It has become a tradition for Black Death, and Fluffy to host the entire family at their lair every year for the holidays. However, on one such holiday, a Hearth's Warming, a mistake was made by a member of the family that remains a source of endless retellings and good-natured family mockery.

This story is a sequel to The Dragon And The Pony Side Stories: Parents Of Fluff.

While the notion of a pegasus pairing up with a dangerous dragon is rife with interesting occurrences, not every Do finds their heart falling for someone so interesting, or covered in scales. Some Do's, strangely enough, find their love directed towards someone far less daring, and more, let's say, down to earth. So, in the Dragon and the Pony universe, how would a relationship, let alone the raising of children, look if it was between two ponies, rather than a predator and an adventure addict.

For all of you who would like a story that takes a closer look at Never Endings' side of the family, this is your story! More specifically, this story will be filling in the pieces of information regarding Never, Holly, and their family that Azure's story left out.

Light Heart had an idea to write a play about Dr Wolf, someone who has helped countless ponies handle their personal and emotional problems. However, in spite of him being able to convince Doc to work with him on this idea, he ends up having just a couple of weeks to assemble a cast and set up the stage. Now only two rules can apply in this hectic play.

Rule 1: The show must go on.

Rule 2: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

This story is a sequel to Starlight, Trixie And The Cursed Manor

Mossy is a puca living in the woods near a manor near Neighpols, and today is his birthday. He spends the day as he always spends his birthdays, waking up, practicing transforming, having breakfast, and reminiscing on better days. He just wishes that the day didn't hold so much emotional baggage, and that he wouldn't have to spend it alone.

This is technically a prequel to Starlight, Trixie, and the Cursed Manor, but I would personally recommend reading this after that story as it spoils some of the mystery and impact.

Thank you to Stinium_Ruide for editing this story.

Starry Night and Brave Day, two sisters with a rough past, become isolated on an island with nothing more than the survival skills their grandfather taught them. On the island they do what they must to live, to fight another day, but most of all they fight for each other.

Twilight Sparkle has always been a obsessive seeker of knowledge, but during a research project into the lineage of Equestria’s old noble families, she discovers the founder of one particular house to be none other than the contemporary comic character Burning Snowflake. Believing this to be a grave error, Twilight sets out to establish the facts, only to find that some fairy tales might just be true.

Darkness from beyond the borders of reality yearns for a vessel to invade.

Sweetie Belle loses her magic and wants it back. She finds a remedy for her injured horn, but things don’t go back to normal. Sometimes, a cure can be even worse than the poison, as the filly is about to learn.

This story was featured on the front page of Fimfiction.

Funny isn’t it? Everypony thinks Equestria is a utopia, a place of friendship and magic where everything is just fine. But all you see is Ponyville and Canterlot. Wonderful cities to be sure, but didn’t you notice how the rest of Equestria is different? Unfortunately all your world sees are propaganda reels from our universe. But even then, you can surely see the difference.

Perhaps you’ve noticed how the country isn’t run as such. Of course we have princesses, but when they hold court all they do is solve small disputes, little issues, they help two enemies become “friends”. They resolve matters of the greatest important to the individual, but of no importance to the nation. If they did anything it’d involve stumbling into a town, forcing ponies to shake hooves and hoping for the best. There are no real laws, the only law here is friendship.

Perhaps this system works. I’m certainly no authority on the matter, but I’d like you to entertain the idea that it could be improved. Just a thought. Oh but what do I know? I’m only a lieutenant in Her Majesty’s Royal Guard. I am a pawn in their machine, ready to do their bidding, absolutely loyal to my celestial masters.

All I suggest is that someone should help them fix Equestria. Someone who can look beyond friendship. Who me you say? Forgive me, but I am but a guard. I pledge only to do my duty, that is all. Whatever that may entail...

Disclaimers and additional notes:

One doesn’t need to have seen or read either version of House of Cards or have an intimate understanding of politics to understand this story. It is only a parody in the loosest possible terms, that being it is about power and politics.

This story is not meant to endorse or reflect any real world political opinion or candidate. It is a work of fiction based on my observations of the political landscape in Equestria and the absurdity of such a society.

As I began writing this in 2014, the canon may differ from the show. I have attempted to keep it accurate up to at least season 4. There are certainly references to things that happen later than that, but beyond a certain point I’m pretty loose with show canon.

Not sure if all tags are correct, will edit as required.

I don’t think I could have ever asked for such a good artist. It’s such a pleasure to have your work as a cover for mine.

I cannot give enough thanks to this guy for putting up with my crap and helping make this the best story possible. It’s been a real labour of love for the both of us and a real pleasure working with him.

One day, while on a errand for Twilight, Spike finds a glove and gun that when active give him electric powers! Join Spike as he beats up enemies, runs ponyvile (with help of course) and helps those in need. All done at the speed of lightning!

Has a few concepts from the webcomic: THE GAMER
Website where you can find the webcomic The Gamer:
-MangaPark: http://mangapark.me/manga/the-gamer-sung-san-young
-The original website where the comic can be found is in a different language. I recommend going to either the link for MangaPark or get the app Webtoon.

Thanks to Azure Drache for the all the help in this chapter as well as the edit ideas on my other story.
All my little pony caac cters owned by Hasbro.

Story may include mild gore and will(sometimes) mention death.

After their superb performance at the Wonderbolts Academy qualification, Sky Stinger and his best friend, Vapor Trail, take a break up away from the influence of Cloudsdale and the Wonderbolts; away into the fearsome, large, white clouds, where no pony bothered to go, and especially not beyond.

There, it was no longer a normal way of perceiving the new light hosted by the Sun. The two pegasi have arrived to the next level of atmosphere where only the two of them would gladly appreciate.

They celebrate, they rejoice, at the relief that they lived for so long to see this day.

Proofread by again, the amazing Azure Drache!
