Marble Pie: The quietest of the Pie siblings. Really, that's all anypony can attribute to the mare, and she knows it. After overhearing some choice words from her family, Marble decides it's time to do something about it. It's time to go out and find her strength, to be strong for her family. Pinkie and Maud both succeeded when they left the farm, so why can't she?

A journey to Ponyville brings her to a literal legend of strength, the Pillar Rockhoof himself. Marble knows that through his teachings, she's sure she can become strong, strong enough to do...well. She's sure he can help her figure that out too! They'll all see! Limestone, Igneous, Maud and Pinkie; they'll all see Marble can become somepony great! What Marble isn't prepared for, though, is the truth Rockhoof helps her to unearth about herself. And what it truly means to be strong.

Oh Applejack, where for art thou Applejack! Those were words Sunset thought she'd never have to hear herself say. Though there is a first time for everything. Because they were both failing drama class, they were chosen as Romeo and Juliet for the senior play. And neither of them seem to be happy about it.

The Sweetie Bot Mk-XLI is the latest and most successful integration of a proto-equine unit, surpassing the previous models in every conceivable manner. And thanks to the seamless upgrade and re-insertion procedures, including the connection to the hive mind cloud data network of Sweetie Core Memories, nopony has ever noticed when a previous model has been replaced with a newer one.

Mk-XLI has been in place for several weeks now, and so far the re-integration has appeared to be successful. But today there appears to be a network error in the school yard that she is struggling to rationalise. Why are some ponies staring at her?

My captor was kind, to a point. They provided me with a comfortable private suite, three meals a day, and tried to accommodate any of my needs within reason. It was a far cry from being locked away in a dingy dungeon or straight up killed, but I still was a bit wary about the true intentions of this alicorn. 

A gilded cage, however, is still a cage.

Based on an idea from Posh. Poor soul had no idea what he was getting into.

It turns out, the changeling invasion of Canterlot was very...improvised.

The Battle of the Two Sisters is over, and with it, Luna's Rebellion, its leader banished to the Moon by the Elements of Harmony. Her opponent's army shattered, its leaders all but gone and its greatest warriors either dead or in flight, Princess Celestia's position looks secure.

To the north, however, a threat remains. King Sombra of the Crystal Empire, beloved by his subjects, had declared for and fought alongside Luna during her rebellion. Now, he moves desperately to secure his city and its inhabitants, with the wrath of Celestia's army hot on his heels.

The fate of an entire nation hangs in the balance. Though Celestia was known in peace for her adherence to kindness and harmony, there is no telling the rage and hatred that Luna's Rebellion had unleashed. The Battle of the Two Sisters is over, but the Battle of the Crystal Empire is just beginning.

Only one thing is certain: Celestia's wrath will crash upon the Crystal Empire like a great wave and brutality will become the defining feature of the solidifcation of her reign - for there is no mercy under the Black Sun.

As is tradition post-Twilight-Really-Messed-Up-The-Multiverse, the Prime Rarityship Council has its latest meeting. What bonds these Raritys together? The simple fact that they’re all dating a different member of their close friend group.

A post-apocalyptic story about exploring ruins, the mistakes of another civilization, and memory.

No one must ever know,
This land where we must go,
They hoped and shared their love,
Yet death rained from above,
The scars of passing linger on,
Through empty husks and unheard songs.
Although they now live in my heart,
The truth still hurts...where do I start?-Twilight Sparkle
