After a crash leaves Rainbow Dash with the mental state of a child, her friends look after her. At the moment, It's Fluttershy's turn, but she's handling the situation well. Even though, and of course she would never admit it, the strain is starting to get to her. But just a little. Rainbow Dash is her friend, and Fluttershy would sooner die than let her suffer. She can take it.

She can take it.

Just a heads up, this is a might bit darker than my usual stuff.

A commission for Hoovier

When a mysterious magical accident changes Applejack and Fluttershy, how will they - and their friends and family - cope with the result?

Rainbow Dash is given the task of buying a vehicle for Applejack, so she can haul her apples back and forth to the market. Fluttershy assists her with this major purchase. Hopefully, hilarity ensues.

Rainbow Dash loves a good cider, and she seems to love a good hard cider even more. More to the point, Rainbow seems to be enjoying her hard cider a bit more than usual lately. In fact, her near single minded determination to get plastered has raised more than a few brows.

Follow along as Dash wanders the streets of Ponyville in a drunken stupor and discover why she has been hitting bottle with such fervency .

Pinkie Pie likes to make ponies laugh. It's what she does. Her goal is always to make ponies as happy as they can possibly be. So when she hears Fluttershy had a bad day yesterday, she immediately makes it her goal to cheer her good friend up and make her smile.
But maybe not with parties and games this time.

This story is a sequel to Not So Secret

Applejack is in labor on the farm and insists on having her foal the old-fashioned way. Rainbow Dash is the only one with first-hand experience and has to coach her stubborn friend through the process as best she can. Slight, distant sequel to my story Not So Secret.

Mama used to love birdwatching before she passed on. Fortunately for Applejack, she carried the tradition long enough to meet a real live angel. Or somepony close enough.

It's been a rough day for Twilight Sparkle. She was awoken in the middle of the night to save the town, had a chance to study an alien artifact ripped out from under her, and is now stuck with Applejack, Fluttershy, and her arch-nemesis Queen Chrysalis in some alien fighting tournament with a bunch of... things she doesn't even want to try and start describing without a cup of coffee and some asprin!

Indeed, Twilight and her friends have been summoned to join the latest Smash Brothers tournament! And as they explore the mysterious 'Smashworld' and meet new, colorful characters, they will be pitted head to head against new friends and enemies as well as each other! Can their friendships survive being forced to fight one another? Why are all the other 'smashers' so on edge? And what's with the bizarre being that purports to be the creator of this world, "the Master Hand?"

Only one thing is for sure. It's going to be a doozy.

With being outcast from Ponyville and only feeling ill staying in Cloudsdale, Gilda has lived in the Everfree forest for over a year ever since she lost her friend Rainbow Dash.

When the wandering Fluttershy happens upon her home, Gilda finds forgiveness in the last place she would ever expect. But will the rest of Ponyville forgive her?

And will that include a specific rainbow pegasus?
