For most ponies the day they get their cutie mark is the day everything changes. That was especially true for Twilight Sparkle, as the day she got her cutie mark was also the day Princess Celestia took her on as a student, she gained a new little brother and started on the road to her future.

It was also the day she became a dragon.

Unicorn Quick Caper and his much larger Earth pony pal Mugger, have had it with constantly having their schemes thwarted by the savvy law enforcement of Manehatten.

So when they hear about a fair-sized hamlet out in the middle of nowhere, stuck right beside the Everfree Forest and the main city of Canterlot, they see this as the perfect opportunity to snag some quick bits from the unsuspecting rubes that travel between the Forest and the way to Canterlot.

What could be more simple?! Avoid those pesky, nosy Bearers, lie in wait along the Road, jump out and surprise anypony with enough bits! With Caper's brains and Mugger's muscle, they'd soon be rolling in cash! Profit!

A few days after ascending to Alicornhood, Twilight Sparkle is experimenting with Magic, as she is wont to do. She found a lovely new spell in Luna's old quarters in the Castle of the Two Pony Sisters that she's just dying to try. She should've read the fine print.

FEATURED! Bonus contest: if anyone can correctly cite me the source for the name of the monster in this story, I’ll give you a prize. No, I didn’t come up with that incredible name.

Written for Bean’s writing group. Prompt: “Discord gets sued”.

Fluttershy has had quite a week. Nothing has really gone right, her anxiety has kept acting up, and Discord’s been gone for days.

When he finally comes back, he looks…different.

I wonder how I am going to feed Owlowiscious tonight? It will be quite hard to feed him without hooves. Maybe I can use my wings to grab the food, but it might be hard to do that if they are not on my body anymore. My ears hurt, and that constant ringing won’t come out of my ears, why is everything so numb?

This story is a sequel to A "warm" Distraction

Meet Loveling, the adoptive daughter of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, but Loveling is not what she seems to be. She is, in fact, the last surviving Changeling, given to Cadance by Chrysalis before the Changeling Queen froze to death. Out of guilt and responsibility, Cadance and Armor chose to raise this Changeling as if she was their own foal. But there are still old feelings and past resentments that may make little Loveling's life a tad difficult.

Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's marriage was thought to be the happiest in Equestria, one that would last forever. But sadly it will not. Shining Armor lays dying in his bed. A strange illness has afflicted him and he does not have long. Despite warnings by the royal physicians, Cadance must go to see her beloved husband one more time.

Canterlot High's annual student film festival is fast approaching, and the submissions are now under review. But ultimate writer-director-star-girlfriend team Lyra and Bon-Bon are confident they've made something spectacular. It's innovative, it's bold, it's experimental, it's inspired, it's confident, it's... rejected???

Okay, maybe it was a little too out there for the festival... and perhaps a bit too risqué as well. But they can still salvage this. Right?

This story is a sequel to Tempestuous Passion

Tempest feels a little discouraged. Learning the piano is so, so difficult, especially without a horn.

A bit of helpful advice from Octavia changes that.

Edited with TheAncientPolitzanian's help. Thanks a whole lot, again :)

A mother brings her daughter to Canterlot, for enrollment in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Together, they face the future.
