The Pies and Apples gather around the hearth to trade Hearth's Warming stories. The Pies share their most cherished tale, that of how the rock farm came to be.

It's time once again for Nightmare Night and the citizens of Ponyville are ready for another night of candy, costumes, ghost stories, and more. After Twilight Sparkle taught her the true meaning of Nightmare Night one year prior, Princess Luna takes the day off from her royal duties and joins in the festivities. But when Ponyville suddenly comes under attack by a mysterious force, Luna is discovered missing in the aftermath. What's more, this force is being commanded by a malicious creature wielding a terrible power that the ponies have actually heard of, but know nothing about.

Once again, Twilight and her friends must take up the Elements of Harmony in defense of everything they hold dear, but if Equestria is to have any real hope of surviving against this force, the ponies must first unravel the mysteries of the power that threatens them.

The time-stamp for Act 1 - The First Adventure is wrong. I revised it and re-released it on 3/1/15.

Starswirl has invented the perfect time travel spell. With it, he can visit anytime, anyplace throughout all of history. Celestia, deciding that his new spell is a terrible idea, tries to prevent him from using it before he does something ridiculous. Unfortunately, the first thing he decides to mess with is all of history. After all, nothing can go wrong when you're fixing all of your forefathers' mistakes.

Enormous thanks goes to my editor, AlicornPriest. Cover art was done by the amazing xoxPinkiePiexox

Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.

She doesn't anymore.

Dedicated to Annuska for being as amazing a writer as she is a friend.

Now a physical book!!!

Based on an old oneshot.

Princess Luna gets trapped inside a text based adventure game, and the only way out is to win.

Let the games begin.

Cover art is not mine and will be taken down/changed upon request. Or maybe I'll just trace over it, because apparently that makes it original, right? /sarcasm

Candle Light, a safety inspector from the alicorn homeland, is sent to Ponyville on an important mission to assess Princess Twilight's fire safety regulations.

Pinkie Pie gets the wrong impression.

Hilarity ensues.

This story was written as part of a Rage Reviews contest to see who could write the best story featuring a red-and-black alicorn OC as the protagonist.

Adorable cover art by Enderstorm!

The Legend of Starswirl the Bearded has always been a mystery, but when Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Bell find that they were destined to be his best friend. Let's just say the three fillies who have always struggled in school get first hand knowledge in history.

Time is running out. A thousand years have passed and Celestia could feel her strength fading. She would need to choose quickly - choose someone who would inherit her power. And who none better than the one she had looked over for the past couple decades? However, she's very sure that Twilight would not like to hear what the ultimate cost of it is.

Now with an audio reading by AJ the Autistic Pony and friends!

Chapters ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, and SEVEN available now!

Applejack and the Apple family are prepared for a visit from their best-kept secret—Applejack's autistic younger brother, Calvados. "Cal" comes home from a special school in Fillydelphia, and during his visit, the Mane 6 must try to make him feel welcome in spite of his differences. With the Apple family's usual work and an upcoming celebration making the whole town busy, this will soon prove to be a difficult test of friendship and teamwork.

But not nearly as difficult for anypony as for Applejack.

Above all else, the Apple family makes time for, and takes pride in, family. Applejack struggles to keep this in mind, reminding herself that her decisions were for his benefit. However, even a pony as morally strong as Applejack can't keep hiding her guilt, and she resolves to fight back the shame of having a brother with autism. Meanwhile, Cal struggles to adjust to his stay in Ponyville, but if he can avoid the panic and stress—something no autistic colt can take lightly—AJ's little brother may just surprise her. And himself.
