The only human in Equestria has an awkward time in a bar. Mostly due to the massive language barrier.

When a freak science experiment at Twilight's library zaps Rainbow Dash with temporary aphasia, it's up to Applejack to get her a cure.

Ever since she burst into flames trying to discover Pinkie Pie's sense, Twilight has had terrible feelings constantly tormenting the back of her mind. Nightmares show visions of her burning everything she has ever loved to the ground, and she is enjoying it. Desperate, she searches for anything that can help clear all of these terrible thoughts. Twilight then discovers that a unicorn whose coat was white and hair writhed in flames tried to destroy Equestria in the past. To her horror, she learns that she is destined to be the reincarnation... and there is nothing she can do about it

Sometimes it isn't simple to satisfy a ponies values. Sometimes (like in Summer Star's case) you need to beat them up a little, in order to teach them how to satisfy themselves.

Summer wasn't always afraid of social interaction, but long years of amazing adventures among snowcovered mountains, and on fantastical shores, has limited her ability to interact with other ponies. Princess Celestia realizes that Summer Star, though her values are being satisfied, needs more friends, if she is to uphold her prime directive.

Summer star needs to be conditioned!

(note that:
- This story is undoubtedly sucky compared to professional prose.
- Won't be updated terribly often.
- May or may not end up being completed.

Despite these discouraging factors, I still appreciate any and all readers + feedback)

Artists suffer from many things, one of which is a mental block that disrupts and makes them second guess their work. For Octavia, she starts developing such music blocks that causes her to quickly fall into depression and turn to cigarettes and wine to ease her pain. Sometimes though, all it really takes is a friend to hear out ones problems. Thankfully, Octavia is fortunate to have such a friend and when her housemate, Vinyl checks up on her, she happily listens to Octavia's frustrations.

2+2=5
Celestia knew, Celestia always knew the truth, so it had to be true.
Twilight trusted her, didn't she?
And fillies always grasp to truths, to their heroes, and drink in everything life throws at them.
So two and two make five.

Pinkamina may have been a guilt-free killer for some time, but the funny thing about death is that it's permanent. Those you kill will never be around again, will never see the light of day once more, will never share another smile with you. Now, thanks to her, Rainbow Dash, along with many others, are among those numbers. As this reality begins to settle in, she regrets her actions more and more. We are here, not to see her suffer against her own thoughts, but to see the moment in which she was finally freed of her torment, the moment she finds the answer to her sorrows.

Octavia loves being the center of attention when it comes to large crowds. Though her day started out innocently enough, she tries to earn the stare of a stallion passing by but quickly finds her efforts being watched by others. One would be surprised to what a simple tootsie pop and an adventurous tongue can do and wanting to give her audience a proper show, she makes it one to remember.

This story is a sequel to Monsters

You might think that Equestrian nights are but serene exhibitions of Luna's work on the sky. You may believe that you can just lay out on the grass and admire the beautiful stars as a warm evening breeze caresses your mane. And you would be wrong.

Equestria is a magical place, and where there is magic, there is chaos. Dead rising from their graves, inanimate objects coming to life, strange apparitions making your foal cry in her room... sounds familiar? No? Then I'm doing my job right.

I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I work the Night Shift.

This follows canon up to the end of season 2.
