While researching an odd, magical flower that just recently began appearing in the Everfree Forest, Twilight finds a mysterious creature—a human girl named Lila. Twilight soon discovers the deep connection between the girl, the flowers, and, surprisingly, Princess Celestia.

Bonbon has had a crush on Roseluck since they were little fillies but had accepted that she didn't have a hope with her.

After all, why would a Equestria-famous rose-grower pay any attention to a small time candy maker?

Then Lyra says that Roseluck has a crush on Bonbon.

Not sure if this will be a clopfic. Chapter one was writen when I'm on holiday. Chapter 2 will be in first person.

Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated. Especially if you don't like it, I can't improve if I don't know what wrong.

The discovery of a tiny extraterrestrial object within our own solar system makes a strangely equine alien race aware that the Earth is inhabited by an intelligent species, and they're on their way to come visit.

But since space is a really, really, really big place, they aren't going to get here for about a thousand years. They do have FTL communication, though, so while we wait maybe we'd like to be pen pals...

When Twilight confesses her love to her close human friend, it becomes clear that the species barrier is standing firmly in the way... but is that the true source of the problem?

A short something I thought up ages ago and could never be bothered to write. Please point out any errors and I'll correct them as soon as possible. It feels good to be writing again! Also, if anyone can come up with some good cover art, or better yet a decent title (this is kind of a placeholder for something a little better) then give me a shout, anything is appreciated.

Ponyville's resident glassblower always was a little strange.

Four years ago, a changeling infiltrator found himself alone, and with no signs of backup. He followed the emergency protocol, stuck to the rules, and weathered the storm. With the proper application of patience, discipline, and heavy drinking, the years practically flew. Now the end is in sight, and it's safe to say that there's hardly any story left to tell, right?

Yeah, I thought so too...

Everypony's got a story to tell. Most notably, some unremarkable ponies you have never heard of. One of these ponies is amiable Medley.

Being a very young pony is filled with life-changing adventures, lessons, ups-and-downs and emotions. Medley may not be the most popular pony, but she has a heart of gold, and does everything to make frowny ponies feel better again.
Between contests, singing and weather, Medley and her closest friends Raindrops and Spring Skies grow up together in a bond of friendship, that should never break.

The life of our kind-hearted pegasus pony has just begun.

Applejack plays hide and seek with two very special ponies. Unfortunately for this filly, they're very good hiders.

A ten page short:
What if all the magic we see in the show is exactly what it appears to be? Does that concept scare you? It should.
After a shocking discovery changes his life, a young griffon follows in the hoofprints of his childhood hero, and mounts an expedition deep into the frozen west.

Both 'The Brightest Shine' and 'Piracy' redirect here, and with good reason; read on and it will make sense.

Twilight makes a trip across town in search of something to wake her up. Sometimes awareness is where we least expect it.

Warning: Contains unnecessarily verbose, overly-complicated, inscrutably dense literary self-indulgence.

North of Canterlot, in the far marches of Equestria near the border with the Griffon tribes, there is a mountain that flies.

West of Canterlot, beyond the Galloping Mountains and a desert painted in the pastel hues of a faded rainbow, a tower sits at the edge of the world.

South of Canterlot, past the Everfree forest and the desolate badlands, a city of gardens waits to be born.
