Button Mash has been a classic gamer since he got his first game. However, things change when a new, innovative game comes out, plunging Button into the world of FPS gaming. What he doesn't know, is that it's not just about the thrill. It's all about the game.

(I own nothing. Enjoy another story of mine followers, if there are any of you.)

For the third year in a row, the Grand Galloping Gala ends in chaos.

Twilight really should have expected as much.

A finalist in Everfree Northwest's Iron Author Challenge! Written in just two hours, with the prompt-words fire, palpable, & brooch.

Prince Blueblood is the most eligible stallion in Equestria. All the mares know it (as do a measureable percentage of the other stallions, but that's not exactly a problem). The problem is, Blueblood knows it as well, which is why he's decided to be the perfect boor at social events, under the assumption that only the most worthy mare would trouble herself with his loutish behavior and prove herself worthy of his attention, affection, and sizeable fortune.

It wasn't a particularly good decision, but then again, he was raised to be Eligible, Handsome, and Intelligent, but not Wise, which is why our story begins in the aftermath of a Particular Grand Galloping Gala, wherein our frosting-covered hero sets his first hoof on a path that, if he's very, very lucky, might see him imprisoned for life married.

No matter what happens, he is, most likely, doomed.

On the day Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash are to give self-defence lectures to Ponyville’s earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi, Discord asks them to help him clean up a mess he’d left behind before he’d been turned to stone by the Royal Pony Sisters. This leaves Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to try and give defence lessons in place of the smartest, strongest and fastest members of Ponyville’s Royal Taskforce…

Starry Nights thought she was a relatively normal pegasus. Sure she was dating a batpony, had an obsession with the night sky, and had been suffering from recurring nightmares since she was a foal, but besides all of that she was a completely normal pegasus. That was until she was sent by the magazine she wrote for to cover the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration, then her life was flipped upside down.

With Nightmare Moon's return, Starry is now trapped in the middle of a civil war between Nightmare's forces versus what remains of the Solar Guard. She is now forced to confront her destiny set in motion a millennia ago, and discover who she truly is. But she is not without help as Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, a mysterious spirit, and others assist on her journey to activate the Elements of Harmony, and defeat Nightmare Moon.

Twilight Sparkle brings the plagues unto Canterlot when Celestia turns the others of the mane six to stone.

It's almost time....the contract has just one stipulation left. Just...one. After that...well Discord gets to make good on the promise he made to Fluttershy all those years ago,he promised her she would live on through more than just memory,but she made him sign a contract. It's so tempting to give that last part a tiny little push...but he knows better,the stipulations must happen naturally...but still,the wait has driven him sane.

Whilst waiting for Rarity to finish her shift at Nightmare Moon's castle, the Cutie Mark Crusaders listen to cutie mark stories from a strange assortment of ponies who happen upon them, including a vain femboy, a headstrong veteran, a shifty necromancer, and more!

The ASD, or Arcane Spells Division, is Equestria's first line of defence against magical threats. Twilight used to be a part of the ASD, but after moving to Ponyville, she had long ago left that life behind her. But this kind of life isn't the kind you leave behind.
