Rainbow Dash has never been one to express feelings. She’s never been one to accept help, and she’s never been one to show the weaker side.

And, no one will argue, Wonderbolt training is… well, really hard.

One day, Rainbow… almost tears apart her wing, literally. And Soarin, “the coltfriend”, knows she’s taking it too far. Way too far.

But no matter what he does, or will do, or wants to do, it’s like she doesn’t even want help. Even though he knows it would be so simple to just tell Spitfire, tell the Wonderbolts, tell a doctor, tell somepony, she just doesn’t seem to get it.

It’ll take a lot for her to finally understand.

Flurry Heart spent most of her foalhood listening to stories of favourite Aunt Twilight Sparkle's many accomplishments.

Now a young mare seeking her place in the world, Flurry has attempted to model herself in Twilight's image. One could even say that Flurry idolizes her aunt.

Twilight wishes she didn't.

It's time for a chat.

Soarin seems to be unable to find a marefriend. Hopefully Spitfire, his lifelong and closest friend, is here to help him. May he likes it or not.

After inadvertently running into Soarin one night when out flying, Rainbow Dash invites him as her 'Plus one' to Twilight's Hearth Warming party.

It's definitely not a date though.

Until suddenly it is.

This story is a sequel to Direction

A year ago, Scootaloo's parents were arrested, and Scootaloo was placed in Rainbow Dash's care. Now, she visits them for the first time, to say what's on her mind, even if it's hard.

A Nuptialverse story. Takes place during Direction.

This story is a sequel to Families

Third in the Nuptialverse...

Twilight Sparkle has done much for Equestria. If it weren't for her, Equestria would be destroyed three times over by now.

So what happens when she has to leave? What happens when she and Spike are forced to depart from Equestria in order to fulfill their duties? And what happens when there's still important things at home to do?

Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash now have to get along without the one who leads them. All of Equestria is counting on them. Can they do it?

AU only post-season 2, since the basic idea for this fic was created long before it aired. Events similar to season 3 have happened, all of which will be revealed. Strongly recommended you read Post Nuptials and Families first.

Before becoming superstar of the Wondercolts Basketball Team at Canterlot University, Soarin had been eight years-old. A skinny and softy kid who only wanted to play soccer with the children of his age. The little boy other little boys mocked.
Thankfully, even a skinny softy rejected boy can find his best playmate. Only, it takes an expected form: six years-old, bratty with magenta eyes and rainbow hair.

Part of the Truth About Girls universe

This story is a sequel to Post Nuptials

In the aftermath of the wedding, Spike is bitter and avoiding everyone. Twilight's determined to find out what's bothering her charge, but she walks a very fine line when dealing with an emotionally distraught child.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash suspects something's wrong with Scootaloo, so she starts spending more time with her in hopes of picking the secret from her brain. As she begins to truly mentor the young filly for the first time ever, she begins to see the advantages to having a little sister.

And while all this is going on, Pinkie is struggling with some old family issues that have been brought to the surface, meaning she might have to confront her past at last.

This story is a sequel to Post Nuptials

In the wake of her failed assault on Canterlot, Chrysalis is left stuck in the desert to brood on her failures. Angry and bitter, she reflects back on the events that led to her becoming the Changeling Queen.

Takes place in the same universe as Post Nuptials, though you don't have to read it first. I promise none of my other fics are going to be this dark.
