"Hey, you used to be Celestia's student, right? Did you know Sunset Shimmer?"

Being Princess Celestia's personal guard is a gruelling, thankless job. However, when the Princess begins tutoring a small purple filly, Bastion finds himself on the receiving end of a much needed hug.

Entry for the EFNW Pre-Con Writing Contest 2015.

Twilight had always been a diligent researcher. She would routinely pour over every book she had at her disposal in preparation for every royal assignment. Except, sometimes books can only teach one so much. With this heretical idea in mind, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash decide to take it upon themselves to make sure Twilight keeps her wings clean, and doesn't embarrass herself in the sky.

Where DO foals come from? The Cutie Mark Crusaders don't know, but they intend to find out!

Pinkie Pie has an existential crisis while painting her room. This self-parody is dedicated to Professor Piggy, who once told me that I could write a story about Pinkie watching paint dry and weave it into an incredible psychological journey. Let's see if he was right.

Phony. Villain.

Monster.

That was what they called Trixie Lulamoon nowadays.

Word of her most recent infamous actions in Ponyville had spread quickly to all four corners of Equestria, and now wherever Trixie went, she was constantly reminded of what she had done.

She hoped that she could somehow regain everypony's respect, to show them that her actions in Ponyville weren't her own and that she could change for the better.

Nopony believed her.

Trixie quickly discovered for herself that capturing the admiration of ponies was nigh impossible now. Nopony wanted to give her another chance. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find any solace in these dark times.

After many, many failed attempts to regain her status in show business, she soon begins to doubt her capabilities as a magician. She even thinks about giving up the profession forever, until an interesting pony helps her remember why she became a magician in the first place, and how all is not yet lost.
