Being a mother is never easy. But when you're a single mother who happens to have a daughter who's as stubborn as a mule, it gets even harder. One particular night, Dinky seems to be pushing every one of her mother's buttons. But what will happen when Derpy finally decides enough is enough?

------

Happy Mother's Day, 'errybody! Go have a good time with the one woman in your life you owe more than anything.

Derpy likes to smile. She likes to draw pictures and eat muffins and fly, but most of all, she likes to smile. But sometimes some ponies don't like it when Derpy smiles. They say mean things. But that's ok, because sometimes all you need is a friend to tell you that you are perfect just the way you are.

I will always love you, Derpy.

This story is a sequel to Unnoticed

Do you know the mare? So many believe they do. A single glance is more than sufficient to teach them everything. And given that they now know everything, there's clearly no need to make any further inquiries. She is what they've decided her to be. No more, and it would take quite a bit of effort to create any degree of 'less'.

Do you know the pegasus? The mailmare, the single mother, the incompetent, the town's lowest-flying joke? Is that what you've told yourself?

Do you know her?
You don't.

This story is a sequel to The Life and Times of a Winning Pony

In the time since she became Derpy's daughter, Sparkler Doo has come to trust and love her mother more than words can express. Three years of tender, loving care and patience brought Sparkler out of her shell, showing a scared little filly that she was loved—and safe.

All it took was one fateful lapse in judgement to bring that crashing down. Now, with her faith in her mother shaken to its core, Sparkler has to take a step back and try to pick up the pieces.

Assuming she wants to.

This story takes place in tandem with the events of Chapter 19 of The Life and Times of a Winning Pony

Lightning Dust has seen better days. She’s on the verge of becoming a full-blown alcoholic, and her career is in shambles. She’s gotten so desperate that she even found a support group to help her work through her problems, but the first meeting turns out to be nothing like what she expected. This isn’t the gathering of former antagonists that she was looking for. In fact, some of these creatures shouldn’t even exist!

The innocent need protecting. That's why Hunter has come to Equestria! Well, he didn't actually have a choice. And would really rather be home. But still.
A fic starring a Navy SEAL and everyone's favorite cross-eyed blondie!

Discord lounges around Canterlot Castle without a thing to do. A reformed life has taken every surprise out of life. Until Celestia drops the bomb on him: He has a daughter. And what's more is that Celestia wants him to reunite with her with Twilight's help.

Rainbow Dash can handle busting the clouds or bringing in a weather front in her sleep, but there's more to being the captain of the Ponyville Weather Patrol than just the weather work.

With the roof of the Town Hall wrecked by lightning, Dash has to deal with not just the increasingly irate Mayor, but also her second-in-command Cloudkicker's impending nervous breakdown, and one highly apologetic, wall-eyed pegasus...

There is now a Spanish-language version of this story: Ingeniandoselas, translated by SPANIARD KIWI!
