Woken by a chill and finding himself quite bereft of blankets, he finds himself pondering the canyon that has appeared between he and his wife.

Twilight finds herself desperately seeking Uranus.

Because we all need to let our inner twelve year-old loose every once in a while. Posted in response to a challenge by MythrilMoth and all blame goes to him.

For over five-hundred years, The Pinion has been Equestria's premier news source. From Sombra's bloody enslavement of the Breezies to Nightmare Moon's personal preference for lingerie, no story is too big or too small to escape our notice.

How do you make someone realize that they love you? Pinkie Pie finds herself struggling with this simple conundrum, running and hiding every time the pony of her affections makes an appearance. After a long and unpleasant stay in a dumpster, however, Pinkie decides that enough is enough—it's time to take matters into her own hooves.

Now in addition to discovering her one true love she must deal with irate spouses, horny princesses, and what seems like more than half the ponies in Equestria, each clamoring for a piece of the action. But with her best pal Fluttershy at her side, Pinkie is confident that she can overcome any odds—all she needs to do is sneak away to find her first.

Surely things can't get any worse, can they?

Thanks to Kamikakushi, Regocomics, Rainedash, and -TGM- for being the pre-readers Pinkie needed.

As a favor to Twilight, Pinkie Pie goes to the Crystal Empire to help Princess Cadance plan her baby shower. Everything goes well... at least until one pony falls into a coma and another pony gets zapped back in time where she becomes a child's plaything.

It's a long story...

Not every family is perfect. Scootaloo knows that personally.

For a long time, Twilight could feel it; a sense of emptiness she couldn't explain. Now that she's a princess, that feeling is stronger than ever. She finally decides to bring the matter up with Celestia. In response, Celestia gives her an old book.

The contents of that book will change her perspective of the world... and her beloved mentor. Just accepting the truth is a challenge. And after that?

She has to make a decision.

Celestia: a filly of twelve. A cynical, hungry pauper, with a young sister to protect and feed.

But the food has run out. Winter has gripped the land for too long, and now the pair face starvation.

The cynic in Celestia knows she can't move the sun. But the child in her wonders... and so she tries.

R. Sweetie Belle leads a fulfilling life―her parents love her and she has several friends that she can count on when times get tough.

Like today, for instance, when she wakes up with a lump on her chassis.

Moxie gazed over the stallion in front of her, as the crowd stared at them in turn. Fellow nobles, dignitaries, and her parents had all gathered here, in the balmy mansion of her birth, to witness this occasion. The final words had been said, and they were now officially husband and wife. But she was not happy; this was not her wish.

She ran her hoof down the lock of blue hair entwined in her mane. Her whole life had been decided for her, everything coordinated to the tiniest detail. What she had learnt, how she spent her leisure, who she knew, whose company she enjoyed, whom she had pledged herself to, everything... except the one trip she had taken to Canterlot without the permission of her parents, that is. The glimmering blue strands linger as a testament to her last free action...
