Celestia wants Twilight and her friends to loosen up a little bit around her. Luna just wants to try the hard cider. During a surprise visit to Sweet Apple Acres at the tail end of cider season, Princess Luna has just a bit too much to drink, and when she makes a rather inappropriate joke, Twilight comes to the very uncomfortable realization that she has never seen Celestia excuse herself to use the restroom.

New in town, Twilight joins a club with Rainbow Dash and Applejack. In their great search to discover who they are the newly founded Cutie Mark Crusaders have many strange adventures. From bullies to babysitting, pets to parties, hang gliding to hanging out, grand schemes to groundings these three will do anything to get their cutie marks. No matter what the risks are.

A story in the universe of Age Swap

Ever since Fluttershy was a little filly, she's always been enchanted with the tale of Cinderella, a normal pony who was saved by her fairy godmare. But what happens when she cracks open an enchanted copy of the book in Twilights library?

(I'm not sure if this story has been done before, but my little sister inspired me to write it. The entire cast was chosen by her.)

Rarity doesn't like dirt, she doesn't like dust. Grime and filth are a big no-no. And when it comes to mud, Rarity is usually seen moving at a full gallop in the opposite direction. So just how did she get herself into that muddy pit during the Sisterhooves Social?

Prereading credits go to GhostOfHeraclitus, Bradel, Toafan, and "Nettle".

The Cutie Mark Crusaders find themselves in the Holy Land.

Equestria has been obliterated by war, the only spoils for the survivors are loss, despair and hopelessness. But in the barren wasteland, in the center of all the destruction, a single earth pony attempts to reverse the damage and restore hope... one tree at a time.

Can one markless earth pony succeed where armies and alicorns have failed? One pegasus war veteran shall find out and come to realize the greatest acts of change do not require epic magic or great power, but passion, dedication and generosity.

Ponified version of the classic story: The man who planted trees.

==Originally written Fall 2011== Equestria Daily Post==
After a long day of ruling Equestria, the Royal Sisters need a chance to unwind. Luna's solution is a few glasses of her once famous Moonshine, a drink distilled from moonlight. Celestia has been sober for a thousand years, but the temptation to have "just one" glass proves too great. Yet, when that one glass turns into several, it's Twilight who will have to deal with the princesses when they’re drunk off their flanks.

Twilight reads a book about literature and, analysing her world, decides that everything she does is planned by someone other than her.

She does not take it very well.

Rated Everyone for adult humour.

now with a reading

This is a story of how the grand spirits of Tyranny and Pride fought in ages long past, battling over the future of the world 'neath stars newly born on a nameless field in the distant north. It is a story of blank skies, of strange endeavors, and of things prehistoric. At least, that's how it starts.

The Crystal Empire makes Equestria look young, and Twilight Sparkle is about to find out just how old Celestia really is.
