Cheesy pick-up lines? Really? They're so dumb!
Who comes up with this stuff?
There's no way that actually works.

...Does it?

All ponies daydream. Some are about a life they’d rather live. Others are about a special somepony they have yet to meet. Idol Hooves is not a pony, but he too daydreams, if not very often and never for long. What are they about? Mostly nonsense. These are just a few of his more interesting Idol Daydreams.

A third party spin-off of vdrake77's, The Changeling of the Guard.

All chapters originate in at least some part from idle conversations in The Changeling of Discourse server. Eleven chapters are planned.

Additional Characters (Eventually): Doctor Horse, Maud Pie, Pony Joe, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Twilight Sparkle

When his friend Wispy Nimbus asks for his help Royal Guard Idol Hooves (not a Changeling) happily obliges. He is not exactly sure what a Hearth's Warming Calendar is but, Wispy assures him, it is for a noble cause.

Wispy would never lie to him, now would she? She wouldn't possibly have a secret agenda? An unscrupulous motive or dastardly intention? She would never, knowingly, manipulate her good friend, now would she?

Merry Christmas all! A funny, stupid, vaguely Christmas-themed short story for your consumption!

For some time now the Bat Pony Nightguard Mothchaser has nursed an infatuation on one Idol Hooves. A sterling example of all Unicorn Stallions (as far as Mothchaser was concerned) and prominent member of the Royal Guard. Tonight she would finally take the bold move from secretly watching him from afar to secretly slipping messages to him at night.

However, as she begins her nightly delivery, Mothchaser stumbles upon a secret that is going to make her wish that she had never gone out after dark in the first place.

Set in vdrake77's "Changeling of the Guard" story, this is a short and completely non-canon snippet starring poor Mothchaser.

An adolescent, and starving, Changeling Princess has captured Princess-to-be Cadence, and on the night she was supposed to start foalsitting, too. Cadence refuses to feed her love until the job is done. Chrysalis knows what she needs to do.

It's finally strawberry season.

They're big and juicy and just ripe for anything.

Especially...a fruit bat.

This story is a sequel to Your Own Fault for Leaving Fruit Out

After the whole strawberry incident, Anon decided to switch to mangoes for a while.

Will this be any better?

"Sub-Level Five doesn't exist." That's the official statement of the Stairway company.

Washing out from the Night Guard program is usually a death sentence to any similar career. When Astral Sentinel was asked if he was interested in a security job, the Thestral obviously jumped at the chance.

There was just one oddity about the job. Well, there were quite a few, but mainly just one.
He just never, ever could acknowledge the existence of Sub-Level Five.

When a complete lock-down traps the Thestral inside the odd facility, he has to break that one rule. As the security systems begin to eradicate all life inside the building, Astral has to venture down to the elevators that officially don't exist, to a floor nopony alive will speak of.

He soon finds out that some things are best left buried beneath rock and stone.

"This story is simultaneously horrifying and adorable." -Witchery

Takes place far after Season 9. Although, it could take place at any time...(or in the Radverse, as some people call it.) This thing took on a mind of its own.

Seriously.

Read on if you want to join Astral for the ride.
I hope you brought your crowbar.

In later chapters, loose spoilers for Timeless, Sunspots, and Cure for a Toxin
Warnings for creepy atmosphere, gore, violence, and brief mentions of sexual content/assault (nothing explicit, only implied.)

Despite this being a horror story with unpleasant elements, it's not grimdark or a depressing tale. Lots more ups and downs, but overall it's a positive read of good vs evil, love and fluff; those are the types stories I write, after all. I just want to let everyone know what they're getting into, and don't want any readers blindsided due to some of the content.
(Not a romance involving a 'herd')

Due to some unfortunate weather management, Twilight is stuck at home with her favourite foal-sitter Cadance. However, that didn't stop them from having some fun together at home. When Twilight's big brother comes home, it seems even the rain has planned a chance meeting of romance.
