We, the ponies of New Canterlot, do hereby dissolve the position of Monarch of Equestria, stripping it of all rights and privileges, effective immediately.

Second place in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Event 100 contest. The prompt was "A Worthy End."

Cover art by the delightful Snow Quill.

When an ancient evil threatens the peace of her kingdom, it's up to Princess-Knight Zirconia Diadem XVI and her faithful court wizard Argenta Runeladle to drive it back. It won't be easy, but they've got heart.

If only they had experience to match...

An athlete like Lightning Dust is no stranger to doctor visits, and a nurse like Speedy Recovery is no stranger to receiving patients. It would take something pretty cataclysmic to throw them both off.

Or maybe all it takes is three bolded words on a psych results sheet.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every Thursday for the foreseeable future. If you like this one, check out the others!

A pony is stuck in a fence, and it's my job to get her out.

Cover art by silfoe. I've always loved this particular picture.

Inspired by the cover art and this video.

Originally wanted this to be in 2nd person, but I know that can turn people off to the whole thing. I get it, I used to be like that too.

Now has a live reading by StraightToThePointStudio.

On the longest day, of the thousandth year, the stars aided in her escape.

Then Nightmare Moon looked out upon the land that would soon be her empire, and found a world she no longer existed in. In a thousand years, she had been all but forgotten.
She could conquer, and continue to be hated. She could put aside her pride, and be redundant. Or, she could disappear, and fade into the glorious night.

AN: While Princess of Equestria takes place before this, neither are required reading for the other. Rather, they complement each other.

Redheart says goodbye to a patient.

Twilight Sparkle is a successful mare - it's hard to do better than a pair of alicorn wings and a crown! Which leads her to wonder - why is she still single? Perhaps Rarity, connoisseur of all things romantic, will hold the answer?

The day had been saved, the Villainous Trio defeated and safely placed in the garden of the School of Friendship. Everycreature was happily celebrating the win and enjoying themselves... everycreature except Ocellus. No, she had someone she needed to talk too now that she had the chance, even if that person couldn't listen anymore.

A dragon and a pony. A mare and a dragoness. Together and in love? Pretty weird, right?

Most ponies would say that. Scoffing at just how ridiculous that sounded, while some might even question if you were alright in the head for asking such a ludicrous thing. A dragon and a pony could NEVER be together, it just wouldn't work. Yet, this was the reality for two of the residents in little hamlet known as Ponyville. They lived the impossible. A yellow dragon who towered greatly over the equine residents of the town who was the perfect definition of a gentle giant; and a small blue pegasus who was pretty much known all across Equestria for her flying prowess even from a young age.

Those two were Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

They were life long friends who eventually grew up to discover feelings of love for the other. What exactly lead them to falling for each other was still a mystery to any who saw them; and a bit of one to the both of them as well. They seemed like complete opposites, but that worked perfectly for the pair. It didn't really matter why, or how anyways... All that they knew is that neither one of them could imagine going any further in life without the other beside them, supporting their goals in every way imaginable.

But, such a relationship has it's rocky moments. It has ups and down, sacrifices and compromises that either of them is fully prepared for. Hard work and determination will help them though, love will always prosper.

Though, is the world ready for a dragon and a pony to get married?

I guess they're gonna find out...

Artwork done by imalou, picture taken from Derpibooru! Also check out his Twitter right here! Artwork was used without permission, so if the artist requests this to be removed, I gladly will. And apologizes in advance for using without asking, but this picture motivated me so much I just had to use it for the story that was inspired by the wonderful art.

The first chapter was pretty much based wholly by this picture, it just kinda captured my heart and I knew there was a story there. Less than two weeks later, I had a chapter written. I'm not sure where this will go fully, but I want to keep it E or at the most T if I need to. So expect some lighthearted lovey stuff to come from this story!

Big thanks to Scaramouche For editing/proofreading this for me before it went live.

It has been fifteen years since the Battle of the Bell, that terrible day when friendship failed and the forces of evil were triumphant. The conquerors of Equestria carved the land into three and settled into their rule, comfortable in the knowledge that nopony would ever be able to stand against them again.

In her home, a manor-house she calls Story's End, the Empress Cozy Glow receives an unexpected visit from a most expected visitor. It's a night she has long anticipated; the absolute final victory over the forces of light and love. After all, what has she to fear?

How much of a threat could an exiled princess from the far north possibly pose?
