Equestria and Yakyakistan are friends for a thousand moons thanks to the ingenious efforts of Pinkie Pie. However, Twilight still feels guilty about letting everything get out of control like she did. During the party, she approaches Princess Celestia and Prince Rutherford to issue her heartfelt apology in private. But as she soon discovers, she's not the only one who needs to brush up on her diplomacy.

My mini-epilouge to the episode Party Pooped.

Yona experiences the wonders of a nice cup of cocoa on a cold winter day for the first time, and she's eager to share her discovery with her friends and family back home!

Yakyakistan may never recover.

A retrospective on the story.

Now with a Spanish translation!

Ponies are stupid.

They're stubborn, they don't understand weather patterns, and they need to be hugged when they get hurt.

It's stupid and confusing, but Prince Rutherford isn't going to back down from helping his Honorary Yak.

(Third Place in CategoricalGrant's CuddleFic Contest. Prompts used were having his OC, Wave Function, make a cameo, and basing the story around sick ponies)

Yaks are one of the most durable sapient species on the planet, a fact in which they take pride.  They have colonized mountains towering beyond the reach of even dragons’ wings. They smash the toughest objects the mountains have to offer for fun.  They don’t settle for second place.

Naturally, they didn’t take it lightly when they heard of Equestria’s plans to explore beyond the sky.

Rocket scientists beware: Heresy dwells within.

My thanks to Bugsydor and Akouma for some idea-bouncing and proofreading. Similarly, big thanks to Rocket Lawn Chair for making an awesome cover. Turns out, there's not a lot out there that includes yaks and rocket science.

Normally in fanfiction, the human gets to Equestria and gets to shag loads and loads of mares. Unfortunately for Devin, he gets thrown off course, landing square into the Frozen North, where the snow is aplenty, the lack of life is high, and the only ones to save him, are yaks. They like to smash...

...and smash again.

Hopefully Devin will survive the initiation ritual, or die trying.

Another idea that was inspired by FamousLastWords's brainstorming session. Maybe he needs to write more HiY/HiE on his main instead of shipping an aged-up Spike with every female character in the show. Nah that's not going to happen.

Princess Twilight Sparkle was a key ally to the reformed changelings. Security, trade, somecreature to vouch for the reality of their reform - without her, Thorax would likely have been deposed, and the hive conquered, long ago.

But that didn’t mean Thorax thought he could rely on just her allegiance to carry the changelings forward. He’d forged an alliance with the dragons since then, and was working on breaking down the distrust of the griffons and hippogriffs. Which left just one group to open up to.

The yaks.

Fortunately, Thorax thought he had a pretty good read on how to handle them. He just hoped he was right about Rutherford being a better diplomat than anypony gave him credit for.

Story originally written for the May 2022 Pairings Contest, we'll see if it posts in time! This is what happens when I get an idea the weekend before the deadline but still have to work.

Cheese Sandwich has a relationship question. Prince Rutherford, of all creatures, has an answer.

It's Yickslurbertfest in Yakyakistan, and one yak is particularly excited as Yona enjoys everything about her life in Yakyakistan. When Prince Rutherford is given a request to send a young yak to a new school in Equestria set up by Princess Twilight to learn about friendship, he sets up a series of games to find the best young yak for the school, and Yona wants to take part.

Yona tells us how it all went down.

In this alternate version of She's All Yak, Prince Rutherford turns up as a special visitor to the party just as the new-look Yona makes an appearance. What do you think his reaction will be? Clue: not great.

Queen Novo, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Dragon Lord Ember, & Gilda. These are the five ambassadors of their respective kingdoms; Mount Aris, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Hive, the Dragon Lands, and Griffonstone. While these five creatures are all ambassadors, they really haven’t spent time with each other. Twilight has an idea to invite them all to Canterlot to see if they could break the ice. Needless to say, they do learn more about their species.
