There are plenty of things on Netflix that aren't romantic, and it turns out that conversation hearts and popcorn are a decent mix.

Or maybe she won't, Corduroy Road has a backhoe and she's content in her backhoe.

Doing laundry is always a chore, and sometimes I envied my pony neighbor for rarely having to do laundry. Until I found out she wasn't allowed to wash her blankets.

It’s an unfair rule and shouldn’t apply to ponies, but the laundromat clerk won’t budge. A creative solution is required.

Back in Equestria, the spring equinox is a hard line, the last day of snow, winter is over, full stop.

On Earth, that’s not exactly the case. The equinox might have come and gone, the clocks might have been set to a summer schedule, it might be April and still snowing in Missouri.

For four years, a pair of alien observers have been living in Ponyville under assumed identities, performing cultural studies and avoiding unwelcome attention. But when a piece of advanced technology is stolen from them, the observers must do everything in their power to get it back—preferably before their superiors decide to blow up the planet.

A crossover with the 'Culture' novels of Iain M. Banks. No prior knowledge necessary for reading.

This story is a sequel to A Sleeping Rose


Lily's conspiracy newspaper said that there was a monster near Ponyville, and while it was mostly wild speculation, town gossip said that Ginger Gold suddenly had somebody—something—unexpected working in her woodlot.

Lily had her thoughts about that, and so did I. Assuming it actually existed, would Ginger Gold hire it if it was really a monster? I didn’t think so, but the only way to find out was to see for myself.

This story is a sequel to Cuddles IV


Long days at work mean getting home late, and they also can lead to a bored unicorn trying to cook on her own. The pan will never be the same, and the less said about the spinach, the better. Luckily, there are plenty of restaurants and food carts to order food from, even if a wild-caught ribeye salad with a side of kaleslaw is confusing on multiple levels.


A belated entry into Categorial Grant’s Cuddlefic Contest, because a series named ‘Cuddles’ is legally obligated to participate. That’s a fact, just like how you can’t transmute post-transition metal to a transition metal.
