Oakville. Doesn't seem like much of a place, really, way out on the edge of Equestria. But when Princess Twilight Sparkle's royal visit to the Acorn Festival goes wrong, and she and her friends disappear, it falls on Zecora to recruit some help from the town's most able citizens.

That turns out to be the local weather captain, a magician, and a couple of inventors.

Unfortunately, they happen to be named Lightning Dust, Trixie, Flim, and Flam.

Ho boy.

This takes place after my other story, Cauldron Club, but you won't have to have read that to read this one, though it might be a fun time, who knows!

Author's note: this story is still undergoing occasional editing as I figure out what the hay I'm doing. Some scenes may be added, modified, or removed.

Two months ago, a changeling posing as Rainbow Dash tried to abduct Twilight. Nopony was hurt, but Twilight became a bit paranoid--how could she make sure something like that wouldn't happen again? The best thing she could think of was to invent a spell, empowered with her full might as princess, that would forcibly remove the disguise of any changeling in the vicinity.

It's testing day, and Ponyville's about to get twenty percent buggier . . .

AU taking place between seasons 3 and 4. Trigger warning for one scene of implied dubcon.

A look at what Rainbow Dash may have been like if she were born as a unicorn instead of the ever popular pegasus so many know and love.

Time is a fitful thing. Daring Do is about to find out just how twisted time can be.

Roseluck’s husband Ember receives a gift on their anniversary: a rose taken from the Everfree Forest. When Roseluck grows ill and the rose begins to change color, Ember struggles to understand.

Awake and alone, Applejack will find a way to survive.

And here's a TV Tropes page, if you're into that kind of thing.

Strange things happen in Ponyville. Foals start to disappear; their parents and siblings, struck by grief, will resort to every mean to find the cause. Some of them blame timberwolves; some blame the zebra living in the forest. Some of them even blame their fellow ponies. None of them, however, suspects a little filly suffering from insomnia...

The boredom of Thursday evenings gets to Twilight Sparkle, and she decides to create a fun meet-at-home club.

The problem is that she doesn't create a book club. Seriously Twilight. You're a librarian. I mean, come on. Book club didn't occur to you?

Sigh... no. Twilight's idea is Cauldron Club! Yes, Cauldron Club! Cute name for a potentially catastrophic alchemical disaster, isn't it? Now anyone with a desire to dabble in the arcane and... disturbingly reactive world of potion-making can gather in a single place to celebrate their mad science harmless hobby!

Potion-making can be a dangerous hobby, Twilight. More-so if that hobby is shared. What could go wrong?

Oh, and... bring your own cauldron.

This story takes place between "Keep Calm and Flutter On," and "Magical Mystery Cure," and so features unicorn Twilight.

Pinkie Pie lay dead on the floor of Sugarcube Corner, surrounded by her closest friends. One of them was the killer, but which one? Can the others figure out the identity of the culprit? And why is Pinkie smiling so wide?

Pinkie's parties are the things of legend. She's thrown parties for birth-iverseries, new residents, you name it. However, for all her party prowess, there was one type of party that Pinkie had never thrown before...a Murder Mystery Party!

Who could have bumped off the bouncy baker? Was it the Star Athlete? The Businesspony? The Number One Assistant? The Socialite? The Chef? Only one pony knows and the "dead" tell no tales. They do, however, do their best to make sure everypony has tons of fun! The game is ahoof!

Cheerilee knows two things: she's an earth pony and she loves being a teacher at Ponyville Elementary. Nevermind the fact her mother was a pegasus and both her father and older brother are unicorns, the latter of whom just got married to an earth pony with a better teaching job than Cheerilee. It doesn't bother her, because she just loves being unable to find a higher paying job than what she has now. Really. She isn't that serious when she absentmindedly wonders if being a unicorn would improve her job prospects.

So with all that in mind, she isn't happy at all when she wakes up to discover she has spontaneously turned into a pegasus, a change that goes far deeper than just sticking wings on her back. And the trials she has to go through as a result of her new status will make her call into question just who she is and what she really wants out of life.

Rated Teen for references to alcohol and minor sexual humor.
