Strawberry Sunrise makes some bold claims about her home-grown strawberries. The good citizens of Ponyville take these claims a tad too seriously.

Originally a Hearth's Warming gift for Red (<3). This version has been edited here and there, and the ending has been tweaked ;)

Being a pony from a human world is hard. Being a Queen's officer is harder.

No need to be familiar with the crossover source material ahead of time.

Thanks to Sledge115 and Raleigh for pre-reads, and various Discord denizens for idea bouncing.

Sequel: Fusion.

Twilight finds a brick in her shower.

Now with an audio reading by Mystery Pony Fiction! Give it a listen HERE!

Yes, I intentionally misaligned the cover art. Why? Because I can, and I will.

This story is a sequel to Humbling Healthcare

After many weeks of scheming, Chrysalis has successfully infiltrated the Canterlot Castle to get some much-needed revenge. She's spent weeks carefully perfecting her routine, flawlessly becoming a maid for her foe, and she can practically taste victory on her tongue - or so she thinks...

A dancer becomes more lithe. Legs toned and steps light. A boxer might become a solid wall. Some professions change us in some way, some more obvious than others.

When they do, you can feel like you've lost control of yourself, your future, and the expectations of those around you.

Twilight's a powerful unicorn. Her practice and study in spell and the magic arts has molded her body into one more capable in that art. She never expected following her passion would have some obvious consequences.

She does not handle it well.

Story contains implied self harm.

Friends aware of her problem help with her immediate needs, but they find themselves feeling helpless for something more long term. Rarity and Fluttershy contemplate Twilight's more invisible needs in this story.

Author's Note: I wrote this years ago.
But I never published it until today. Many reasons for that, many of them related to poor mental health and low self worth. The only way I could publish this now is by just submitting it without a final reading. Please keep in mind this is myself from a time five years or more ago.

I commissioned artwork for it from a friend, but they ended up dropping off the map before they finished it. I contemplated not sharing it in it's unfinished state. I decided that, much like the story, it's better to be seen than to be squirreled away into obscurity.

I hope this story finds you well. I hope above all things that it does no harm. Thank you for your time.

This story is a sequel to The Perfect Drink

Every year, on Hearth's Warming, Berry Punch makes a drink for ponies. One special, perfect drink for each pony that needs it. This year, Ocellus wants one.

A Jinglemas 2019 gift for GaPJaxie

"You magnificent horse! I can't believe you did it! What you wrote is fantastic and I'm going to give it a proper review. But damn, you outdid yourself!" - GaPJaxie

"Friggin' amazing! Your sequel is basically everything I wanted out of a sequel and better than I could have written!" - Petricord

"This is, in many ways, the best kind of sequel (and clearly a labour of passion, given Shakespearicles wrote it for GapJaxie for Jinglemas as a sequel to the Jinglemas story he got from GapJaxie the prior year)." - Ghost Mike

Celestia has a friendly chat with her other half.

"Breaking, comedic stories found to generate more attention than sadfics, local Internet User too stupid to notice"

Art is the cover to DAYBREAKER by Vylet Pony, drawn by Alumx.

EDIT: Trending on 9/15/2022. I guess this really is getting a second chapter.

For Celestia's entire life, and time immemorial before, ponies have lived in three tribes. The magical Unicorn Kingdom in the far north moves the sun and the moon, the hard-working earth ponies grow food, and the proud pegasi of the Cloud Empire control the weather. They coexist out of necessity in a delicate balance of trade, although they have little trust or friendship for each other.

But now, the North is getting colder. Crops are failing, and the balance is crumbling. In the midst of the world's freezing, a sinister plan unfolds, spelling further disaster. Everything hangs on the precipice of catastrophe.

All Celestia ever really wanted was to be assigned to work on the sun control team, but her world needs heroes – before it's too late.

Pre-read / edited by Georg, Ceffyl Dwr, The Dobermans, Telepony, and Beltorn. Thanks, all of you!
