First Contact. It was all over the news, how could it not be? A station could be heard, if one tuned into the right AM station. It played on repeat. It came from outside this world. Was it in peace? What did it mean?
Applejack storms into the Town Hall, glaring at any pony that so much as glances her way. "Where's that mayor?!" She stomps with each step, tail lashing on her way to Mayor Mare's office. She expects satisfaction, and swears she will leave with it.
The Second Age Of Unity is still coming up with historical firsts. For example, Izzy represents the only time when most of a city took out a restraining order.
Flurry understands that most first-time parents can be somewhat obsessive about documenting their filly's early years. She still thinks her father may have taken things a little too far.
An infant human is found and raised by ponies, but how will he deal with the inherent issues of being a decidedly unnatural being in a supernatural world? A coming of age story. Mostly Wholesome. First in the Hugz saga.
With a snap, a flash, and the sizzle of ozone, the scientists gaped at their creation. It had four hooves and wore goggles. "Sup," she greeted, stepping down from her stool with a swish of her tail. "This place looks kinda cool."
Twilight is the master of friendship. At least she thinks she is. When she learns about a new type of friendship, she drives herself crazy to find out what it means.
A few days after the events of 'Crusaders Of The Lost Mark', an apoplectic Spoiled Rich goes to Twilight to shout at her. A lot. This should be interesting... let's eavesdrop, shall we?
Raven Inkwell was the loyal secretary of the princess, but then a new princess came along. She'd have to learn a new place in Equestria to be useful, and deal with an old princess at the same time.
Twilight discovers, as ruler of Equestria, she is the one that makes the law and the one that is the last word of what the existing ones mean. Their wording feels a bit outmoded as cases come before her.
The Pony of Shadows, locked up in Limbo again after being so rudely expelled from Stygian a literally unknowable amount of time ago, receives a visitor.
At nine years old, Riko Saikawa knows exactly what her future is: a lifetime spent with Kanna Kobayashi. And it certainly doesn't include putting up with some stupid foreign kid named 'Spike'.
Who knew that reading those books on advanced pony robotics would have such a quick turnaround? He'd sacrificed everything! Weeks of videogames! Weeks of new movies! Weeks of comics! All of it, worth every moment for his new creation.
So you're the mysterious, previously-unsuspected seventh Element of Harmony? What a coincidence! So is everypony else in this holding cell! And for every fake, there's a story...
Cadance always wanted a sister. She just didn't expect it to involve so many angry cultists with plans to get rid of her. The young princess must face her dark reflection. Could only one of them escape? There were better solutions...
Rarity's first moons back in Ponyville after leaving school have her still trying to catch up on the events she missed -- like the arrival of a certain apprentice baker. And until now, neither knew the other existed.
Rarity's mark has told her who she's meant to be, and she's spent too long postponing her chance to become that pony. However, it's never given her any hints on just how she's supposed to do it. Maybe her first trade show will help -- in some way.
Applejack and Pinkie have barely seen each other since Applejack's parents died. Pinkie is willing to do anything to get some time where she can help her only friend... and that friend will do anything to never leave the Acres again.
Long before Nightmare and Elements, primary school students Rarity & Applejack were forced to cooperate in order to defeat the most fearsome foe ever imagined: a teenager.
As facts go, Celestia can always remember 'Why don't we let first-year Gifted School students have a project fair?' is a horrible idea. Everypony else usually needs about eighty years to forget that.
After Rainbow Dash accidentally says the wrong two words to exactly the wrong unicorn, she learns a lesson about the power of language -- in more than one way.
When some ponies look at the Bearer of an Element, the Element is all they see. Fluttershy surely has no choice but to be kind, every time, no matter what. A belief which encourages that kindness to be abused.
Sunburst was the official crystaler. It was his job to help care for the young princess, and he had grown used to and even enjoyed the task. It was a pity, if one asked Flurry Heart, that he lacked a little trait that'd make him the best foalsitter.
Flitter thinks Fluttershy is the weakest pony in the world. Flitter has never confronted what Fluttershy's job really means. Nopony ever wants to or should. Now Flitter has to. And 'weak' will turn out to be exactly the wrong word.
When Fluttershy is away on an Element-Bearer mission, she has a first choice for substitute caretaker: Snowflake. He can handle just about everything the job requires. Except for -- the rabbit.
Scootaloo's living situation on the Acres is strictly temporary. Her parents will arrive to resolve things any day now. And then maybe Applejack will learn what 'responsibility' really means.
The smallest movement from the most stable tectonic plate can produce an earthquake large enough to shake the world. On a related note, Applejack just asked Snowflake out on a date.
Trotting in endless circles while searching for an empty space tends to focus the mind. Rarity & Pinkie just don't have much influence over the subjects.
There are those who say that darkness makes the world close in. Spike, who once spent a sleepless night walking at Luna's side, knows the truth as something opposite.
The variable nature of autumn makes it impossible for a dignified mare like Rarity to properly dress for the weather. Clearly the thing to do is altering the schedule through breaking into Rainbow's office. Isn't that right, Twilight?
What's the difference between a prison with a lock and a prison with a door? Discord's student feels it's something her mentor should be able to answer -- but there are some things which Tish has to figure out for herself.
When Twilight Sparkle brought the human internet to Equestria, among the many consequences, there was one she hadn’t anticipated: Princess Celestia falling for e-mail scams.
Sunny's good at having BIG ideas. And when it comes to the one which says 'We should have a school for magic' (which also helps her 'part-time alicorn' issues)? Somepony needs to stop her. Quickly.
She was a fresh college grad with a shiny degree in social work and got a basic job where she can work towards helping people through tough times, hoping to become a renowned therapist or counselor. Pity her Halloween costume gets her to Equestria.
When a new mission for the Element-Bearers (from an unexpected source) arrives three weeks after Twilight's ascension, she finds herself forced to confront a pair of questions: what truly makes an alicorn? And what happens if it goes wrong?
Sprout knows that if ponies are afraid of something, the world is a better place. And if he's going to be restored to power, they need to be scared by something new. Hey, didn't Sunny's dumb father say something about an 'Ursa'...?
For some reason, Twilight and Rainbow Dash's friends think they're dating even if they show absolutely no signs of doing so! They were just really close friends...
Something is strange about Vinyl Scratch. Strange enough that Ponyville's resident mare in black takes notice, and when she can't ignore it anymore, Bon Bon decides to take action and investigate.
One supply of affection, divided three ways, means less love for Diamond. That's just obvious. And it's why her daddy can't be allowed to start dating. Now if she can just figure out how to save him...
