The narrow-gauge steam locomotive, despite its size, is the most remarkable vehicle on land. And the engines of the Ponyville Narrow-Gauge Railway are the power behind the industries and sightseeing that make up their beautiful line. This, is “Narrow Gauge Engines”!

Warning: The following story is currently unedited and contains dark humor, an odd set up for a practical joke among immortal Princesses, whom one of them will no doubt go crazy, random things before she thinks she "kicks the bucket."

It just might be the most ingenious prank that Princess Luna has ever conceived. A simple one at that. All she had to do was to bribe her sister's most trusted doctor to tell her that she's dying. With only about a week left, Celestia then decides that she will spend her last eight days doing the crazy, immature, random and funniest things that she could think of while preparing for her own funeral.

Equis faces a foe so powerful that the only choice Celestia has to defeat them is to release her full power. Such a choice would destroy not only the enemy, but all life in Equestria. It is not something she can do, yet to do nothing would be just as fatal. What is needed here is a different kind of power. One wielded with the skill and finess of a surgeon, or a doctor.

Thorax is still getting used to living among ponies. They do so many strange and yet somehow wonderful and amazing things! Not so amazing, though, is his brother Pharynx's discovery that Thorax has been disobeying his orders and living openly among ponies. Desperate to avoid being dragged back to the hive as a traitor, Thorax lies, insisting he's only been pretending to gain the trust of these ponies so he can betray them and avenge Chrysalis. Now, somehow, he has to make that lie seem true, and things will definitely not go according to plan when he tries, even with the help of his new pony friends.

(A commissioned story.)

Maureen isn't completely happy with her middle aged life, but at least it's hers. She's lived it and, if she wants to, she can decide that it ends soon as the Earth is consumed by the land of Equestria. There's a potion she has that can save her existence by turning her into a pony, but she isn't sure that's the right choice. What would she gain in drinking it? And what would she lose?

A Conversion Bureau inspired story.

WARNING: Contains thoughts of depression and death.

Written as a commission for Griseus. If you hate Conversion Bureau fics... blame them.

Sometimes life just sucks, doesn't matter if you live with a bunch of callous humans or friendly little ponies.

What really matters is how you cope when things get hard, when your lost and can't find you're way, when you're alone and have no one to rely on.

Because in the end I am who I choose to be, and NO ONE will take that away from me.

What would you do if because of one mistake, you find yourself unsure of what to do?

Follow Skyshine as she experiences this and with the help of friends. She will overcome this, and help the pony she carries to shape the world one day

Crumbling the cornerstones of morality and civility in her crusade for comrades. Come follow the calliope's croon, compiled notes of conviction and cordiality, soar in her castle's cloisters under her compassionate gaze. She can convince all the cute fillies and colts into the comfort of her calloused cuffs, cut from constructing paradise, complete now for certain. Who could compile such a complex contraption to condescend all creations? Come, complete the caper, it could be no other convict than Carnival Cat.

Twilight Sparkle (You) desperately flees from the latest in a seemingly endless line of predators: The Humans. For years they've stalked the unicorn through the refuge of the whitetail woods, each time waiting for the moment her guard drops to strike. Exceptional teleportation keeps her just a hair ahead of her assailants again and again, but just what happens when that luck runs out?

Prequel to "Staying out of trouble", "Chase" explains just how Twilight ends up in her future situation as well as explores under just what circumstances friendships can form. "Chase" is canon but not required reading to understand "SOoT".
