It's father's day in Ponyville and everypony is happy, but for one little dragon this holiday only brings sorrow.

Fluttershy fell in love at first sight and has kept it to herself. Now that her crush has gained a pair of wings, she decides that it is impossible to be with her now. Walking around, she remembers some of her happy memories.

Love me... I mean, if you're ok with me.

After her face and body are permanently scarred, Rarity seals herself off in her room with the lights off and drapes drawn, too disgusted by her own appearance to be seen. The only comfort she has comes in the form of daily visits from Spike, though she keeps the room dark to hide her deformities from the baby dragon. Can he convince her that she has nothing to fear; that her beauty is not limited to what she looks like?

My entry for the Feature Box Crusaders' Contest due on March 20th.

Thanks to BubblepipeWrangler for the initial story idea, and the help writing and editing it.

Rainbow Dash has been dating Pinkie Pie for nearly a month and, in spite of Pinkie’s objections, is keeping the affair a secret from the rest of their friends. Deciding she's had enough, Pinkie Pie throws a party announcing their relationship.

WANTED:

The newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle has set up a bold new initiative to discover new magic, and is sending out an open call to the unicorns of Equestria to apply for her research team. No experience in magical theory or research necessary. Enthusiasm and out-of-the-box thinking a must. The Equestrian government is not responsible for any physical, emotional, or magical trauma experienced during the course of the project or the application process.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

Fluttershy always thought, she would know everything about her friend Rainbow Dash.

She was wrong.

After getting invited for a sleepover, Fluttershy finds out about Rainbow's past. The past, which was too horrible to tell.

(Bad story is bad! xD Not proud of it!)

A/N: Just to be clear, this isn't an 'I'm immortal, kill self', fic, nor is it yet another conventional 'Tyrannestia' fic. While the story brushes with both those tropes - the first merely in passing, and the second more heavily - I've put a lot of effort into portraying these ideas from a new angle. I'd be very grateful if you would give the story a chance before impulsively downvoting. Thanks, and carry on.

In a dark, alternate Equestria where Celestia has become unstable and dangerous, Twilight Sparkle receives a package in the mail... one, final test. But what comes after will utterly destroy her and the few things she still holds dear in a cascading avalanche of mistakes, betrayal, and exploitation.

Author's Notes: Given I cranked this out in less than a week following the airing of Magical Mystery Cure, I'm pretty happy with the quality. But, as usual, this is unedited - feel free to suggest corrections and such to me.
This story was powered by Evanescence's 'Lost in Paradise'. I literally left the song on loop and wrote up a storm.

Scootaloo's birthday is coming up, and Rainbow Dash is unsure of what to get her number one fan. Upon asking her, it seemed her birthday wish would be a little harder to obtain than Dash thought. Enlisting the help of Twilight, the two mares set out to ensure that little Scootaloo has the best birthday ever.

That's right, a fic about best filly where nothing bad, tragic, or otherwise horrible happens to her, or anypony else. This is my attempt at an episode like fic.

Special thanks to RazedRainbow for getting this thing ready for public consumption.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash knew this would be hard, but a long distance relationship was in their future from the start. A Wonderbolt and an apple farmer don't have a lot of time in the same place, so they do their best with letters and the occasional weekends. But when Applejack finds out that Rainbow Dash is on the cover of Flyers Illustrated: Wet Feathers Edition, it plays on a fear she never mentioned to Dash: Everypony knows that famous ponies are different from normal folks. . .

Right?
