This story is a sequel to The First Adventure

The entire city of Canterlot is on edge after the changeling invasion. Buildings are damaged, the royal wedding delayed, and some ponies are missing. One of those is a handypony named Tinker Cob. His employers and friends hire a private investigator to try and find him. However, this missing pony has a terrible secret. He may just disappear forever.

This story is part of The Quicksilver Chronicles, a series of stories that follow the adventures of Quicksilver and Misty as they make their way through whatever fate throws at them. While it would be good to read the series in order, knowledge of the prequels is not required to understand and enjoy this story.

After escaping their stone imprisonment, the ex-villains of Equestria, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow go on an unexpected journey together, where along the way, they’ll discover there's more to each other than they first thought, opening doors to bonds they never would of thought possible.

Is power really just all Cozy needed? Outside approval what Tirek wanted? Or a new place for Chrysalis to belong? What do these three very different creatures have to learn, or gain, from each other?

Even as a job to get some adornment from their singing fans, it wasn't enough. They only go on vacation for every once in awhile after making enough money. Not to mention the swimsuits they had to afforded.

They want attention from so many people from their hobbies. But little did they know, they have their sights on a certain someone they're giving a liking to on the beach. And that someone is you.

Rarity has finally opened her own boutique store in Canterlot, which is a dream come true! That means that she can sell her newest line of fashion clothes to many ponies who adore the princesses and let them shine throughout Equestria, and enjoy her newfound fame, right?

Wrong! Because somehow, one way or the other, Sassy Saddles, her manger at said store has taken a great deal in only ONE of the dresses in the Royal regalia collection and that’s the “princess dress.” And that has been gaining popularity ever since the store has opened! Frazzled, Rarity tries to make some new creative additions to the dress to show her unique style which got shot down automatically by her manager, and the customers who want each dress the same way as it was. When Rarity decides to shut down the boutique by having a closing down sale, she then finds out the ponies adore the other dresses and realizing that Rarity’s rules are creative and one-of-a-kind, Sassy decides to help Rarity run the boutique her own way.

But what if something else happened?

What if at Sassy’s suggestion of an assembly line, Rarity decided to throw in the towel and close down her own boutique for good? How would Sassy react? How would her friends react? How would all of Canterlot react? How different would it have been? It would probably result in an outcome that Rarity would regret later on...

An alternate ending to Canterlot Boutique, and the sixth in my alternate ending series.

The much anticipated promotion of Shining Armor to Captain of the Canterlot Guard arrives, but is overshadowed by a bout of mania in his younger sister Twilight Sparkle as well as an even more anticipated marriage proposal. The bout of mania gives the infiltrating Changeling enemy chances to spread misinformation, and they begin to gather strength from opposition within Equestria itself...

If you're new to this series, it is recommended to start with Season 1 here!

Prev: The Day of Discord | Episode 24 (2-2): Zero Point | Next: Loyalties

By the year 2238, two-thirds of humanity have become "ponies', living in an online virtual reality paradise where everything they could ask for is theirs to have at a moment's notice. It is a world of freedom, where all biological needs are eliminated and you can live forever doing whatever it is that pleases you.

But for some, Equestria can seem less a paradise and more a prison, an artificial and manufactured place where nothing is real and everything is a simulated lie to make you feel comfortable. Perhaps, even the feelings of the mare sitting next to you holding your hoof. How could you ever be sure even your own feelings are truly yours if you're just a program stored on a server?

Does living in Equestria mean Twilight Sparkle has to choose between her heart and her soul?

Entry for 2021 "Friendship is Optimal" contest. Pre-read by TheAlbinocorn, RTStephens, and FanOfMostEverything

Twilight and her friends have shared many adventures, but for Princess Cadance, being the mother of a baby alicorn is the greatest adventure of all.

And as Terry Pratchett taught us, "adventure" is a word that means a mess of bad food, no sleep, and folks trying to kill you.

But when the burdens of rulership and parenthood get to be a little much, Cadance can always count on her family to be there for her. A weekend visit to her favorite sister-in-law's castle should perk her right up!

An entry in the Cadance Is a Terrible Mom 2021 competition.

Cadance tries to be the best mom in the world. She really does. But when she's summoned to Flurry's school after her young daughter gets in a fight with a classmate, she wonder just how good of a mom she's capable of being.

My technically-not-late entry into the Cadance Is a Terrible Mom contest.

The banishing of Nightmare Moon has brought much suffering to thestrals throughout Equestria. They are seen as servants to a wicked manifestation of the night, and are treated accordingly. Many officials, including the mayor of Manehattan, use every opportunity to gain from this abuse.

Yet the spirit of the bat-winged ponies is not so easily broken. Count Shadow Wing leads a band of Thestrals to demand their rights be returned... or else.
