This story has been sitting around for years and is unlikely to be finished! See Summersong Scrapped :: Tame for others in the same boat.

It's not that Spike doesn't like playing O&O with Big Mac and Discord; it's just that playing with the same two people every time gets old. Especially when you need four for O&O to be fun.

When Ponyville's favorite nosypony Twilight Sparkle eavesdrops her way into Spike's problem, she offers a very reasonable solution.

And Spike tries it, with not-so-reasonable results.

The game mechanics in this incarnation of Ogres & Oubliettes are largely invented. They are not derived from Friendship is Magic canon nor are they particularly based on Dungeons & Dragons. This story attempts to briefly explain each game mechanic as it is introduced to the characters' campaign.

It’s Hearts and hooves day and Scootaloo is going on a date with her colt friend. The thing is He will also bring his young daughter with him. Scootaloo had liked the filly and asked if she could bring her son with them. To her surprise, he said yes. Now Scootaloo and Lightning Blitz(her son) Must spend an afternoon with the two ponies along with everything that comes with it.

Applejack knew that Apple Bloom was growing up, and she knew that one day it would be her job to tell her about where baby ponies come from, why she suddenly has weird feelings for colts (or fillies, maybe), and what happens to mares every summer that brings the previous two facts full circle. She just didn't think that time would be now. And she also didn't think she'd have to tell her sister's two best friends about it at the same time.

In hindsight, Rarity probably wasn't the best pony to run to for help.

Snails has a secret: a secret power only he can wield, a secret batch of knowledge only he can grasp, a whole secret world over which he rules as an absolute monarch.

Secret except, y'know, it's right there on his flanks. And I'm getting pretty sick and tired of it making that bean-brain act like a complete and total jackass!

No offense to any donkeys reading this...

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Snails/Knowledge (Or Lack Thereof), this story received an Honorable Mention!

This story is a sequel to A Confederacy Of Dunce Caps

He's her daddy. Hers alone, and... they've been alone for a long time. Father and daughter, with each as the only pony whom the other has in the world. As far as Diamond's concerned, that's natural. It's the way things have just about always been. (She was too young to remember anything else.) And therefore, that's how their lives should always be.

Except that now her father is talking about dating. He has his eyes on a mare, and that pegasus can barely keep one eye on anything. Diamond's had all of her father's love for just about the whole of her life, and if somepony else comes in, then... there's going to be less for her. That's just basic business sense. Limited supply, increased demand.

Her father wants to be with somepony again.

There has to be a way for Diamond to save him. Before it all goes wrong.

This story takes place after the events of Anchor Foal and DELWMG, but no knowledge of either story is required.

Modernization is an inevitability every individual in and out of society will come to face with each passing day and night so to speak of: the youth of yesterday and today are no exception, especially considering how vulnerable they are to even the strangest changes as is; even now, mass media has crawled out from the silver screen and into the homes and businesses of many a viewer, even for the homeless themselves.

Today's world has seen better days when it comes to visual media, especially considering what is being put out in front of the youth: once a novelty readily consumed moreso than the fast casuals of junk food, now has become a shadow of its former self before them; now, it's a breeding ground for propagators of ideologies, perverting the course of truth, freedom, and justice through mockery and the like no less.

Verily, this story is not like the others nor is it about the others so to speak of, simply an aftermath of what had came before them; after all, there were more pressing issues taking the forefront of the youths' minds and not just schoolwork and the like as is: friendship was at stake and, along with it, the life of a young filly in a circle of kith and kin - something that many in this day and age can relate to nevertheless.

Even years after Twilight took the throne, there's plenty of excitement in Ponyville. The question isn't whether something interesting will happen, but how ridiculous it will be.

Going by how Snips and Snails are at the epicenter of this one, Apple Bloom's bumping up her initial estimate.

Flurry Heart had been friends with her senior, Fair Facet, for some time now. But she wasn't expecting to develop such a fondness for her. With the Flugelhorn Fancy coming up, Fair Facet is the only pony on her mind. Flurry Heart has fallen hard in love. Keep your head up, Princess! You never know what's coming next!

Flurry Heart x OC

A story spawned from a title idea.

Faced with two prospective paramours, Anon is in a pickle. Both ponies are sweet, pretty easy on the eyes, and totally smitten with him, but there's just a small problem. For all his would-be lovers' strengths, neither of them are exactly what he's looking for...

The Story is set after season 9, roughly 5 years after Princess Twilight Sparkle takes the throne. Snips and Snails are both 18 in the story. The grammar does not follow the show but is rather supposed to impress upon the audience that the characters are older, better educated, and hopefully wiser.

Snips and Snails have been friends for as long as they can remember, but now they are adults, and they are ready to start dating. After being rebuffed by the Cutie Mark Crusaders, they decide to 'practice' on each other, with unexpected results.

Like all new couples, they make a few mistakes along the way. They make no apologies for how they feel but can they make their dreams come true?
