One day, he gave her a rose, and it was very beautiful.

Fiddlesticks visits Applejack in the middle of winter to gather seeds for the spring planting. While there, she meets Octavia, who teaches this shy country pony that a lack of formal training doesn't mean that she can't use her music to make others happy.

This story is a sequel to He Gave Her A Rose

Caramel supposes he always loved Roseluck, the feelings just didn't show up until late.

And Roseluck's got certain qualities that make it... rather difficult for her to return the love to him.

Once upon a time, there was a little purple pony.

And for Spike, still so young despite centuries of age, it was all he saw sometimes in his memories.

That little purple pony, nose deep in a book with a cup of tea beside her.

So why did nopony else see her the same way?

A story for my other son. Be brave. And remember the important things.

There comes a time when the light must go out; but how do you know if you've burned brightly enough?

"It's called 'Shh'," said Fluttershy. "It's a game about who can be quiet the longest. Sound fun? I'm the world champion."

Fluttershy is not a pony who makes things up. She really is the world champion of "Shh," or The Quiet Game. And now it's time for her to defend her crown, with Twilight Sparkle and Rarity along for the ride.

It's hard saying goodbye to your home of many years.

Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

Sweetie Belle is compelled to learn magic after Rarity promises to teach her the finer art of dressmaking, but only once the young filly has learned the basics of magic. However, learning magic comes with its own set of complications and bears an unforeseen gift that will change Sweetie Belle's life forever.

Here's a one-shot sequel that takes place four days after Scion of Chaos: An Emerald Treasure

And this is a Multi-chapter sequel that takes place 5 years after the events of SoC and AET: A Heart of Change

Here's a poem that's based around the character Red Timber. (Not necessary to read for the comprehension of the storyline): Red Timber

Scootaloo and Princess Celestia get married and have an adventure inside Giant Twilight Sparkle's gall bladder.

Now with a reading by AShadowofCygnus

I'm so, so sorry. Blueshift made me do it.

When one of the CDA's human agents stops an incursion, they're given the reward of time. Typically, they have two hours in Equestria to do whatever they like, within the limits of what the Princesses will allow. Some hike through the mountains. Others quietly sit by pristine rivers so they can look at what they're trying to defend.

On a warm spring night, Melissa has her two hours, and she wants to use the time for connecting with a friend.

The friend wants something more.

(Follows up on the original, which should be read first. Two other more optional followups exist.)

Now has a TVTropes page and character sheet. New edits welcome.

Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.
