This is the result of a self-imposed writing challenge.

In my ongoing quest to improve my writing ability, or prove my insanity, the challenge was to write 48 stories from TMP prompts in a single 24 hour period, just to see if it could be done.
It ran from midnight to midnight.
Aside from choosing a list of prompts beforehand, there was no preplanning.

Here is what resulted from this experiment. Not sure how good these are going to be.

Shining Armor awakens one night to find a baby pony/changeling on his doorstep. A baby that is apparently his as well as Chrysalis's. Can he keep Cadance in the dark? Can Twilight help him? Is the queen changeling herself going to make an appearance? How many OCs will there be? Will everypony be in character? Who will cameo? And most importantly, was he technically cheating?

Read and find out.

Sequels contain spoilers. As in you will spoil the twist if you even look at the sequel.

I see you scrolling down. Stop that.

Do remember that this is my first writing so be sparing.

Set in PonyEarthverse *Now part of canon!*

Just when things couldn't be weirder with people on Earth randomly turning into ponies and the week now being the length of a year, the next unsuspecting and unassuming victim of Discord's game wakes as the pony Amethyst Star! Initially intent to confront the Princesses for answers in New York, he (now she) changes plans after an incident where some members of an anti-pony hate group decide to go to far more extreme lengths to get their 'message' across. Deciding to fight back with a message of her own, Amethyst resurrects an heroic symbol from the series long gone but not forgotten...

When the main six find themselves in our world, it is up to one high school student to protect them from forces that want to exploit them and the portal to Equestria for their own needs.

It's been 6 years after the birth of Princess Skyla. Sadly, she can't spend time with any of the royals since they've all been very busy lately this week, especially her parents Cadence & Shining Armor! Seeing this, Twilight Sparkle decides to have teenage Spike look after her since she's found no-more use for his services after she became independent but refuses to send him away! Spike accepts the challenge and becomes great friends with Skyla! I shipped Spike with Octavia in this story!

Diamond Tiara has lived most of her life without a mother and with one friend. How do you keep going when all you have is lies and a mask not knowing if dad has left you enough bits for you to buy dinner or if he will even be home before you are asleep?

This story follows an alternate line of events, a parallel universe known as the Spiteverse, in which Discord successfully separates the mane six. Twilight moves to Canterlot with the intent of becoming the new ruler.

Princess Twilight Sparkle travels to the Crystal Empire to visit her brother, Cadance, and their new foals, Il Bolero di Fuoco (better known as Bolero), and Gleaming Shield. When her train ends up derailed due to the snowstorm, she ends up somehow trapped in an ice cave, in a raging blizzard, with none other than Flash Sentry. Can these two star-and-dimension-crossed lovebirds thaw out the chilly Frozen North with their love, or are they doomed to freeze to death wandering aimlessly through the snow and hail? When Shining Armour finds out his sister's going out with a royal guard, can he accept it for the love that it is? Or will he totally flip a table?

The song "Vanilla Twilight" belongs to Owl City.

BEFORE ANYPONY ASKS, YES, "IL BOLERO DI FUOCO" MEANS "THE BOLERO OF FIRE" IN ITALIAN. I LIKE TO PLAY ZELDA GAMES, SHUT UP, GO AWAY, IT'S A BADASS NAME FOR A PONY.

Today is Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 500th birthday, and her most faithful student, an earth pony with a familiar name, can’t wait to celebrate!
