When space-time breaks in a way it usually doesn't, Discord and Applejack end up racing through dimensions, trying to find a way back home. If home still exists...

Written for the November 2015 Writeoff Association contest, "Out of Time," this story took 16th place.

Viridian Meadows knows she has an overactive imagination, but she was fairly positive that the mysterious letter delivered to her door was her ticket into a hidden world of nefarious plots, evil villains, and world-shattering secrets.

Instead, she's invited to put her life in the virtual hands of a piece of technology that doesn't really make sense in order to embark upon a vaguely-described adventure with a bunch of complete strangers—all in the hopes of landing a job that hasn't actually been explained.

Naturally, it's the best thing to ever happen to her. Maybe she'll even make some friends.

Generosity is a reward on its own. A small gift that you personally don't care about. It isn't the act of giving, it isn't that the other pony owes you. It's just to see a smile on a friend's face, the lifting of a dark shadow on a stranger's brow. It is the one moment where all your earthly deeds take a step back and for but one small moment you can truly be yourself.

Because the fireplace is warm and when you find yourself the only pony around, sometimes you find your thoughts drifting. Sometimes you think about your friends, your family, sometimes you just think about where you live and why you consider it home.

Deep below the Frozen North there exists a sleeping dragon born of ice and moulded by harsh winters. She put herself there by her own accord, determined to forsake contact with the outside world. But when an intrepid young pegasus discovers her and tries to break out of her shell, she is forced to settle for a conversation. One thing is for sure, she isn't about to lose to a pony in a game of words.

Join the cynical old dragon and the foolish young pegasus as they attempt to solve their intrinsic mystery.

Written for the Equestria Daily Oustide Insight contest.

A young Colt falls in love with an instrument and goes to the big city to live from his music, there he meets Lyra Heartstrings, who drags him into the world of an ambitious amateur orchestra.

To be talented in magic is a rare gift, rarer still in a pegasus. For Featherfall, each spell comes at a cost: one of her precious feathers.

Part of Canterlot's elite Magical Crimes Unit, Featherfall struggles to solve the disappearances of two well-liked mares and the brutal murder of a renowned candle-maker, burned alive in his own shop. But, as the facts of the case emerge, Featherfall finds her own family implicated for the grisly crime and unearths hints of a far greater horror.

Princess Luna is a mare of exacting standards. On the one night a year dedicated to her, she expects things to go smoothly. For several years, they have -- children all across Equestria have come to rejoice in her arrival, to thrill at the Princess of the Night enjoying a few hours of scares and laughs. Things have become routine. Comfortable. Reliable.

Then, one year, Princess Luna makes a simple request to Equestria's foremost experts on everything arcane -- the Foundation for Spellcraft and Alchemy. A small order, easily within the capabilities of the mares and stallions that call the Foundation home. A pair of researchers are all that is needed for such a request, two ponies with steady minds and steadier equipment.

Bramble and Willow are not those researchers.

When the duo are forced to improvise, or risk facing Princess Luna's impending wrath on her only night of the year, they accidentally unleash a creation that threatens to destroy Bridle Falls...or at least make the town smell a little more festive.
