"Every normal pony must be tempted, at times, to spit on her hooves, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

Over brunch, Twilight Sparkle lines out her plans to turn to a life of villainy. For the most part, her friends are all for it.

It makes sense in context, honest.

Lyra has a secret. She can't wait to tell Bon Bon! 

Bon Bon has a secret. Bon Bon has many secrets, actually. She'd like it if all her secrets remained hidden in the past.

But secrets have a nasty way of coming back when you least expect them.

After an unknown stallion visits the sweetshop, Bon Bon’s secrets come flooding back, and Lyra is swept along for the ride. She's in for the adventure of her life!

Family History sounds boring... until you learn one of your ancestors was a legendary outlaw. That’s what Scootaloo learned, and it was awesome.

Wind Shear is a writer. Technically. He hasn’t written a word in years. In a last-ditch effort to get some inspiration, he heads to a little town, where he learns of the legend of a strange monster who lives in the forest nearby.

Can a utopian paradise that preaches love and tolerance really make ponies happy? Does contentment really lie in free universal healthcare and open government?

Twilight Sparkle is determined to resist this happy world on a matter of principle, and finds herself sneaking off with a mare called Trixie to hate and loathe each other in secret.

Will their hate-nest go undetected? Or will they be forced to face the dangers of the Ministry of Love and the mysterious Room 101?

It’s been a year since Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle got their cutie marks. Clearly, they have to celebrate.

But how?

Little fluff written for (and runner-up in) the Cutie Mark(ed) Crusaders Contest #4.

Rainbow Dash hates letting Rarity plan their dates. When she does, they always end up going to lame places like fashion shows, the spa, and exotic boutiques.

Or places like Fashion Land, the most boring, annoying, fru-fru frilly amusement park in Equestria.

Rainbow Dash hates letting Rarity plan their dates.

So it's finally happened. After being kicked in the shin by Celestia, Discord is officially dying. Now Celestia wants to know if he has any last requests before he goes.

What a silly, silly thing of her to ask.
