Rarity has nowhere to go on Hearth's Warming Eve, so she decides to pay Applejack a visit at Sweet Apple Acres. She should have known that they'd end up arguing.

Together, the two mares must find a way to salvage the evening. And Rarity has to figure out how to keep hiding her crush on Applejack - a task getting harder by the minute.

Or maybe tonight's the night she should finally confess...

Written solely because I needed some fluff in my life. Also, cover art by me. Haha, just kidding. I don't know who drew the art, but it's beautiful, so please let me know if you do!

Stargazing is Silver Spoon's favorite hobby. The peace, the quiet, the gentle glow that covers the land, the constellations shining like diamonds in the dark.... But all of that would mean so much less without her best friend by her side. Perhaps tonight is the night to bring up a certain touchy subject, if Silver Spoon has the guts.

Trixie tries to flirt with Starlight, and doesn't take it well when Starlight reveals that she knew about it all along. Now Starlight has to find a way to make Trixie feel better and admit her own true feelings.
Using a metaphor to do it? Sure, why not?

Originally written as a short one-shot for this story: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/373317/you-ship-it-i-write-it. When the chapter got too long I decided to just post it as a separate story. Thanks to Butterscotch Moonglow for the prompt!

A thousand years ago he was turning Equestria into a hotbed of mayhem.
Five years ago he was growing moss and lichen on his shoulders.
Today he's asking Celestia out on a date.

Celestia didn't know such a creature as Discord would be able to change so radically without it being part of some elaborate prank. But what's more unsettling, she didn't know she'd be able to change just as drastically. As she finds new feelings for the Master of Chaos, she begins to have doubts toward the integrity of her desires, and suspicions of her sister's possible involvement.

For years, Sunset Shimmer has happily held her place at Celestia's side. She was her prized student, her number one prodigy. In return, Celestia was Sunset's world, her passion and drive. However, with time and age come change, and Sunset cannot take it any more.

She doesn't understand why Celestia won't look at her any more, why she is so enthralled by the talent and simple nature of her newest discovery. All she knows is that as much as she may aspire and hope, she'll never again be the object of Celestia's interest.

Sunset Shimmer intends to leave, and she has no plans of returning.

Special thanks to Ceffyl Dwr for pre-reading as well as helping me to iron out the creases in my original idea.

Twilight loves Rainbow Dash, and she plans to tell her as such in a typical Twilight fashion — through the wonder of science. But when Rainbow Dash doesn't react in the way she was expecting, it leaves her feeling heartbroken; it then falls to Starlight Glimmer to pick up the pieces, as well as make Dash realise the truth.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

I know the whole 'copper and tellurium' joke has been done to death, but I wanted to do my own take on it. And then there's the fact I've never actually written any TwiDash before, despite constantly going on about how I think it is the best ship.

So, I decided to rectify that.

Getting rejected by Sunset seems like a pretty good reason for Twilight to hole herself up in her room for three days. But when Rarity comes asking for help to develop a website for Carousel Boutique, Twilight can't ignore a friend.

Both of them may find they have something to learn about rejection, how to deal with it, and if a friendship really can become something more intimate.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash are Canterlot High's most athletic, most competitive, and most stubborn students.
They're also the most oblivious.
Rainbow Dash is head-over-heels in love with her best friend, Applejack. Applejack has one hell of a crush on Rainbow Dash. And, naturally, neither one of them knows how the other feels.
Who knew saying 'I love you' could be so hard?
But they'll manage it in the end. And when they do, they'll go on to tackle the rest of the school year hand-in-hand, side by side. They'll laugh and cry; they'll be hurt and be healed; they'll live their life to the fullest with their best friends and encounter all sorts of surprises. They won't realize it, but their experiences - their love, their kisses, even their stupid competitions - will be documented by Pinkie Pie with her trusty camera, trying to immortalize the slow and sweet and sometimes stormy romance of her best friends.
And when she shows them her album at the end of the year, when they prepare to step out into the big wide world, Applejack and Rainbow will realize that, well...
It truly was their year.

Vinyl Scratch had been mute all her life. She's long since accepted that. It doesn't get in her way as much as one might think.

But, when it comes to telling Octavia how she feels, there could be no greater obstacle.

After a mishap with yet another teleportation spell, Trixie and Starlight Glimmer find themselves on an island in the middle of the ocean with no magical energy left—which means no magic until they recover.

Starlight is sure that this is all Trixie's fault. Trixie is sure that Starlight needs to lighten up.
