This story is a sequel to S.P.A.R.K.S.

S.P.A.R.K.S. was only the beginning. Once she’d gotten the hang of creating artificial intelligence, Twilight created a new synthetic pony to help her in her endeavors, R.A.M. However, a sinister glitch lurks beneath the new arrival’s programming, one that threatens all of Equestria.

Twilight is desperate for love—and that desperation dooms her chances for it.

Hence The Love Protocols. Rules set in place to stop her feelings from making a mistake. Desperate enough to nearly date anyone, she needs the rules in place from getting with the wrong pony—or messing things up with the right one. 

Spike assures Twilight she's not so shallow and that, given dating experience, her tastes would narrow. Yet she requests his aid in finding love at a bar. 

How will our wingman fare in helping Twilight find somepony to love?

When Twilight first came to Ponyville, Pinkie-Pie knew that there would be yet another awesomtasicular friend for her to meet; but she never expected to find love. Nope, not just the Hearts-and Hooves Day love; but real, honest and genuine love. This makes Pinkie-Pie VERY happy.

Well, except for the fact she found out that Spike was in love with Rarity... and it’s the only thing that makes her very unhappy... and the fact that she rarely brings it up in order to be strong to her friends...

Soarin asks to meet Rarity’s parents – naturally, Rarity would rather die.

And as the horrid day continues on its merry way, you'll find that there are no good guys here; just lessons to unlearn and battles to choose.

Slight crack, so the characters do come with a grain of salt.

_{(Also you'll notice I had to edit the coverart because Soarinxanypony is harder to find than I initially thought. Original art is linked)}

Rarity has had some tough luck at love. Blueblood, Trenderhoof... Now that she's been set up on a blind date by Rainbow Dash, all she hopes for is that it won't end in utter embarrassment.

She didn't account for having already impacted their life in a major way.

Rated Teen for Horse Romance. Coverart by myself.

In which Rarity believes in true love and Applejack thinks Rarity's crazy if she thinks she has a chance with her cousin.

Everyone else in the story are just there for plot convenience.

Cover art background slightly edited in order to not mislead, but sourced nonetheless. I can't draw, I can barely write.

Discord gets surprised by a mysterious letter, inviting him once again to the Gala. Oh course he's honored to get an invitation but what surprises him more is that Luna asks him to dance. Discord accepts, knowing just how wild she can be. If only Celestia could see them now. Oh wait she was watching. He was going to have fun...

Based on the song: "Shut up and dance with me."

A story between a foul-mouthed, runaway griffon and a friendly dragon who bond in the stormy mountains.

An old story request I finally had the time to finish writing for a friend. I hope this was worth the wait...because YOU asked for this. Thank you for commissioning me BTW!

Sandbar and Gallus have been dating for a while, Smolder and Ocellus too. Only they know about each other's relationships. Of course, they would tell Silverstream and Yona, but Silver has a bit of a habit of accidentally revealing secrets and Yona has the tendency to blurt things out. Then, all that changes when a couple of mares find out. Now, the four friends must decide how to come out to their friends, families, and everyone in-between.

Warning: contains gayness, cuddles, and M/M and W/W. If you are not comfortable with these things don't read on.

Spike and Gabby have been dating for a few weeks, and everything is great! In their short time together, they’ve found that they click on so many more levels than they did as friends. There is never an awkward moment between them, and now that they’re on the third date, it’s time to take it to the next level: The kiss. 

The mere thought of it fills Spike with nerves, but not of the excited kind. Instead of anticipation, all he feels is dread. He wants to kiss her. He needs to kiss her. There’s just one little problem.

He doesn’t know how to kiss a beak.

Thanks to Jack of a Few Trades for editing and helping round out the ideas of this story.

Also, thanks to Not Enough Coffee for prereading this and giving his always awesome feedback.
