Twilight and Shining Armor have a little sister named Light Step. Everypony tells Light Step how lucky she is to be related to such great heroes.

Light Step wishes she could smother them both.

This story is a sequel to Breakfast at Twilight's

Twilight’s newest friend is from the human world, and knows almost nothing about Equestria.

Fortunately, Twilight has given her books.

Unfortunately, Twilight gave her books yesterday.

Additionally, said newest friend is also prone to nightmares, and does not know who the other princesses are yet.

Nothing can go wrong with this.

(Chronology Note: this story takes place between seasons Four and Five.)

(Content Note: sexual themes are discussed and explored. Contains no underage sex.)

This timeline continues in Cupid Mark Crusaders.

Part of the Sunset Rising continuity.

Leave it to Twilight Sparkle to create the greatest spell of the past century – and then want to destroy it.

It's too dangerous to use, she says. It's too tempting. It can't help you the way you think it can.

Well, Starlight Glimmer knows a thing or three about temptation. She'll prove to Twilight that this spell – this magnificent book – is too important to destroy. That it can help ponies.

She just has to survive using it, first.

Second place in the May 2018 WriteOff.

Cover art is "Reformed" by Okaces.

When Twilight is placed in charge of the Equestrian government's first line of defense against alien incursions, she finds herself housing a dangerous entity within the castle. However, the question remains; why did it come to Equestria?

The primary divergence from the 'canon' story-line is probably the exclusion of Discord and an incredibly fuzzy knowledge of anything beyond season 3.
The story gets darker as it progresses; be forewarned.

Ponies are dangerous. At least, that's what everydragon says. They even stole his brother's egg years ago. So why are these ponies being so nice to him?

Expect elements of Comedy, Adventure, and Sad from time to time.
Sex tag added for somewhat blunt discussions about the birds and the bees.

In a town full of missing imaginary friends, disappearing blankies and things that go boing in the night, there’s one colt you can count on. Who can the students of Ponyville turn to when no adult is available? Who will stand against injustice for the low cost of a hoofful of candy? Who shouldn't have read those old Detective Comics in dad's study?

Follow the adventures of Gumdrop and his "Detection Agency", as they battle the nefarious forces of Treacle. Be amazed at the daring deeds all across Ponyville, from the shady booths of Sugarcube Corner to the dizzying heights of the swings.

Dolls found, diaries recovered, days saved.
Agreeable fees.
Bedtime at 6.

A collection of short stories about Gumdrop, an earth pony colt who's read one too many of his dad's comics. Styling himself as a hardbitten gumshoe, he takes on cases for ponies all over Ponyville, from the mildly serious to the utterly bizzare. So long as there's a cookie at the end of it, Gum's on the case.

(Update: 11/5/2017 - Major shout-out to Rock-Mint-Swirl who was incredibly nice enough to do a fanart for this story, which you can see right here. It contains story spoilers so please read the fanfic first though.)

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have dealt with all kinds of ponies having trouble finding their true calling in life, but none can compare to the special request they receive from Princess Twilight Sparkle herself, or the shock they receive on discovering who it is: Fizzlepop Berrytwist, possibly the most hated and feared pony in generations. Can a pony who's spent most of her life rejecting her true calling possibly find it now? Can the Cutie Mark Crusaders help a pony who almost everypony else in Equestria has rejected?

Movie Spoilers.

To host the Grand Galloping Gala is a great honor only a select few can aspire to. Rarity deserves the role more than anypony else. She can have everything she ever wanted, if she chooses to.

It might be the wrong choice.

While trying to help Applejack with some baking, Starlight Glimmer accidentally shatters a mixing bowl that belonged to AJ's mother. This leads to frenzied research, a discussion of the universe's fundamental nature, several whirlwind races across Ponyville, an attempted theft, and the possible creation of a new form of magic. You know: the usual.

This is the story I would've written for the July 2016 Writeoff Association contest, "The End of an Era," but I didn't get a chance to actually put it together till two weeks after the writing weekend. Many thanks to Blazzing Inferno for comments on the first draft.

An uncertain Luna must again take up the responsibility of dispelling nightmares, but what if those dreams feature herself as Nightmare Moon? Would she be up to the task of confronting her past as well? Or is there more to a particular foal's nightmare than meets the eye?
