Rarity and Rainbow Dash aren't exactly close. After all, they're very different ponies with very little in common. Or so Rainbow Dash thought.

A trip to Canterlot reveals that Rarity isn't exactly the pony that Dash thinks she is.

Cheerilee is somewhat a mystery to Ponyville's resident changeling, Bombshell. As he has spent his time hidden away, being extra careful ever since the wedding, he has been focusing on her. Why? Because she is the one pony completely universally loved in Ponyville. So he finally goes for the big one.

What could possibly go wrong?

It was the best thing to happen to you since you graduated. Your dreams started being visited by the most beautiful girl you've ever seen. She told you her name's Twilight and that she just wants to be with you.

You were skeptical at first, who wouldn't be? But the dreams got better with each time you went in. You quickly got a prescription for sleeping pills to help you stay in bed longer. The unfortunate side-effect is that you now have to "wake yourself up" in the dream by bashing your head in.

But it's all worth it to get to stay with Twilight. She's the light of your dull life, even if you do have friends to hang out with and a job to go to. How could anything go wrong with a love like this?

(Was meant to be my Halloween story, but I got jumped with exams and some personal stuff, so here it is now)

A short story in which You helps Twilight lose her ever-grammatical mind.

Massive thanks to Level Dasher for stepping in and proofreading/editing! He pointed out a ton of little (and not-so-little) details that I missed, and I feel his efforts really put a coat of polish on the story.

Three weeks after the events of Rainbow Rocks, the sirens are desperate. Without their hearts—the jewels that hold their magic—they have no power. They can't sing, can't manipulate people, and worst of all, can't feed. Their only hope is to restore their hearts, and they need to do it soon, before all three of them starve.

The problem is, they're not sure how to fix the hearts. All they've managed to figure out is that they'll need magic to do it, and magic is exactly what they don't have. Scared, starving, and completely out of options, the sirens turn to the last people who would ever want to help them, and the only ones who actually can: the Rainbooms.

Being a princess is stressful, but your peers and friends can certainly help.

That was what Twilight had in mind when she invited Luna over for tea one afternoon. A relaxing, friendly meeting between two fellow princesses where they can commiserate and share their experiences. An invitation to a stronger friendship than they had before, offered to a pony displaced in time.

What she got was an uncomfortable assertion about her relationship with her number one assistant, Spike. One that she is having difficulty refuting.

With the defeat of the sirens and her subsequent acceptance at school, Sunset Shimmer had thought her life had made a turn for the better.

She thought it would be easy to simply forget the Dazzlings.

However, a run-in with Sonata Dusk brings in another perspective on the whole Battle of the Bands episode, one Sunset had never really stopped to contemplate.

After all, it takes one monster to understand another...
Right?

An argument and a car crash leave one of the sirens--Adagio, Sonata, and Aria--dead. They know this because Death itself has shown up to chat with them and to ensnare Adagio into a game of wits with the very lives of her companions at stake. Adagio doesn't want anyone to die, but she's not so happy with the way they've been arguing so much lately either...

An EQG story. Absolutely no connection to The Years of Ar and S.

Home from school, with nothing worth watching on the TV and no homework, Trixie heads for the kitchen to make a peanut butter and chocolate masterpiece.
