While touring Canterlot with her new magic act, the Great and Powerful Trixie finds herself invited to the royal wedding at the castle.

But who's getting married? Why did they invite Trixie? And why are those ponies from Ponyville attending?

The story art is drawn by the talented Amenoo at Deviant Art, originally commissioned by EvanKestral. Used with permission.

Frustrated and bitter over her previous humiliation by Twilight Sparkle, Trixie is in Canterlot, set to perform at the Royal Wedding. In a bar, lamenting her misfortunes, Trixie is unprepared when the changeling invasion begins. Teaming up with Wonderbolt Captain Spitfire, Trixie tries to slow the advance while struggling to overcome her own fears and inadequacies.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie have always been considered free spirits. Rainbow herself could never have thought she'd ever reanalyze her entire life for the sake of one person. But when she and Pinkie are put in charge of caring for a young sickly friend during the course of a legendary icestorm, the two learn quite a bit about self-sacrifice and growing up. Also there is a tortoise.

Not featured on equestria daily! (that place scares me kinda)

This story features your daily allotment of: sad things, happy things, and sappy things!

Authors Note:
I have the educational level of a kindergartner so if the story is kinda iffy you can blame the public education system! Hooray! In all seriousness I just wanted to write something cute.

edit:

the illustrations were sketches by me that were inked and colored by a friend who wishes, at the moment, to remain Anonymous. (bronies scare him).

He is a bit of a hypocrite though.

Crossover with Overwatch

Why did I write this?

Let us imagine a world where the Equestria we know and worship is divided into two kingdoms: the Kingdom of Lumen and the Empire of Nacht. Every so often, the rulers of these two kingdoms, Princess Celestia and Empress Luna, get together and have tea together.

Lets also imagine that these two are madly in love, and that one of them wants to take their relationship a step further?

Word around Ponyville is that Queen Chrysalis is planning something.

Something big.

Something terrible.

Something beyond imagination.

If only Queen Chrysalis had any idea what that something was.

It's Christmas in Ponyville and it's one holiday Scootaloo could live without. What was so great about it anyway? It's not like she had family to share it with. But this Christmas, after wishing on a star, it seems she'll finally get what she's always wanted.

Featured on 12/20/14! Best Christmas present ever!

Life can be challenging for humans born in Equestria, but it's especially tough for a human raised by ponies. Rainbow Dash overcame every obstacle life had thrown at her to become a hero of Equestria, the Element of Loyalty and make five of the best friends ever. Life couldn't be better, or could it? When she saves the life of an orphaned filly named Scootaloo she realizes she may have more than just awesomeness to offer others.

By simple biological necessity, one can conclude that Scootaloo has parents. And, indeed, there is a couple in Ponyville who claim her as their own. But they adopted her long ago. The documents are in Town Hall for anypony who cares to look. So, whence came the winged Crusader?

To learn that, we must go not just to another time, but another place, for Scootaloo is as orphaned as an orphan can be.

Written for F*** THIS PROMPT! 11. Prompt: Scootaloo is an orphan.

Nightmare Moon was the first pony in space. The next documented pony in space was Princess Celestia, from when she had been sent to the sun when Nightmare Moon returned. There was a pony before Princess Celestia who went into space. She was undocumented. Who?

This is the first story in the Shadow-Dashverse.
