Many years ago, before Granny Smith was called 'Granny' and before Sweet Apple Acres had quite so many acres to its name, the very few citizens of that tiny frontier town called Ponyville knew the Everfree Forest only for what exited it.

Those who chose to settle in Ponyville knew the risks in living so near to the wood. But when a pack of deaf timber wolves threatens to attack the town, it's up to four ponies to find a way to chase them off—or to find a new home.

Fluttershy has returned to Sweet Apple Acres a week after the events of "Bats!" in order to check in on her new animal friends, only to find they have disappeared from their sanctuary, and Applejack is reluctant to tell her where they've gone.

Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.

They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.

The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to stick more than a cupcake into the very eye of Detrot.

Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.

Rarity is honored to have been sent a special VIP ticket for a prestigious pre-opening performance of "Out Of Her Shadow," the latest musical that her friend, Coco Pommel, has made the costumes for. Oddly enough, though, she seems to be the only one in attendance.

Thanks to Auramane for convincing me to write this!

Every hundred years, Luna departs from Canterlot to launch an inspection of the mighty prison complex known as Tartarus. This time, though, the new Chief Warden has something different in mind: he thinks it's high time somebody inspects the way Luna runs things.

She's got a feeling it's going to be a long week.

Thanks a ton to Silverguard for the awesome cover!

Though the distance between Pinkie Pie and her five closest friends has grown in the half-century since they claimed their Elements, she does what she can to prevent the others from drifting away. It’s small things, mostly: tea with Rarity, a drink with Rainbow Dash, a few words with each of the others. The friendship still makes each day together magic, and she works as hard as ever to bring cheer to all of her friends. When the smiles come less frequently, that just makes each one that much more precious.

Pinkie Pie has always been a rather eccentric pony. Her friends struggled to understand her, but learned better than to question her quirks and hastily brushed it off as "Pinkie being Pinkie". A few months ago everything changed. The premier party pony of Ponyville became more secluded, something that didn't go unnoticed.

Her best friends, although deeply worried, were clueless as to what was happening to their friend. She was easily angered and denied any invitations to parties, gatherings, picnics and other friendly dates. Taking that as a sign that Pinkie just needed some time by herself to sort her own life, her friends reluctantly let her be.

Things quickly got out of hand.

The chapters, with the exception of the tie-ins prologue and epilogue, will be one-shots that can be read independently.

Every year, Prince Solaris of Equestria and Princess Celestia of Equestria have a dimensional meeting to discuss matters pertaining to both worlds. What happens during these meetings, nopony knows.

They each have a devoutly loyal Royal Guard who almost share the same name, Starry Sky and Celestial Sky, and both have problems with being around the opposite sex.

When they get word of this, they decide to fix this problem in their own way.

Based off of the 'A Broad Scope' comic short.

Celestia has finally found her eternal partner in love. Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic, savior of Equestria, and co-ruler of the nation. Celestia feels nothing but pride and love for her student, friend, and lover. However, a secret remains hidden in her heart, hidden from herself. Why did she choose Twilight, of all ponies, to be her student?

Unfortunately for her, Discord knows the answer all too well.

Princess Celestia calls Rainbow Dash to her side to alert her to her solution to an incoming danger.
But it's quite possible that Rainbow won't like what she hears, but what can the Element of Loyalty do when she's asked to save the country and Princess she has sworn loyalty to?
