It was the evening of Hearth's Warming. Stallions hurried home from work to celebrate with their families, mothers were busy buying last-minute gifts for their daughters and sons and little foals were sitting in front of the chimney, waiting for presents and a festive dinner.
As the sun begins to set and it grows darker and darker on the streets, only few ponies remained outside.
One of these ponies was a little filly. Even though it was cold and even though nopony stopped for her, she abided the frost and the darkness.
For all she wanted was to sell her matches. This is the story of.....

A ponification of H.C. Andersen's work "The Little Match-Girl", staying true to the original story's style and spelling, with a few expansions and additions and a slightly altered ending to present it in a new light.

Three sets of sisters—one from Ponyville, one from Cloudsdale, one from Canterlot—all make the trek to Sweet Apple Acres for the yearly Sisterhooves Social. They’re all expecting a good time, in their own way, but none of them expect how much the Social will mean to them—or to Equestria as a whole.

Yet another Season 1 AU—I’ll let you figure out the changes for yourself this time. :)

Some mild language, but I think it's mild enough to qualify for the "Everyone" rating.

This story is a sequel to Princess Flurry Heart Versus the Mud Monsters

The Crystal Cotillion. Hobnobbing aristocrats, snooty nobles, and the upper crust of the upper crust. This strange and unfamiliar battlefield is where Flurry Heart finds herself fighting a war that she doesn't understand. Thankfully, she is not alone and there are allies who will come to her aid.

A crazed Vizard, Professor Egghead, and a perverted earth pony filly: these three are her only hope, her only chance at being free. Her enemies are many, including most of the aristocrats in attendance (whose views on society are one-thousand years out of date) and her younger sister, bratty little Princess Goody Fourshoes.

An entry in the Weedverse.

“Do you have any last words?”
“Father please! I’ve been framed! Please listen to your daughter”
“You were never my daughter” Shining said as he stared at Flurry with his usually cold glare.
Skyla suddenly barges in shouting, “Father wait!”

You might be wondering what is going on here. Who am I? What did I do? Well, we have to rewind a bit in order to get the story. This is my story.

This story is a sequel to The Golden Trail

When a daddy Unicorn and a mommy Alicorn get together and love each other very much, they get a rambunctious little Flurry Heart. When a daddy Siren and a mommy Windigo get together and love each other very much they get...a very lonely creature. But maybe Flurry can change that.

How bad do things have to be to resort to something as dangerous as time travel?

For Twilight, the line is an apocalypse. A world of fear and despair forged by years of failures. Years where she got nowhere. She doesn't know what caused it, or how to stop it. She doesn't even know where to look.

None of that matters anymore, though.

She's out of time.

When Twilight and Spike are foalsitting Flurry, she finally learns to say something new. Wooray! Right? No, probably not.
With chaos, drama and cute little Flurry, Twilight has a lot on her hooves now.

Ladybugs. Cute, harmless, helpful for protecting crops.

And a source of dread for the Princess of Friendship, all thanks to her brother’s foalhood pranks and hoaxes.

Or is that all there is to it?

Content Warning: Sleep deprived ravings of a madman

Tony Stark considers himself a fairly open-minded guy, given the whole Iron Man thing and all. There's nothing that can't be explained away by science.

...Even a very tiny lavender unicorn who ended up in his lab. Maybe. Who seems intent on calling him dad. Well, at least he can say to himself he won't have to find a gift for Pepper this year. Now, explaining this one to SHIELD, on the other hand, not to mention getting over his crippling parental anxiety issues? Yikes. ...somehow, facing Ivan Vanko again sounds more appealing.
