It's been almost twenty years since Sunburst last spent the night at Starlight's home. Much has changed since then. If it weren't for her other friends finding a way for them to reconnect, Starlight might have truly lost her first friend. While she looks back fondly on their friendship as foals, Sunburst doesn't even seem to like talking about that time in their lives, much less revisiting it.

When Starlight approaches Sunburst the night before he returns to the Crystal Empire, she inadvertently discovers something about her old friend that might explain it all.

Inspired by a scene from Uncommon Bond. Story takes place towards the end of the episode.

Thanks to Ice Star for proofreading.

Celestia and Anon snuggle in bed.

Inspired by this story.

For a changeling, hiding is the only way to survive. Watch as the changeling queen struggles to remain hidden, her body constantly ravaged by sickness. Can she find a cure before it's too late? Plague has come to Equestria, and Chrysalis is Patient Zero.

Actually it's more like allergies or something. What a drama queen.

While trying to create a potion to come in handy during their defeat of Twilight Sparkle and her friends, Cozy Glow accidentally makes a love potion. Then it explodes. Her roommates slash allies Tirek and Chrysalis get caught in the midst of the spell’s smoke and the effects are less than desirable.

Not only have they fallen hard for each other, but started to call Cozy their daughter. And she’s hating every second of it.

This wasn’t what Cozy wanted at all.
Or was it?

Now has a reading!!<3

Inspired by this art piece.
This scene from Tom and Jerry.
And a special.

No, I will not elaborate.
This was complete self-indulge that I wrote in one draft.
Enjoy 8 hours of my life I'm never getting back.

Created for, ahem, CATEGORICALGRANT'S CUDDLEFIC CONTEST!!

Written By Duskhoof

In Ponyville General Hospital, there is a filly who remains a permanent resident. Golden Gate has never let that get her down, using her enormous imagination, her Princess Luna plushie and her love of cuddles to get her by. Thankfully, her favorite doctor, Wave Function, has been able to provide hugs and stories by the bucket load, keeping her entertained for such a long time. Yet, she still wishes she could just be a little bit stronger to see a full day without getting tired...

Spike, the dragon assistant of Twilight Sparkle, is confused to find himself in Ponyville General, injured with little recollection of what happened to him. More concerning to him, however, is the memory of his friends Rainbow and Rarity fighting for reasons he cannot remember. As he is due to spend several days laid out in bed on the foals ward, he worries and wonders whether his pals will be okay...

With the help of Dr. Function, the pair meet and together they share adventures, cuddles, and tears as they overcome their adversities to help one another ...

Dr. Wave Function is an original character by CategoricalGrant, used with the permissions granted in the contest.
Golden Gate and Nurse Joy are original characters by Duskhoof, all permissions belong to him (me).
All other 'My Little Pony' characters are property of Hasbro.

There’s another wholesome, sweet and sad story that I’d like you all to take a look at. Syn’s story about a little foal with a dream and a janitor’s opportunity to grant it is a fantastic read, please follow this link as the fella made me aware of this contest in the first place so it is only fair you read his as well.

This story made me genuinely weep a little, it reminded me of my closest nan and having to say a bittersweet goodbye.

I love this tale, Syn. Thank you for writing it.

All good things, your friend
Dusky

This story is a sequel to The Do Dilemma

Daring Do's adventures are regarded as fiction. And yes, some elements are fictional and exaggerated. But is there some truth to the stories? The answer is a bit more complicated than you'd think, as Daring adds a special letter in her package to Rainbow Dash. This is that letter.

A mini-epilogue to the episode Daring Don't that ties in with The Do Dilemma.

Another subterranean temple. Another priceless magical artifact. Daring has fought him for the fate of the world before …

But now she's discovered who killed her father. And only one of them is going to walk away.

They say that good armour is a Royal Guard's best friend.

Sometimes, it might be a little more literal than expected.

After all, it isn’t every day that one receives shameless self-promotion from their protective attire.

Your Twilight Sparkle ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you.

Every friendship has its origins, even the most sinister.

And revenge is a dish best shared.
