Fluttershy hears it. She hears it all the time.

Ponies always talk about Discord--they whisper about him, even when she and her friend are around them. Ugly, they say. They find him ugly! They think he's a beast!

It makes Fluttershy's heart ache. She's afraid their words are hurting Discord--that he may think he's ugly too, because of what they say.

So when she holds an event for pets in need of adoption, and the gossip starts again, can Fluttershy stand up for him?

And what in the world does Discord mean by "You'll figure it out"?!?

Applejack has always had a secret dream, one that some ponies would find strange for the tomboyish farmer. She's always wanted somepony to treat her to a special romantic night, while being treated like a real lady. Turns out all she had to do was have a certain rainbow-maned pegasus catch her in a dress. Such an awkward moment will lead them to a night neither will ever forget.

WINNER OF THE APPLEDASH CONTEST!

Sweetie Belle is leaving Ponyville. As Apple Bloom says goodbye to her, she thinks about everything they've been through together. Does she have what it takes to stop Sweetie going?

This story was inspired by the Foalcon group collab prompt Run, and also by the Snow Patrol song of the same name.

Do people think an "E" tag is appropriate for this story? I've tagged it "T" for now.

Moondancer shut herself off from the world when Twilight decided to study instead of attending her party. That is not a normal reaction to a negative response from somepony with the mental status of "friend." A snub from a crush, however...

A.N. This is the FIRST Moonlight story. Ever. It was written the night of the episode and approved the day after.

This story has been reviewed by Rage Reviews. The link can be found here.

As the sun sets at the end of one particularly crazy day, Lyra and Bon Bon (a.k.a. Sweetie Drops) venture out to their usual late-night spot. Although they are drunk on the magic of Cranky and Matilda's wedding, there are still a few things left to be said about Bon Bon's revelation. What other secrets have the two been hiding all this time?

Following Cranky Doodle and Matilda's wedding, Octavia and Vinyl Scratch find themselves in demand all over Ponyville as a duet. Playing packed shows in all sorts of venues. But will their latest booking, a talk on music and creativity at Ponyville school, be a step too far for one half of the duo?

Takes place after A Slice of Life.

Is it possible to trust again?- After so many lies?

Can love overcome all?

Are ponies capable of a pure heart?

Does Equestria have gravity?

These are the question's one Gator shall ask himself.

Entry for The Weekly Contest #23.

When Cheesy Sense calls, Cheese Sandwich has no choice but to obey it, throwing parties and spreading laughter wherever he’s needed. This time is different, though. Pinkie is having a very hard pregnancy, and he doesn’t want to leave her. Between keeping an eye on Pinkie and trying to convince her friends that he’s not just being a nervous husband, he has a lot on his hooves. And on top of that, he’s got the suspicion that there’s something Pinkie isn’t telling him.

This fic is a partner piece to Triple Threat. You can consider it a sort of prequel to that and to another fic, Triple Slam. It’s out of continuity from my other CheesePie work, meaning that it isn’t a certain look at their future at all.

Equestria never thought they'd see the day. Pinkie Pie, the happiest pony in the world, refuses to smile. Many questions arise. What has caused this state of depression? Will a smile ever cross the pink pony's face? Who can help?
This takes place after the events of I Found Love: Discord and Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle and Iron Will find themselves (and each other) on a balcony. And thanks to circumstances, it doesn't look like they'll be leaving anytime soon. This can only lead to shipping.

Cadance is going to be insufferable for weeks.

Now with a fantastic reading by the inestimable obabscribbler.

This story was written for a game of Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder. If you want to know what I mean by that, look here or here. And if you want to read more fics written for the game you can find them here (well, you'll be able to find them there eventually. There aren't any others there yet because this is the first one).

This story ships Star Student Twilight with Iron Will using the Stuck on a Balcony All Night ship.

And thanks to Not_A_Hat for help with this thing.
