For a mare of Rarity's calibre, chances to relax are few and far between. Business, clients, and her boutiques in Ponyville, Canterlot, and Manehattan must always come first.

However, when a new, bold, and daring client walks through her door, she might find a long overdue chance to unwind. Drawn in like a moth to the flame, how could she possibly resist?

After all, even a lady must be allowed to indulge once in a while.

A birthday present for Carapace.

Appearance is everything, especially when you're a Wonderbolt. When you live your life in the spotlight, showing vulnerability will not do. There can be no cracks in your foundation, at least that's how it feels. But learning to bring those walls down can lead to surprising, wonderful revelations—even in the intensive care ward.

For some ponies, like Captain Spitfire, something needs to shake the foundations to bring the walls tumbling down. Then, with some help from the right pony, you can be led from the rubble.

Even if you fall head-over-hooves along the way.

An ongoing gift for auramane. Send him some love!

A simple story of a mare who knew that magic was where the home is. Preferably a home with thick window treatments and a sturdy, well-locked door. Very secure. Very magical.

Please don't expect much of this. Really, just begin your reading experience by lowering your expectations to a dull roar. That's how Twilight Sparkle would want it to be.

2 out of 25 Ponies say "DO NOT READ!"

It's a rare thing when you find somepony special who brings light into your life—a light you didn't know you were missing. When you find that pony, isn't it only fitting to return the favour?

Starting over is never an easy thing to do. Lost, alone, and cold, sometimes a friendly smile and mug of cocoa are all that's needed to warm the heart.

And right now, Bon Bon is very cold.

Amethyst Star used to be Ponyville's top organizer. Everything from balancing the Mayor's schedule, Nightmare Night, and even Winter Wrap-Up were dropped on her desk. When the mess ups and the mistakes started to pile up, however, she was only too happy to pass the torch to the new resident librarian.

But, with Cranky and Matilda's wedding under her belt, she can't help but wonder if she threw in the towel a little too early . . .

Good thing there's a pair of friends, dancing around their feelings for one another, that could use a little matchmaking. Amethyst just might be the perfect mare for the job.

To earth ponies, there is little more important than tradition. Foals grow up taught everything from family recipes, songs, dances, to folk tales passed down from generation to generation. Of these traditions, none is more valued than a proposal, an offer to entwine your life with somepony else's.

To Bon Bon, nothing is more important to her than Lyra, and nothing matters more than making sure that her proposal is perfect.

Now, if only perfection wasn't so elusive.

And if only it was as easy to grow flowers as every other earth pony makes it seem.

After a night of fun and catching up, two best friends begin their walk home. While everything seems well and good, even the most well-worn mask can have cracks.

This story was loosely based on the "Beautiful Sunrise" prompt from Bean's Writing Group. It started as something else, but I decided to create something different from that. Thus this story exists. I would like to thank my friends Bean, Mykola, Ran, Smokey, Gadot, and Short for all their help with editing and critiquing this story. I don't think I'd ever get this far without them.

Sunset and Flash have “started over” as friends, but the guilt from her past is on her mind whenever she sees him now. With her newfound power, she could see into his mind and find out his side of their past… but she can’t go invading his space without asking, right? She's going to have to wade through the emotions of her past while keeping the reality of her new life afloat.

Set directly after EqG:LoE, and is my take on the romantic happenings of our pony friends and a certain Brad.

Everypony remembers the tale of Flash Magnus, the pillar of bravery who saved his fellow cadets from the dragons, earning him his title and the shield of Netitus.
He remembers too. He still remembers to this day.

And there is nothing he can do about it.

Based off the "Ghost in the room" prompt from Bean's writing group. And now time to give the special thanks to these beautiful people because they are beautiful and everyone needs to know it.

Lysanderas, shirlendra and bean for their help in editing and fixing this story. Wouldnt have been possible without them!

Special thanks to the rest of the group too. Stay classy you all!

Cover art by short-tale. Thanks to you too!
