.

This is the most serious work in this series. It is still T-rated, and contains nothing you wouldn't see in a PG-13 rated movie. I did my best to show things with caution and do it delicately, but this work contains 'fun' things like discussions of slavery, fascism and racism, including scientific racism. If you for any reason want to avoid reading discussions on that topic, feel free to skip this story - all others in this series are happening at the same time, and this one is not needed to understand the rest.

And as always in my stories, some names and lore are a reference to Equestria at War, but the story happens in main MLP canon and no knowledge of EaW is required.

Spike's a young man who works at the local library. Twilight's the parrot-sized dragon who lives on top of the bookcase in his apartment.

Twilight's made it quite clear that she'd rather not talk about where she came from, so Spike doesn't ask anymore. But when five dimes from Twilight's hoard disappear, Spike and Twilight will have to confront her past in order to save their present and the whole world's future.

This is not an entry in Choices: A Species Swap Contest. It's actually an original short story I had published in a couple places nearly 30 years ago. But since I've been taking some of my pony stories, changing the pony stuff into non-pony stuff, and submitting them to the various SF magazines, I got to thinking: would it be possible to turn a non-pony story into a pony story?

Then I saw some entries for the abovementioned contest being posted and realized that the idea of a "species swap" was just what I was looking for. So let's see if it works!

And now it's got a reading on YouTube by Skijarama!

Twilight the dragon has never really felt at home in the Dragon Lands. Unlike most dragons, she values intelligence, and is seen as a pariah for it. But things change when she comes across a purple pony named Spike, who has come to the dragon lands on a "Friendship Mission."
But he must be in the wrong place. After all, dragons don't do friendship.
