The Tasty Treat becomes a successful restaurant, despite not having the three-hoof rating that makes all the restaurants in Restaurant Row successful. The Queen of Cuisine, Zesty Gourmand, will not let this stand without criticism.

Unfortunately for her, somepony else will not let her flawed method of critiquing restaurants go unpunished. And he's not holding back anything. No way in Hell, especially in his own kitchen.

Spoilers for Season 6 Episode 12

Random Oneshot Idea that just popped in my head.

Contains vulgar language and verbal bashing (Judging from the cover art, you can tell why).

There has always been a little voice in Twilight Sparkle's head, whispering dark musings to her. And until her brother's wedding, she has managed to push those bitter thoughts away and focus on the good. She forgives and forgets and holds onto hope.

But when her friends turn their backs on her and her brother cuts her from his life, Twilight finds herself alone, with only the little voice to comfort her.

And it is through anger and hate that has been repressed for so long that Twilight finds the power to rise up. Harmony and Friendship have only brought her pain and suffering. It is time for her to embrace her dark side. No longer will she worry about what others think. Twilight is going to live her life how SHE chooses: without friends, without family, without love and without harmony. She is going to cut loose, have fun, and screw what others think.

For her friends and family, it will soon become apparent that if they don't find a way to mend the damage they've done to the lavender mare...Twilight Sparkle might be lost to them forever.

Cover created by the amazing FerGarcia220

When a human and his home land in Equestria, his love of speed quickly draws a few ponies to him, most notably Princess Luna. But her own desires and secrets soon begin to create, starting with a failed spell that leaves her and Anonymous in each other's bodies for a time. Anonymous narrowly escapes the mental torture Nightmare Moon has in store, lying in wait in the back of Princess Luna's mind, her absence setting the fiend free. But things do not go back to normal when the spell is reversed....

Why suddenly can he and Luna speak to each other telepathically? How is it possible for him to walk alongside Luna in the dream realm? Perhaps worse, someone comes calling not long after....

====================

Originally posted as an Anon in Equestria short based on my own love of cars (and Luna), I started this story as a little thing to pass the time of a hot summer and being stuck in the only air conditioned room of the house. Three years later, this story has gone way beyond an automotive tale, and I'm still going at it, for better or for worse.

For anyone that has followed me and my pastebin, this story is the same, but I have combined some chapters and (obviously) rewritten it and given it a little polish from its original greentext style.

This story is a sequel to Bitter Tears: An Anon-A-Miss Fanfic

"Bitter Tears" ended on a bittersweet note, with Sunset determined to heal and move on from the Anon-A-Miss incident, and her friendships with the Mane 5 as strained as ever.

This technical sequel is a series of oneshots, in no particular order, that shows the different P.O.Vs of the characters who were affected by the events in the previous fic - from Sunset to CMC, and even the Dazzlings, and how they're adjusting to their now-human life after their defeat.

Sometimes, it is better to speak without saying anything at all. But when not saying anything at all is the only option, it can make life much harder.

A man awakes in a new place, alone, yet not. Will he meet someone, or somepony, that will accept him for his differences?

This story is a sequel to How many friends have you made today?!

Things are a lot better for Anon since the events of Ponyville. His store is doing great and he enjoys the company of all his friends. As the days go on, he finds that the problems of the past are quick to haunt him as he is forced to face the one thing that hurt him the most.

I'm sure everybody remembers how the CMC were harshly shunned by the whole town to such an extent that it took a heartfelt apology letter to earn their forgiveness. This story is gonna show would might have happened during the entire "apology letter" sequence, which not only has the CMC's friends and family members apologizing for how harsh their reactions were upon finding out that they were Gabby Gums, but also for their hypocrisy which was never fully addressed in the episode.

Nopony ever said being Captain of the Guard and prince of a long lost empire was easy, but Shining Armor never imagined having to deal with a problem quite like this. Apologizing to the new king of changelings, Thorax.

With Thorax set to take the throne and rule over the new changeling hive, he arranges a visit to the Crystal Empire to seek guidance from Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. And Shining realizes now he must apologize to Thorax for what unfolded the last time the two met.

Can Shining Armor prove to Thorax that he has learned his lesson, and what is Thorax's real reason for coming to see Shining on such short notice?

Sometimes the most ominous words one can hear are: "We need to talk."

After the events of "Every Little Thing She Does," Twilight's friends get together with her to talk about Starlight Glimmer. It turns out her friends have some more concerns over just what's happened with Starlight and they explore how Twilight factors into things.

The girls go over some of the things they've learned in the past as they try to chart out a course for the future of Starlight Glimmer.

After losing his family a year ago, Rick Rhinestone could no longer take the loneliness and decides to end it all. It appears the universe has other plans for him as he finds himself in a strange land filled with talking horses. How will he manage?
