The odds of ramming face-first into the same pony twice are high enough, but by the third time you start to question if the universe is doing this on purpose.
Twilight wrestles with how do deal with her rapidly developing crush while said crush helps her find her way around the palace of the Crystal Empire. Feelings are hard, especially when you have zero prior experience with this particular sort.

This is a Flashlight fic, but it was written less as a romance and more as a character study on how Twilight behaves when she's got a crush. Cover art is mine.

Upon seeing Timber Spruce and Twilight hit it up so well, Flash begins to realize that the likelihood of him being with either Twilight was becoming slim to none. Though it pains him, he's ready to give up on her. But, when a certain someone comes and surprises him, he may reconsider.

Set during the ending of Legend of Everfree. Minor spoilers.

This story is a sequel to "I want to be an uncle...THAT'S AN ORDER, PRIVATE!"

Flash is pretty sure he's not ready to have a foal to look after yet,
but he's also not ready for Shining beating him to a pulp if he went against his orders.
So, he tries reasoning with the princess, perhaps she has a different view on this topic,
and she does...in all the wrong ways.

Aawthorz noatz: People wanted a sequel, and like it or not, here it is.

This story is a sequel to "I want to be an uncle...THAT'S AN ORDER, PRIVATE!"

With an order from Shining, and no help from Cadance, Flash sets of on his "mission" to go to Twilight's.
Unfortunately, the situation goes in a completely different direction than he thought.

Authors regrets: Here it is. The "Threequil" that I'm sure many (or no one) wanted.
At first, I didn't really want to write this fic, seeing as how this is probably frowned upon, but I knew others wanted to see some conclusion to all of this, and it was kinda fun writing, so here it is. The last of the "I want to be a" Series...hopefully.

Flash Sentry has been dating a certain purple alicorn for a few months now, and they make the most of their time together whenever they get time alone

Written to celebrate three hundred-fifty followers.

Just a quickie, written in an hour

Families are a wonderful thing. The goodnight kisses from your mother you received as a foal. The ball games you played with your father as a teenager. The warmth, love and compassion that they will always give you.
Twilight loves her family with all her heart, but she isn't so sure she should take Flash Sentry home to meet them just yet. But it's what all the books say she should do, so it's what she should do.
Unfortunately for Twilight, families are also great at embarrassing you. This is a story of family, love, and blazing infernos.

Shining doesn't feel very keen on having a foal or filly to look after.
He'd much rather have a niece or a nephew.
So, with Twilight being his only sibling,
and the only pony she seems to have a thing for is Flash,
(at least, that's what Shining thinks.)
The captain puts two and two together and comes up with one simple solution.
"PRIVATE! I order you to buck my sister!"

~And to this day, Atlas still regrets ever writing this fan fic~

A newly appointed princess, Twilight Sparkle, has struck many with her beauty, but none other than Flash Sentry. An ordinary guard sworn to guard Princess Celestia and other royals with his life. Unfortunately, it is against rules to have "feelings" for anypony they protect. If Flash Sentry is caught loving Twilight, it will destroy his reputation he worked so hard to earn, and be stripped of his position as "Royal Guard".

Flash Sentry must battle his own feelings to keep the job he had worked so much for since he was a foal. As time goes on, it becomes more and more difficult to hold back his emotion and on top of this is an abusive Captain who controls the Royal Guard...

It's the day of the Friendship Games. All of Crystal Prep is gathered at Canterlot High, including Twilight Sparkle. All she wanted to do was conduct some research, but for some reason, everyone at Canterlot High seems to know her, including a certain blue-haired guitar player.

She bumped into him once. Then she bumped into him twice. Love can really be born out of seemingly pretty much nothing. Sometimes a quite, rational love. Sometimes a mad violent and wildly passionate love.

But when Twilight learns that Flash Sentry is going to marry another mare, her feelings break loose and she finds herself caught between accepting her defeat or deciding to fight for the one she loves against all odds.
