Successful mares who aren't princesses tend to be treated with double standards. The ice cold archetype of a mare who is so power hungry she gives up everything for her career is one, the stigma of single mothers not being enough for their children is another.

Stellar Flare has smashed all the stereotypes, and is proud of it.

Inspired by the song "The Man" by Taylor Swift.

Luna had always enjoyed the night, even when she was but just a filly. She never really knew many ponies who enjoyed the night. That is, until one fateful night when she met a unicorn and discovered that she's not alone with her feelings,

This story is a sequel to Starlight's Inflatable Princess

An alternate take on the original where Starlight accidentally casts the spell upon herself before she can do it to Twilight. Needless to say it rather en-lightening. Trixie finds it amusing that's for sure.

Cheerilee has always loved being a teacher. Helping young minds to blossom is what she does best.

So what's a mare like her to do when the EEA pays her a visit and requests that she take a day off from her job? A day off from teaching for the first time in forever, or so it feels.

Well, Cheerilee will soon discover that there are some things she can do that don't relate to teaching, things that should keep her plenty busy for a day. And maybe it'll awaken something new inside of her.

(Collab with Latecomer, takes place after the events of "Student Counsel".)

Although Silverstream was found safe and sound, Terramar is still far from relieved about how things turned out and how they got to where they were. As the two siblings head back to Mount Aris it isn't long before Terramar reveals just how worried he was about Silverstream and how worried everyone else was too.

This causes Silverstream to reflect back to a time when she was worried about Terramar as a child. A time when fear was something she knew all too well, back when she lived in Seaquestria.

As Silverstream reflects on this she'll come to realize something truly important about her little brother. And Terramar may found out that his sister's motivations are deeper than they initially seem.

Hearth's Warming is just around the corner, which for Quibble Pants presents a bit of a dilemma. It's his first Hearth's Warming with his new family and he's desperate to find a good present for Wind Sprint.

Once again he decides to call on the help of his friend Rainbow Dash, this time paying her a visit in Ponyville in the hopes she'll be able to help him out. And lucky for him, his friend has some time to spare.

Can Rainbow Dash point Quibble in the right direction again? Or this a dilemma that Quibble will have to figure out on his own?

Mother's Day, a special day for mothers from all walks of life. And for a certain group of friends in Ponyville, it's about to get even more special!

Pinkie Pie is able to convince her friends to get all of their moms together for one great big Mother's Day celebration in Ponyville. And all five moms agree, despite the fact that only one of them is actually native to Ponyville.

However, as the preparations get under way and the big day arrives, there's a particular pony who isn't looking forward to the celebration or Mother's Day in general. It's an unexpected pony with an unusual family situation. Little does she suspect that this Mother's Day will change the way she approaches the holiday.

(Story idea requested by superfun. Takes place before "The Ending of the End".)

In her spare time while preparing to take over the School of Friendship, Starlight Glimmer begins to get into spell experimentation again. And one day she calls Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy over to volunteer with a swapping spell.

When Starlight casts it, Pinkie and Fluttershy inadvertently end up having their personalities completely swapped! Starlight then frantically searches for a way to reverse the effects and return her friends to normal.

Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy decide that with their swapped personalities it'll be easier if they switch jobs and do each others' work: Pinkie at Sweet Feather Sanctuary and Fluttershy at Sugarcube Corner. Both will soon learn just how difficult the other's work really is, and may just develop a new appreciation for what the work involves.

Today is the best day of Twilight's life, for she has just succeeded in her dream of getting into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. But along with her new status as a student of Celestia, there's also the matter of the unexpected surprise that accompanied her entry exam. A surprise she must now introduce to her family.

This story is a sequel to Familial Words

In the aftermath of the final round of the Sibling Supreme Competition, Spike has finally found his place in Twilight's family. He now can say, without even the faintest shadow of a doubt, that he is Twilight and Shining Armor's little brother.

Technically, this also means that Twilight Velvet and Night Light are his parents.

And so, as soon as the opportunity presents itself, Twilight and Spike decide to hop aboard the next train to Canterlot and give their parents a visit...
