Ponyville's weather is never quite the same without Rainbow Dash at the helm.

When a week of bad weather frays the nerves of Ponyville's farmers, they'll go to dubious lengths to stop one of their own from winning the heart of Rainbow Dash, and hogging all the good weather in the process.

Octavia has been having these really odd dreams. There is only one other mare she can talk to about this. Yes, Vinyl is the only one she can feel safe to tell this to. Well Vinyl has been thinking and doing some looking of her own on the matter and was going to try it on herself one night, but feels that Octavia would enjoy it more. Now months of fun are now on their way.

Discord visits Celestia to try and comprehend why the princess does so many unusual and inane things. He simply just doesn't understand her.

This is one of the stories I had planned in the long run. I had thought that it would be an interesting topic to delve upon and it would be a good way for me to experiment with heavy dialog and drama. It also was a way for me to try and write Discord and see how I personally perceived his character and I admit that it's a rather different approach than what you'd normally see on this website. Overall, I guess I'm just testing some waters out here.

Celestia will be reprimanded hard in this story, just to let you know. I love Celestia, I really do, but there's truly little we know of her and by introducing specific headcanons to explain some discrepancies, it's possible to view her in a rather negative light. That being said, she is the protagonist of this story and though this may be A headcanon, it is most definitely not MY headcanon.

I wrote this sometime in the middle of the night (give or take, four or five in the morning) so the congruency of this story is slightly questionable. It's really just a conglomeration of different ideas that came to my head at the time that never really ties together in end. Essentially, I'm just warning that it may seem like an odd read when you're done.

I would've written this story much later – I actually wanted to finish the romance one I'm working on first – but I'm trying to get back into a writing mood. I haven't been on a computer in over a week and I just can't finish the last chapter of that other story. I feel that I don't have the gumption for it yet. I hoped that by writing this, I would be able to get back on track. We'll see how that goes.

As for the cover art, I would have given it one but I'd also need to get into a drawing mood for that particular shtick. Unfortunately, that usually takes longer for me to get into than wanting to write. If you're willing to make cover art for me, that would be fantastic and I would very much appreciate it. If not, that's fine. I can make it some other time.

Truth be told, I'm not sure if this story is even good. I guess I'll just let the masses decide. I hope you guys enjoy the story and a comment of any kind would be appreciative.

After receiving two tickets to Dodge Junction's Founder's Day Festival, Applejack invites Rainbow Dash to join her in what looks to be a great time full of fun, games, rides, food, and more. But hidden behind all this is an opportunity for Applejack to finally tell Dash how she feels about her. Can the farmpony manage to confess between all the excitement?

Twilight wakes in the middle of the night, haunted by a terrifying dream—one that's not so hard to see coming true. One that whispers of a grand destiny awaiting her as a reward for all her hard work, discipline, and noble sacrifice.

But what if she doesn't want a grand destiny?

One year after her coronation, Princess Twilight Sparkle is dead, killed by her own subjects out of fear and jealously. After the funeral, Princess Celestia isolated herself from the world, mourning the loss of her brightest student and daughter figure.

But she cannot weep forever. She must take control of her duties once more. Haunted by the memories of the assassination, and its aftermath, Celestia slowly makes her way to Twilight's resting place to find some closure.

Now With its own TV Tropes Page!

Sequel is up

Luna's Children of the Night, six colts and six fillies, are forced into a new world- the forgotten mountains. Faced with a new, unexplored and less than friendly world, they have to survive on their own and build a home for themselves, but they're only foals.
This story is directly based off of This
And yes, this is technically the 'official' story of it

When we have lost what is important to us it is difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. When you struggle to move on from what you have lost, misery becomes welcome company. Luckily for Twilight Sparkle, an old friend decides to share her view on things.

Sad Twilight but with a sparkle of hope. Sorry for the pun.

Celestia has become emotionally withdrawn and disconnected from her little ponies. The imprisonment of Luna compounded with the constant loss of any who got close to her, she has forgotten how to connect with another pony. Until a small, injured filly who is equally distant after the loss of her parents stumbles into Celestia's life. Now, both ponies will help the other heal and rediscover once more what it truly means to be a pony.

A 'Mommylestia' story, the concept of which has been in my head for some months. I will be sticking rather close to canon for events, the major differences are that Twilight's parents are dead, and Shining Armor is a few years older and already dating Cadance at the time of this incident. I plan to keep mostly everything else the same.

Celestia is struggling to come to terms with her true feelings for Twilight.

Unwilling to watch her sister suffer under apathy and indecision, Luna takes it upon herself to help Celestia confront her newfound feelings.
