StormFlash was just a royal guard. He never thought that love could just suddenly strike the heart at will. When he falls for a Griffin, the two fight to stay together though all kinds of hardship.

This story is a sequel to Hive Alive

Non-contiguous and non-canon micro-stories related to Hive Alive. Just for fun.

Being in a pony hive can be a little strange. Especially when certain ponies have feelings for other ponies and everypony knows it intimately. The hivemind races at a speed that non-changelings have difficulty keeping up with. Every moment feels like a thousand...

Too Hot
Twilight tries her hoof at flirting. Chrysalis misses it.

Perfect Marriage
Chrysalis preps for her wedding. Rarity fusses about.

The Hive Before Halloween
It's almost Halloween and Chrysalis is stealing candy.

Take Two
Hive Alive is a movie production and Discord is the director.

Shy My Heart
Twilight comes to terms with her feelings for Fluttershy and what it might mean for the others.

NOTES
1. I'll keep this incomplete until I finish Hive Alive. I might post more stuff to this in the meantime.
2. Apparently, I'm willing to poke fun at my own productions. It's good to step back once in a while and have a good laugh.

Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the Changeling Hives, feels a disturbance. Something unusual, something evil... something festive. It doesn't take her long to discover that the source of this dread is a pony holiday by the name of "Hearth's Warming Eve," and it takes even less time for her to decide what she has to do now: She must steal it.

Yes. The whole thing.

When the guards find a foal crying in the city streets, they bring him to Celestia's attention. Soon after, It becomes apparent he has fallen through every crack in Equestria's society. Feeling she has failed the colt, Celestia takes him into her own home.

Prince Blueblood is a strange egomaniac, forever trying to make himself appear bigger and better than he truly is. From buying the affection of mares with fancy dinners and jewels to using his status to bring other nobles to flock around him. But following a humiliating encounter in Canterlot with a vacationing constable he has restricted himself to the palace, and been his best, which is the worst.

Then while he's in the kitchen pinching food he thinks he has found an impudent servant. There follows a curious collection of experiences.

Dedicated to BronyStories. The terrible Prince he created moved me to make this one. Also to GingerNutGin, who made another Blueblood that wasn't terrible but was quite amusing.

A flip of a coin. A twist of fate.

Twilight Sparkle, younger sister of Princess Celestia's personal student, Shining Armor, grew up listening to her brother's bygone dreams of joining the elite of the elite: The Royal Guard.

Now, fresh out of the Academy, this young mare is ready to prove herself equal to the deeds of the great soldiers she read about as a filly. Too bad the princess she ends up protecting isn't Celestia.

The Canterlot Archive decides to create a document listing the age of every pony in Equestria. It's impossible to mess this up.

The Canterlot Archive messes this up.

This story is a sequel to A Letter Long Overdue

Celestia has long since forgotten how to be anything other than the sun princess. There was a time she was a beloved sister, a loving aunt... a different mare.

When did she lose that mare?

Sequel to A Letter Long Overdue. I plan for there to be another piece to this story, possibly a multi-chapter fic.

Celestia has spent a thousand years moving her ponies like pawns on the board.

Sometimes she forgets that lies can hurt more than the truth, until she is called out in one last letter.

Written after a discussion in the comments of An Age Long Since Passed. Thanks to Zealous Shift and The Great Derpsby for inspiring it!

(Some ships sail themselves. This is not one of them.)

After the Grand Galloping Gala, a certain snobbish prince is stricken with amnesia, with no recollection of what he has been doing with his life up till now. He only remembers two things: the golden-maned mare who rescued him from the chaos of the ballroom, and that she called him a "prince".

(BluebloodxApplejack. Written way back between seasons one and two, so obviously not quite canon. This shipping started as a bit of a joke, but I grew attached and wrote this for fun.)
