On a warm, rainy afternoon, two young ponies take shelter in a gazebo. One is hoping to find a job at a bakery nearby, and just wants the rain to go away so she can make it to her interview. The other isn't really a pony, and just wants the rain to go away so he isn't caught.

Life tends to work that way, I suppose.

When Princess Cadance, and Captain Shining Armor, banished the Changelings from Canterlot, the force of love blasted them out. That blast was strongest near the source and weaker as it went farther out, so the Changelings near the end of the city were unharmed, the Changelings near the source did not return. That group included there beloved Queen Chrysalis.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that that perfume wasn't my own, nor did it take any real effort to locate the source of both of my issues: there was a pony asleep on my arm.

I assume she was asleep, anyway. She was breathing slowly and shallowly, which was quite easy to ascertain, as my right arm was draped across her.

Your life is terrible. No way of sugar coating it. You never knew your dad, your mom hates you, and you are constantly bullied at school. After a particularly bad day, you find yourself in Equestria. Things are begining to look up.

Alone, a young timberwolf must try to survive in the wilderness. Survival above all else. That was what his mother taught him. But when he encounters 'monsters' that could apparently 'gobble him up in mere seconds', he begins to doubt everything he knows about the world.

The day of Princess Celestia's birthday has arrived. This was supposed to be a happy occasion, not only for Celestia, but all of her subjects and loved ones. But all that she can think of is what transpired on her birthday all of those years ago.

Celestia has kept secrets from her loving public. But she fears that one day they might all become known by the ponies of Equestria. Despite her fears, Celestia has managed to keep them locked away for thousands of years.

But all of her hard work might be for nothing, for when the one secret that Celestia has tried her hardest to keep buried six feet under comes back from the dead, everything changes for her.

Beware, this is a world building story.

The Elements of Harmony finally find all the keys to the mysterious box. Together, they open it to reveal the treasures inside.

Really, it's not too much.

I am a human who was transported to Equestria. I did not read the fine print. This is my story. I hope that it may serve as a warning for others.

Octavia, going on a rather extended tour with her orchestra, has charged Vinyl Scratch with the care of a human that she's been caring for: Anonymous. At his size, the ponies and their world is amazonian to him. Not only is the human smaller than Vinyl, but she must care for him until Octavia returns. Normally, something that wouldn't be a problem for a unicorn, but an accident from years past adds a strange twist to her endeavors.

I don't know, I suck at descriptions.

In response to threats of a griffon attack on Equestria, Twilight responds with a letter detailing just why such actions would prove unfavorable for them.
