For Lyra, life is pretty swell. She has the best fillyfriend anyone could ask for in Bon Bon and she doesn’t need to worry about work or any complicated drama. Overall, she can live her life at her own tempo.

If only things stayed that simple.

Side story to The Life and Times of a Winning Pony and the rest of the Winningverse and approved by Chengar Qordath and Comma Kazie.

Not quite a mare, but unhappy being a colt. It's a hard position for a young pony to be in. Would be easier if judgement weren't in every look, hate in every scowl. For Glitter Shell, even her friends and family aren't giving her the support she needs. So, she goes to find some in her personal hero.

Based on the blog Ask Glitter Shell. Give it a chance; I doubt you'll regret it.

Featured on Equestria Daily on August 12th, 2013; thank all of you for the support! Though please remember to support trans people in real life. This story is a very tame snapshot of what they have to go through for most of their lives.

A refined mare fresh out of high school and a dropout following her dreams find themselves forced to spend a lot of time together.

With the help of a meddling psychology tutor and their new classmates, can they find what they've been looking for?

Cloud Kicker might just have the wildest life of any pony in Equestria. That may just be why Princess Luna wants Twilight Sparkle to study the insanity that is Cloud Kicker's life for a sociology report. Unfortunately for Twilight Sparkle, she is going to have to survive the circle of jealous friends, paramours, enemies, crazy co-workers and disappointed family members that surround this crazy pony. Will Twilight Sparkle be able to complete this assignment before it spins out of control, or will she be reduced to a neurotic mess?

A Winningverse Story.

Cloud Kicker has fought her mother's killer to the death and ensured her family's honor was intact, but her cousin Star Kicker's role in the fiasco was far less noble: Her family-oriented idealism has left Equestria facing an unidentified threat with few avenues for answers. Now, she’ll have to team up with a few unlikely characters and be guided by a ruler trapped under a mountain of suspicion to find exactly who, or what, is threatening to invade her homeland.

This is my contribution to Chengar Qordath's Winningverse.

Huge thanks to Chengar for helping me wrangle this into something relatively cohesive (and for reining in my crazy nonsense), and many more thanks to both he and Comma-Kazie for creating such an in-depth and vibrant continuity.

Endless thanks as well to my editors and prereaders, without whom nothing in this story would be what it is:
