Holder's Boulder.

It's brought the Pie family good luck for generations.

It's one of the core features of their rock farm.

It's Limestone Pie's personal favorite.

It's also egg shaped and came from a dragon's nest...

Okay, first off, you don't get to call me Flurry Heart. Not unless you have special privileges which are only afforded to those who are related to me and/or are national heroes. Or, I guess, if you're that guard that mom sends after me...

Point is, I'm Skyla. Got it memorized? SKY. LA.

Now these are the stories of how I earned myself that name. And a few other titles. And look, maybe mom and dad say I'm just going through a phase, but I say PHASES ARE FOR WIMPS. This, is who I am!

And the only reason I'm using Circus-Cinnamon's photo is because I can't find any other photos with how I really feel on it. I mean seriously, crystal ponies, I'm yelling half the time, is it that hard to take an angry picture?!

Princess Luna and Princess Celestia have disappeared. In their place, a black cat and a pug are left, wearing miniaturized paper mache versions of their regalia. The flimsy disguises fool all of the ponies in the castle except for Twilight Sparkle, who can't seem to get anypony to believe her. The fate of Equestria now rests in the hooves of Twilight, who has to save ponykind from the paws of the two new domesticated overlords.
At the same time, the new princesses have to learn to get along with each other and stop destroying the curtains.

All Carrot Top wanted was a vacation, but when the Tyrant Sun appears and lays siege to the industrial city of Stalliongrad, the simple carrot farmer finds herself in way over her head. Trapped far from home, with only a few friends beside her, Carrot Top must help marshal the city's defenses and keep the civilians safe--both from the implacable monster outside the walls, and the increasingly unstable chaos within them. Between dwindling supplies, a Discordian anarchist, insane sun cultists, and a city government that refuses to believe the walls could fall, the farmer will have to overcome a host of problems in order that the innocent ponies survive the coming disaster. But overcome them she must, because the coldest city in Equestria will otherwise go up in flames... and will take one million ponies with it.

Lunaverse story, set at the end of the 'Winter' portion of Season 2. Note that RDD has reserved judgement on whether or not this story is canonical.

Alone, afraid and fend for herself, a young Timberwolf Pup lives alone, after her pack and mother were killed by Manticores. She lives alone in the forest, until three fillies known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders find her. Two fled in terror, but one brave filly named Applebloom discovered the pup was afraid and not threatening like her grandmother and big sister told her about them.

She knew in her heart this pup needed help, and happily decided to take care of her. However, one question stood in her way in fear.

How will her remaining friends, her sister and the rest of the main six react to her being friends with one of the most dangerous predators in the Everfree Forest?

This story is a sequel to Sour Sweet Reality

During a visit to Sunny Flare's mansion, Sour Sweet explains how her anxieties make her feel that having a mental condition means that she shouldn’t have children. As fate would have it, she discovers that she has run out of her medication the very next morning. Deciding to stay home from Crystal Prep and wait for her mother to pick up more, she learns that not all hallucinations are terrifying… especially those that call her “mama”.

But were villains ever truly meant to play nice with one another?
