After receiving an urgent letter from Princess Celestia concerning a grave danger to Equestria, Twilight Sparkle undergoes a crisis of faith. Can she perform a grim task for her beloved mentor, even if it means sacrificing all that she cares about?

Based on a story prompt by TraleRayne. Extra special thanks to Dream of Ponies and Noble Jury.

Scootaloo was alone. She had been for her whole life, but even a rejection from her idol, Rainbow Dash, hurt so much.

Now, will she stay alone? Or will everybody's favorite DJ pony give her the love and care she deserves?

And... this is what happens when you spend a whole day reading stories about two of your favorite characters.
And why do I always have to write sad things? Oh well. Enjoy! : )

A pianist from Earth is home on a lonely Saturday, getting ready to enjoy his weekend, when he is suddenly summoned to Equestria - only to find himself being held captive by The Great and Powerful Trixie, who plans to use him as a piano-playing slave in her show.

If you came here looking for the sequel, 'The Piano Man: Act II', it can be found here.

There was a question... and Spike wanted the answer. The curiosity of it was gnawing at his little dragon brain like gerbils in a vat of candy corn. In desperation, he turns to Cadence for help, and she's more than happy to assist.

After all, it's just a simple question. What's the worst that could happen?

(Takes place prior to Season 1. Rated for scattered innuendo.)

Fluttershy has tea with Jesus and absolutely nothing objectionable happens.

Strange discoveries. Mysterious twitching. The curious feeling of being watched. And a sudden urge to sing. Something's happening to Applejack, and no matter how often she laughs, this is no laughing matter!

This is a 'what-if' story? As in, 'What if they didn't forgive Spike for what he did?'. That's why everyone is OOC.

Spike's rampage through Ponyville has left the town in ruins, and made the townsponies realise how dangerous he will become as he grows up. Even Twilight and the other Elements are distant. They send him away while they repair the damage he caused.

With everypony seemingly against him, Spike feels alone. But he soon finds an ally in a certain mailmare — somepony who knows all too well what it feels like to be in everypony's bad books.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

I got the idea to write this from someone I am following on Twitter. They asked 'How is it even possible to ship Spike and Derpy?'. To which I thought 'Challenge Accepted'. Of course, they didn't say what kind of 'ship' it had to be. So why not friendship?

I've tried my best with this, I really have. But bearing in mind that the characters have never even interacted in the show, it was hard to write. However, I did my best, and now leave it to you, the reader, to decide how good it is.

Oh, and just because Derpy is clumsy... that doesn't mean she's not smart.

Friendship lasts forever.

Right?

Three years ago, Gilda and Rainbow Dash became fast friends at Junior Speedsters' Flight Camp. Time took its toll, though, and the pair drifted apart.

When Gilda tries to reconnect with her not-so-long lost friend, she'll discover that things can change a pony after three years: a new home, new job, and new friends.

This story continues in Summer Days

It's a bright sunny day in Ponyville. Ponies talk, ponies laugh, and then there's the huge black death sphere that sucks up all matter in its path.

Twilight Sparkle writes a story about her self-insert OC character who writes stories about her.
