We all wear a mask called composure, beneath which hides a heart that twists with guilt and hidden feelings. Regal as she is, Princess Celestia is no exception. What might be revealed should circumstances cause this mask to slip - or break?

Set several years after the potential conclusion to the series.

Ever since the events of his birthday, Spike has feared and suppressed his species' natural behavior. However, when one chains the beast too long, natural tendencies tend to break loose. Spike, along with his friends, must discover a way for Spike to control his natural behavior and continue to live alongside the ones he loves. But is this possible?

Which is more powerful: nature or nurture?

After leaving on a second pilgrimage to find himself, Spike returns to Ponyville, physically larger and sporting an impressive array of skills and powers.

His plans for a calm life in Ponyville, however, takes a different path as he soon finds himself the desire of several ponies interests, friends old and new included.

Change breeds benefits, as the saying goes. Spike has yet to hear it ring true.

This is a realistic view on how shipping would actually happen in the show. Almost every pony has been shipped with everypony else, but this is what would actually happen if two ponies ever attempted at a relationship.

...

No offense to any shippers, even though you shouldn't take any. If anypony would like to see any other shippings done on this fic, just leave a comment. Maybe I'll write it if I feel like it.

Many years after sending her beloved protege to Ponyville, unease sits heavily on Princess Celestia's heart as her relationship with Twilight Sparkle seems to have cooled despite all they've accomplished together. On the advice of her sister, Celestia sets out to investigate and resolve the lost connection with her most faithful student. What does it mean to be a Faithful Student...or a Princess of the Sun?

Earned a six-star rating on Equestria Daily and featured on its very own TVTropes page!.

While practicing for an upcoming play, Rarity gets too in character and kisses Twilight. The most logical thing for her to do would be to just let this go, but for some reason she can't. Yet trying to figure things out just creates more confusion for the six mares. They must now figure out the answer to a question they have long been avoiding. When does friendship end and something more begin?

As for which pairs will be shipped a better question is which pairs won't be? Further which couples will make it through to the end? There's only one way to find out.

Years ago, in Equestria, there was a combat racing league known as the WipEout Anti-Gravity Racing League. After some issues with corruption in the sport's officials, though, Princess Celestia was forced to shut down the entire league. However, at Luna's urging, she's bringing it back - just in time for Twilight and her friends to get involved.

This story takes place approximately 15-20 years in the future from the current FiM universe, and borrows canon and concepts from WipEout 2048 and WipEout HD/Fury. Yes I'm aware that those two games are, in the WipEout universe, on the opposite ends of the in-universe chronology. I apologize in advance to die-hard WipEout fans if I muck up some canon, as the only games I've played are Pure, Pulse, HD/Fury, and 2048, and my only other knowledge of the in-universe canon is a "WipEout canon in 10 minutes" video from YouTube.

A short story about how to find inspiration. Rarity is struggling to come up with a good dress idea and consults Twilight for help.

Summer Sun Celebration is coming, and it is up to Princess Celestia's favorite student, an Earth Pony named Pinkie Pie, to supervise the preparations. Oh yes, there's also an ongoing rumor about Nightmare Moon's return, but who would worry about that you silly filly!

Princess Celestia sends her pupil (along her dragon sidekick Spike) to Ponyville where the Party Pony Extraordinaire will meet with five other ponies. Let's hope that nothing will interrupt the party, like a lunar ancient evil party crasher. Nah, everything will be just fine.

Alternate version of "Friendship is Magic" with the Mane 6 playing different parts. Contains lots of silly references!

Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack each share their thoughts on that fateful day eleven years ago to a journalist from the Ponyville Courier.
