Zecora explains to Twilight why she talks the way that she does, and she does it completely in anapestic tetrameter and character-consistent end rhyme.

Have you ever wondered where Trixie got her cart?

Perhaps how Fluttershy learned "The Stare"?

Or maybe who it was that drove Rarity "colt-crazy"?

What happened when Zecora first moved into the Everfree?

This time, I think I'm actually going to follow through on my effort to make my OC a relevant part of Equestrian history. Because why not? Gather round, please, and prepare yourself for the story of how Somber Star learned the truth of his destiny... and rejected it. Along the way, life happens to everypony nearby, and death happens to a few.

Strawberry Sunrise is facing the worst Hearth's Warming Eve ever. On the cold holiday night, she must find a unicorn to help her with a quite specific spell.

Applejack, the last pony in Equestria she wants help from, makes an unprompted suggestion: using Earth Pony Magic.

Changeling Drone 626 had considered a lot of things after being banished from the Hive. Most of these things consisted of cursing whatever deity above decided to ruin his life by making him the way he was, wondering if there was any point in moving forward, and questioning his own sanity in a world without the Hive Mind to lean on for comfort.

What he did not consider was the possibility of ever being accepted by the ponies, much less becoming a part of the nation’s only self-defense system!

With a past he'd rather leave behind, and a future filled with only more uncertainty then before 626 could only wonder one thing...

Why did he ever think it was a good idea to go into that silly little pony town, regardless if it was a favor for Zecora or not!

Welcome one and all to my own take of the series! Yes yes I know its cliched and done a thousand times, but what can I say? I couldn't get the idea out of my head once it was in there, and I figured it was my turn to give this whole 'Seventh Element OC' idea a shot.

So read on dear friends and readers, as we journey through the story we all know and love with a new twist! Let's see how long a defective changeling can survive being a part of the Elements of Harmony, and considering its me writing this you know some good old DWC chaos is around to help in the 'fun.'

I give him a week before a mental breakdown hehehehehe...

Big thanks to the amazing Puzzling Frost for proof-reading and editing the story! He does a amazing job and the story wouldn't be as good as it is without his help!

So, my friends and I woke up in this forest none of us recognize, and were scattered by these wooden dog things. Now I gotta find my friends before we get into any more trouble. Now if only I wasn't a foot tall, and can say more than "Eevee"....

This is a random thought that popped into my head one day. I figured I'd get it out now. Still don't quite know where this'll end up, so let's take this adventure together.

Character tags and categories will be added as needed.

Memories of being ostracized by Cozy Glow and the other pony students, and bullied by dragons back home for going to "pony school", haunt Smolder as horrific nightmares that cause her to nearly break. On a particular night, after being awoken by one such nightmare, Smolder flies into the Everfree Forest and accidentally wakes a roc. Can any creature save her? Help her love herself?

Sometimes, we forget we realize how much we might mean to others. Some Smolcellus. Cover art by me.

Rated T for mild language, graphic violence, blood, a near-death experience, emotional abuse and implied physical abuse.

Neil was a High school student with a natural passion in stone age history, namely that of cavemen and their escapades. Despite his interest in early man's history, Neil lived an unexceptional life. He spent his days in personal research, or hanging out with his best and only friend, Trisha. He was a single child with no practical modern interests, or even the ambition to find one. Neil lived this way contentedly, for the most part, until a girl named Helen arrived in town and enrolled in his school. Now, he's stranded in the middle of a hostile forest, with only his school gear and knowledge of the stone age to survive. But, he soon realizes there are worse things than lions, tigers, and bears to battle in these strange woodlands: sinister vegetation, mythological beasts, broods of ravenous insects of unnatural size, and an unusually sapient locality of equines that don't consider his presence a blessing. Neil must overcome these obstacles, or perish trying.

Rated Teen for survival situations, violence, mild gore, and language.

This story was inspired by all my favorite survival books and movies.
