Snails has a problem - he's been getting headaches, a lot of them, that keep him from sleeping. Trixie is quickly able to identify the problem: He isn't using enough magic, and it's building up. All Snails has to do is use more magic, and the headaches will go away. Of course, the Great and Powerful Trixie is more than willing to train a foal in the use of magic - after all, she's already training Dinky. What's one more?

...wait, why are there seven foals? Help!

A Lunaverse story.

Civil twilight [n]: the brightest phase of twilight

Twilight goes to visit her friends in and around Ponyville.

But even Twilight Sparkle has a dark side...

Approved by Twilight's Library!

Rover hadn't planned for this.

Everything had been going so well for him up until now. He had gems in his pockets, food in his belly and friends by his side. What more can a Diamond Dog ask for?
But then it happened, that stupid, botched robbery. Now, by order of Equestrian law, he's stuck with a year of community service. An entire year! But you know what the worst part is? The real cherry on the cake?

He's been saddled with her!

"Love is a force of nature."

In the Swayback Mountains, a violent storm and its aftermath force Rarity and Applejack to reappraise their feelings for each other.

This story is a sequel to A Stallion for the Time Being

Minuette likes strong drinks, good-looking stallions, and Twilight Sparkle (who upon occasion has been known to be a good-looking stallion). Oh, and she's the physical embodiment of the metaphysical concept of 'Time'.

Twilight Sparkle likes books, rationally-developed hypotheses, and Minuette (in any form). Plus, she happens to be the incredibly powerful alicorn Princess of Science (totally a real thing).

Together, they have a perfectly happy (if complicated) relationship. But Ponyville has more than its fair share of mysteries, and when trouble comes knocking... Minuette is there to pretend she's not home.

This story is a continuation of sorts to A Stallion for the Time Being, though reading it is not strictly necessary. These short standalone stories are a change of pace for me, focused on Twilight and Minuette dealing with a variety of supernatural shenanigans. More to come as ideas strike me!

Everything is going so well for Twilight. Her loving mentor has big plans for her, her friends are the greatest, and even her enemies have been neutralized. Her life couldn't be any better.

Except it isn't really her life.

As she reaps the benefits of another Twilight's work, the real Twilight is trapped in an unfamiliar world to face the consequences of actions she would never dream of committing. Can she return home? Will the imposter destroy everything precious to her? Will anything ever be the same again?

The sequel to Changeling Times.

(I have adopted this wonderful fic)

It's been years since the failed Changeling invasion, and they now live alongside ponies under a new ruler. Things are relatively peaceful, but some ponies can't let go of the mistrust.

Mistrust breeds hate.

Hate breeds violence.

And six friends who once were heroes find themselves divided between coexistence and terrorism.

Thanks to Stormwatch for the description and DoomManta for editing the later chapters.

Now has a sequel, Changeling Places.

Applejack has never missed a meal on purpose before, let alone a Pie Day dinner – that glorious day of the week serving Granny's famed hot, fresh apple pie. So why was Applejack absent at the dining table today, of all days? Little does the rest of the family know, Applejack's a lot closer than they think – she's in her bedroom, nervously pacing around and building up the courage to perform the single hardest thing she's ever done.

What is this herculean task that not even Applejack can overcome?

Being honest…
