Appearance, talent, or attitude? Which is more important? What truly makes a mare who she is?

Spitfire asks herself these questions as she watches Rainbow Dash change her image to join the Wonderbolts. But does she really want to let the young pegasus she's admired for her skill and integrity change who she is because of a silly rule?

Rainbow Dash wants to write a rap. Somehow this leads to Sunset Shimmer explaining how magic in Equestria works.

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are falling. To their deaths, probably. It wouldn’t be much of a problem, but unfortunately for Twilight, Rainbow Dash enjoys herself way more than the situation should allow.

Rainbow Dash walks into Carousel Boutique and asks Rarity out to breakfast.

Only...Rainbow Dash is acting somewhat...odd.

Concerned for her friend, Rarity spends the day with Rainbow Dash. But the bizarre new habit Rainbow Dash has developed quickly wears on Rarity's nerves...

K'larra was a deep cover changeling sent to spy on Ponyville in preparation for the invasion. Sazzix was a survivor of the invasion that slipped past the wards and posed as an ordinary pony.

They fell in love.

Then they figured out they were both changelings.

Then they got drunk.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Many have opposed Celestia and all of them have fallen, one way or another. Some she has slain. Others she redeemed. Her servants and friends have done great deeds in her name and her fame has spread throughout all of creation. She is the Sun in all of its glory.

And yet she finds that she cannot get a single child to believe she is even real.

Part of the Monophysite Quartet.
Ageless, Or Celestia Plays Dice With the Universe, Have You Considered My Servant, Twilight?, and The Esoteric Rites of Darkness (NSFW), all coming from a single story idea called "Monophysite" and exploring some perception/idea/theory about who or what Celestia is and how that effects her friends and loved ones.

Queen Chrysalis sees an opportunity to break up the Elements of Harmony before they spoil another one of her brilliant plans to rule all of Equestria. Since all of them are unmarried mares, all she needs to do is get them fighting over a stallion. And if one stallion isn't enough, she sends one male changeling for each of them, plus a spare.

Too bad she didn't think this one through first.

Celestia has only one chance.

To save her little ponies from the Toast Apocalypse, she has nothing but an old scroll and a spell. And a list of unpredictable consequences.

It's all about quantum fields and probabilities.
