After a wonderous flight around the Ponyville airspace leads Rainbow Dash to peruse the marketplace for anything that was just as awesome as she is, she comes across the brother of her best friend Fluttershy, Zephyr Breeze, a stallion she wanted as much to do with as being grounded from flying.

However, the multi-colored mare spotted that something was bothering the errant stallion, and as much as she dislikes him, he was Fluttershy's brother, and she didn't like to see him all... whatever that was plastered across his face, so she heads over to see what the problem was. Besides, the mare was sure that her very presence will knock the funk out of the stallion and bring him back to his usual insufferable self.

Little did she know that something was wrong with Zephyr, something very wrong.

Not content to believe her special talent is simply 'being rich', Diamond Tiara struggles to uncover her true calling so she can become a better friend to her classmates.

Eventually, Diamond has an epiphany: she can help not only her friends, but all of Equestria! Unfortunately, it means she needs to leave Ponyville on short notice.

This is the letter she leaves behind.

Sunset’s been holding a lot, stuff no one really sees. After a moment that breaks something, she disappears somewhere she thinks is safe. Twilight finds her there.

Anon E. Mous was doing well. He has a well-paying job working with Mayor Mare. He has a small little hole in the wall he called his house that he got with his own hard-earned bits. And...

...that's it. Friends? Little to speak of, but they were there. Somehow. In a world where friendship was magic, Anon experienced little of it, and worse, he's experienced how little he could earn of it. It had all started with a spark, and then nothing, nothing to the point of living in his house for the past few days under the guise of vacation.

Fortunately for him, somepony with a bit more gusto heard about his little hideaway and was more than interested in helping him get back on his feet. Not only that, she was there to make amends, if possible.

Unbeknownest to the two of them, life had an interesting way to show how interest worked both ways. Like a two-way mirror, no matter how different they were.

Warnings: RGRE themes, depression, and suicidal ideation. Sex tag added due to suggestive language.

Thank you all for your help!

Button mash's father died two years ago. He still hasn't recoverd. His grades have been slipping, he's lost interest in his games, and the already shy stallion has become extremely reserved.
His mother is too busy trying to support them to notice anything but his grades, and so she is missing the true danger.
There is only one pony who can save him now. Rated Teen for a foul mouthed Spoiled Rich in the fourth chapter.

The sensation has plagued her ever since she was a little girl.

It never goes away.

It hurts.

But most of all...

It burns.

This story is a sequel to The Survey

In 1981, MLP G1 was created, but it also marked the creation of another being. Neither living or human. Untraceable and responsible for countless deaths, and disappearances. The doctor.

Fourth installment of "the Survey" series. The series will be concluded in the fifth and final installment, coming whenever I decide how I want to end this story series XD

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Read the prequels first! You will be completely lost if you don't!

This story is a sequel to To start over

While dealing with her own insecurities and the fact that her friends seem to be excluding her. Sunset finds herself getting wrapped up in the mystery and chaos brought on by three new students. But can she handle it when her world starts falling apart right in front of her? and more importantly, can Twilight Sparkle actually help save Canterlot High again?

Twilight still isn't having a very good day. An army of changelings is attacking Canterlot, and the experimental spell that blew up in her face has stuck her in a time loop until she gets everything perfect and saves Equestria.

She's got a plan. She's also got a problem: Suddenly, she's not the only one whose day is repeating. And when you're caught between unstoppable force and immovable object, life has a tendency to get complicated.

This story is an authorized alternate-universe re-imagining of Eakin's Hard Reset, in which multiple loopers turn the time shenanigans up to 11. (Knowledge of Hard Reset is not required, but based on reader comments, will help in sorting out the early chapters.)

Cliff's Notes versions: RampantArcana has started a GitHub repository to codify the time-loop rules and the early-story timeline. Hawthornbunny has posted a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of all the loops, including the ones we don't see, with a lot of critical analysis. Those links contain spoilers (of currently posted chapters). If you're confused, either one of those fan projects is a great starting point, and story comments have a lot of insightful discussion as well.

Publication schedule: 2014 kicked my plot and the story went on hiatus. But having finished my first complete novel in 2024, I want to return to this in 2025 after finishing some other editing commitments.

He’d left. Abandoned her. Betrayed her.

After everything they went through together, he threw her away like nothing, and the worst part is, Oleander shouldn’t even have been surprised.

Arizona had voiced her concern and Tianhuo adamantly despised concept of working with him, but Oleander never listened, often staying on his side during arguments that really should have indicated that something was off with him, but that’s probably what he was counting on. Slowly manipulating her and turning her against the others so that they couldn’t stop him when he showed his true colours, and now...

She had nothing to lose.

So why did the others care so much about keeping her around?
