Our proud showmare found herself down on her luck after the events of Boast Busters. What will the Great & Powerful Trixie do?

Days after Tirek's near-takeover of Equestria, The Great And Powerful Trixie travels to Ponyville, intent on settling her rivalry with Twilight Sparkle once and for all. No trinkets to fudge her abilities, no megalomania to apologize for -- just pure and simple magician's honor!

Upon her arrival, however, she quickly learns that the information she has on Ponyville -- and Twilight -- is more than a little dated.

With no job, and no home this was looking like it was going to be the worst Hearth's Warming yet. That was until she got a letter inviting her to spend the holiday at the rock farm.

There is a sequel here: Home is Where the Hearth Is

After all the problems that Trixie has been through she is now finally starting to get her life together until one day she is summoned by Princess Twilight. Twilight tells Trixie of the greatness she has accomplished for her new kindness but that will not change her completely. She is tasked by the Princess of friendship to accomplish a feat of true love and kindness to prove that she has truly changed for the better. After leaving to attend her quest Trixie devises a plan to prove her new image after speaking with the cutie mark crusaders, and decides to adopt the young Scootaloo. Will her plan work out for her, or will there be more difficulties then she had originally planned.

Ever since Sombra's defeat, the Crystal Empire has revered "the Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious" as a hero and a savior. When he (and guests) are invited to the first Crystal Ball in over a millennium, Twilight expects to hear that endearingly overblown title all night.

She's half-right.

A refined entry in the November 2014 Writeoff Competition. Prompt: "Title Drop." Takes place between Seasons 4 and 5.

Coming out with the news of their relationship to their parents and friends had been easy; now there was only one pony left to tell, and the little filly was not planning on making the process easy for the Princess of Friendship.

Only a small number of bat ponies remained in Equestria after the disaster of Nightmare Moon. The majority fled, not trusting the nation after being betrayed by their own Princess. But with Luna's thousand year exile having come to a close, it is time for them to rejoin the fold, and no pony is better suited for negotiating that task than the Princess of Friendship herself.

However, when the captain of your escort is Indigo Zap, who suffers from a severe case of Lust At First Sight, and has an ego to put Rainbow Dash's to shame, things get a little more complicated than merely healing millennium-long tensions.

They fell from the sky, only to have their landing broken by flowers carefully tended to by a crystal pony. The pony was scared away. They were scared stiff, but there was no running. The pony world they found themselves in was very real. Their choices would count against them...

I will try to keep it interesting and amusing. Think I did a good or bad job? Let me know! I love comments, loving or scathing, just speak.
