Rarity is visiting the Crystal Empire to woo Double Diamond while he is participating in the Winter Games.

Nothing will stop her from being with her beloved Prince.

For the May Pairings (2021) contest.

Edited by the amazing SockPuppet.

Double Diamond has always been forced to hide his true nature. Behind the affable mask he wears lies a stallion colder than ice and crueler than steel, only just in control of his darker impulses. That's what makes living among the changelings, who can sense all of his emotions - or lack thereof - such a delicious challenge.

Written in one hour for the Quills and Sofas 'Black Sunday' contest.

Double Diamond is convinced he and Starlight had a thing going on, unbeknownst to everyone else while she led their town. He can’t rationalize why she chose Sunburst and forgot all about the bond they had shared. He tries to move on but his feelings keep making him miserable the more he tries to secretly hide and kill them for the sake of the couple.

Title based off the episode “Uncommon Bond”.

Zephyr Breeze has work to do.

Written for the Much To Do Panic for Quills and Sofas Speedwriting.

While on the hunt for a US$120,000 bounty, everypony's favourite bounty hunter Reno Raines finds himself in a land of talking coloured horses and steam locomotives. Although a little skeptical at first, Reno eventually finds himself getting along with the ponies and engines. But things take a turn for the worse when Reno finds out to his horror that the bounty he is hunting for is no ordinary bounty, and even the ponies and engines are terrified of it...

MLP:FiM / TTTEAF / Renegade crossover. P.S. If you haven't yet heard of the TV series Renegade, you should go and watch it; trust me, it is REALLY good.

Also look out for appearances by Shadowfax (Rarity's husband in this story) as well as some OCs.

Starlight has always distrusted friendship, but, when she is infected by a disease transmitted via magic, she has no choice but to listen to some lessons about friendship from Double Diamond. Whether she learns anything is another question. A founding of Our Town / Love in a time of “Covid-19” story. (Updated 8/12/21 with very minor details related to The Runway Bodyguard)

The [Sex] tag is for language that indicates something happens, nothing graphic, and that is why it requires the [Teen] rating. While all my Starlight stories are plotted carefully to not conflict with her depiction in the show, nothing in the show implies the Enforcerverse milieu, so I'm bowing to the suggestion and including the [Alternate universe] tag.

The story is written as a one-shot (2 chapters due to size). Technically, this is a sequel to The Enforcer and Her Blackmailers, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed reading out of order. This story is as good a place to start reading these stories as any. In a sense, it is a prequel for Starlight and the Double Diamond Affair (tagged M), but the Our Town events in The Cutie Map are a few years away and will come between this story and and that story. Starlight brings up her past often in story, even revealing information from the novel The Runaway Bodyguard. It could be considered spoilers. As the author, I don’t think it substantially lessens the impact of the other stories.

Sunburst has a massive crush on Starlight that he's had since he was a foal. Trixie is aware of it and pushing him to confess while teasing him every step of the way. Meanwhile, Double Diamond comes to Ponyville to visit Starlight and Maud wonders about his intentions.

Title comes from the song of the same name from "Jem and the Holograms".

Double Diamond is having a bad day. He goes to his normal place to order coffee, and they totally screw up the order.

So he murders somepony. Naturally.

Now with at least 50% more metestential dread! It's a word we just made up that means 'read it'!

Starlight Glimmer knew that magic wasn't enough to manipulate ponies. To get them to see things as she knew they were and change themselves, she needed to say the right things. She would do more than bring ponies to water because her words would make them drink it too.

Double Diamond just knows he will be listening to Starlight Glimmer, and extra careful to obey. Anything to keep him away from that house.

Celestia has often looked to the furthest edges of her kingdom when watching for dangers. Sometimes, she may even journey there, just to make sure things are on the up and up. Today, she goes to, of all places, the former village of Starlight Glimmer. But it is not the mare herself she has come to see, but the village's newest resident, who is not as unfamiliar to her as might first appear.
