Source Code, the pony from another planet... Planet Earth. He was once a game developer for a small indie game company that he and his friends made together. Now, a blue coated unicorn with a yellow mane, somehow finds his way into being tutored by Princess Celestia herself. He soon finds out about magic, and subsequently learns about how performing spells is grouped into three different groups. Rune Based Magic, as he soon discovers, is very close to his old hobby...

Coding.

Will Source Code make a name for himself? Will he live life out like he had on Earth in a dead end job? How is he coping about being forcefully ripped from his comfortable, though boring, life on Earth?

Disclaimer: 'coding' is being used very loosely.

When a dark enemy begins hunting the young wizard Twilight Sparkle, the walls of the fortress library of Candlekeep cannot protect her. Not even her mentor, the archmage Star Swirl the Bearded, can keep her safe. With a price on her head and the shadow of death on her heels, her only hope for salvation is the Magic of Friendship. Perhaps, with powerful allies at her side, she can find answers and uncover the truth about her destiny.

(This story is inspired by the Baldur's Gate CRPG series by Bioware, but you do not have to be familiar with BG to understand its events)

A question that has plagued philosophical ponies for... well just over a decade since Princess Cadance was granted the title. Deep Thinker, a member of the guard, is one such pony. Unfortunately whilst thinking on it he states his conclusion out loud, behind the very Princesses themselves.

Inspired by a Tumblr post here, about what would happen to the show if Twilight Sparkle was killed off and Tempest Shadow introduced in her place.

I made the first chapter of this story as an entry in More is Less, but since getting ideas for new additions to the world, and not feeling like they all properly fit the mold of that anthology series, I have decided to put them into this story.
This is still, on some level, an anthology, but all the events are related and I’m just looking into them at different points, akin to a normal story but with more time between chapters.

Story commissioned by Tailsic

A downtrodden and isolated Princess Twilight grudgingly celebrates her 1000th birthday without friends. With Equestria beginning to unravel, she becomes more withdrawn, obsessing over lost friends and family and glory days long past. But her prospects seem to brighten when she is gifted a strange mirror that connects her with another Twilight Sparkle who lives in a better world.

An unflattering article has led Celestia to have to come to terms with an uncomfortable truth; that she has a big butt. Luna Finds this hilarious and torments her sister.

Princess Twilight Sparkle travels to an abandoned ancient castle along with the Royal Sisters in order to investigate reports of inexplicable incidents that have been taking place there, suspected to be the work of bitter spirits. However, she has no books, or almost any source of information to provide her with leads.

Almost, except for a pure white teapot.

2023 edit: I started this story 8 years ago. I'm continuing it on a whim. My writing style has changed since, but most likely I won't be redoing/tweaking/editing the original 5 chapters. Hope you enjoy anyways!

It was meant to be a friendly visit with the two Royal Changelings, Thorax and Pharynx. But during an attempt at the cutie mark swap spell, Celestia and Luna suddenly find themselves swapping places with the two. Now Thorax and Pharynx are the alicorns, and they're the changelings. To make things even more confusing, somehow no one else knows anything happened. It's up to the royal brothers and royal sisters to fix the problem themselves.

Celestia is saddened upon the realization that she doesn't have any friends. Upon a suggestion by Luna, Celestia decides to disguise herself as her younger unicorn form. She travels to Ponyville in an attempt to make a friend, and maybe she'll be able to finally make a friend.
