Flurry Heart is not the Princess of Love, but maybe she should be. She's certainly never met anypony able to match her taste in relationships. So many ponies with the wrong partners... It's sad, really. And then they have the audacity to say her pairings are wrong.

Written for the Writeoff's Ship It prompt.

Reading by StraightToThePointStudio

Rarity's family name is in shambles, and her fortune is nonexistent. To return what her father squandered, she and her good friend Pinkie Pie turn to piracy, commandeering a magical airship and kidnapping the princess's personal student.

When Princess Celestia learns of Twilight and Applejack's abduction, she doesn't agree to pay the ransom. No, she hires the sky's greatest tactical mind, the Daring Swordspony Rainbow Dash, and her sidekick, Fluttershy. As the two groups engage in a game of cat and mouse, more dangerous threats hang on the horizon. Aztec Curses, angry gods, and a mysterious figure known only as the Derp Pirate Roberts.

Will the six Elements of Harmony be able to gather the seven pieces of eight, or will the world fall to utter chaos, and rise up as an empire of anarchy and piracy?

In a few desperate days of worldwide crisis and catastrophe, Twilight might have to betray her first and truest love.

To save the world, it might be worth it.

Content Warning: Alternate universe follows somewhat different laws of physics, alternate universe astronomy.

Dragon Lord Ember took her throne when she won the Bloodstone Scepter, and its ancient magic which controls dragon minds.

In a world linked to Equestria, a very different Ember chafes under her father's leadership, hungry to take ownership of the instinct-controlling power of the Bloodstone Crown.

Their two worlds are about to meet. And only one dragon will stand between Equestria and the deadly, unforgiving call of the wild.

"Equal parts character piece and action movie, and it is amazing. I can’t recommend it enough." –FanOfMostEverything
"For anyone who thinks that ‘mere’ fanfiction cannot be art, I can safely add this to the list of counterarguments." –cleverpun
"This is a good story, an important story, because it is so very relevant. Behind the fire, scales and teeth, is a very simple but incredibly real story about finding one’s true place in the world." –Venerable Ro

Highly Recommended by Present Perfect! "Treat yourself to the most unique story on Fimfiction ... a pulse-pounding thriller that explores Dragon Lord Ember in ways no one else has."
Featured by Seattle's Angels! "[Horizon] goes the extra mile ... if you’re looking for a great character-driven story about characters confronting their EqG counterparts, but especially if you are a fan of Ember or just dragons in general, then go check this out."
Recommended by brokenimage321! "Drop what you're doing and go read [it] ... A moving story about inadequacy and adaptation. And it has some of the best combat scenes I've ever read, in any genre, period."
Recommended by HapHazred! "Distinctively written ... Exciting, interesting, and gets more intense and cerebral as time goes on."
Reviewed by cleverpun! "[W]ell worth your time."

A huge thank you to Skywriter for prereading assistance!

For a princess, there's no greater honor than holding dominion over a celestial body, and now Twilight is given the opportunity to make her mark upon the night sky.

If only somepony had taught her how to do it.

*Story takes place close to the end of Season 6
*Teen Rated for tongue-in-cheek teasing and less-than-conventional relationships. Suggestive, but nothing explicit shown.
*Features a romance, but more of the budding kind than characters chasing. Between: Luna and Twilight
*Editing Help and Advice during the writing from Sweet Sensei ClanCrusher

*Edit: While the story and premise has aged with the series finale. I hope readers can still find pleasure in the themes written.

With Twilight holding court, more and more ponies come to visit Ponyville. Royal Pin, the only tailor in Ponyville, has too much business to handle by himself. When he hires help to ease the pressure, at the suggestion of Rarity, he finds a partner in business and love.

The music industry in Equestria has some pretty stringent standards. Feather Bangs has to deal with these, and ultimately decide which he cares about more: his living, or his love.

Every mahou filia fights for a wish. Some choose to fight for their lives, others to heal brokenness, still others to save the ones they love. But Ditzy was different. She chose to save the whole world from a cruel cycle, a cycle of despair. As an consequence, no one can remember her as anything other than a simple background pony.

No one, that is, but Octavia.

Sightings of a mountaintop phantom line up with a few too many worrisome legends for Sunny Starscout's comfort. Short on time and even shorter on adventuring companions, she heads out to confront it.

By herself, but not alone.
