As a changeling gets the worst end of the invasion, she realizes she had been fighting for something she never wanted. Wounded and alone, her fate seems sealed – but when do things ever turn out as expected?

Not when meeting the Crystal Alchemist, that much is certain. Especially not while he is faced with Bon-Bon and Lyra, in trouble way too deep for comfort.

Honestly, descriptions. After countless versions of this one, I still liked none. Reading the beginning hardly helps, since that should be tagged dark and not romance. If you react to this story like Button Mash to the pong machine, sorry about that.

"If only I had known then what I know now. Maybe I would have acted differently. Maybe I could have stopped Pinkie from leaving. But there's no way I could have known. The mystery that is Pinkie Pie could never be so easy to figure out. She'd been lying to us all along, hiding who she really was. Maybe she'd always planned to just disappear from our lives for good. But there's one thing I do know, no matter who or what she may really be, she'll always be that silly pony who surprises me when I read in the Library, who threw me a Welcome party when I first came to Ponyville, and who will always be one of my dear friends. And I'll be damned if I don't show her where she really belongs. With her friends."
Note: This story takes place before Twilight becomes a alicorn but after Discord has been reformed.

In a stroke of luck, Rarity finds herself piled up to her neck in work. She tries to recruit the aid of her best friends, but they too have become highly preoccupied. All except for Ponyville's modest blonde-maned apple bucker. The two have never been really close, but who know what could happen over just a little bit of dirt?

Generosity is a reward on its own. A small gift that you personally don't care about. It isn't the act of giving, it isn't that the other pony owes you. It's just to see a smile on a friend's face, the lifting of a dark shadow on a stranger's brow. It is the one moment where all your earthly deeds take a step back and for but one small moment you can truly be yourself.

Well, it turns out they play Football in Equestria too - well, hoofball - and just like here, there's a Superbowl. And of course, with the Superbowl comes the Superbowl Party. Now when it comes to Superbowl parties, the Earth Ponies who invented the sport tend to have the best ones, although they sometimes get just a little carried away. Ponyville, being an Earth Pony dominated town, is no exception, and every year, most of the town gathers to watch the EHL champion crowned. Follow this tale of laughs, food, grudges, drinks, and ... romance? ... at Ponyville's Annual Superbowl Party.

Slowly the Mane 6 have drifted away from one another, focused solely on their ever-ascending careers, until only Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy remain. The experiance of letting go again and again has hardened Pinkie's emotions, but when they both meet on a quiet river and bring up the subject, will Fluttershy be able to keep her composure?

Roseluck hates Hearts & Hooves Day. She's always been a single mare, and spending the entire day selling flowers is not her idea of a good time. She was hoping things would be different this time around, and who knows? Maybe things will finally change for the downtrodden mare.

Obviously, the title is a play on words of the Poison song, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".
