A dragon wanders through a starless night, into a land that banished him centuries ago. Never did he imagine he would return to the world that cursed his very existence, but when the sun and moon failed to rise one fateful day, something compelled him to begin the long journey home to the princess who shattered his heart.

Changelings were always considered to be mindless, emotionless bugs. But three changelings will change those stereotypes when they find themselves captured for research. Twilight needs to take care of these changelings if she wants to or not, but she'll find out that there's more to a changeling than meets the eye...

Edited by the wonderful Shamanim and the amazing Chrissy.

Unable to sleep after the events of her brother's wedding, Twilight Sparkle is walking in the woods and finds an injured changeling.

I never wanted this. I never wanted to cause pain. I never wanted to be a bane. I wanted to live.

This story is a sequel to Apex

Finding love is hard enough under normal circumstances, but it's even more complicated when you're the tail of a chimera. As much as Irene may want a fairy-tale romance, her fantasies have so far been stymied by her sisters' rather different opinions on the matter, not to mention the limited choice of species available to chimeras (well, to chimeras who want to have children, that is). However, when the orange pony with the delicious pies gets herself cornered during a delivery, she claims to be the personal friend of a dragon... and apparently, he's single!

It’s never particularly easy being at the top of the food chain, even under normal circumstances, but Eleanor’s circumstances are hardly normal: as one-third of the chimera who prowls the fire geyser swamp south of Ponyville, the tigress must deal with all of the usual stresses that come with being an apex predator, and she has to manage two bickering sisters who simply refuse to shut up and do as they’re told. However, she and her sisters face an unexpected challenge when they come across evidence that a new predator is trying to push into their territory.

(For anyone who's concerned about the gore tag, the violence in this story is of the sort that is typical of a nature documentary. If you can handle the stuff on the Discovery Channel, you shouldn't have too much trouble with this.)

After a detente' meeting with Princess Luna, a Griffon soldier visits Canterlot to see why she came in the first place. But while he was there visiting, he meets a pony who doesn't judge a book by its cover.

This is my entry for the Equestria Daily Summer Fan Fiction Contest.

Prompt:

Write a story about ponies... from a non-pony's point of view.

Everyone has their secrets. Everyone has their regrets. Everyone has made their mistakes, both small and large. Everyone has something that they simply want to forget. Something that they want to hide.

Always the curious one, Twilight discovers the hard way that certain things are hidden for a reason.

When Scootaloo and a new student get into a fight at school, it's up to Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle to teach her the importance of Griffon/Pony relations by reading the story of the first encounter between a Griffon huntress and a Pegasus soldier.
