Sometimes, to ensure that something - or someone - is safe, we resort to drastic measures.
Sometimes, those drastic measures have long reaching consequences.
And sometimes, for good or ill, those consequences fall on ponies who don't have any choice but to accept them.

Shining Armor has it pretty good. A beautiful wife, a perfect daughter, and a job he enjoys. But he recalls a night, years past, when discovering a shocking secret about his then-girlfriend almost made him throw it all away...

Life is pretty good for Twilight. Equestria is at peace and her relationship with Celestia makes every day a little brighter. Yet when she begins having strange, vivid dreams about a future where Celestia has been replaced by a mysterious Queen, Twilight can't help but wonder what those dreams mean for her own actual future.

Written for the 12th Twilestia contest.

Technically this is a sequel to Never Meaning to Send, Chocolate Fluff, and Stepping Off, but just in that they share the same setting, not that any of those are required reading to enjoy this.

This story is a sequel to Spring Tide

On an evening warm and fair, Princess Luna comes walking to Twilight's castle, singing as she goes. Twilight, however, is not there to meet her and so Luna believes she's been stood up. Then she discovers that something far more sinsister has happened, for Twilight, picking flowers for a bouquet at the edge of the Everfree, has stepped into a fairy ring on Midsummer's Eve.

(Continuing my habit of basing stories on songs.)

Twilight Sparkle is a curious mare, always studying, always learning. As she gets older it is only natural that she becomes interested in sex and sexuality. To help her study the subject of pet play she approaches the wisest mare she knows, and one she trusts as much as she trusts her own family.

Princess Celestia

A note: The story was tagged as it is, after consulting with story approvers. There is no actual sexual contact in this story. Re-tagged with the new Fetish tag.

Featured! O Frabjous day! Calloh, callay!
Thank you very much for bringing a smile to an old pone's heart.

Twilight Sparkle keeps writing letters to Celestia, but she never sends them.  When Rainbow Dash swipes one of them, Twilight is desperate to get it back.  Will she succeed, or will Celestia read one of her letters at last?

A bit of TwiLestia with a dash of comedy on the side.

When Rainbow Dash pulls a prank on Twilight, Twilight decides to come up with the ultimate, fool-proof revenge! That's what friends are for, right?

"Faster," whispered Twilight as she cleaned up the mess. "They need to be faster."

Ghost Phase's life was perfectly normal, thank you very much. She worked at a cafe, went to class, and read in the comfort of her apartment. Nothing unusual ever happened, which was exactly how she liked it. But when her changeling friend Misty Step came over to visit, Ghost found herself dragged into an adventure bigger than anything she could have imagined.

A fluffy story I update whenever I feel like it, about two friends seeking adventure in the normalcy of life.

The day had started out so well, shelter was found and even prey. Life was looking up for her pack in this new home in the wild untamed Everfree Forest. That was until ponies discovered their presence. Time to show them who owned the forest.

Setting: This story is actually set in the Clocktower Society setting. (Even though it does not take place inside the tower.)
