A reader's poll in Equestria's leading newspaper rates the Princesses by approval ratings.

OOC meta humor ensues as the four discuss the findings.

Pre-read by RT Stephens, MythrilMoth, and The Albinocorn.

Within the confines of her bedroom, Princess Cadance reminisces on the memories she's shared with Shining Armor.

With Hearts and Hooves and the Crystal Flaire right around the corner, Cadance goes to gain some knowledge on the old traditions and cultures of her kingdom. But upon doing so, she stumbles across a book that mentions a mystery surrounding an ancient race of ponies. Curious, she searches for answers and it may just lead her to the very one who can provide them. The very one whose answers lie very close to heart.

When a young Rainbow Dash spotted a mysterious alicorn and unicorn from the future, history was changed. Events and lives both big and small have been irrevocably altered, for better and for worse.

This story is an anthology of side stories set in the Little Flashes series, which started with Little Glimpses. None of the material in this story is considered mandatory reading to enjoy the series itself and exists mostly to provide some additional context and detail on characters and events that are too small or too far removed to otherwise fit into the main series.

This story is a sequel to Inexcusable

She looked just like Princess Celestia, except marred and broken. Her ceremonial barding had rusted slightly, and dirt matted her coat. Most noticeable was her hair; black streaks accompanied its usual multicolored luster. They looked like discolorations in an old photograph.

Worst was the scar across her chest. Her armor covered it, but nothing could hide what it meant.

The tarnished Celestia smiled at Luna. "H-hello, monster. I would say I am glad to see you, but that w-w-wouldn’t be quite accurate."

A big thanks to AlicornPriest for editing/prereading.

This story is a sequel to If You Came to Conquer

Princess Nightmare Moon had tried to keep it secret. She had suppressed her power, feigned ignorance, played the outdated fool at every opportunity. She should have known that something like this would happen. A threat that would reveal her, whether she played dumb or not.

If she had to reveal herself, then at least she could protect Equestria in the process. She nocked the arrow. The bow felt so flimsy, but she could not risk him absorbing a spell. She laced magic across the arrow and the string and the air, enough to make it fly faster and aim smoother. She sighted him easily; Tirek was a large target. Now he only had to turn around. An arrow to the spine would kill him simply and instantly, no matter how much magic he had absorbed.

Once he was dead, the hard part would come: explaining herself to Celestia.

Everything had been a blur for Darach Meldrak Obenhjerthe. Darach was the first of his name, clansman of the Meldrak household, and a profound soilder. Unlike most people at the time, Darach wasn't very religious. When he did in the war at the hands, or hooves, of his own horse, he expected to float in the endless void of nothingness, or wind up in the pyres of damnation if unlucky.

To be honest, he expected a lot of things. But what he got was something that clearly wasn't on his expected menu. Darach woke up reborn into the body of a small, winged unicorn, she has to make sense of his new life as a small pink princess, and try not to disturb her new parents with her strange personality while occasionally being visited by six ponies while trying to find her place in the world.

A revival-fic of "Crystal Reincarnation" and a Christmas present to those who saw potential from it.

I decided to watch an anime that had been a favorite of mine since I was a kid and later play the game if only for old times sake, but when I called it a night I woke up surrounded by guards as the main character with a certain sword and it's other pieces. Hopefully I didn't get his habit of being short on money with this transformation.

In celebration of Orphen's 25th anniversay and reboot this year, I loved this show and the game as a child (looking back the game was meh).

Taking place during season 3.

Highly recommended you watch the first series to avoid the heavy spoilers early in the story, or watch it's remake this year.

Title still a WIP. Was originally called "Outcasted Sorcerer".

Two alicorn sisters hide, waiting for a war to end. A war that had ended over a thousand years ago. For as long as they may stay in their hiding spot, they may never know the near-extinction of alicorns. They may never know that Discord had been placed in stone, and would no longer kill alicorns. They will sit, and they will hide... until the younger sister cannot hide any longer.

This story is a sequel to Lost Twins

The two twin sisters have been found after they retreated from their hiding spot. Now it is time for them to adapt to this new age. It's also time to realize that a villain that was once imprisoned in stone is free and "harmless" now. How will they adapt to the land around them, and how will they be able to take the killer of their parents and turn them into a friend?
