Everyone wears a mask. For the rulers of Equestria, that mask must be impeccable for their subjects. Only around their guards can the two Princesses relax ever so slightly, occasionally showing that they are just as fallible as any other creature. For one Princess, the burdens of her own mind begin to make the mask crack. However, when Private Steel Heart notices that it is, in fact, the pony underneath the mask that is beginning to splinter, he offers to help.

He had no idea such help would first involve getting attacked with a large brush.

Warning: Involves slow-burn romances, lots of feelings, comforting moments, adorable affectionate gestures, lethal amounts of fluff, feel-good auras, and a deadly combing implement.
Takes place around Season 8-9 (ish)

*Edit. Featured on the first day? WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Time Turner is your average earth pony from Trottingham. He's lived in Ponyville for a while now, and for the most part keeps to himself fixing clocks and other time devices for the residents. But, one day, a jump to conclusions leads a certain hyperactive pink earth pony to think Time Turner is some sort of time traveling alien. Soon, everypony wants to hear of his crazy exploits through time and space. The once quiet time artisan is finding himself spinning fictional tales to the little fillies of the town. This gives him a newfound confidence to ask out a certain mail mare he never had the courage to talk to before. Will he succeed? This is more a side story in my TwiMacVerse, that could take place during the events of either stories.

Twilight is asked to choose which branch of the Equestrian forces she would like her guards to come from. In response, she invites one representative from each of the three branches to stay in Ponyville so she and the Elements can choose her and Ponyville's protectors with the proper amount of knowledge. Nocturnal is picked by Luna as the representative for her forces. He does his best to meet Luna's expectations, educate ponies about what it means to be a bat pony, and stay out of trouble during his brief stay.

(Proofread by Smity91 on Fanfiction.net, and proofread and edited by deadpansnarker on FiMFiction.) Sassy Saddles knows she isn't the only pony who co-manages one of Rarity's boutiques, and she is quite content with keeping Canterlot Carousel running smoothly with or without Rarity around to help.

But when a conference for the latest and greatest up and coming fashion designers comes to Canterlot, Sassy is unexpectedly given the opportunity to meet another business partner of Rarity's, Coco Pommel, for only the second time to boot.

Coco has only ever left the comfort of Manehattan once, even after launching her own fashion career. And Sassy is a Canterlot pony through and through.

When Rarity leaves due to an unexpected fashion emergency, she decides to have Coco assist Sassy at Canterlot Carousel in the hopes of giving Coco more experience, and Sassy a chance to work with somepony besides her boss. But is Rarity making the right decision?

With Twilight holding court, more and more ponies come to visit Ponyville. Royal Pin, the only tailor in Ponyville, has too much business to handle by himself. When he hires help to ease the pressure, at the suggestion of Rarity, he finds a partner in business and love.

If everyone could see themselves as L'il Cheese saw them, the world would be a much brighter place.

A story about love in the shape of laughter.

The Student Six all get together to write a letter to their old Headmare, now that the dust has settled and things are running smoothly once more. More specifically to ask her "what's next?"

(I would formally like to request a review from a Judge if possible. Not necessary if you got betted things to do, but it would be nicely appreciated.)

(This story is written in the style of a simple letter to Princess Twilight, because I couldn't think of a dirty and quick way to come up with a 2K word story. Hope you enjoy! Also, wish there was a "Wholesome" tag on here.)

(This story is part of "The Discovery" Project, being held by Miller Minus. I had another story in the works since January featureing the student Six but it's not likely to be released in time. Nor would it neccessarily fit the themes of the contests rules, though it is about the student six, and about Discovery.)

This story is a sequel to To Love as His Own

Following the defeat of Queen Chrysalis, the princesses of Equestria seek to build a relationship with newly-crowned King Thorax and forge an alliance between ponies and changelings that has never been seen before.

While the changelings adjust to the broad, sympathetic intricacies of shared love magic, Thorax works to embrace his role as the hive's new patriarch, demonstrating a benevolent rule far different from his predecessor. Through sleeping and resting together in groups, he aims to cultivate harmony and empathy in a once turbulent hive and find a place for himself within it at last.

With the help of Equestrian royalty, a few good friends, and his brooding older brother, Thorax must now champion the idea of peaceful changelings in Equestria and show the world that his kind can change more than just their looks.

Cup Cake knows what the pegasus mare is doing. She can see the way the filly is swaying her flawless body around Sugar Cube Corner. She can hear the flirty tones in the perfect voice as the mare sings her siren song to Carrot...
