What a foolish man to come here and reach so high.

You thought to love even the sun and that she might, somehow, come to love you. As if she could ever love some sad, misshapen thing.

And you changed yourself, so utterly, so horribly. A useless, broken mockery of what she was.

And now? Now all you have are your memories.

A message I've thought much too much about,
Maybe it'll reach somebody, who can say?
Certainly, I've always been this way,
A patched up, crazy matryoshka

Zippoorwhill's beloved Scoltish Terrier has gone missing! Now it's up to Featherweight to help the frantic filly reclaim her beloved pet.
...And maybe learn a little something about trusting one's friends in the process.

Zippoorwhill/Featherweight friendshipping.

Decades after her ascension, an upsetting revelation brings Twilight Sparkle to distance herself from her old mentor and dive back into what she knows best: research.

Not everypony agrees with the results of her work, however, and conflict becomes inevitable.

Celestia pays Twilight and her friends a visit.

It has been a very long time since she saw them last.

Discord has watched Twilight from afar for as long as he has known her, and now he has written a letter in order to describe how he honestly feels about his one true love.

Spike the dragon. Years ago he was little more than a runty drake. Now, all grown up, he's an anatomical forensics expert working for the government. When he comes back to visit Ponyville and discovers Rarity is in need of help with a troublesome client, the gentle dragon-shaped pony is only too pleased to assist, in the only way he knows how.

Scootaloo's Hearth's Warming Eve went something like this: No presents, no family, and for the first time in as long as she can remember, no friends. Now, just as she thinks she's hit rock bottom, a new door opens up in the form of a new friend named Star Struck, a bat pony she's never seen around Ponyville before. The question is: is this the door Scootaloo wants, or even needs? Or is it just another one to hit her on the flank as she walks out?

Either way, his offer is going to be pretty hard to refuse...

A young filly writes to the newly-crowned Princess Twilight, asking for advice.

She's made one small mistake, though, in assuming Twilight feels qualified to give it...

Twilight Sparkle's Harmony Project is the culmination of her life's work. The only thing left is for everyone to be gathered, so that all of Equestria can join together in Harmony.

But now that success is staring her in the face, Twilight begins to have doubts. Fortunately, she has a friend like Discord, who is only too happy to lend a paw to a friend in need...
