Princess Luna has been sealed in the moon for a thousand years. Although released, she has been having trouble adjusting to how much the world has changed, along with the loss of everyone she held dear in ancient times. Despite the pleasant end to the last Nightmare Night, she is still uncertain of what her place is now. However, Twilight Sparkle is determined to show Luna that she belongs...on a very special day.

Twilight and her friends sure had an awful time at the Grand Galloping Gala, but at least they are doing alright now that they are all there together and they have someone special to keep them company: Princess Celestia!

When Twilight Sparkle's social studies slow to a crawl, Rainbow Dash takes it upon herself to speed things up...

To love somepony is easy. To let them into your heart, somepony you care for, somepony you want to protect, somepony you would do anything for. Letting them in is easy. The pain comes when you lose them. This is something Applejack is not unaware of. However, after suffering yet another crippling loss of life to one of her own, the well-known farm pony begins to lose herself, falling into a pit of despair, trapping herself in a cycle of self-blame, anger, and agony. Watching her friend do this to herself is unbearable for Rarity, who makes her way to the farm determined to try and help the friend who doesn’t want it. But she has to try. Because, isn’t that what friends are for?

After Applejack and her siblings discovered the truth behind their family’s past especially their parent’s, they welcome Grand Pear, who was their maternal grandfather and also Pear Butter’s father, to their family. While the Apple-Pear Family are having fun together, one of them was not and Twilight wants to know why her best friend is so upset.

Artists suffer from many things, one of which is a mental block that disrupts and makes them second guess their work. For Octavia, she starts developing such music blocks that causes her to quickly fall into depression and turn to cigarettes and wine to ease her pain. Sometimes though, all it really takes is a friend to hear out ones problems. Thankfully, Octavia is fortunate to have such a friend and when her housemate, Vinyl checks up on her, she happily listens to Octavia's frustrations.

After an accident robs them of their parents, Rarity writes Sweetie Belle a letter laying bare a secret kept all the little unicorn's life.

"It's fascinating the level of depth this story takes. Just the part alone about why Rarity represents generosity is enough to bring tears to even the toughest critics. This is an amazing story in every way. Mature in some of its themes and true to life, yet not graphic or exploitive, 'Dear Sweetie Belle' is a must for My Little Pony fans who need a great, sad story to tide them over."

This story is a sequel to A Violet Rainbow

Two weeks after Rainbow Dash's berrification, the town still hasn't stopped teasing her about it. Dash is not at all happy and wishes that Twilight and Pinkie Pie could get a taste of their own medicine. With a mischievous revenge scheme in mind, Rainbow sets out to enact her plan. After pranking Pinkie Pie, however, Rainbow Dash gains an unexpected partner in her shenanigans.

(Contains inflation. While this has no clop or sexual content, the plot may have content that can be perceived as fetish fuel. Read at your own discretion.)

When Applejack unwittingly gets caught up in Twilight's perfectionism, she quickly learns far more about the unicorn than she ever expected...

Even though it's late at night, Twilight Sparkle is wide awake and immersed in her... Let's call it work. That is, until a certain earth pony shows up, with a big problem on her hooves.

Warning: Contains some spoilers from episode 19: Putting your Hoof down

Note: As you may have already guessed this is TwiPie fic, but not really a romantic shipping fic (hence no romance tag). It still is a teeny-tiny itty-bitty shippish. Not the “OMG, let's make out and have some magical babies” shippish. Not even “I love her, and she doesn't notice it, sob, sob” shippish. More like “There is some really good air between them, that could lead to future developments, but neither of them notice it yet” shippish. Really, really mild. Or so I think...
But just in case there is someone who absolutely hate anything – and I mean anything – even vaguely considered a ship I'm putting this warning here.
