This story is a sequel to Not-Quite-Straight Talk

What to do when you're a teenage girl in love with someone you aren't sure loves you back? You wax lyrical about it, of course. But, considering this is Rarity we're talking about, she's significantly more, shall we say, structured in such things.

This story is part of the Post-Recovery + Shipping Timeline.

Twilight was trying a new spell. It backfired.
She lost six test subjects and is fighting guilt and sorrow. She calls her friends together so she can confess her horrible crime....

(Its not what you might think. Or maybe it is.)

The Lord of Chaos had little concern for the passage of time... until he got a friend. Wanting to make Fluttershy's birthday the best she's ever had, he resolves to find the best present in all of Equestria.

This story is a sequel to The Storm and the Scorpion

The Storm King has been defeated, his former subjects are recovering, and the world is being rebuilt, trying to erase all evidence of his tyranny. The new chaos god, the sister of the Equestrian prince Antares, has left Equestria in an attempt to heal from the events of the war, and with the help of her friend, the former seapony Princess Skystar, she travels the world, hoping to find the peace she seeks, even if things do not go the way she hopes.

This story is a sequel to Tally Marks

Sunset wouldn't say she's been lying to her friends. She wouldn't say she's been hiding anything from them. She just hasn't been ready to tell them about her depression. It has never felt like the right time. Or place. She doesn't have the right words. The right tone.

But she doesn't want to keep facing this alone. So she tells the one person, or pony rather, she is ready to: Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Scootaloo is an orphan living in Canterlot after having been adopted by Rainbow Dash and her family. She's been plagued by nightmares of the night her parents were killed and of a monster that may have been responsible for it.

When the monsters start to re-appear she gets recruited by a mysterious government organization to fight them. Now she has to work to save the city and everyone in it from the Order, and she may not have to do it alone.

Henshin!

Obviously this is a crossover with the long running franchise Kamen Rider. We'll get into what that means much later.

When Twilight Sparkle's life grew more full of accolades, it grew more full of demands. First, she became Twilight Sparkle, the element of Magic; then she became Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship. Then the savior of two universes, then the rejuvenator of the Tree of Harmony, then owner of the Castle of Friendship. The Redeemer of Starlight Glimmer, the aunt of the world's most powerful alicorn, the headmistress of the School of Friendship. So it went.

And at the end of it all, she realized that Twilight Sparkle didn't really exist anymore - all that was left of her was a series of titles, awards and obligations, and the pony that held it all together was little more than a puppet to the demands of the world around her.

And when she understood that Twilight Sparkle was as good as gone, a second option opened itself up to her: if she could unfetter herself from the glory she had worked all her life to obtain, would Twilight Sparkle exist again - not as a name attached to a role, but a pony with her own hopes, dreams and desires?

And if she did, what would come next?

A brief story about time, reality, pseudophilosophy, self-actualization and surprisingly tasty desserts.

Anon spent the last year in Equestria, learning about its rights and rules, along with the new laws of physics which would be considered a joke back on earth. One of them goes as follows: "Every creature within Equestria's borders is affected by musical magic, making them sing when dealing with intense emotions."

That night, as he was making his way to his home through the streets of Ponyville, he thought back to his home. To his family, his old life, and his old hobbies. He reminded himself of one of the old cartoons he used to watch as a kid, Sesame Street, specificaly to one song he remembered: "I dont want to live on the moon."

He heard the instruments start playing in the background, and he already knew what awaited him.

Unbeknown to him, Princess Luna was passing by, and decided to listen to what the popular human had to sing about.

Gawren has finally made it to Ponycon, a celebration of Equestria's heroes and values. Sure, some other griffons might think it's lame, but those guys were so busy trying to be cool that they never had any fun. And that's what Gawren was here for. Fun. ...And maybe also to meet a particular special somepony. ...Yeah... mostly that.
