Equestria rejoices as Princess Twilight defeats evil, a castle ascends from the ruins of the Golden Oaks Library, and magical rainbows of friendship billow across the land. But there is grief even in the midst of joy: the Princess laments the loss of her beloved books, and a party stallion mourns a small rubber chicken.

Takes place after Equestria Games: The Cheese Course, and the season 4 finale. CheesePie; part of the same verse/continuity beginning with Swear on Camembert.

It's Fluttershy's birthday, but all of her friends are busy! ... Well, all but one of them, and he's going to make sure it's the best birthday she's ever had.

Twilight Sparkle and Iron Will find themselves (and each other) on a balcony. And thanks to circumstances, it doesn't look like they'll be leaving anytime soon. This can only lead to shipping.

Cadance is going to be insufferable for weeks.

Now with a fantastic reading by the inestimable obabscribbler.

This story was written for a game of Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder. If you want to know what I mean by that, look here or here. And if you want to read more fics written for the game you can find them here (well, you'll be able to find them there eventually. There aren't any others there yet because this is the first one).

This story ships Star Student Twilight with Iron Will using the Stuck on a Balcony All Night ship.

And thanks to Not_A_Hat for help with this thing.

Twilight seems to have run into an unexpected disaster. The mystery that Twilight falls prey to goes on unsolved, but isn't there at least one pony out there willing to help this distressed unicorn? Maybe three?

Cover art by me, I guess. I don't really know if I need to link myself to my own story.

Fluttershy is used to nursing critters of all sorts back to health. When she comes across a broken showmare, however, it will take all her patience and care to help the other pony. Especially when Trixie begrudges her help every step of the way. Can she get through to her? And can Trixie learn that she doesn't need to stand alone to stand strong?

A grown-up Spike looks back on his life and on those who are no longer with him as the anniversary of a dear friend's death rolls around. Will he be able to deal with his grief and put the past behind him? Or will he need the help of someone even older?

A kind of follow-up to my featured fic "My Little Assistant"

When a freak reading accident causes Twilight to be admitted to the Ponyville hospital, Rainbow Dash is right by her side. Compelled by a sense of duty and repayment, she takes it upon herself to cheer up her friend.

Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

Spike has been missing for three years. Why he disappeared is a mystery to everypony. What caused him to leave in the first place, and why is he suddenly back now? He's acting cold towards his old friends and won't reveal why. He's lost his love for Rarity and is treating everypony he comes across the same way Gilda did.
