Usually, the remarkably few orphanages that dot Equestria only hold onto their young inhabitants for a few weeks, perhaps months at most.

That isn't the case for Bright Wish, who has lived in one of Trottingham's many such buildings for far too long. Maybe his faked happy attitude is too obvious, or his disfigurement too appalling. There are plenty of explanations he's come up with over the years.

Tonight, after his most recent blunder, the colt has resolved to find the answer to this plight.

Even though he isn't at all prepared to face it.

Typical firefighter day in Canterlot. Everything is boring and routine as long as there are no curious Kirin tourists nearby. They are burning with interest and have no idea about firefighters. For damages, please contact the officials.

Warning: The following story is currently unedited and is currently a unique experiment.

On paper, this should have worked.

The young six didn't intend to be roped into Summer School, and Twilight knew it. She knew the reasons for their slipping grades given that they have saved Equestria a few times, and she knew that it was rather unfair that they have to study again to retake their final test. But upon remembering a game she played when she was in the human world, she hoped to try to make their time fun by borrowing it and having it altered. In hindsight, maybe she shouldn't have made a deal with Discord for a shortcut. Maybe she should have heeded Sunset's warning about magic and human technology mixing - especially one that was decades old.

Nevertheless, the game that was meant to teach her students about world history, culture, and geography, has turned into a race to stop a thief from unleashing chaos.

So it's up to her, her students, and you to find out... Where is Carmen Sandiego?

Chrysalis has an attraction to Starlight Glimmer and she does not care how long it takes, she will one day be her’s. Even if Twilight Sparkle holds Starlight’s heart and even if she is imprisoned, Starlight would inevitably realize the truth.

Applejack is known by her friends and family to be a stoic mare who cries on the inside, and faces every trouble in life with her chin held high. But what happens when a mare carries a burden on her own for too long? What happens when a lifetime of hardship begins to crack her foundation at it's seams?

WARNING - This story contains references to self harm and suicide. It also contains references to alcohol, and quick, moderate depictions of PTSD-type symptoms. I know that sometimes seeing these things is too much for even myself, so please don't read if those things will trigger and bad feelings.

Here are 36 pony limricks. All of them suck.

As a baby, Discord was abandoned by his mother and left behind to be raised by another. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna found him and raised him. While Princess Celestia was busy, Luna took care of the Draconequus who began to see her as his mother. Many ponies feared Discord for his strange appearance and magic which he had little control over.

After Luna was banished, Celestia started taking care of the young Draconequus but due to fear of others judging him, he concealed his true form and asked Celestia to make others forget what he was, she reluctantly agreed and now, no one could remember what Discord was.

Years later, a unicorn tells Celestia of the coming return of Nightmare Moon so she sends her and a disguised Discord to Ponyville to make friends. Will they?

This is a possible retelling of MLP Friendship is magic but the Discord in the entire series. This was inspired by Hero by NalaxSimba.

One morning, fluttershy wakes up to realize she’s no longer in her cottage, or in Ponyville for that matter. On top of that, she’s not even a pony anymore!

In the body of the wasteland’s apex predator, she’ll have to adapt to her new form and the world around her.

(Imagine a slimmer, more upright, more huggable, less hunched over deathclaw, with less grotesque features)

Applejack is a tough, honest, and hard-working pony. She has five friends she could ask for and the greatest family in all of Equestria.

However, one night change her forever.

After Apple Bloom doesn't return from a lesson with Zecora, Applejack goes to find her. Only to see Apple Bloom being attacked by Timberwolves! She quickly saves her sister, but not before being bitten.

Now, each night, ponies speak of a strange pony with wood-like legs and glowing green eyes. And Applejack has no idea what everypony is talking about! However, her friends are trying to solve the mystery of the Timber-pony, not knowing it's Applejack herself!

Base on an idea I had back in 2019, I think.
