After the disappearance of Rainbow Dash during a Wonderbolts training exercise, Equestria flew into a frenzy, looking for the missing mare.

At Twilight's request, Daring Do has also aided in their feeble attempts at finding the dynamic Element Bearer. With Tank in tow, Daring Do explores the mountainous regions of Canterlot, where she stumbles upon a legend once known and now long forgotten… yet closer to home than ever before.

A Prelude to The First Wonderbolt

there is a moment

once in every pony's life

when the time comes

to shed one's baby tail

don't worry, sweetie

it won't hurt

This story is a sequel to The Mystery Mystic Machine

Fortuna is a mystery - literally. Anon has no idea how old she is, who made her, or how she ended up in a scrapyard - still, despite all that, he continues to discover things about her. It feels like every day he's finding something new she can do, oftentimes with disastrous results, and the list of her abilities keeps growing. Fortunately for him, even if he never uncovers all her secrets, he's happy to have made a friend...

Princess Cadance's life is fraught with intrigue, chaos, and diplomacy. She has been trained for it—educated, prepared, and hardened by her Aunt Celestia. However, all the training in the world couldn't prepare her for real life. Things only become crazier with the return of her formerly exiled and insane Aunt Luna, and she finds herself responsible for her newfound aunt amid the mysteries in the seaside town of Queensmouth.

A standalone Winningverse story.

Every so often, once a century or so, Celestia gets a certain itch. With great care, she shrewdly plots a way to slake her wanton thirst for horse shenanigans and tomfoolery. As fate would have it, on this fine occasion, she's chosen to commit larceny, while disguised as the one, the only, Applejack...

Something fun for everybody. I hope y'all enjoy it!

For a thousand years, there was just Celestia. Then Cadance appeared, Luna returned -- and now Twilight has ascended. There are ponies who are very curious about just what happened, why -- and how. Especially the how. Twilight herself is on that list, a freshly-minted princess with far more questions than answers, about to face a brand new one: what truly makes an alicorn?

And what happens if it goes wrong?

Against all knowledge, possibility and explenation, there exists a hotel. A three story building of luxurious design, it's halls are filled with kitchens that never run out of food, an indoor waterpark that always functions, an arcade full to bursting with state of the art game machines and several rooms with the finest quality of beds one can imagine. It seems like a paradise, a place for a perfect dream vacation. But there is a catch...

Nopony who has entered has ever left. They are trapped within the walls. Windows are unbreakable, the fire escapes lead back to the lobby, the front entrance is sealed and cannot be opened. To make matters worse, nopony even knows how they got here...

And Twilight Sparkle is the newest arrival.

EDIT: This got featured the same morning I posted it. What a wonderful surprise to wake up to!

Surrounded by the Everfree Forest, filled with delinquents, devoid of morals and any real sources of magic, Ponyville is the worst place to live in all of Equestria. But it also has the cheapest rent and Twilight's life just collapsed to the point where she can't afford to live anywhere else.

Perhaps the only thing Twilight has going for her now is that Rarity, the most powerful pony in town, has taken a liking to her. Rarity is eloquent, but the leader of a gang. She's beautiful and intriguing, but the most irreverent and delinquent pony Twilight has ever met. Rumors swirl around her. Some ponies even say she and her entire gang are all vampires.

But Twilight is smart enough to not give in to temptations. Or join a gang. Or become a vampire.

The most innocent things can alter the very course of our lives.

Consider; an ordinary, albeit strangely configured, piece of art acquired from a distant land and sent to a seamstress in a small town. She vaguely recalls the relative who has sent the gift, but cannot fathom the reason for the giving of said present.

A closer inspection of the item reveals a bizarre series of symbols inscribed upon the surface, simultaneously repulsive and yet attractive to the young mare's eye...
