Derpy explains her medical condition to her daughter.

Celestia and Luna have lived long and suffered greatly. Luna, still insecure in her newfound grace, is anxious to secure herself against any further suffering. She sees in Twilight Sparkle (and in many others) the roots of ten thousand tragedies. Celestia proposes a wager.

A very loose retelling of the Book of Job.

Twilight, a young alicorn at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, is interrupted in her studying by a fellow student who wants to know about some things that changed when she ascended. Before she knows it, she's telling her new acquaintance the tale of how she fell in love with magic, how her brother and the other Element Bearers helped her to rise up . . .

. . . and how she fell to dark magic and nearly destroyed them.

Loosely based on an old blog post by RealityCheck.

Ponies have spread to the stars thanks to advances in technology. In the advanced and luxurious Solar Explorer, Celestia travels to the first extra-solar colony world set up by her little ponies. Unfortunately, events elsewhere in the galaxy, unknown to them, have set in motion a cycle that has been repeated for countless eons… the reaping of sentient races. A Reaper dreadnought confronts the Solar Explorer, intent upon indoctrinating the leadership of the ponies and bringing them to heel.

Said Reaper quickly learns exactly why Celestia has earned the title Unconquered.

A Mass Effect crossover oneshot.

Changelings walk among us and we will never know who they are.

So of course Equestria's Intelligence Service went and recruited one as a special agent!

Before beginning the story proper, an explanation is called for.

I am one of those people who can't write except in a fit of inspiration. The story either writes itself or it doesn't get written at all. I'm afraid I've been very dry of this inspiration for a very long time now. But recently an idea has been invading my mind and refusing to let me rest. But unlike my usual practice, I have tried to resist it.

The reason for this is that this particular story simply doesn't fit any easy category. It is primarily a sequel to my previous story “Lauren Faust's 'IT!'” However, while that story was strictly for humor, this addendum is serious. I don't mean serious in any tragic way; I mean merely that this, though it continues the assumptions of the previous lark, is written as a serious fic.

This in itself is troublesome to me. The previous story (which of course you should read before reading this one) was written in opposition to “Cupcakes.” Since so many bronies were running with the idea that the happy, party-throwing, balloon-marked mare was concealing an unspeakable monster deep within herself, I made her the ultimate monster clown, Pennywise from Stephen King's 'IT!'” With one exception: that she's as sweet and good and kind as ever. Because I am adamantly opposed to evil Pinkie Pie, and if she were some sort of bizarre quasi-omnipotent entity of some sort, she would only use her powers for good. It was meant as a poke-in-the-eye to all the “evil Pinkie” stuff floating around on the web, because the “real” (canon) Pinkie Pie would never, ever, ever hurt anypony. She's the comic relief. Her powers are cartoon-character powers, and there's absolutely nothing sinister about her.

Now in this quasi-sequel OmniPinkie is still good and sweet, so my resistance to writing this was not out of any fear of harming her reputation any further in that regard. I have resisted for two reasons: 1)as a serious sequel to a parody fic, it defies classification. And 2)even as a good and benevolent character I don't want to start any “Omnipony” thing about Pinkie. It was to oppose that that I wrote the original story. But after so long being absent and with the idea refusing to leave me alone, I have determined to go ahead and try to write this down.

This is an unusual story, but I hope somewhere someone will enjoy it.

Thank you.

Cheerilee is somewhat a mystery to Ponyville's resident changeling, Bombshell. As he has spent his time hidden away, being extra careful ever since the wedding, he has been focusing on her. Why? Because she is the one pony completely universally loved in Ponyville. So he finally goes for the big one.

What could possibly go wrong?

This story is a sequel to Ponies are squishy

Catching a cold is nothing new to ponies. It's been a fact since as far back as anyone, even the Princesses can remember, that ponies get sick from time to time.

Thankfully, medical technology and research have made leaps and bounds. Gone are the days when leeches and garlic were used to treat symptoms. Now ponies have state of the art science and medicinal magic at their disposal.

And yet... the secrets of one esoteric, age old treatment continue to evade even the most practiced medical professionals:

How does a "Get well soon" card help a patient more than prescription-grade anti-depressants?! HOW?!

With how much ponies stumble, fall, crash, take hits, and get things dropped on them, you'd think they would... you know... actually get hurt.

Well it turns out there's a reason for that!

The reason: Ponies are squishy.
