A thank you to my pre-readers Tatsurou and Merc the Jerk.

"You are hereby invited to the Apple Family Giving Harvest dinner! Bring your friends, your appetites, and something to be thankful for." Because, as the Apple Family would tell you...

No one eats until everyone gives thanks...

Part of the Flinx-verse.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Great and Powerful Trixie grew up having it all: loving family, supportive friends, and an unbeatable magic show. That’s what she tells herself, at least.

There is a time in The Great and Powerful Trixie’s past that she would prefer to not remember. A time when she knew only one spell. A time when she lived in a backwater town. A time when she went by a different name…

The original version of the story took 9th place in The Writeoff Association's April 2015 contest, "Great Expectations"

Now with an audio reading by Scribbler. Check it out.

Bat Ponies have returned to Equestria following the return of Princess Luna from her 1000 year banishment.

While most of Equestria is slow to trust these strange night worshipping creatures, for one pony, it represents a perfect new avenue of study.

When a Bat Pony comes to live in Ponyville, Twilight jumps at the chance to ask him a few questions. What she didn't expect was the condition that came with those questions: That she let him take her out to dinner first.

Just a quick little story that kept on growing as it developed. The story was inspired by, and based off of a sketch image originally drawn by Jaxonian which was put up for adoption into a story.

Contains a small amount of blood towards the end of the story. Teen rating because of that.

Having a mare flee in terror wasn't the response Spike hoped when he was trying to say hello. The reason behind her fear, however, was far more upsetting and opened up old wounds.

Thanks to FamousLastWords for pre-reading this story and for cleaning up the description.

EDIT: All instances of "Ditzy" replaced with "Derpy." Her character is more-or-less unchanged from the original upload, though.

Roseluck discovers something horribly wrong with her garden. Blossomforth knows how to fix it—or does she?

Thanks to bathroomstahl for pre-reading this story.

Time, the ever-flowing measure of action. It is not a physical thing that one can touch or feel, but an abstract thought of the difference between now, then, and later. It is the indefinite continued progress of existence. What happens when one has the ability to control time? He is deemed one of the most powerful beings on the planet, for he can stop you in your tracks without any effort at all.

This is a rewrite of the rewrite. The original Time and Time Again has been removed. I hope you all enjoy this version better.

The picture is credited to Shoshin005. I added the words myself with a simple editing tool. (why can't full Pixlr be free anymore?! )

An Aladdin crossover.

With Genie and his apprentice, Pinkie Pie, can true love prevail?

Or will the wicked Jafar rule over all of Agrabah?
