While she's providing veterinary care at the park, Fluttershy runs afoul with one of the more domesticated critters.

...Fluttershy would never kick a puppy on purpose, would she?

Dramatic reading here!

For as long as any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders can remember, Diamond Tiara had always been the biggest bully they knew. But when that said bully dies in an accident, each of them starts to go through their own emotional experience from this sudden change in their lives. Each will learn more about themselves and about the pony who they all thought they knew before she is laid to rest.

***Takes place just after season 3 but before season 4. This story is completed.***

Now with TV Tropes page

After her face and body are permanently scarred, Rarity seals herself off in her room with the lights off and drapes drawn, too disgusted by her own appearance to be seen. The only comfort she has comes in the form of daily visits from Spike, though she keeps the room dark to hide her deformities from the baby dragon. Can he convince her that she has nothing to fear; that her beauty is not limited to what she looks like?

My entry for the Feature Box Crusaders' Contest due on March 20th.

This is the story of a young pegasus stallion, or you specifically. After the passing of your mother, and your ever increasing distant father, your brother has never felt safe in the cloud home. Afraid of heights and normal life in Cloudsdale, you decide to abandon your former life to start a new one on the ground, in a town called Ponyville. While there you find a cute mare that runs the local post office who goes by the name of Ditzy Doo.

Twilight and her friends are invited to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take an air-cruise around Equestria, while being treated like royalty aboard the so-called "unpopable" Airborne Express as they drift through the skies of Equestria and experience the bliss of air travel at its finest. That is, until the entire Airborne Express population find themselves approaching a deadly rainstorm...

A lighthearted parody of the classic theatrical tragedy.

WARNING: Contains sexually intimate shipping. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Author's Note: As you know, there are sixteen main characters in this story (Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, Big Macintosh, Granny Smith, Fancypants and Fleur de Lis). The characters presented below are the most prominent in the story. Even though a character not pictured below has significance in one part does not mean they are significant to the whole story.

Also, just because a character is pictured below does not mean that they are to be shipped into an inexistent relationship or shipped out of their canon relationship (i.e. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor). Their presence below is dictated by their role in the story as a whole, not for the "sexytimes."

*Cover art is subject to change...I can't find any good human Mane Six artwork on my computer at this time.

The Vanu Sovereignty has found an ancient alien complex beneath the surface of Auraxis. The data they extracted from this object contains information about the highly advanced civilization that once populated Auraxis, the very same civilization that was directly responsible for the creation of the Sovereignty, and many of its technological advances. The High Priestess, the leader of the Vanu, takes this discovery and the information to be a sign. A sign that if the population of Auraxis is to survive, they must leave the planet and take to the stars.

The fascist Terran Republic is hot on the Sovereignty's heels. They want what the Vanu have, and they will stop at nothing to get it. Some have speculated that the Vanu may have finally found the coordinates of the lost home world of the human race; Earth.

The New Conglomerate, a collection of megarich corporations and capitalist enterprises, is willing to fund and assist the Vanu Sovereignty after the Vanu trick them into thinking that they have the coordinates to Earth. A half-truth, but, in the Sovereignty's eyes, the only way to walk the Path; the Path to the Stars. The Vanu do indeed have the coordinates of Earth, and they've had them since their founding. Only when one of the best infiltrators in the NC military dissapears through an alien portal do the New Conglomerate leaders suspect treachery.

Now but a shell of her former self after just one tragic night... and the long months that followed.

Because what would it be like to have your closest friend violently taken away from you?
Even after a full year with no sign of him, would it ever seem possible that he would ever be seen again, or that he was even alive?

Twilight Sparkle, with the help of her friends, attempts to rebuild her life from the ground up after a full year of dwelling in the past, and trying to find any trace of her former assistant.
Spike's gone, but does Twilight have what it takes to bring herself back from the same void?

[Currently attempting a revival of this story after five years. I'd like to issue a personal apology for taking so bloody long.]

Spike has been in love with Rarity since they first met, so when a young filly reveals her feelings for him at the worst possible time, he ends up caught in the middle of a feud that is liable to tear a family apart. If only he could understand his own heart.

I'd heard about the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic from my college roommate who is way too into the show. Disturbingly so, actually, but good gravy I would never watch the darned thing! What am I, five? I've got better things to do with my time than watch a silly little girl's show. However, that didn't stop... something from transporting me into the world of the show, so here I am... in Equestria... trying to get home. This is gonna be interesting.

Special thanks to GuyFace, Jack Kellar, Storm Shaker, Spiffy McSquee, and Goober Trooper for helping me with this one!
