Silver Heart, a guard in the Royal Canterlot armed forces, has just been re-assigned to the Crystal Empire Royal Guard! He is there on a temporary security boost for the Equestria Games. He was planning a fun time with his colleagues at the Crystal Empire, explore the kingdom, watching the games, meeting the Crystal Guards, making some new friends. Romance? Expectations were low for finding that on his holiday. But as clockwork as Celestia raising the sun, fate has a funny relationship with expectations.

The village of Brightly, British Columbia, Canada, has a deep and storied history as a coal mining town which slowly faded as ships stopped using coal for their boilers. Nowadays it is a quiet, isolated community nestled within the forests of the Pacific coast. It's the kind of town where everyone knows everyone, and folks look out for each other. Those bonds of friendship and community are tested when some of the inhabitants begin to turn into colourful ponies with strange powers and abilities...

Created with the assistance of my editors: Sandstorm94, Coyotethetrickster, Rejara and other foolishbrave souls.

Welcome to my very first commissioned story. Thanks to the kind support of my patron through Patreon I am able to try my hand at a kind of story I've never written before. This story will be updated monthly for as long as my patron wishes to pursue it.

A story from The Canary Files

Sunset Shimmer did many things in her life she wasn't proud of. Things that made her feel ashamed of her past and herself. She helped fight off the Sirens, "The Dazzlings", as they were known during the Battle of the Bands. Perhaps the former Unicorn could finally find happiness... right?

Anon-a-Miss happened. An unknown user of MyStable started posting secrets about every student at CHS. Sunset received the blame. Punished for a crime she didn't commit.

Nobody believed her, not even the Rainbooms. The group of friends she thought of as exactly that... her best friends. Her family. Princess Twilight couldn't be reached, either.

Was she destined to be alone? The Magic of Friendship nothing more than a mere lie?

It hurt; the pain of betrayal ran deep.

But, no matter how dark it is, there will always be a new dawn on the horizon.

Javarod is responsible for prereading, proofreading, editing, contributing, and especially everything that's wrong.

Herman always believed that ponies were an exceedingly friendly bunch, and he figured it was in their nature to be open and kind to all strangers—even to those of different races. But what if he was wrong? What if there was another explanation?

He mentions this fact in his memoirs, but shortly after he sends them to be published he is informed that the Royal Guard wants him for questioning in Canterlot.

After a pretty animated night, Starlight wakes up and discovers Trixie by her side. It probably was a good night, but it could have been a way better morning.

This story was inspired by an art by Dilarus and that is the cover for the story "An advanced lesson in Friendship".

Rated T for language and evocation of sex.

Many thanks to Onyz and Javarod for their help editing the text.

The original French text is available here.

This story is a sequel to The Sun and the Shy

Sex Tag is only for discussion or mentions of sex, there will be no actual sex, clop or other similar stuff here. Nope, sorry, nadda.

Seeing how forlorn Fluttershy is watching her old friends at lunch, Sunset tried to fix things for the girl she cares about. Sadly it backfires as Sunset walks right into one of the signs of the end times, Fluttershy yelling at Rainbow Dash. To avoid anymore conflict, the two decide that maybe it would be best to get a new start and transfer to Crystal Prep. How ill they respond to Cinch's attitude, the atmosphere of the school and the Shadowbolts, and...the mirror version of the girl she hates more than anything. Can Sunset swallow her pride and work to make things better again or will it just end up being CHS all over again?

Applejack has a simple life, with great friends. Sure times can be tough and bits may be hard to come by, but she's always pulled through. Now her life has been turned upside down and money will never be a problem.
Watch her story unfold. Money, family and friendship can change. Even your closest most trusted ponies can use you. Watch as a simple farmer comes to terms with the fact that wealth isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Clarifications:
Many have wondered what Twilight looks like and such so to clarify, she does not look like a human female, she retains her fur coat, she is of human height and has hands. The facial structure is more detailed such as where the eyebrows should be there is a darker patch of coat much in the color of her mane.

The story starts a few episodes in, around halfway through season one I would say, some shall stay canon whilst some with alter, I am sorry for this inconvenience.

Twilight is still Twilight in every way, though she has been with little to no contact throughout her life apart from when the Everfree retained people, in such her words would become haggard sometimes so that's why you will probably go "huh" when you first see her talk to the CMC.

That is all for now.

Aaron thought he was going to have a boring Saturday night. However, due to a universal mishap, the single man's lonely life will forever change when a small, magical filly enters his life. With these new, unexpected changes, challenges and complications are certain to rise for Aaron and Luna as they must go to battle with the hardships of the world they live around.
