Throughout the multiverse, sphinxes are enigmatic beings. Some are merely monsters with inscrutable motives, while others guide entire civilizations towards goals only they understand. No matter the world, a sphinx is a mystery given form, and Equestria is no different.

Of course, some mysteries have more satisfying solutions than others.

Following the events of "Traveler," Twilight goes to Canterlot to deliver her report on what has transpired since the Doctor's arrival in Ponyville directly to Princess Celestia. She leaves the Doctor in Spike's capable claws, asking him to show Equestria's newest arrival around town while the TARDIS rests and repairs itself from the trials of the previous day.

Although at first distraught at being stranded in the seemingly serene township of Ponyville, the Doctor finds himself reexamining his initial assumptions about the ponies, the land of Equestria, and his compulsive need to travel when he is confronted with the miraculous, impossible events surrounding Ponyville's resident party mare: Pinkie Pie.

The Pinkie Conundrum is the first in a series of continuity branching off from the foundations established by the Doctor Whooves stories: Number 12 and Traveler by the very talented Squeak-anon and all references to these two works of fanfiction is credited to him. Also, while this is a separate continuity from any future works by Squeak-anon, it is strongly recommended to read these two fictions before reading Pinkie Conundrum.

This work has been developed and published with permission and blessing of Squeak-anon, my original inspiration.

Hello, I'm Mary. I'm a mother of two, married to the most wonderful man I could hope for and live what I consider to be, the life I've always wanted. So... why oh why, in the wide, wide world of whys, did this happen to me?

This is my story, for better or for worse, about how things in my life became beyond unbearable.

After a night of accidental debauchery that she cannot seem to remember, sophomore student at Canterlot Community College Fluttershy wakes up to find a strange woman named 'Eris' standing at her door! The strange woman claims that she's going to be Fluttershy's new live-in maid of all things! But Eris is far more than just a strange, seven-foot-tall woman in a French maid outfit... she's the human world's nascent spirit of chaos! And whoever heard of a spirit of chaos washing clothes and dusting shelves?!

Not to mention Eris's sudden reappearance has stirred up other ancient magical beings from their slumber, including the savage Queen Umbra, the enigmatic Chrysalis, and the Paladin-Goddesses Selene and Amaterasu.

But as crazy as the situation may be, perhaps things will work out for the best? Fluttershy's been incredibly lonely ever since the rest of her friends from Canterlot High went off to other colleges. And underneath all her bluster, maybe... just maybe... all Eris needs is a friend to convince her she isn't alone anymore.

...or maybe Fluttershy's cottage will be washed away in a tsunami of caramel-flavored cottage cheese.

...Yeah, that sounds about right.

(Author's Notes: Crossover between Equestria Girls and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid because I'm apparently a hot pile of otaku garbage. The first few chapters may closely resemble some episodes of the anime, but it will diverge from there. This takes place in the near future of an alternate EqG universe because I've only seen the first Equestria Girls and don't really care enough to watch the others. Also because I'm not gonna write them with "Doug" skin colors. They've still got the multicolored hair, but they have human skin. Because I said so, that's why.)

(Teen/Sex rating is for comical nudity, lewd discussions, possibly-too-in-depth descriptions, and maybe some light touching, but there will be no explicit sex)

There are 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and humanity is determined to explore every one. We send probes, probes with the blueprints to reproduce human explorers upon arrival. Uninhabited worlds the galaxy over can be colonized and populated, until after many years they too can join the vast throng of interstellar civilization. But if a probe is very, very lucky, it will land on a populated world instead. Equestria is one such world.

Even so, it's far from perfect for colonization, not with an environment lethal to human life. But each probe is resourceful and armed with the greatest machine intelligence mankind has devised. If placing a human mind into a newly manufactured human body won't work, it will just have to get a little more creative.

Fantastic prereading help from: Chyre, Danger Noodle, Doctor Disco, and Doggyshakespeare (who also did the Esperanto translation). Thank you all for helping to make this story more readable and more consistent for everyone.

Applejack awakens after a terrible injury and finds that her parents have never died. Was her orphaned life just a fevered dream? As AJ tries to cope with her new reality, old memories begin to haunt her nightmares. These shadows begin to follow her and AJ’s family begins to worry about her sanity. Determined to find the truth, AJ retraces the events prior to her injury and uncovers a secret that her parents hid years ago. She embarks on a quest to right a wrong left unfinished and her journey puts the relationships with her siblings to the test. Can this second chance truly bring a happy ending, or is it just another shot to set things right?

What if Twilight had a friend before heading to Ponyville, what if there was a seventh Element of Harmony, what if this pony stayed with Twilight in Ponyville. how would things have turned out

Mistakes. Everyone makes them. Sometimes, we forget what day it is and forget to wish someone a happy birthday. Or we knock over a glass that held someone's drink.

Sometimes though, we make... bigger mistakes.

And in the case of Twilight Sparkle, a "bigger mistake" equals setting off Equestria's largest volcano: the Yellowstone caldera.

(REWRITTEN)

I've had probably the worst day ever. As if the hard days at school, crappy job and bad life weren't enough, now I have humiliation to deal with on top of that. First, my bullying older brothers. Then high school. Then my break-up. And now this. And it just follows me everywhere I go.

But no matter what, no matter when, there's one thing in this world who is always there for me. It's been my only comfort for years, but even when I'm at my worst, she's always there for me.

Rated "Teen" for some cursing.

Nopony likes criticism. Someday, eventually, somepony will hate something you write. Pinkie Pie is about to learn this the hard way, as she gives her latest story to Twilight to read. But as she reads and lists off the story's numerous obvious flaws, things begin to look a bit familiar.

Really familiar, actually.

A satire/crackfic written (at 2:30 AM, in about two hours) in humorous retaliation to my numerous criticisms as of late. Beginning to think I have issues.

Partially inspired by my proofing work for lord_steak. Thanks!

Also, my 30th story! Yay!
