When Twilight and Applejack have a falling out over who can claim to have the best big brother, each will stop at nothing to prove theirs is better.

And their brothers will stop at nothing to make their sisters happy.

Twilight Sparkle is an expert in unicorn magic, but earth pony magic remains a mystery to her. The books in her library have very little information about the earth tribe's abilities, other than their famous strength. Twilight is determined to uncover their secrets.

What she learns will change her life.

And it just might change Applejack's life as well.

Defeated by Luna and Celestia, Discord found himself bound by the elements of harmony to a simple lamp. Trapped within it he has been sentenced to a lifetime of helping others, forced to grant three wishes to any pony who stumbles upon his prison. Of course as an expert spirit of chaos he delights in twisting these wishes to his own amusement circumventing the very nature of his intended punishment!

So why is that when a humble (but also great and powerful) showmare stumbles upon the lamp, Discord is so willing to put his past misdemeanors behind him and play nice? What fiendish punishment has reformed him? What horrors turned him down the path of good? Why does his eye twitch whenever he says the word birdseed?

A silly story written for laughs. Alternate Universe Tag is due to the elements turning Discord into a genie instead of stone, and for some creative interpretation of the intellect of a certain fictional species.

It was an average morning in Ponyville. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the changeling was swimming in the pool.... wait what?

Blue Sky, an aspiring pilot, has had a crush on Sunset Shimmer for most of high school. When assigned as partners for a class project, he sees a chance to help them get a good grade... and maybe even a date in the process.

The portal between Equestria and Sunset Shimmer’s world has closed unexpectedly. Despite Twilight and Sunset’s best efforts, the girls have been unable to come up with a solution. Running low on pages to talk across the dimensional rift, Twilight reads what might be Sunset’s final message to her. However much to Twilight’s surprise, there’s also another message to a different pony.

Inspired by a conversation with Tired Old Man and the story The Last Page, with apologies to Holy.

Lost, starving, and hunted by the law, a lonely changeling finds a traveling entertainer who he plans on using to restore his energy by extracting as much love out of her as possible.

Too bad his target turns out to be Trixie.

After a brief violent encounter and some mutual blackmail, the two of them decide to perform together in front of the town to raise enough bits and love for them each to go their separate ways.

It works out better than they expected.

The greatest trick the Great and Powerful Trixie ever performed was convincing all of ponykind that she was only ever a mere unicorn.

Years later, Princess Celestia and Trixie have a discussion by Twilight Sparkle's grave.

Inspired by the cover art, drawn by crenaiir. Not canon to Season 6 ending and post-Season 6.

During her time-twisting battle with Starlight Glimmer, Twilight finds herself in an Equestria ruled by a tyrant alicorn that calls herself the Queen of Equestria. In this world, Twilight's friends are gone and beyond her aid, and Equestria's citizens live in fear of their ruler's wrath should they anger her.

But no one has ever seen the pony who suffers the most in this world.

I like my job, but of course I look forward to coming home at the end of the day. Especially lately. We have a daughter now. We actually have a daughter. And I can’t wait to see her.
