After a years-long, hard fought battle of the browsers, Internet Explorer, once the reigning king of the interwebz, is overthrown. First by its archrival, Firefox, of whom had risen from the ashes of a fallen ally, and then Chrome. Shunned and memed out of existence, there was no place anymore for the old browser. Even its parent corporation had succeeded it with a faster, Edge-ier browser.

And guess where the heck Internet Explorer ended up?

Slightly modified to tie into MLP a bit more. I didn't mention the Mane Six by name enough times.

Ever since the Sisterhooves Social, Sweetie Belle and Rarity's relationship has improved drastically. There are still days when Rarity is a bit busy, of course, and certain times when Sweetie doesn't quite get the hint.

During one particularly stressful day, Sweetie Belle gets into Rarity's makeup. Rarity demands an explanation. The answer isn't quite as simple as one sister playing dress-up.

Thanks to my good friend Loopy Legend for the prompt and link to the coverart.

Rated Everyone.

There is a very good reason that Equestria is a happy, safe place.

Friendship lasts forever.

Right?

Three years ago, Gilda and Rainbow Dash became fast friends at Junior Speedsters' Flight Camp. Time took its toll, though, and the pair drifted apart.

When Gilda tries to reconnect with her not-so-long lost friend, she'll discover that things can change a pony after three years: a new home, new job, and new friends.

This story continues in Summer Days

Summer is the perfect season for things that grow. However, growth needs fuel, warmth can burn, and romance can be the most volatile fire there is. After she leaves Ponyville and lands a job as a city guard, Gilda will have summer days that are filled with lessons of growth, of love, and of pain.

This is a continuation of Heart of Gold, Feathers of Steel. I recommend reading that story first.
This story is concluded in Evening Flames

Special thanks to WentoX for this awesome, custom cover.

Diamond Tiara wants attention, but she's not getting it. She seeks to change that.

Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom also want attention, but they're not getting it either. It's all Diamond Tiara's fault.

Written because I was pissed off. I figured that writing was a better outlet than attacking people.

This was something I wrote for the Twarity prompt collab. A stand-alone oneshot for a bit of my own venting in it. Not one of my best pieces, but I thought it should get published, because why not?

A/N: now with voice reading by "TheCaptainSand". Listen to his wonderfully dulcet british tones and his hilarious Applejack impression here. Thanks again, Cap!

Due to slightly contrived circumstances, Maud Pie becomes Equestria's fifth, newest (*cough* best *cough*) alicorn princess. Inducted, she will face the most dangerous, diabolical threat anypony has ever devised:

The legal system.

Will she be as stoic as ever? Will she be able to handle the crushing paperwork? Will Pinkie get to plan her coronation party?! Only one thing is for certain:

Rocks.

Many, many rocks.

Oh, and an attempted assassination and eventual plot to take over the world as we know it.

But mostly rocks.

XXXXXXXX

Just a little something I came up with. I apologize if it has errors, i haven't had much time to edit. I did fix it up as best as I could, though.

Hope you laugh! (If not, I apologize. Maud comedy is kind of hard to write, considering that... y'know. She's Maud.)

EDIT: Featured 10/9! My second featured story, and it only took me 8 months to do it! WOO-HOO!

EDIT 2: Holy crap. as of 10/21, my story is so popular that is in the realm of being in the featured box every time it gets updated. Can't thank you guys enough, cliche as it sounds.

Maud and Pinkie Pie explain all about the rock cycle. With chocolate.

Already taken aback by the stark contrast from Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash discovers something mind-blowing after challenging Maud to a rock throwing contest.

Surely a pony who doesn't like winning couldn't exist...

Right?

Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned here.

Note: Contains spoilers for Season 4 Episode 18 "Maud Pie."
