The Trial of The Champion is a time honored event between Celestia's Sun Guard and Luna's Moon Guard. The event is used to remember the founding events of their forefathers who had guarded the princesses long ago. This year, however, two newly formed regiments have been allowed to compete in the week long events. Princess Cadence's Legion of the Heart and Princess Twilight's Witch Brigade.

Oh what a day, Mothers Day, and Fluttershy has but one way to spend it.

Twilight Sparkle’s own body has betrayed her. Her life hangs by a thread, and her only hope of survival is a vital organ transplant. But when the sole possible donor turns out to be a young, healthy, and honourable pony, Celestia proves just how far she is willing to go to save her student.

In the decision to trade one life for another, the most serious casualty may be everypony’s ethics.

It's one of the highest services a pony can aspire to.

Some ponies shouldn't aspire that high.

After a busy day celebrating princess Mi Amore Cadenza's birthday, Shining Armor and his wife take time to wind down, relax, and talk. The topic of their conversation soon moves in an unexpected direction, and the couple finds that their marriage still has surprises in store for them both.

Scootaloo is worried about her wings. They're so small - what if there's something wrong with them? Worry turns into anxiety. What if she'll never be able to fly? That thought scares her more than anything.

Rainbow Dash isn't the most eloquent of ponies. Can she find the right words to cheer her honorary little sister up?

English expat and web designer Robert Ellis is not a particularly devoted brony, though he's read a lot of the fanfiction, and he really dislikes "My Little Dashie" and the "doorstep filly" sub-genre it spawned. Whoever decided to abduct Diamond Tiara as she slept and deposit her in a box on Bob's doorstep must have a taste for dramatic irony.

But Bob isn't interested in playing by the rules of the genre. Not when he's got his big sister, her two kids and his pal Trevor the UFO-hunting policeman to call on for backup.
While the local police and an intelligence agency he was not previously aware the Canadians had grapple with the question of who sent her here and why, Bob and his cohorts deal with the more immediate problem of looking after an earth pony with an attitude problem, and Diamond Tiara gets a crash course in the fine art of not being a spoiled brat.

There's going to be a lengthy process of adjustment for all of them, but it could be worse. And maybe they'll both end up being better and happier people for it.

(Rated T for occasional strong language.)

The Starship Enterprise and her crew must deal with a scientist haunted by his past, armed with a tool that could either revive his lost world in a new form or bring untold destruction. Meanwhile, the last two members of a dying race have made their way into the Enterprise's holodeck and have started up a simulated world to live in, populated by colorful talking ponies that seem to transcend the limitations of normal holodeck characters.

From another perspective, Twilight Sparkle and her friends must deal with strangers from another world who make claims that shake the very foundations of Equestrian history, science and philosophy. Can even the Magic of Friendship stand up to the possibility that the world is a simulation? Or do the ponies have what it take to prove to the strangers the truth of their existence?

Princess Celestia, tired of the constant pressure that ruling a nation puts on her, decides to take a day off and let Luna take her responsibilities for a day, something the younger alicorn is more than happy to do. She disguises herself as a pink maned pegasus pony named Sunny Skies and decides to go walking around Canterlot without any supervision. Unfortunately for her, not all parts of Canterlot are as safe as the palace, and she finds herself at the wrong end of a gang of muggers, who decide to kidnap her for a ransom when they see how much money she has on her.

Luna freaks out.

Celestia thinks it's hilarious.

Concerned about the confidence of some of her students, Cheerilee enlists Rainbow Dash to take six children: Sweetie Belle, Silver Spoon, Snails, Dinky Doo, Pipsqueak and Archer on a week-long camping trip to Whitetail Woods. Rainbow enlists the aid of Big Macintosh as her co-chaperone as she tries to teach the young fillies and colts about camping, teamwork, confidence and how to get along and fend for themselves.

They are so doomed.

Future chapters will feature some action as well as appearances by other characters. Some shipping may be involved.
