Love is built up over time, and no one knows that more than Ocellus.

By hook or by crook, Scootaloo has managed to land a job as the personal pedagogue for Princess Flurry Heart. Years as a Cutie Mark counselor have helped her bury any baggage she may have originally brought to the role, but perhaps a filly like Flurry needs Scootaloo the pony, not Scootaloo the professional social worker.

A big, Crystal Empire-sized thanks to Nitro Indigo for pre-reading and helping me get the tone of the fic just right. Scoots's portrayal needed to walk a very fine line, and Flurry Heart is a fun but challenging character to craft a personality for.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Equestria is at War.

The remnants of an Enemy once thought vanquished returns and has brought all of Equestria to it's knees. After two years of fighting, the battle to decide the fate of Ponyville will soon begin.

As she mentally prepares herself for upcoming assault. Rainbow Dash decides to have a conversation with a pony whom just a few years ago was the sworn enemy of Equestria.

It was a Question that has been burning in her mind for a very long time.

"Sombra, Why did you join the Royal Guard?"

---------------------------------------------------

Well here is my second story. This idea has been brewing within my mind for a long time. I have searched all over but I've never seen a story that had King Sombra with this concept so I decided I would try my hand at it. Hope you all enjoy!

Also this is NOT related to my previous story 'Just Close you Eyes' in anyway. This story is completely separate.

Spike is sacrificing every second he can to sleeping—not because he is lazy, but so he may be with his love: Princess Luna. Unable to expose their affection to the world, they hide it within a dreamscape. But they crave more. Will the dream end?

This sleepy and midnight entry was part of B's 24-Hour Stream. Forgive some of the mistakes for eyes were sometimes closed during the writing of this piece. Hope y'all enjoy it.

In order to ensure Prince Blueblood does not threaten the security of the royal line of succession, Princesses Celestia and Luna devise a plan to remove the problem. Unfortunately, this involves removing Blueblood's balls.

In order to save his stallion-hood, Blueblood calls upon his friend and mane-stylist, Zephyr Breeze, to save him. Their solution? Get hitched.

Warning: This is a wacky fic, so there will be crazy character pairings and everyone is going to be at least a little out of character. Really, a lot of them will be way out of character. You have been warned.

Rated teen for swears and innuendos.

Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops!

TV Tropes

One night, Twilight notices something odd as she's nestled in bed with Rarity: her hair smells different, just slightly. The next morning, her tea tastes a little bit less sweet, and the flowers outside smell somewhat less fragrant. Out at a cafe together, the music doesn't sound as sharp and clear, and Rarity's new dress feels marginally less smooth against her coat.

Twilight just wants to know what's happening, so she can fix it. It has to be temporary, after all.

On the surface, it's an ordinary meeting between friends. Fluttershy and the former Princess Celestia are friends, aren't they? How could they not be?

And because they're friends, Fluttershy has something very important to discuss with the former leader of Equestria. Very important and very personal. It involves fears, doubts, and the romantic life of the creature who was once Equestria's greatest threat...

A little idea that popped into my head and simply would not go away until I put it down on paper.
