Welcome to The Frontier 'Fore The Frontier. The bar that'll serve beverages of fine make, justice that flies on swift wings, or perhaps, for the wayward soul, a second chance to set things right.

Trixie’s attempts at cooking are… Far from phenomenal. Her latest attempt has ended in disaster. Fortunately for her, or perhaps unfortunately, Fluttershy has arrived just in time to save her from her cooking nightmare.

Everyone always tells Twilight that the ones who love us never truly leave us.

But that's a lie. It's always been a lie.

Things that live must also die. It's simply the cycle of life, and that cycle doesn't care about love or the pain it causes.

Until one day, that cycle is broken by a forgotten figure from her past: a little tortoise who's not so little anymore.

This story is, first and foremost, a gift for the incomparable Mushroom, who clearly must be some sort of undiscovered species of fungus dog since we definitely don't deserve her. I have it on good authority that this story gave her Many Feelings, and I hope it gives them to you, too. :)

This also won first place in the of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting '2021 Gift Fic Exchange' contest portion, which is neat.

About a month ago If you told me that I would be on a crashing plane heading into the ocean I would have thought you were crazy. But here I was in that exact situation just sitting there thinking about what got me into this so let's go over how I got here...

It takes enormous will to stand up to centuries in exile, and great mental strength to hold one’s self together.

This story is part of Nightmare Night in April.

On a cold Winter night, Police Chief Miranda Rights tries to arrest a very special visitor. With gifts.

Meant as a gift to Estee for the Tryptych Continuum and in particular Miranda Rights, the beleaguered and frequently overloaded Ponyville Chief of Police in the center of Chaos. (and occasionally host to Discord) Rain or shine, quiet nights or rampaging monsters, the thin blue line of the Ponyville police never breaks. (although at times it frays a bit)

Cover art patched together from several sources including Copper Top the police pony and Jean Sapin for the Christmas tree vector.

Now featured on Equestria Daily

After a few months of hating her job and relying way too much on alcohol, Lyra hears of her one true friend from University. She lives in Ponyville and is doing well for herself, well enough that Lyra decided to pay her a visit. Maybe she can help Lyra get her life back on track.

"What happens when you change so much that you don't recognize yourself? What happens when you push everypony away to fit in, even going so far as to shatter your own heart in the process? What do you do to fix everything while you still can?"

Over the years Spike and the rest of the Elements of Harmony have seen a dramatic change with Rarity, even going so far as to degrade the quality, the uniqueness of her dresses. Only after confronted by Twilight and breaking Spike's heart does she finally see what has become of herself. Determined to fix it though, she sets out across the land of Equestria to try and rediscover who she is.

It doesn't matter what a gift is. It's all in the presentation.

I am not competing. Do not judge me. Or do, but not the story at least. Anyways, if you want to enter and actually compete, the rules are there and there's 175$ across three prizes (100, 50, 25) to be won. Good luck!

When Cadence starts to act weird and Lyra shows up again in his life, old feelings start to rise and Shining Armour starts to question who he actually loves. Does he still love Cadence? Or will his old feelings for Lyra take over and possibly ruin his marraige?
