There was a sloth. He was a simple sloth. And then one day he was whisked away to Equestria. What will happen to him when he is slow to react to the imminent change? And what will the ponies who care for him make of this new, strange and oddly compelling creature?

We heard that someone gave sloths a bad reputation 'round here, so we got together and tried to remedy the situation.
The results are...mixed. Please don't hate us.

This story is a sequel to Guiding Light

By her mere existence, Princess "Derpy" De Raptura ushers in a new era in Equestria's history. The first commoner to ascend the throne, the first new monarch of Equestria for more than two thousand years, Derpy faces the unenviable task of bending a fractious and ambitious political establishment to her will when her experience amounts to little more than planning the best delivery route each day.

Yet it seems that Derpy must face the true price her new-found power demands. To raise the sun she must love the whole world, but to give that love she must endure a burden far greater than she could possibly imagine.

On Hearth's Warming Eve, Rainbow Dash *ahem* drops by Twilight's library. (Crashes. She crashes through the window like she does every time.) As punishment, Twilight tells Rainbow Dash about a book she had been reading by an author by the name of Doctor Colt Smith. The book tells of this holiday called "Christmas" that's celebrated in other universes. Rainbow Dash doesn't believe Twilight's stories, however. If Rainbow Dash was fast enough to fly around Equestria in 12 measly hours, how could 8 flying deer possibly come close? When Rainbow Dash voices her doubts, she and Twilight get a surprise visit not from Santa, but somepony who promises to prove Dash wrong.

Unfortunately, the two ponies and one madman end up injuring Santa Claus, putting Christmas on Earth in jeopardy. Now it's up to Twilight to pose as the big man and Rainbow Dash to strap on the fake antlers and glowing red nose so they can save Christmas and possibly save Santa's life.

Twilight isn't having a very good day. An experimental spell blew up in her face, an army of changelings is attacking Canterlot, and she just died. Yet somehow, it looks like it's going to keep going downhill from here.

Given the chance to correct what's gone wrong, Twilight swears she's going to fix all this even if it kills her. Which it will. Frequently.

After the daily mountain of paperwork that results from the insanity that is Ponyville, Ivory Scroll has had enough, and has made a list forbidding things that Ponyville citizens are forbidden from doing. A one shot of surprisingly epic proportions, written in the dead of night.

[Canceled]
Discord was defeated. Villains always are. It’s really quite cliché.

Before he lost, he asked himself a question: what if your virtues went out of control, rather than your flaws? Perhaps if the heroes and villains weren't so clear-cut, the conclusion wouldn't be so inevitable. If nothing else, there would be some fun chaos along the way!

Can the main six find a way to undo Discord's magic, in spite of themselves and each other?

Disclaimer; I have been working on this for a while, and the writing at the beginning is not as good as the writing later. Hopefully it is not too great of an impediment to the story.

Editing by Meta Four, ocalhoun, Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi, Sessalisk, Sereg, and JapaneseTeeth, all of whom are amazing. Go shower them with admiration!

This story is a sequel to My Little Background Pony: Friendship is Magic

After the Summer Sun Celebration, the Doctor has been living as Time Turner and is enjoying his new life as a resident of Ponyville. He's got a good job, great friends, and life seems peaceful.
But it doesn't last. Ponies have gone missing lately, and it seems the perpetrators are not normal by any means. Can Time Turner, Derpy Hooves, Bon Bon, Vinyl Scratch, Lyra Heartstrings, and Octavia find out what's going on and, more importantly, put a stop to it?

Extra character tag: Bon Bon

A time-traveling alien pony.
A permanently cross-eyed pegasus.
A prim and proper cellist.
A hard-working confectioner.
A future DJ with attitude.
An aloof yet friendly lyrist.
These six ponies have been in the background for three whole seasons. Now it's time they got their own story. A story involving secrets, new friendships, and the return of a mare long thought to be an old ponies' tale.
Alternate Mane Six story. Due to five character limit, imagine Octavia tag.

Has an audio reading. Start here

It's been said in prophecies that nopony will know the time or date the magic of Equestria that empowers its citizens would leave. I thought it was just superstitious nonsense written by ancient witch doctors. In a sense, they were right. But I would have never expected it to come like this. —Princess Twilight Sparkle, 05/05/1268

AU tag added due to the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting Cutie Marked.

Necromancers. Sickly ponies bathed in cloaks of darkness, bringing ruin to all who fall under their shadow, terror to those who meet their gaze. Ripping the dead from the grave and conscripting them to their army of evil and conquest. Woe to the towns that dare draw their interest.

Such are the legends.

This is a story about one of the kindest ponies I know.
