After she thinks she bombed a date with Fluttershy. Rarity runs home, but she has another date with Fluttershy the next day. How will that go?

No friends, no cutie mark, no future. The life of Muddy Waters could be measured in teaspoons, but who's to say a lone scavenger pony couldn't live more than one life? After a chance find underneath the Centennial River Wetlands, Muddy Waters will discover an ancient treasure so valuable that the only one she can trust with such a treasure is herself. But who's to say the treasure is the most valuable thing to gain? As the saying goes, the real treasure is the sisters we made along the way.
Now that the winds of change roll over a dead Equestria, safe harbors are few and far between. How long can a single scavenger hold on to what's rightfully hers? More importantly, how long can she hang on to herself?

Featuring The Mane 6, (and possibly some other characters).. We have a fun, cute slice of life story where ponies help a friend out, AND/OR have fun doing day-to-day things. There might have some chapters based around the CMC, hey, who knows! Why don't you read and find out?

After seeing his father die in front of his eyes by a griffon, a masterless samurai named Aka Kabuto vows to dedicate his life to avenge his father and regain his honor.
Join Aka Kabuto in this Japanese Edo-period inspired version of Equestria as he learns the meaning of forgiveness of himself and how revenge can cloud one's judgement.

Princess Luna’s most treasured place is not what one might expect. She carries out her most important work in a small room on the outskirts of the dream realm. It’s time for her to beautify it for its next little occupant.

This story is a sequel to Flying Sky-High

So much has happened in the past year. Friends have been made, battles have been fought, and love has bloomed. Now at long last, Rainbow Dash has the chance of a lifetime: a chance to become a Wonderbolt and instantly be part of an elite squad. However, one of the key judges for the tryout is none other than her love: Soarin. He is bound by his profession to be fair and honest in his selection. Will their relationship give Dash an edge in the tryouts? Or will it strike her down before she even gets there?

Also what of the dark magic within Soarin? He's kept quiet about it for a while, but not all is as well as he lets on.

And what of the Shadowbolts? They scattered after the battle with Nightshade. Surely they didn't just disappear.

A story of remaining strong in the face of harsh challenges. Life and love can be tough, but strong hearts always find a way to prevail.

This Fic's length is a bit intimidating, but it is broken into four parts, each of which could be considered their own stories with clear beginnings and conclusions. I decided to keep it all together because it was how my outline was structured (aka i completely underestimated the length).

This is not a Gurren Lagann Crossover. The title was a coincidence. (But said coincidence has led to many references and characters that parody the anime)

With the fall of reach many Spartans were active in the beginning and end of the defense. Many lost their lives in the hope of saving the planet. They failed.
_______________________________________________

The Changeling hive launched a desperate attack on Canterlot to save themselves from extinction. It failed. With the whole world now knowing about them they have no choice but fight for their very survival. Outmatch and outnumbered, they have no hope of survival. They fight for precious land to give the hive more time for an effective solution or war ending strategy that will save them. With Equestria hell bent of the destruction of the hive this seems unlikely. All seems hopeless. They need something to deliver them hope.

The relics from a distant age, long forgotten by the pony kind. Twilight Sparkle is now tasked with retrieving them. Is this task proven too much for her? Is the Princess of Friendship ready for this challenge?

Sunset Shimmer is forced to reconsider her future as a citizen of Earth rather than as a student of magic in Canterlot, and part of giving up her life in Equestria means giving up her original form forever, triggering a bout of intense homesickness in the ex-unicorn.
After an encounter with an unknown magical source, Sunset's greatest wish is granted. She is once again a unicorn, back in her original body.
Just one problem.
Actually, several.
She's lost, she can't be seen by anyone but her friends, and she stands at a solid three feet tall.
Oh yeah. And her magic isn't working.

An alien scientist is startled when Pinkie Pie stumbles across his ship in the woods near Ponyville. For him Pinkie is a problem: he's not allowed to make contact with intelligent natives.

Pinkie Pie is overjoyed when she stumbles across an alien spaceship in the woods near Ponyville. For her the alien is a new friend, to be given a Welcome to Ponyville party with all sorts of treats.

Of course, the alien is really alien- a methane-breather who can't leave his refrigerated ship. His biochemistry is very different from a pony's. Can Pinkie Pie find something he can eat that isn't poison? And can he keep other ponies from finding his hiding place and forcing him to leave before he's had his party?
