Twilight invites Ryan over to the Library for a standard 'read and chill' session that the two have with some regularity. This time, Twilight, has other plans; plans that she hopes will have a much more raunchy end to them.

It goes about as well as one would expect.

A short, simplistic oneshot.

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.

Pinkie tries to talk with her sisters about the Hearth's Warming Eve they just celebrated.

Huh, so that's why she moved out.

Edited for clarity after feedback.

Do my eyes deceive me? Second page of Popular Stories?

After the Changelings got flung out of Canterlot, one of them brought a Guardspony with them. When they crash into a deep cave, both of them end up crippled and unable to leave the cave and all they have is eachother to count on for survival.

Upped the rating and added "Sex" tag because of language in the later chapters.

Featured on 2015/10/25. Thank you guys!

After the events of the first Apple/Pie Hearth's Warming celebration, two ponies wish to spend a little time getting to know each other better.

Ever since visiting the Pie farm, Big Macintosh has had rocks on his mind.

The latest episode just kind of demanded that I write this.

Thanks to Jordanis for the swift and grammatical editing!

Derpy is a loving sister, a sweet marefriend, and over all a nice pony. She loves the Doctor, and all of his inventions. One morning, she 'accidentally' activates a spying device, and temptation casts its spell on her...

Join Derpy as she sees the princesses, the mane six, and all of Ponyville when they think they're alone... Mwahaha...

Dear Diary,
Today was mine and Lulu's 5th and 4th Birthdays. As a present, our mommy gave us magic diaries, and only we can open them. Daddy got us sparkly pink and blue magic horseshoes, he says they'll glow whenever he thinks of us, but they haven't stopped glowing yet, so I don't know if they really work or not...
Mommy is a multicorn, and so is daddy. Mommy has a shiny white coat, like mine, and three unicorn horns, along with great big translucent butterfly wings, a mane of fire, and deep green eyes. People call her Queen Solara, but Luna and I call her mommy.
Daddy has a mars black coat, blue eyes, and a silver mane with grey spots, like the moon. They take turns spinning the earth, mommy during the day, and daddy at night, they also use magic gems to even out the movement and intensity of their celestial body, they're in their chest plates.
Mommy is telling me to get ready for bed, goodnight diary!
