"In The Precocious Princeling's Guide to Diplomatic Relations, there are three rules for how a royal ought to conduct himself abroad.

1. A diplomat of Equestria must obey all local laws of the nation they are assigned to.
2. A diplomat of Equestria should advocate for the interests of Equestria to the best of their abilities.
3. Under no circumstance should a diplomat of Equestria get involved in the following: Political parties, popular uprisings, peasant revolutions, class solidarity movements, coups d'etat, or other attempts at regime change, violent or otherwise.

By the time I had finished my tenure in Saddle Arabia, I had broken all three."
-Prince Blueblood, First of His Name

Fluttershy has always been scared of Nightmare Night. Aside from one scary experience she put up for her friends, she was never interested in all these trick or treat things like everypony else was...

However, Rushing Wind, one of her friends, told her that there would be nothing to worry about and that nothing is real despite these scary looks of the costumes, and so, Fluttershy joined him through this special day of year.

But when all of a sudden a magic demon strikes upon the hour twelve and not even the princesses can stop it... Who could save us?

Rated E for Everyone. My first shot at a Nightmare Night story.

Red and Yellow have only completed a few missions and they're still as green as grass, so it's up to Orange to teach and guide them. If he can find the patience to deal with Red's sass and Yellow's complaining. The job is as simple as it is dangerous though: to salvage leftover trash from abandoned facilities. They'll need teamwork and trust and the mental fortitude to stare down the very horrors that led the previous inhabitants to flee in the first place. And maybe, just maybe, they'll even need... sacrifice...

A Lethal Company fanfic. You don't need to be familiar with the game to follow along. I was careful with it :P

On an adventure of pirate treasure and stereotypical natives, Rainbow Dash found herself in a bizarre situation that common sense can't help.

(This one-shot story has been left here for months, made before a nonpublished story that was made before Flowers on a rocky path.)

Pony named Glass Heart who lived in Vanhoover moved to Canterlot to try and find a purpose in life.

He's a struggling detective in the peaceful world of Equestria, he moved back to Vanhoover to meat back with his parents.

A moment makes him realize something weird.

Little does he know that this little moment would spill out a large number of undiscovered conspiracies that lay in Equestria.

Cast out of the Celestial Palace, the former Royal Student, Sunset Shimmer, is about to take life into her own hooves and seize what rightfully belongs to her, on the other side of that mysterious Mirror Portal.

Only problem is, somepony else got to the mirror, first. It's gone, vanished.
So is Celestia.

On the bright side, the new Acting Princess, Mi Amore Cadenza (or Cadance, as she likes to be called), is willing to ignore that banishment and give Sunset a second chance. She's heard the rumors about the reclusive, disobedient, and just-generally-mean Royal Student, but the Acting Princess needs all the help she can get.

So, all of a sudden, Sunset goes from being a disgraced scholar, banned from the palace grounds, to serving as a valuable asset of Princess Cadance's desperate scramble to hold the Principality of Equestria together and figure out what on Equus even happened to the Princess of the Sun.

Now, Sunset just has to avoid royally peeving off the ponies giving her a second chance: to ingratiate herself to them, even; to make herself indispensable. She can lie, cheat, and swindle like nopony else in the Celestial Palace, and it's time she used those talents for somepony other than herself.

Starting with this little project of Cadance's. The Princess needs to recruit a young group of friends to serve the Crown and Harmony, and she's already got a lead. Sunset just has to do the actual hoofwork of meeting the candidates, and then she can dust her hooves of this and go back to her studies, secure in her appointment as Royal Student.

What's the worst that could happen?

Comes after Stay of Execution, but that work is not required to appreciate this one. Provides context for Understudy.

Rated Teen for coarse horse language and various threats made to ponies' well-being.

Abby takes a job at Pizzeria of Alicorns, a place where fillies and colts can feel like princes and princesses. What Abby doesn't know is the terror behind the place during the dark hours. Will Abby stay or will she leave the job alone forever?

[I don't own Dragon Ball Super or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]

My name is Michael, well... it was. Now I'm known as Goku Black, or Black for short. I was thrown into this world of pastel-colored ponies with magical powers a thousand years ago. I was happy, trained under my Teacher, Master Starswirl. Until another wanted control, I couldn't risk the ponies I cared about getting hurt if he got control, so with the help of the Princesses, sealed me in stone with the help of the Elements of Harmony. I don't know how long I've been here, but it sure has been boring. After what has been centuries, I feel like now is the right time to be released from my stone prison.

After the changelings' failed invasion of Canterlot, Twilight tries to soothe some of Ponyville's rampant paranoia by casting a spell to prove there are no imposters hiding in the town. But her spell leaves her in an alien body, facing a mob of angry ponies who just don't believe her when she says she is Twilight Sparkle.

Or, at least, she was Twilight Sparkle, anyway...
