After returning from the wedding in Canterlot, Fluttershy finds an unexpected house guest waiting for her.

After crashing next to a cottage in Ponyville, Chrysalis is determined to return to her hive. If only that element bearer wasn't a master of forces beyond her control.

Or had a lamp.

Entry for the May Pairings 2022 Contest.

(Somehow) Featured second on 2/6/2022!

Many years after Equestria had fallen into a sense of stability, Anonstallion and Rainbow Dash settle down and raise a child together. Only one problem- Rainbow Dash has the mothering skills of a snake, and Anon must resort to being a male wife. Will the Mane 6 be able to help her become a better mother? Or will Anon continue to raise their foal on his own?

The plan was simple. Set out on a tour of the most remote parts of Equestria, ones that had never heard of the Great and Powerful Trixie, for good or for ill. Spread some wonder, leave some memories, and get home without regrets.

(“Home.” What a strange concept…)

But it's like they always say: No plan survives contact with the audience.

A last minute entry (and second place!) in the May Pairings Contest. Rated Teen for references to alcohol and oblique discussion of suicide; no attempts of the latter are in the actual text.

There was at one point a war of harmony against the evil that ravaged the land of Equestria. Many have fought and died in the frivolous pursuit for the divine power to rule all without cease. Once the war had ended, their badlands king had no choice but to submit to the Equestrian crown and ally himself with Celestia and Luna.

A Filly Anon in Anthro Equestria and things go horribly wrong.

More specifically they are a "normal" pony, and despite somehow understanding what others were saying others couldn't understand him or rather her.

Also she has allergies.

Starlight Glimmer is the best thing to ever happen to me. She's by my side through thick and thin, and whatever hardships we face, we always face them together. She's an amazing mare and an amazing friend, one who inspires me to be the best Trixie I can be. And in turn, I push her to believe in herself as much as she believes in me. Twilight will never hear me say this, but she's right, friendship absolutely can be magic.

But I want more than just friendship, than being besties. I know it's crazy—she's leagues above me! But I don't care. Tonight, I tell her the truth. Tonight, I'm going to say the three most terrifying words in the Equish language.

Stars help me, I am not drunk enough for this!

Takes place several months after S8E19 "Road to Friendship".

Contains:

• nightly impressive alcohol consumption
• lightly suggestive dialogue
• slightly progressive tonal shift from drama to comedy.
• And what might be excessive expletives for younger readers

Inspired by the oft-covered song "Killing Me Softly". If you're a Millennial or Gen X, you probably know the Fugees' version. If you're a boomer, you probably know Roberta Flacks' cover. But Lori Lieberman is the OG singer and co-writer.

This is my first serious(ish) story in several years, and I'd like to thank Ice Star for helping with the cover; my Google Docs prereaders who I no longer remember the fandom names of because I procrastinated on editing this for almost two years: Rep Hex, –P, Min, Jeremy, yay force, Lightning Flash, and anonymous; and also Aragon for letting me bounce ideas off of him. I sat on this for almost two years, so he probably doesn't remember it lol. The fantastic cover art of best ship is by Imalou.

Thank you so much for reading my first new story in exactly a year, please leave any feedback good or bad, drink plenty of water, and have a blessed day!

After the banishment of her sister, Celestia takes some actions that the Elements of Harmony don't seem to approve of. Seeing this change in behavior, the elements come together and have a discussion about what to do next.

A collection of short stories, each not more than 150 words.

Done for Loganberry’s Flashfic 150 contest. (Note: Not all stories collected here were the final Submissions for each prompt)

Getting bored with her retirement, Celestia decides to try her luck in multiple occupations… and gets kicked out of each one.

Meta:

The story is marked as 'complete,' but if you liked it you may add it to your watch list. I may add more chapters later when I think of something else fitting for Celestia to mess up

Rarity is in quite a dilemma: her little sister got into trouble, and she has to help her out of that mess!

However, life often takes strange curves, and sometimes, the most innocuous thing can lead to a huge change in your life...
