Returning from a trip to Manehattan, Trixie has a brand new magic trick that she's all too eager to share with Starlight.

Unfortunately, when things don't work quite as expected, Trixie and Starlight are forced to go on a journey across Equestria to find the pony that gave her the trick and make things right once more.

Gold Medalist in the "Has That Always Been There?" January 2017 Writeoff

"I've thrown some pretty super parties in my time, but this one must be off the charts, cause two of my besties are finally trying to hook up! Wait, no, four of them are! Oh my gosh, they're all trying to hook up! ...Maybe this isn't the best party ever after all."

A fun and entertaining party at the Castle of Friendship takes a turn for the awkward (and strange). Rushed, predictable, and very forward romance ensues.

Starlight and Trixie are eating at a local restaurant when the former has a different magical cloud appear from her horn. When Starlight realizes what feeling is bringing this cloud, she knows it is something she must hide. But does she really need to?

After a mishap with yet another teleportation spell, Trixie and Starlight Glimmer find themselves on an island in the middle of the ocean with no magical energy left—which means no magic until they recover.

Starlight is sure that this is all Trixie's fault. Trixie is sure that Starlight needs to lighten up.

Trixie is known for her big ego. But what will happen when she falls in love with one of the students she didn't treat well? Will she be able to cope with her new feelings?

This story is special because it will be the first time I will try to write the characters in first person. I will not follow the canon of the movies much. Everything after the events of the second movie won't be taken into account.

After the events of 'Rock Solid Friendship', a certain magician appears on the scene, jealous of Starlight's newfound friendship with Maud. She immediately challenges her rival to a 'winner takes all' contest... most unfortunately for Starlight.

A strictly imagined follow-up to the most recent episode.

Apparently some talented guy called Jacob liked the story enough to do a recorded drama of it on Youtube. You should check it out, it really is very good. Linkie

A refined mare fresh out of high school and a dropout following her dreams find themselves forced to spend a lot of time together.

With the help of a meddling psychology tutor and their new classmates, can they find what they've been looking for?

French Translation!

Fan Stuff!

Equestria always seemed to pick the best moments to fall apart. Every time something happened, the Elements of Harmony were always on hoof to save the day. But what can Equestria do when the Elements are busy?

And is it really a coincidence that Sunset Shimmer chose this day to visit one of her friends, or does Equestria really meddle in fate?

One fine morning, Spike woke up early and ran some errands. Then he found Discord putting up a seller's stand, apparently ready to open his own business. One which offers a one-day transformation into anything the user wants. And he apparently had the patience to set up his shop LEGALLY. Twilight and the others brace themselves for the inevitable...
