Throughout the centuries, there have always been heroes. Stallions and mares who would lay down their lives for Celestia, and venture forth into the most wild and untamed vistas to claim that which she desires. The achievements of these heroes, so fearless and admirable, has seldom failed to inspire the love of Celestia.

Written with the amazing KingMoriarty.

Starlight Glimmer and Trixie have learned much about friendship and each other ever since they met, but their latest challenge proves to be the toughest yet. As Princess Twilight and her close friends visit a faraway town to solve a friendship problem, Starlight is tasked with taking care of the Castle of Friendship and resolving any related problems, and Trixie agrees to help out.

Unfortunately, that's the easiest part of the day, and it doesn't take long for them to regret helping out.

(Update: 11/5/2017 - Major shout-out to Rock-Mint-Swirl who was incredibly nice enough to do a fanart for this story, which you can see right here. It contains story spoilers so please read the fanfic first though.)

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have dealt with all kinds of ponies having trouble finding their true calling in life, but none can compare to the special request they receive from Princess Twilight Sparkle herself, or the shock they receive on discovering who it is: Fizzlepop Berrytwist, possibly the most hated and feared pony in generations. Can a pony who's spent most of her life rejecting her true calling possibly find it now? Can the Cutie Mark Crusaders help a pony who almost everypony else in Equestria has rejected?

Movie Spoilers.

Episode tag/companion to "Discordant Harmony". Written in second person for some inexplicable reason. In the course of trying to make sure Fluttershy is impressed by his tea party, Discord discovers some things. Some of them are good things. Some of them are very much not.

A new organisation has emerged over the last few months: one that was originally covert, but has recently begun to offer its services to all of Equestria.

In the mind of a certain pegasus, the reformation of Nightmare Moon sparked the idea of a better alternative to imprisonment , and her work on reintegrating a certain Spirit of Chaos into society pushed her to move forwards with it. It also gave her the tools to accomplish her goal.

Now, months on, that idea has flourished. The organisation has had so much success, in fact, that Celestia herself has passed a new legislation. This will allow the group of reformed, rehabilitated, and rectified creatures running the show to expand their roster, taking on members of the public, whether they be volunteers, or have managed earn their place through veritable villainy.

Celestia is just glad that she can unload some of those pesky miscreants somewhere else for a change.

This story was written around a thread that I made in the Writer's Group, where users voted on five characters to appear in a story together, the five tagged are the ones that received the most votes.

One month, they said. One month completely to themselves. One month of talking to one another, cuddling with one another, going on walks with one another, and living together. One month of sharing breakfast, sharing beds, sharing stories, and sharing sweet talk.

One month, they agreed on, and after the thirty days had gone by... if they were still as madly in love with each other as the day they first kissed... then they would share the joy of their relationship with their friends.

After her first foray into making friends with Trixie, Starlight Glimmer has been more open to the idea of making new friends. Not all meetings work out as expected, but for the most part, things have been going smoothly for her. But within the castle's library, she meets a visitor named Sunset Shimmer, the mare's presence surprising her. And even though Starlight finds Sunset to be unlike anypony she's ever met before, there are some things she'd rather keep secret. As it turns out, Sunset has some secrets of her own.

Sweetie Belle discovers an amateur novel lying abandoned on the ground. The mysterious story soon becomes all the rage with everypony.

And then Rarity hears a passage of it being read out loud...

When a moonlight kitten unexpectedly enters Luna's life, she has no idea what to do. The creature knows no limits, pestering her during the day and night, even disrupting her work! Surely Fluttershy could help her get rid of that nuisance! ... Even if it can be adorably cute at times.

Thanks to the HKIFA group for advice during the story's creation.

Discord breaks off his relationship with Reality in order to see Insanity exclusively. It's better for everyone this way.

Or that's what he keeps telling himself.
