Sunburst is perfectly happy with who he is. He couldn't be happier with his relationship with his boyfriend, and being gay hasn't been an issue for him for years. But when it comes to being himself in public...

Well, it's a bit more of a struggle.

So much of a struggle that there must be something more to it than just a simple case of social insecurity. And it's up to his boyfriend to find out why.

A massive thank you to Maxwell Edison again for being my amazing editor. He has been an absolute legend!!

Flash Sentry is Captain of the Ponyville Guard, personal bodyguard to Princess Twilight Sparkle, and a big brother to Scootaloo and First Base. One of these roles is harder than the others, and not even Flash's military training can help him with that.

On hearing the story of the Mirror Pool, Starlight Glimmer questions what happened to all the Pinkie clones sent back to the pool and the ethics of apparently eliminating sentient beings. Further investigation shows that the pool has the magical means to accommodate an unlimited number of orphaned souls. This is put to the test by an infinite set of Pinkie Pies.

It was 1825, and it's been a year since Ludwig van Beethoven had premiered his Ninth Symphony. One evening as he did his daily walks in the Austrian countryside, a surprise storm forced the composer back into his cheap, rented room. Where a mysterious shadow whisked him away to Equestria, taking everything, including his music along with him.

Holding Ludwig captive against his will, the shadow tells him that if he ever hopes to see all he knows and loves in Vienna, he would have to give him something in exchange. Something priceless that only he could give. The shadow demands that he'll give Beethoven one year to compose his Tenth Symphony, or give up all hope that he will ever return home.

Now with a reading by Savrin Drake!

This story is a sequel to Prince Blueblood: The Politician

This is the story of how a brilliant politician changed Equestria. He saw the corruption growing under the Princesses' muzzles, and sought to destroy it.

This is the story of how Prince Blueblood wrote the Equestrian Constitution.

Hey. I'm Noteworthy. Right now I am having a discussion with my client and good friend A. K.

It is going to be a long... LONG day.

Dedicated to my editor Ephraim Blue on the occasion of his 16th birthday. The kid's almost five years younger than me, and a thousand times smarter. I hope this story about a long suffering editor will act as a modest and heartfelt thank you.

Big Macintosh told Applejack that I lost the grass seeds I was supposed to be planting. But how on Equestria did I lose them in the first place?

Only I know how... and I think it's about time I came clean.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Told in first person from Caramel's point of view.

A certain baby princess doesn't want to go to bed, even though it's past her bedtime and she's super sleepy. With Cadance already ready to just hit the sack, it's Shining Armour's turn to put Flurry Heart to bed. He should have picked a bedtime story first....

A quick and cute one-shot, coming from a dad who learned this one the hard way.
