You know how it goes. You're just having a relaxing Sunday with the girls, who all are accomplished magic users in their own right, one thing leads to another, and suddenly you're all involved in a high stakes game of rocket chicken.

Part of the MAD verse.

Thanks to Steel Resolve for his edits and suggestions and special thanks to Nova Quill/Firimil for her edits, sugestions. Also thanks to Nova Quill and DrakeyC for the story prompt!.

And finally, thanks to jhayarr23 for the wonderfully done and hilarious cover art.

Rainbow Dash doesn't get hurt often, but this time it's pretty bad and the doctors are making sure that she doesn't make it any worse. Thus, she's been given the dreaded cone of shame. The doctors have also asked you to help her get around and carry on with her daily life. You're a good friend to her (and just a friend), so that should be easy, right?

Done as a commission for Flutterpriest, who likes cute things.

Art by steffy-beff, go and give their work some love.

You are Anon, a human living in Equestria. Your good friend Rarity has suggested, or rather forced you, to work at the Ponyville Day Spa as a masseuse. This won't get awkward, right? Right? Right?!

Twilight - with one thing leading to another - has rather talked herself into a corner with her Canterlot friends, and now requires Anon's help in straightening it out maybe.

It's all very awkward, if she's being honest, but he's a happy-go-lucky-chap and what's the worst that can happen, really?

When a certain drake find himself leaving home for a life of adventure, Twilight Sparkle finds herself in need of an assistant. While most would consider it the highest of honors working under any other princess, there's a problem with the newly-anointed alicorn.

She's absolutely, unapologetically, absurdly crazy.

Here are her adventures, as well as the adventures of her new assistant, who desperately wished he had ignored what father's advice and went into the profession of stripping.

After a solo expedition turns bad, Trixie finds herself trapped on a volcano with no way to escape, and no hope of rescue.

This story is based on a Magic: the Gathering card that was randomly generated using the RoboFoME random card generator. It was originally written for SirNotAppearingInThisFic's Unhinged collection, but we decided to publish it separately instead, for Fimfiction-related reasons.

Rated T for vaguely dark themes.

This is the story of Trixie Lulamoon - a talented blue pony who has been utterly broken by tragedy. She is doing her best to save the world from an invading army of darkness, but it's not going very well. Equestria has refused to forgive her for her role in the death of Twilight Sparkle, and wants her to die. The surviving members of the Mane 6 are cold and bitter, and healing their spirits is not going to be easy. In fact, it may take a great deal more than a wounded Trixie has to give.

But the fate of everypony really does depend on her. Like it or not, Trixie is the new Element of Magic, and she is the only one who can defeat the Necromancer and his army of undead spectrals. If she can't find a way to restore harmony to Equestria, the dead will rule the living - and the night will last forever.

[Note: character tags are for the entire story, not necessarily chapter 1.]

Maud hadn't been aware that the end of the world is only hours away. It is inconvenient, too, because she is out in the field studying rocks.

With only her pet rock Boulder at her side, she has to prevent the inevitable. Will she be able to face the hardest enemy of them all - social interaction - and save the day?

“This is an amazing idea, and it was pulled off very well.” (ocalhoun, official review for the EFNW 2015 Writing Contest)

“This has a nice Terry Pratchett feel about it [...]. Maud is excellent, depicted perfectly, and hilarious in her usual stoic way.” (The Hat Man)

“Did you just make me feel proud of a character I previously didn't even care about?” (PinkiePieIsBestPonyMoFo)

Cover by me.

Maud takes to the stage to some stand-up comedy. It's as simple as that.

Also, some Trixie/Maud shipping.

Since her defeat at the hooves of Twilight Sparkle, Trixie has again taken to laboring on a rock farm. She is a good worker, even by Maud Pie’s standards. The days are long, hot, and boring. But all of that is about to change when a certain magical artifact is unearthed by the show pony.

Note: The magical artifact Trixie finds is based on the Dungeons and Dragons item called a “Rod of Wonder.” This rod is a magical device that whenever used, casts a magical spell that is completely random. The authors used a “Rod of Wonder Generator” from this website.
