It's Christmas time at Canterlot High. Normally a time for fun and cheer. But no this year it seems. Someone is spreading people's worst and most embarrassing secrets.

Their name? Anon-A-Miss. And the one that seems to be the culprit? Sunset Shimmer. At least according to Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo.

Unfortunately for whoever is doing it, Canterlot High isn't falling for it. Not after the Battle of the Bands. And even the few that still haven't fully forgiven Sunset for her past bullying, believe she is innocent.

But then, who is the culprit?

(Story idea suggested by JBlaster on FanFiction.net, think of it as a Rarity version of "Too Many Pinkie Pies". The exact timeline is vague but it takes place prior to any events in Season 9.)

Rarity finds herself facing a huge back order that pushes Carousel Boutique to the limits and drives her to madness. And the deadline is lurking just around the corner.

Deciding that she needs extra hooves to do the job, the fashionista settles on the idea to use the mirror pool and clone herself. But it isn't long before the clones take on a mind of their own and go crazy.

Luckily, Rainbow Dash is up to the task of rounding up the Rarity clones. But what she doesn't know is that these extra Rarities have their own plan in mind for the speedster, one that she will surely dread.

Blending earth pony and human magic results in a curious mix. While it still makes people stronger and tougher than the norm, the more subtle magics focus less on the bounty of the earth and more on what can be made from it, including semiconductors. No one who understood magic was surprised to see a technological leap come from an earth-aspected person.

Precisely who and precisely how, that drew a bit more attention. Still, who better to tell computers what to do?

Set in the Oversaturated World.

It's been twenty-five years since the so-called "Final Battle for Equestria". The three-pronged head of the villain cabal that nearly took the kingdom down, Cozy Glow, has been awake the entire time, feeling every second trapped inside a statue in her dishonor. All she wants is revenge.

Flurry Heart was only a baby during the events that led to Cozy's demise. Ever since she had the ability to read, she was perplexed by the nonsensical actions and motivations of this little filly. Why did she do what she did? Why was she punished so? The curiosity was too much.

The dusty old books in the Crystal Empire tell her nothing. But an idea creeps into her mind. What better way to find out than to ask Cozy Glow directly? What's the worst that could happen?
