The parents of Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and in AJ's case her Granny, they're all sure they're daughters (granddaughter) were definitely NOT ponies the day before. The girls beg to differ and wonder why everyone is wondering, as to why they're ponies. Heck, Spike is a dragon, people should freak out about that!

Princess Celestia has hosted the Grand Galloping Gala for hundreds of years, the grandest party in all of Equestria and said to be without peer—and has hated every year of it. Now that her sister has returned to her, she hopes to share this painful royal duty. Shame for her that Princess Luna wants nothing to do with the Gala, or any of the other princesses for that matter. Luna is going to have to use all her wits and skills to stay one step ahead of her sister and be anywhere but the Gala.

A stand-alone Winningverse story.

This story is a sequel to First Seconds

Fleetfoot had everything. Her job, her coworkers, her friends. Fleetfoot knew beyond a shadow of a doubt she owed her place among the best to skill and talent, but equally to luck. And she was oh so grateful for that luck. But she finds herself less and less happy, especially when left to think alone. She’s started picking up old habits she thought she had left behind, and noticing more and more all the things she doesn’t have.
But well, that's life.

Now where was she going next?

Someplace called... Ponyville?

Art is from the amazing Underpable with editing by Lapis and our friend, Amino.

Music has a language all its own, but apparently not a universal one. Especially not to those birds outside.

Rarity can see it clearly.

The way Applejack laughs around Coloratura, the way she smiles. The way Coloratura hangs on Applejack's every word, the way her eyes light up whenever they glance at each other.

Friends since fillyhood, Applejack and Coloratura share a relationship deeper and more special than most ponies will ever know.

But Rarity and Applejack were fillyhood friends too. Shouldn't that be just as special?

This story is a sequel to A Mad Glimmer

The plan had been perfect, taking everything from Twilight Sparkle and trapping her in a no-win situation. Then Twilight showed Starlight the alleged consequences of her actions.

But there's a bit more to the story. Starlight Glimmer has paid a heavy price, but there's one more debt to call in.

After all, Discord doesn't make idle threats.

Story contains spoilers for the Season 5 finale, potentially disturbing imagery, and nuts. Story still does not contain Nikita Khrushchev or shoes.

Have you ever heard of a mare named Faust? She's an Alicorn, just like the Princesses, but not a princess herself. Some say she's a queen, some say she's their mother. The truth, well... she's really overworked. And with her duty as The Equestrian Archivist she has a pretty demanding job. But what happens when this overworked alicorn decides that she wants to take a vacation in Ponyville? Furthermore, what'll happen when she skips out on her job to take that vacation?

(My first story! A different take on Fausticorn, I've seen her given a general persona that just doesn't seem like what I saw in the original art. So here's my idea of what she might be like. Tags will be added as the story continues.)

HOLY.... F-Featured on December 21 2014! Thanks guys! That is amazing!

In the timeline where the Changelings have taken over Equestria, Trixie has managed to find a shadow of her former life as an entertainer in Zecora's camp. She doesn't preform for giant crowds anymore, and while she misses the grandeur, she's managed to live a happy life entertaining the children of the camp with her stories and small tricks.
But all that comes crashing down when Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings attack. Now, Trixie must use every trick she has left to save her small fan club, and especially Ruby. Because Trixie made a promise to Berry Punch, and she won't allow herself to break that promise.

This story is a sequel to Trixie Times Two

Muffins at the End of the Universe II

Being stranded in a crashed pod, millions of years away from civilisation, with no hope of ever getting back, is starting to have a negative effect on Twilight Sparkle's general well-being. Not helping are Trixie's attempts at mastering a teleportation spell, with varying degrees of success, or Doctor Whooves' latest crazy invention which goes wrong, with horrifying consequences, temporarily elevating Derpy to alicorn status.

But things are about to get a whole lot worse. Derpy is still unable to control her new powers (in spite of Trixie's perfectly faultless teaching) when a familiar enemy reawakens in the form of a giant muffin monster.

Starlight Glimmer awaits her punishment at the hooves of Twilight Sparkle and her friends.
