One morning Twilight awakens to find her favorite Daring Do book has gone blank. So have the books on her desk. And that's just the start of her problems! What do you do when the very thing that you love most simply goes away?

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.

Written for EQD's Writer's Training Grounds

The Great and Powerful Trixie has spent many years wandering Equestria, hauling her little wagon behind her. She's spent all those years alone, and that's just fine by her. Who needs other ponies?

Soon enough, though, she finds herself followed by a strange unicorn mare who insists on being taught the tricks of her trade. Trixie teaches her, but is the mare really ready for all a showmare's life entails?

Cewestia is coming! Cewestia is coming! Woona is so excited! But what will happen when she doesn't show up?

This story is a sequel to The Definitive Guide to Pony Anatomy - Starring Princess Celestia and Princess Luna

'Do not trust an alicorn who weighs any less than her operating manual' - Author of this Guide

Sometimes your alicorn throws a temper tantrum and runs around the house turning off all the lights while declaring herself a new breed of adorable evilness. Sometimes sibling squabbles leave you with a tearful alicorn refusing to raise the moon and allow the day to end. Keep calm and read this guide. This guide will walk you through how to safely contain evil dark pony overlords using readily available household implements such as the humble cardboard box. And if all else fails, it will at least help you make effective use of the astrophysics of alicorn anatomy to manually override the raising, lowering and general joyriding of various celestial bodies.

Published by the Royal Canterlot Publishing House for the Royal Equestrian Diplomatic Mission to Earth. For human audiences only. No alicorns (or humans) were harmed in the making of this guide.

Contains: Princess Luna being generally mischievous and adorable for Hearthswarming Eve. Also contains cardboard. Surprisingly does not contain any bubblewrap for once.

This is a standalone story, but it does sort of have a 'previous episode' you can read here. Reading it is not required to enjoy this particular story, but it's a fun short read in its own right.

Sort of my Christmas fic. I decided to get it done early as I'll be working this Christmas. Again. Happy Hearthswarming, everyone!

It's the height of summer in Canterlot, and everything is peaceful for Celestia, sole ruler of Equestria and regent of the sun and moon. Her newest and youngest of pupils is mastering every task set before her, moving through every subject with confidence and skill.

Every subject except for one, that is.

Little Sunset Shimmer can't swim. And Princess Celestia aims to fix that... no matter how difficult it ends up being.

In line with the continuity of A Tale of Two Suns, Book 1: The Two Suns, but it's not particularly necessary to read that first.

Playlist of an in-progress reading by the author.

A young Sunset Shimmer has a problem; her mentor and resident mother figure has had no time for anything but work recently. Now she just needs a way to fix it. Luckily, she has a cunning plan.

Inspired by a conversation Justice3442 and I had while discussing a piece of art I did over on my Deviant Art page. Not the cover art; that I did because I couldn't stop giggling wildly at the mental image.

*** Since two people now have asked for the original piece that prompted the conversation between Justice and I. And thus both this story and the cover art. It's here.***

As always, if anyone notices any glaring mistakes, or has constructive criticism, please let me know. I'm really not sure how to classify this, so I'll just stick with the Slice of Life tag and add more if people say I should.

Any italics not directly inserted in speech are internal monologue. Sunset talks to herself. Frequently.

Sunset Shimmer is having the worst day of her life. She used to be important. She was the personal student of Princess Celestia. She was a future leader of Equestria. She was the kind of mare that everypony envied.

Today, it's all crashing down around her.

Alternate Universe: What if Sunset Shimmer hadn't gone through the mirror?

In the wake of her friends' plan to curb her egotistical nature, Rainbow Dash has her life turned upside down and finds herself pulled in every direction as she is saddled with more expectations, responsibilities, problems, and some romance thing that anyone can see coming.

Too bad for her nopony asked if she wanted any of it.

Prequel to Fat Stacks... of Books.

Little filly Sunset Shimmer needs something to occupy her time. She’s already read all her adoptive mother’s books, so a trip to the library is the logical solution. Unfortunately for everypony not a princess or the daughter of one, things quickly get out of hoof. The consequences of what follows means things will never be the same again!

These things are mostly books… Almost exclusively books.
