Due to a typo on her permit to build a new barn, and the meddling of a recalcitrant bureaucrat, Applejack is stuck running a bar, at least until Mayor Mare gets back to town. So sit down and have a drink in Ponyville's least likely watering hole!

From our teachings, we knew of the afterlife on several levels—the heaven of Elysium, the cleansing purgatory some called Katharismóu, and the hell known as Tartarus. Of these, only Tartarus can be reached by the living. And those who wander close enough, even the best of ponies, can easily be dragged in if the Pull is too great.

I was one of the curious ones. And now, for my transgressions, I remain trapped here.

I've discovered that as a living one dragged in, there is a way that I can leave, but it might as well lead to my death—for I would have to become Death in order to free myself.

(1st-person Twilight-centric)

After becoming an alicorn princess, Twilight receives a new pair of wings. Celestia and Luna comfort her in their own way before her coronation. What they should've done was teach her how to hide her arousal.

This story was written in the midst of the "alicorn Twilight" hysteria which permeated the brony fandom in the weeks leading up to the season three finale.

"Will Her Majesty, Princess Luna of Equestria, please rise, approach, and address the bench? The Court would like you to issue a statement on your actions of one millennium ago. This is now on the record and you now have the floor, Your Highness."

[One-Shot]

Celestia: a filly of twelve. A cynical, hungry pauper, with a young sister to protect and feed.

But the food has run out. Winter has gripped the land for too long, and now the pair face starvation.

The cynic in Celestia knows she can't move the sun. But the child in her wonders... and so she tries.

(Inspired by the Donovan song of the same name.)

(Now with a dramatic reading here, by Crafty Arts, and here, by KeyframeProductions.)

(Now with a Spanish translation here.)

A lost princess, blessed with a magic mane that glows when she sings.

A daring thief who seems to care only for his own gain.

A sorceress who attempts to keep the young princess in a tower to hold onto her gift of eternal youth.

And an adventure which promises to change their lives forever.

A pegasus woke in the woods. He was lost, injured, and had only the vaguest of dreams for memories; nightmares of a Canterlot engulfed in shadow and flame, of an invading swarm lead by one great and terrible dark figure. As he begins a new life, the dreams continue to taunt him. Will he ever find out who he was? And if he does, can he -- and his newfound friends -- accept what he finds?

That love can be a painful thing is something we both know all too well, sister. But it does not give you the right to throw your happiness away for mine...

I will not ask for your thanks for what I do now. I only ask for your forgiveness, and perhaps a promise to let yourself be happy.

Years ago, Scootaloo lost her parents, her family, everyone she knew and loved.

But those ponies who assume she's an orphan wouldn't be entirely correct. She has a mother. An Other Mother who lost her daughter several years earlier. Who cares for Scootaloo, comforts her, gives her anything she could ever want.

A mother who has buttons for eyes.

Set after the events of the book/movie Coraline.

Scar, having somehow escaped death, finds himself unharmed and in Equestria among a bed of strange looking flowers within a strange looking forest, where a rather regrettable and magical mishap occurs...

But that was to be the least of his worries.

Being stuck in a strange new world comes at a price and he can only hope something... or somepony can change him back to normal.

(One-shot randomness I had to get out of my head).
