Laughing Stock is a standup comedian from Canterlot who is having a difficult time with life as of late. He hops on a train to Ponyville in hopes that small town life will help him get a better perspective on things. During the journey, he meets a mare who offers to help him find what he is looking for and some things that he doesn't expect to find. During his trip, he realizes that while accomplishing your dreams is a fantastic feat, having nopony to share them with makes life's long journey pointless.

When sorting through a horde of ancient artefacts Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash accidentally activate the magical powers of a pair of bracelets which force the wearers to be in constant physical contact with one another. Stuck together until Twilight manages to find a way to remove the bracelets, the shy and timid pegasus must cope with re-emerging feelings, while the athletic and rash pegasus must cope with the various antics of a bunny rabbit out to get her.

Now with a fan-made TV Tropes page created and maintained by Zyr1987 because readers of this story consider this to be that awesome.

Yet another sunny day blessed Ponyville, with Twilight Sparkle in the middle of another study session. She was in the middle of comprehending the consequences of repeated teleportation when Fluttershy knocked on her door. Answering the door, what Twilight saw shocked her; Fluttershy was flustered, panicked, saying something about the Everfree Forest. Twilight decides to investigate after preparing herself, but could possibly be out there that would bring Fluttershy to such a state?

What did he ever do to deserve this? All he did was go around and explore the ancient city of Roam. He didn't think that someone was going to hit him with some random spell that turned him into, well, this! And the TARDIS isn't cooperating. Perfect. Just perfect. Maybe someone will believe that the little colt in front of them is actually a 1100 year old Time Lord and help him get back to normal.

This story is a sequel to When the Man Comes Around

The eighteenth story in The Journey of Graves.

As the new year dawns, the top four cadets from Equestria's Royal Military Academy set eyes on enlisting in the elite peacekeeping force known as the marshals. After all, when you're the best in you class, it's obvious you belong with the best, right?

Not exactly. See, it's one thing to do well in school. It's another thing entirely to pass a test concocted by Gunmetal Graves himself. Strap in, cadets. Class is now in session.

This story is a sequel to How to Bore a Commissioner

Twilight's been having a rough week. First she learns that Cadence is leaving and next that Spike has gone missing, leaving him stranded in a dragon's lair with little chance of coming back soon. In an effort to speed things up she accepts training from Shield, who promises to take her on the mission if and only if he's convinced that she will survive. But there's also the fact of having to deal with Shield's other team members, who are arriving at Ponyville in order to celebrate this Commissioner's birthday.

Fortunately for her, Rarity is more than ready to to lend a helping hand. And she'll need it if she wants to convince everyone that her mission to save Spike is important.

College sucks. At least, you think so.

You don't care what anyone says. College is basically an adult kindergarten, one where depressed teachers try to uphold some semblance of order in their classes full of drunk, disorderly, or just plain stupid students (and you use the term 'students' extremely loosely) that are only there because their rich parents want their brain-dead children to have some sort of higher education. Either that or sports scholarships. Goddamn sports scholarships.

When your best friend leaves for greener pastures over in Equestria, you start dreading who will take his place as your roommate. Naturally, it happens to be an Equestrian that takes his place—and you're put in charge of making sure she feels at home.

Second-person perspective. Contains anthropomorphic ponies.

A short story that I will add to when I'm not working on more important stories. Enjoy it for what it is, and try not to look to deep into it.

This story is a sequel to Fireflies

"It was just a simple spell. Actually, no. It wasn't. But no one, not even Celestia herself, could have predicted this outcome. Well... Maybe Celestia could've seen it coming. She's a god, and all that jazz. Now I'm stuck, for some time, in a land that's so much like my own, but still so different. So very different."

Twilight's magical experiments are commonplace enough, but she's refrained from testing on living things for several reasons. When she finds herself with a spell that only works on the living, she's faced with a conundrum. Luckily, she has a cadre of people who'd be willing to volunteer. And, from that cadre, she picks a very significant other. Now, subjected to a spell that does more than he could've predicted, Icarus is forced to see the world in a vastly different light.

Big Mac is not the most outspoken pony in Ponyville. In fact, he rarely speaks at all. All he seems to do is just work on his family's farm day in and day out. Nothing else but his orchards and family seem to matter to him.

Little does anypony know, he is fulfilling the final wish of his departed mother.

To be a simple pony.

At what should have been a routine doctor's visit, Applejack learns that she can never bear foals of her own. After an emotional breakdown, her friends do their best to calm her.

However, as the discussion develops, nopony is prepared for Twilight's revelation: the grand event which brought them together has left a hidden scar within each of them.

Tempers flare, relationships are strained, and the strength of their friendship is tested as each must come to terms with her newfound sterility.
