Rarity Belle has been described as many things by many ponies. Some say she is the most beautiful mare to ever live, some say her fashion sense is top notch, some think she is a bit of a drama queen, and some just want to see her mosh.

Rarity Belle may be many things, and a metalhead is most certainly one of them.

Inspired by a silly scene in S7Ep9. I promptly took a screencap and made it the cover art.

I'm not sorry.

EDIT: Due to me being a (man)whore, I'm making a second chapter/epilogue/new-part/something. Brace yourselves for even more metal. Changed my mind, sorry.

Loss is as much a part of life as breathing itself. Now the Apples lay down another member of their family unto their orchard.

Somehow managed to be featured second and then first on 14/10/22!

Rarity's birthday is coming up soon, and Spike is looking for a birthday present for her. As he is walking down to market, he overhears one stallion tell another that his fillyfriend showed him her filly bits. Spike thinks that these are collector's editions of regular bits that are used as currency, and decides they would be a great gift for Rarity.
Rated Teen & tagged sex for suggestive themes and euphemisms (no sex happens, though).

Many, many years into her reign as the ruler of Equestria, on the night before Hearth's Warming Eve, Princess Twilight finds that she must say goodbye to one of her oldest friends, one last time. But will she have to say goodbye alone?

Partly inspired by the FiM song, Days Gone By.

Some Season 9 spoilers if you haven't seen the finale yet.

Applejack waits for the last train of the night back to Ponyville...

-Rarijack- -First Person POV-

Being part of the Apple family requires certain things. One key part: you have to enjoy eating apples in all their forms. ALL.

Applejack knows there's a big gap in Rainbow Dash's culinary world, and that won't do. If they're going to be together, they must cross that final bridge. Of pie.

Back in Big Macintosh's school days he got into a fight over some jokes somepony made about the wrong filly.

It's been a couple of weeks and way more than a couple of games since Pinkie Pie introduced the Mane Six to the joys of playing the classic real-time strategy title, Age of Empires II. Unanswered questions surround this mysterious game: where did it come from? Who made it? Why is there so much killing?

Never mind all that - Twilight Sparkle and her friends have a game to play!

NOTE: Though I've tried to make the story more about the relationships between the four gamers (no Rarity or Fluttershy, sorry!) than about the game itself, some rudimentary knowledge about Age of Empires II is required if you want to understand what is going on. I wrote this as a short-ish story so I'm not really going to go into technical details much.
