Sour Sweet has always been kind of unstable: one moment she could be sweet, the next one she could be kinda upsetting and rude.

But lately, she's been acting greatly sour, which has begun concerning her classmates. So, who could help find out what's wrong with her?

Her deadpan girlfriend who has no problem saying the first thing that comes to her mind, of course!

Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, has begun her invasion on Canterlot, and is expecting someone to show up to it. Unfortunatley, neither Chrysalis or the visitor know how to properly act during an invasion and think they're in something else entirely.

Please help me, I'm so bored.

One sleepless night, Rarity gets up to try and find a way to make herself fall asleep. Fortunately, Autumn has something that might just be the ticket.

This story is a sequel to 26 Short Stories of EQG

Set after the events of the movie, Sunny Starscout and Friends experience all kinds of things in Equestria.

But it's written by me.

Why is this story a sequel to '26 Short Stories of EQG', when only the final chapter of that has any semblance to this story?
Idk

Now with an audio drama produced by truesailorcomet, as well as TVTropes page!

Princess Luna takes on a Night Apprentice, her counterpart to Princess Celestia's Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle. Nova Shine, a wandering unicorn from Canterlot, is given the position for the first time in a thousand years. What neither of them know is that there exists a long and secret history between the positions of the Faithful Student, the Night Apprentice, and a mysterious shadow that seems to keep popping up in Nova's and Twilight's dreams. This shadow, whatever it is, and the dreams it appears in do not bode well, but the Princesses remain tight-lipped about these nightmares.

Nova and Twilight agree to investigate the nightmares themselves, and this mission occupies them for some time. But as they continue their search, their relationship starts to develop into something more than just fellow students. As if to make matters any more chaotic, Trixie Lulamoon arrives on Twilight's doorstep announcing that she, too, has been dealing with nightmare problems.

Finally, there's also the shadow itself. An ancient and dangerous enemy, it has lain dormant for the last thousand or so years. Why it chooses to reveal itself now is anyone's best guess, but unless Twilight and Nova can stop it, there's no telling what will happen to Equestria...

Having finally accepted the idea of shared love magic, Pharynx has transformed. Thorax's efforts to lead an excitable pack of changelings have only eased with his broodmate's help, but Pharynx's shape and status aren't the only things to have changed. Much of Pharynx's cold demeanor has begun to thaw, presenting Thorax with something he's never had, before - an interactive, albeit slightly irritating older brother.

A Kirin remembers the Joy, Happiness, and Love that the Stream of Silence has robbed from them. They cannot even bring themselves to touch or hug the one they hold dearest in their heart. How has this cooling of their emotions truly affected them?

After Fluttershy and Applejack visit Kirin Grove, Twilight Sparkle demands a kirin in the School of Friendship, and since Autumn Blaze is already friends with Fluttershy and Applejack, she is sent, and so the day begins.

Ocellus has been having some conflicting thoughts on her place at the School of Friendship. She loves her time there, and the friends she's made, but she can't help but wonder if there's anything more to it than just friendship. So she does the sensible thing and asks her guidance councilor.

(Takes place prior to the events of "The Best Gift Ever" since Mud Briar was seen with the Pies.)

Maud Pie couldn't be happier now that she has an amazing boyfriend like Mud Briar, and Mud Briar is happy to have a pony like Maud who not only understands him but technically shares in his passions.

However, Maud's parents have learned that their second oldest daughter has taken a boyfriend and are quite curious to meet the potential son-in-law. But Maud hasn't told them what Mud Briar is like.

Mud Briar accompanies Maud, both out of a desire to see the rock farm she grew up on and to be a supportive boyfriend for his special somepony. He doesn't seem nervous, but he hasn't been told what Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz are like.

Will this trip back to the rock farm go smoothly for Maud, and can she get her parents to approve of Mud Briar? Or will Mud Briar drive them all crazy with his technically correct way of speaking?
