Miner Derpy Hooves is sent deep into the crust of the planet Hockses to kill bugs, defeat interloping rival corporations, poach alien technology, drill for precious resources, and mine like her life depends on it (which it does).

All in a day's work on Deep Pony Galactic's payroll.

Crossover with Deep Rock Galactic. Prior knowledge of the game not required.

Entry to the 2024 Science Fiction Contest. Because why not.

Fluttershy had her suspicions. After all, no one knows her body quite like she does. As a result, it came as no surprise when the doctor told her the big news:

She's going to have a foal.

She has some conflicting feelings about this, but she can only imagine what Anon, her boyfriend and the soon-to-be father of her child, will think.

Maybe April Fools' Day wasn't the best time to learn this information.

This story is a sequel to I'm normal, Twilight!

Since Twilight stopped worrying about Alex's behavior, his life in Equestria has gotten a little better. No, the ponies still can't pronounce his name correctly. But overall it's not bad

Until today, when Twilight and Spike have to go to Canterlot for some reason. They didn't dare leave fifteen-year-old Alex at home alone (They did the right thing). And the only one who agrees to take him in for a couple of nights is Applejack. Unfortunately for Alex, this pony doesn't really like the one thing about him that she plans to fix.

His fear of working.

Alex. Fifteen years old. He got into Equestria a couple of months ago and has already been able to adapt quite well. At least he has a house and money. Unfortunately, he has several problems. For example, ponies almost never pronounce his name correctly. But among all the problems, there is the most serious one. Twilight Sparkle and her special attention to Alex's behavior. And today she crossed the line. Will Alex be able to get Twilight to leave him alone today?

When Sunset got accused of going back to her old ways, she was naturally confused and upset as anyone would be. Everyone thinks she's guilty until her framers accidentally post the wrong image and Sunset sees a groupchat her friends have insulting her and she is pissed.

She's seen dozens of graduating classes go beyond her realm. Graduate and pass off into adulthood, move from her aged classroom and to bigger and better things than what high school could offer them. If their life peaked here, it was not because of her; it was always best to encourage more than a teenage life. But watching so many settle for so little grated Cheerilee to her core.

She'd studied for years to tend to others. Her medicinal skills were perhaps not as fine as the greatest surgeon's, but she knew human anatomy. To heal wounds, to comfort terrified souls, to dispense medical knowledge that would benefit those about her; Redheart was as capable a comfort as she was a clinic, and nothing this school could bring her had managed to best her yet. But to deal with the excess of teenage stupidity and bravado when so many seemed intent on wounding themselves was despairing.

It was tired to watch the world go by, growing older alongside you. Maybe they just needed a breather, and a whispering ear.

Part One of my Christmas special. Enjoy!

Nurse Redheart's life may seem like a challenging one to most. But to her, it's never been about the difficulty.

All she wants to be is a good nurse.

Picture, if you will, the most mundane of existences that could ever be imagined on our planet. What you just thought up was probably very much like my own, happy, regular, uninteresting-in-every-possible-way life. Simply mix in a healthy dose of 'staying away from women or romance of any kind at all costs' and you've got it down pat.

Well, that didn't last long.

I guess all that boring-ness was saved up in some cosmic karma pool or something, because I've suddenly woken up in a strange pony land where everything's flip-flopped and I'm treated like a helpless child. And all with a new body, to boot!

Joy of all joys.

Hi, my name's Heath. Here's my story.

RGRE

This narrative is essentially the culmination of everything I've wanted to see happen in similarly-themed stories but never did. It is my belief that perhaps the best reason for writing a story is that you really want to read one that has not yet been written. That was certainly the case for Libero.

In any case, I won't spoil too much, but the purposeful lack of Comedy, Human, or Slice Of Life tags should be indication enough that this fic will not be following the path of its predecessors.

Updates will likely be very sparse, as that's just the kind of writer I am.

When Granny Smith arrives at Ponyville Hospital with a broken hip, Nurse Redheart resolves to take care of her.

An entry for A Thousand Words Contest II in the horror category.

Ponyville Hospital is about to get a very important visitor. Why is she there, though? The full harrowing details are about to be revealed... Set just after Twilight's Kingdom.

Written for the Thousand Words Competition. After MANY edits, and LOTS of bellyaching... I finally got there in the end.
