After visiting her Great Aunt Apple Turnover in Galloping Gorge, Applejack is exhausted. She would love nothing better than to collapse underneath a tree and take a long nap. However, her athletic rival just happens to be passing by, and she's caught AJ in a rather compromising position. Or, has she?

My half of a trade with JazzieQ, who also provided the cover art.

Okay Sunset, you can do this. All you have to do is walk up to her and tell her how you feel. It's Valentine's Day, and Twilight isn't the type of girl to go out her way to embarrass someone. I can do this. I can do this. I...I...

Sunset convinces Twilight to spend a Christmas with her and the girls in their world so she could get a taste of what it's like while accidentally showing her one of the best parts of the holiday.

Featured on 12/17/14! *Dash voice* Aw yeah!

Rarity accidentally flushes Gummy down the toilet, and Pinkie Pie is not happy. Not happy at all.

A ghostly Pegasus who'd found redemption. A tortured writer saved from his own demons. A soldier drawn into a lewd position against his will. A young stallion with anxiety—and hormone—issues. An autistic foal without a cutie mark, or a care in the world. And a colt who learned, in the nick of time, that bullying can be a vicious cycle.

Six ponies, all characters exclusive to the world of the fans, gather just outside of Ponyville and discuss where their stories have taken them since being created. They talk about the perks, and the dangers, of having been made unofficial parts of the Equestrian mythos, and what being given life and place means in a harsh world. Philosophy, psychology, comparisons, and emotions are taken apart and studied, and it may all lead to the true meaning of being an original character.

A special one-shot written for my 500 followers, as well as in celebration of one full year on the site. Without you, I wouldn't have learned and done so much in this past year, and this story—and the characters in it—would not exist. Thank you all for reading.

Special thanks to the wonderful Salty Zebra for another great cover!

Fluttershy and Big MacIntosh are arguably Ponyville's cutest couple.

Their friends and family wonder, though, how the extremely shy pegasus and taciturn earth pony even ended up together, let alone how they stay together.

Fluttershy and Big Mac don't worry about it too much.

Shoutout to my boy White Jesus for managing to push this back into the feature box with his favorite literally like two minutes after it fell out, lol.

Giving the role of a council for the ponies to six special ponies seemed like a good idea. They even already had their own castle after all.
It seemed like a good idea.

Who says politics aren't fun?

A nonsensical one-shot.

A girl made a mistake.

Now she talks to her sister about it.

Since people are being put off by the title, I'll say it here. The title is not directly related to the fic's contents. Don't be expecting a story about someone dying. It's metaphorical, not literal.

Now with a reading by Short Stories. Click here to view.

After their defeat at the hands of the Rainbooms, the Sirens wanted to make a break for it, leave Canterlot, and regroup someplace else.

But with the authorities now onto them, that isn't an option.

Faced with being sent to juvy or worse, an orphanage, the Sirens are given an alternative they don't particularly like:

Being "rehabilitated" by their enemies.

At Principal Celestia's suggestion, the Sirens are separated from one another, and each is sentenced to live with one of the Rainbooms. Adagio is sent to live with Sunset Shimmer. Sonata is sent to live with Pinkie Pie.

Aria is sent to live with Fluttershy. One of these girls is in for a whole lot of trouble.

(A "dueling stories" fic exchange with Mirai-chan, inspired by Andrea Libman and Diana Kaarina playing twin sisters on Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures.)

Rated teen for language, innuendo, and hygiene topics.

Helping a lost filly find her way home should have been a walk in the park for Princess Twilight Sparkle, but this time things turned out to be a bit stranger than she was expecting.
