Saddled with nearly a billion bits of debt, the Flimflam brothers and Trixie have come to the conclusion that gainful employment is a sucker's game. With the Crystal Empire recently rediscovered after a thousand years, though, it is possible that another ancient city, lost for about as long, might be about to re-emerge. Of course, when it does, the Elements of Harmony will doubtless be dispatched - but if they could just find it first, they might be able to reap the rewards before they show up.

The chances of failure resulting in humiliation and/or death are high; the chances of musical numbers, equally so; but they have to try. The alternative - working - is just too terrible to comprehend.

(This is a sequel to Flim and Flam Save an Orphanage, but that story probably isn't required reading if you're good at picking things up from context. Just know that it's set early in Season 3 and that the events of Magic Duel did not and will not happen, and the rest should be easy to work out.)

Flim, of the world-famous Flimflam brothers, has just been paroled from the dungeon. Reunited with his brother, Flam, and their old friend, Trixie, they have learned that their childhood home is in imminent danger. Compelled by one or more of the Royal Pony Sisters to raise an honest fifty thousand bits in just a few days, and without the aid of the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, can they indeed redeem themselves?

High-speed carriage chases, musical numbers (both random and planned), rap battles, widespread property damage, consumption of intoxicating and/or hallucinogenic substances, arson, and generalized disturbances of the peace may all turn out to be necessary.

Not MERELY a Blues Brothers fusion. In my opinion. However, the pre-reading board of Equestria Daily disagrees in the strongest possible terms. They do, however, admit that it is "not poorly written."

Marble Pie is a shy, quiet mare that rarely speaks and almost never makes eye contact. Rainbow Dash is known for being outspoken and assertive. When Pinkie's sisters -- including Marble -- come to Ponyville for a visit, Rainbow Dash somehow gets set up on a date with Marble Pie.

Do the two have a rock solid foundation that a relationship can be built on? Or will the entire thing crash and burn?

(despite the art, the story is not anthro. image created by How Do Ponies Work? which gave me the idea for the story.)

This story is a sequel to The Second Pony in Space

Long ago, Starswirl the Bearded created a time travel spell. Nopony has ever traveled through time without the use of that spell. Except for one.

Rainbow Dash has returned to Equestria, and nothing makes sense. She knows the pegasus that visited her, but if Rainbow had been gone for ninety two years, she should be dead. And she knows that purple unicorn, but she should be an alicorn and look different. Her dragon should look different too.

But Nightmare Moon returns, and Rainbow and her new friends need to go obtain the Elements of Harmony to stop her from causing eternal night. But Rainbow doesn't want to send Princess Luna back to the moon again, and needs to show why she represents the Element of Loyalty.

Loyalty isn't always easy for everypony, but maybe Rainbow can make it look like it is...

This is the second story in the Shadow-Dashverse. Reading the previous story is highly recommended to understand what's going on.

There have been multiple disappearances in Ponyville; ponies missing without any explanation. The investigation into these disappearances seem to have found nothing, and the Equestrian Bureau of Investigation has long ended the search for these ponies.

Rainbow Dash has had enough of this cover-up nonsense, and wants answers. She suspects there is more to these missing ponies reports and decides to become an EBI agent.

Strife has been building between Princess Celestia and Princess Luna for years, differences in opinion on ruling have finally caused them to part ways. Realizing that Princess Luna and Princess Celestia aren't perfect, and have both made questionable choices, even if they have all turned out alright, and seeing the argument that caused the final rift between the sisters have led Twilight to also succeed from Equestria.

Now Twilight must rally the ponies of Equestria under her banner, and hope to bring peace and harmony to a land that is beginning to shatter from the strain of a three-way civil war.

Three hundred years after Luna's banishment, Equestria is at a shaky peace, its borders protected by the Equestrian Armed Forces from several hostile races, from raiding Diamond Dogs to the increasingly aggressive Gryphons. Incidents are many, and tensions rise as the newly unified Gryphon Empire sets its sights on the lands and riches of its pony neighbors.

In this troubled time, a young pegasus orphan named Firefly comes of age. A born warrior, her name will one day be known as not just the founder of the Wonderbolts, but as one of Equestria's greatest heroes...

Set in the same universe as the Turnabout Storm novelization but taking place seven hundred years before, this is the story of Rainbow Dash's ancestor, the origin of the Wonderbolts, and the coming of the Great Pony/Gryphon War. Also referenced by multiple stories in the Gentlemanverse.

Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust are Navy pilots. When a string of minor accidents cause a disturbance on the flight deck and a group of suspicious sailors catch their attention, the two of them wonder if it's more than just a coincidence. With nothing better to do, the dynamic duo become rookie detectives in matters they have no business investigating.

One's a brash, heavily caffeinated hothead that plays by her own rules. So's the other one. They're bored.

Cowritten with Anonymous Assassin

It’s been a month since Principal Cinch was fired from Crystal Prep Academy, and things are looking bleak. In her absence, the school has split into two factions: the Defectors, a bunch of thugs who will fight for Cinch’s return by any means necessary; and the Changelings, enforcers for the newly appointed Principal Chrysalis. As insults, threats, and even fists fly between the two groups, it seems like Crystal Prep is ready to become a battleground.

Only the Shadowbolts, who witnessed the magic of friendship first hand, are willing to stand up to either group. But with tensions growing and more and more students getting hurt, can the Shadowbolts save their school and transform it into the utopia they know it can be? Or is Crystal Prep doomed to fall back into hatred and cruelty?

(This was an idea that I was inspired to write after doing a Roleplay with someone on this site.)

Two years had passed since Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had started dating. Today was the day they agreed to start a family. This day was going to start a brand new beginning to their relationship. And they couldn't be happier when their foal was born.

But a mishap starts when Fluttershy reveals something. Something so innocent that it could break their family before it even started, and possibly, their relationship.

How could she hope to break such innocence?
