The five-mile Mackinac Bridge, holding the two peninsulas of Michigan together, never ceases to amaze me. But after working as a maintenance crew member for many years, you never know what it’ll throw at you, especially when there’s something cuddled up inside.

This is another entry in my 24-hour fics collection, although it took me closer to four days due to family shenanigans and life. It still feels like a 24-hour fic to me.

My girlfriend Glitterkelp is an artist. She's also one of the few hippogriffs who have made it to Earth so far. You never know what her muse will come up with next.

A silly little thing written in two hours for the Iron Author competition of Ponyfest Online 3.0 on 30/05/2020. Slightly polished for publication.
The prompts were: Hippogriff culture and/or history, art or an artistic occupation - and a rare fruit.

Contains an Equestrian handling a dead animal and having no problem with it. No graphic description, but please don't read if this thought makes you uneasy.

Ever since you wound up in Equestria, you've had your eyes on Fluttershy. To your great good fortune, it turns out that she's interested in you, too. You take her out to a restaurant, and after the meal she invites you back to her cottage. All your dreams are about to come true, right?

This story is a sequel to The Storm on Ponyville

What started as a delivery on Rarity’s behalf results in Avon “Anonymous” Smith discovering the less-than-savory state of Klugetown. Two rival gangs have sprung in the aftermath of the Storm King’s rule; The Cat Callers, lead by the Abyssinian, Capper and the Jewel Runners, lead by the Diamond Dog, Bandit. What started as a bid for control over the failing town has fallen into constant rivalries and violence, with no end in sight.

No stranger to this kind of conflict, Anonymous begins the journey of healing a broken town.

Author’s Note: Although this is a sequel, no one needs to read the previous story to understand this one. It’s just an extension of the events from that fic given both are Movie related. This story will be my attempt at a more mature, but still comedic story that tackles gang culture, ethnic rivalries, and other things that are associated with a certain perspective that my Anon is quite familiar with. Also, if it wasn’t clear, this story is based off the Rubble King’s documentary.

Anon finds himself in the midst of a hostile invasion from the Storm King's army. For the first time since he’s got here, the ponies are in genuine danger. It’s up to Anon and a rag tag team to free Ponyville!

Note: Here’s my attempt at a more adventure style story. This story is based in my Race Relation canon (I’ve decided to put all of my HiE stories under that narrative banner). Inspired by the blink-and-you-miss-it shot of Ponyville on fire in the movie. As always, thanks for reading, if you do, and I’m sorry

Flitter doesn't like most ponies. There's hardly anything in the world Flitter likes, very few which she can even remotely tolerate, and only a couple which she truly loves. Fluttershy is not in the last two categories. Flitter sees Fluttershy as weak, and weakness disgusts her.

But when you're trying to help someone you love, you'll look for help in a lot of places -- including the cottage of the weakest pony in the world.

And for those willing to listen past their pain, it might be the place where they start to learn what true strength is.

Fanfics collide, and Bucky from The Chase, and Stupid from the Changeling Doll meet up. Instead of using their powers for good, they decide to be a harmless menace to society. Have you considered pulling The Prank?

Sometimes life isn't a perfect story. Sometimes it's just one damn thing after another, right up until it ends.

As her mother lies dead in a still-living body, Twilight Glitter is going to have to come to terms with life—with death, with being, and with not.

Tavi is gone. One day, she packed up all her things and left. Now I'm all alone, and I don't know what to do with myself. There's an ad in the newspaper promoting an experimental program called Project Rita. It says that it allows ponies to see the future of their relationships in alternate realities. Perhaps I could use it to see Tavi again?

Tony Stark considers himself a fairly open-minded guy, given the whole Iron Man thing and all. There's nothing that can't be explained away by science.

...Even a very tiny lavender unicorn who ended up in his lab. Maybe. Who seems intent on calling him dad. Well, at least he can say to himself he won't have to find a gift for Pepper this year. Now, explaining this one to SHIELD, on the other hand, not to mention getting over his crippling parental anxiety issues? Yikes. ...somehow, facing Ivan Vanko again sounds more appealing.
