Applejack has finished harvesting before Fall and she has a lot of spare time. Twilight decides that they should share their free time together. Doing things that ponies do when they are free. Because ponies.

*No SERIOUS Clop, just a short and cute story with some touchy feely and kissy kissy. If your not into that then you should be because its awesome.

A lot happened to Twilight Sparkle the year before she made the transition to Ponyville, before she realized the value of a friend, and before she saved all of Equestria...

After a chance encounter with "Rainbow:" an enigmatic, amnesiac pegasus mare with a rainbow-striped mane and a knack for mischief, Twilight begrudgingly finds herself overseeing her recovery, all while questions keep surfacing. Like who is she? Where did she come from? And more importantly... why can't she get her off of her mind?

As days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to months, destinies are revealed and the past is dug up as Rainbow's memories begin to resurface; and as sinister forces set their sights on Equestria, Twilight and Rainbow find they must overcome themselves in order to become the heroes they are meant to be.

Sequel officially now in progress exclusively (for the time being anyway) over on my patreon.
Check out the sneak preview here.

This story is a sequel to Monsters

You might think that Equestrian nights are but serene exhibitions of Luna's work on the sky. You may believe that you can just lay out on the grass and admire the beautiful stars as a warm evening breeze caresses your mane. And you would be wrong.

Equestria is a magical place, and where there is magic, there is chaos. Dead rising from their graves, inanimate objects coming to life, strange apparitions making your foal cry in her room... sounds familiar? No? Then I'm doing my job right.

I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I work the Night Shift.

This follows canon up to the end of season 2.

Apple Bloom takes an impromptu bath after a hard days work. She enjoys it until she realises she is alone and there is no one to look after her. Given time to think, she discovers some things.

Inspired by cover art though there are differences for narrative purposes.
NOTES: Haydust is a real thing.
The top of a ponies foreleg is called a forearm, which means that ponies can be said to have armpits. Websearch it if you want to verify it I will brook no argument on the matter.

(( Warning: This story hasn't been altered or modified since its entry into the contest. It has minor grammar issues and I am well aware of that, but I left it as is because that is how it was entered into the contest. Just a heads up because I am getting lots of feedback regarding the same issues.))

Sometimes secrets are best kept hidden, and sometimes they shouldn't be secret at all. The fillies are about to learn a valuable lesson that a certain filly was keeping from those she knew.

What happens when secrets unravel and the fate of five fillies are changed forever?

Something is causing the pegasi to follow an irresistible urge to hug their ground-bound cousins, leaving Ponyville foundering in a mildly annoying emergency. Twilight Sparkle ventures into the no-more-dangerous-than-usual town in a desperate attempt to solve the cutesy crisis and finally get her study time back.

Inspired by shortskirtsandexplosions' story Herald.

Equestria’s calendar is bloated with holidays and celebrations of all shapes and sizes. Celestia's favorite, however, is always Nightmare Night. There are few things better than surplus candy, after all.

Of course, this year her sister is back, but that probably won't cause any major problems.

A short fluff piece to commemorate Nightmare Night Halloween Discount Candy Day, the greatest of holidays. Thanks to Sereg for prereading.

DT the Lost Water Spirit did a dramatic reading of this story! Find it over here.

Twilight's only had her wings for about a week, only a little shorter than the time since she started dating Rainbow Dash. She's yet to learn how to preen, and Rainbow's willing to help teach her!

Written for One-Shotober.

(As a note, you can get the original source of the picture by clicking it. The original is beautiful and has Fluttershy in it as well, but I had to edit her out (poorly) to fit the story. Please don't hate me for editing her out; she's my second-favorite pone, but she doesn't fit in the story!)

Note: This is a direct sequel to Spike's Crazy Date it is highly recommended that you read that first for context.

A short year has gone by since the "Vinyl Scratch Incident" and Spike finds himself as single as ever. When an old flame resurfaces however, Spike will be set on winning her heart.

Unfortunately for Spike, old flames aren't the only ones coming back. And when someone once very dear to Spike has a startling revelation, the dragon will have to make a decision that will change everything in his life.

As Spike searches for answers, the drake discovers the true meaning of love in the process.

Returning from their honeymoon, Shining Armor and Cadence have organized a get-together in Canterlot for their friends and loved ones. Twilight and the other elements are all invited, and the invitations mention that Princess Cadence has a special announcement!

If only they had known that this announcement would turn their world upside down.
