When you need some advice with the ladies, you can always turn to your bros.

Bros got your back, bro.

A bromantic comedy.

Hearth’s Warming Eve is coming up, and Spike knows just what to give Rarity. The perfect gift, the gift that will impress his lady friend and nourish their budding relationship, is on his mind and within his price range. Nothing can possibly stop him, except for three little words that he’ll quickly come to dread: anonymous gift exchange.

As the world's first half-pony half-dragon hybrid, Crystal Clarity's life isn't always easy. Her parents are always fussing over her; annoying colts are always playing pranks on her; and, of course: she still has to go to algebra class. Still, Claire has found ways to deal with it all―after all, how bad can life be when you can cast spells and shoot fire?

As it turns out, pretty bad.

After a dare gone awry, Claire ends up losing one of her horns, robbing her of both her magical abilities and flame breath. Now, at the threat of being grounded until she's forty, she has to hide her injury from her parents, all the while dealing with uncontrollable smoke clouds, vindictive foals, and algebra. Oh, Celestia, the algebra.

This story takes place in Kilala97's next-gen universe. Although knowledge of this universe is definitely not required to enjoy this story, it is helpful.

Written for Kilala97's "Fun Fact" writing contest. Based on the fun fact: "Claire broke one of her horns once and was only able to cough up smoke for quite some time. Prism enjoyed that time very much because he could finally mess with her without getting burned in the end. She got him back when her horn healed."

Ever wonder who taught Sunset Shimmer to play the guitar? A simple awkward after-school encounter between her and Flash becomes a look back on their previous relationship, along with a revelation or two.

“Yes, Princess, I’m ready to use my magic for good instead of evil…most of the time.”

“I’ll leave the Elements with you, Twilight…just in case.”

Directly following the events of “Keep Calm and Flutter On” Discord and Celestia call each other out on these little ‘disclaimers’ and try to explain their words while still maintaining their new friendship. They soon agree on some interesting conditions for Discord’s recent reform, leading to the castle, some Royal Canterlot Voice from Luna, cake, and an interesting night and morning as Discord figures out how to relate to his former princess foes in a much less evil (if as obnoxious as ever) sort of way. He especially enjoys his new ‘friendly’ way of bothering Celestia.

Later, following Tirek’s defeat (and Discord’s final reform), the chaos master and the sun princess assess how their friendship has gone and where it might go from here. Luna throws in her two bits as well. Naturally, cake is eaten. And, of course, no matter how reformed he may become, Discord ‘loves’ teasing Celestia as much as ever…and it’s sort of grown on Celestia too.

(Rated Teen really only because of some suggestiveness, and I just want to err on the side of caution :) )

Letters. Everyone writes them, and they're not just for ponies. Be they carriers of serious news, friendly correspondence between pen pals, or declarations of heart and heartbreak, each one is written with a clear purpose or goal in mind.

Celestia uses them to try and keep her faithful student and friends in line, and try to keep an unbalanced world on the straight and narrow.

This is much harder than it sounds.

Now with an audio reading by Lady Tenkage!

The mane six are determined to avoid being shot by Cupid's arrow and falling in love on Hearts and Hooves Day, where Cupid tugs at those tied by the red string. Made all the more challenging since Cupid is a crack shot. Will the girls make it through Hearts and Hooves Day still single?

Has NOTHING to do with the pony pov series.

In the midst of a Hearth's Warming crisis, Rarity steals Spike away from Twilight to help resolve her dilemma. One lesson and two happenstances later, the situation leaves them somewhere neither of them could have predicted.

The first story in The Twelve Days of Ficmas. You can read the second one here. Happy holidays!

Thanks to Pinkie Pie for the stellar reading of this story!

An unnatural winter has fallen over Equestria, freezing the hearts of her ponies along with her roads. Angry shouts and screams fill the streets of the cities along, blending with the howls of the wind as snow piles over heads. Once again, Equestria must rely on Princess Twilight Sparkle and the former bearers of the Elements of Harmony as these six mares journey into the heart of the storm to discover the source and put an end to the eternal winter.

This is not their story.

This is a story about the ones waiting for their safe return.

Based in the kilala97 universe

Starburst, daughter of Princess Twilight Sparkle, soon meets Creme de la Creme, a mare who has come to Ponyville to visit Starburst's friend Golden Delicious. Starburst soon grows to dislike Creme. But she doesn't know why.
