This is Bloodvein. He's a pegasus. His family are full-blooded bat ponies.

He shares the same fangs and blood as his family, but is completely different from the rest of his colony.

Does he enjoy life in his colony? Only he knows.

Angel Bunny forces Fluttershy to go out on Nightmare Night when she would much rather stay at home, but a chance encounter with a chivalrous Bat Pony soon brings a blush to her cheeks.
Even Zephyr Breeze inadvertently helps bring the couple together and somepony gets a new hairdo!

There's social unrest in Lunar Equestria. Nothing extreme, just a dispute between a company and its employees over pay and conditions. Only of note as it disrupts some important part of the supply chain. Some would take a side, some need to resolve it above all, most would let it sort itself out.

Yet Nightmare Moon wants it to end. Immediately.

Takes place in my New Lunar Millennium alternate universe. Some original characters from the universe are featured, but extensive knowledge is not required to read. More information can be found here.

Parents tell their foals that they can be anything that they want.
For me, however, it's a bit more literal.
At least it would be if my parents had said that.
Or if I knew them at all!
So what do you do when you can become anypony?
You become a spy, of course.

BEWARE: SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS

The griffin kingdom has taken equestria and imprisoned Celestia and the main six. They failed to capture Luna and she fled to the north. She passes out from blood loss and wakes up somewhere strange.

Hearts and Hooves Day is a fun holiday for most. Candy, heartfelt gifts, what's there for a pony not to love?

However, when a young filly named Cinnamon Bun doesn't get so much as a card from anypony in her class, it's up to Ebony Stars, her batpony friend, to cheer her up.

But, as the years go by for the two, what started off as an anonymous love letter he sent to her in the guise of a secret admirer may develop into something much deeper.

Anglequestria Magazine (we recently shortened the name from Anglers of Equestria) is home to all of your monthly fishing needs. From the latest developments in rod manufacturing, to our famous catalogs of the aquatic species across the different bodies of water of Equestria, we try to cover all the essentials for everyone from the causal fisherstallion to the most experienced sailor.

Now we've added a new section compiling some of what we deem to be the best fishing tales our subscribers have sent in to us.

While most letters came from pegasi, there was a smaller, but not irrelevant, number of earth ponies and unicorns who wrote in. However, one of the stories stood out from the rest. There just might be one thestral who enjoys castin' out the old rod and reel more than anypony else.

Advice on what year to use for present-day Equestria came from Lynser.

Her best and only magic teacher, Sunburst, abandoned her when he got his cutie mark and she didn't. Her butler and guardian, Proper Step refused to teach her magic, saying it wasn't "lady-like." Magic is in her blood, so she has no choice but to run away. She learns to fight with hoof and magic, first to save her life when she’s brutally attacked, but later because she is very good at it. She doesn't realize she's being honed to become somepony's sharp tool.

This is Starlight Glimmer’s pre-redemption The Gangs of New York and Anakin Skywalker Star Wars I, The Phantom Menace novel-length origin story.

About the warning tags: [Sex] Off screen, rare, unmistakable; [Violence] Street gangs, mafia bosses, prizefighting, becoming a bodyguard (naturally)—blood, occasionally. Please don’t be shocked and give the story a thumbs down because bad things happen to Starlight at a level that can’t be shown in show. Adversity always makes her stronger.

The sequel to this story is The Enforcer and Her Blackmailers. This is an Enforcerverse novel, and you can view that link if you want huge amounts of context.

A big shout-out to my pre-readers: Javarod and DoContra
