"Would you tell anypony if you knew the world was going to end, Twilight Sparkle?"

What's it like to live in Canterlot, home of the princesses, assorted renowned celebrities and sophisticated ponies?

Well, it all comes down to who you are, really - and if you happen to be a fairly ordinary earth pony, you can get on with life quite easily with few distractions.

But what happens when life plays you an interesting hand, and suddenly you're thrown into the spotlight?

This is a tale of the everyday, and how it can turn from ordinary to extraordinary with a twist of chance.

This is a tale of friends, of laughter, of love and of life.

This is a tale of who we are, and how we got here.

This... is Sketchy Salad Symphony.

(Formerly "Strange Love")
It started off as a completely normal morning for the mane 6, until they woke up. All six awake to find their opposite gender counterparts from a different universes in their beds. No-one knows how they arrived. Now with their opposite sex selves, they must discover why they are there and, if possible, how to send them home. Unfortunately there are many alternate universes in existence, some not very nice, some that have beings who would wish to enter the mane six's world and bring harm upon it.

This is a remake of my terrible fic "Limitations of Love" but without the villain sue Smiley. I would also like to say that I am in no way trying to rip off Connor Cogwork's "On a Cross and Arrow".

Character tags will be added as the story goes on.

Going to clubs may seem rather odd for you, but you find enjoyment from it because of a certain DJ. You get the chance to meet her after a show, but would she ever feel anything for somepony with your condition?

More experimenting than anything. This was both a challenge and fun to do. Big thanks to slashe720 and Mustank for helping me with this story.

Somewhere below the sea, there lies a city.
A city envisioned to be the home of invention, of progress, where the finest minds of all of ponykind would be allowed free-reign, and so reach a potential undreamt of on the surface.

Yet something has gone terribly, terribly wrong, both with the city itself and it's inhabitants. Now, only abominations and the keening wails of the damned inhabit the once bustling tunnels and domes of that great place, and of all thats left of it's former splendor there is only rot and rust.

Is it possible to escape such a nightmare? Is it at all possible for an individual to survive such horrors, such insanity, without being tainted themselves?

Perhaps that is the only fate that await those inside; to die under the waves, alone and forgotten... or to leave a monster.

This is the story of a young pegasus stallion, or you specifically. After the passing of your mother, and your ever increasing distant father, your brother has never felt safe in the cloud home. Afraid of heights and normal life in Cloudsdale, you decide to abandon your former life to start a new one on the ground, in a town called Ponyville. While there you find a cute mare that runs the local post office who goes by the name of Ditzy Doo.

Twilight is an intelligent mare, and always has something to say. But when a group of bizarre creatures shows up at her library offering life long service and devotion, for once she's at a loss for words. Which is too bad, because she'd really love to ask: what's a human and why are they so weird?

Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.

There's been another sighting of the mysterious Mare Do Well...but this time, all of Rainbow Dash's friends plead ignorance, insisting that they've put aside their costumes for good. Rainbow Dash is determined to uncover the masked mare's true identity before she's humiliated yet again, but this time around, the vigilante seems especially interested in her as well. Will Rainbow Dash be able to solve the mystery before the culprit takes the hoax too far? Or is she in danger of losing not only her mind, but her heart?
