Some months have passed since the destruction of the Memory Stone. Wallflower Blush has entered a new school year, her last at CHS, and so far, things have been looking up. Talking to people is getting easier, and she even has a few friends to her name.

But dealing with social repercussions is still a thing that Wallflower has struggled with all her life. Making a few connections is all well and good, but what about deeper connections? What about one-on-one bonding? What about dating? With the shield of the Memory Stone gone, how can Wallflower find a safe way to experience consequences?

Luckily, her first date with Moondancer is certain to give her some much-needed education on the subject. Even if it takes a few more first dates than normal.

An entry for both May Pairings 2024 (other entries here) and Science Fiction Contest III (other entries here). Pre-read by Dewdrops on the Grass and The Sleepless Beholder. Sex tag applied for crude references only.

Once upon a time, Princess Celestia meant the world to her young protégée, Sunset Shimmer. In many ways, she was the world to the unicorn filly.

Now, the relationship between mentor and student has become deeply strained. Some weeks ago, the two suffered a major spat. As the rift between them grows and emotions churn inside Sunset, she begins to wonder exactly who she is in the eyes of the age-old alicorn who controls the sun.

And as Celestia prepares to leave for a diplomatic errand, she finds herself confronted by her volatile pupil -- and, put on the spot, must find a way to bridge the gap before it's too late.

Ignores the depiction of events in the comic The Fall of Sunset Shimmer. While the story works as a standalone prequel to canon G4 animated media, it is also canon with my ongoing longform story Together from Canterlot to Canterlot, as well as, separately, my alternate universe setting established by What My Destiny is Telling Me. (Despite the name, it is not directly related to my story Late-Night Conversations.)

Cover art by daOtterGuy, who pre-read the story along with The Sleepless Beholder. Special thanks to TCC56 (First Hoof Account) and Sledge115 (Sogno di Volare) for inspiring me to dabble in this period of Sunset's life.

The beginning of the 18th century seems bright for the Swedish Empire, led by Charles XII. His foes defeated just a few years prior and an unstable peace looms. Parts of Norway, Latvia and Estonia as well as Pomerania now belongs to a new, powerful Sweden in the north.

However, the future is cast into uncertainty as great bouts of lightning fills the skies over Stockholm. Gods will or not, the Swedish Empire disappeared forever. This is the story of what happened when the great and mighty Empire of Sweden appeared in the world of Equestria.

AC: After many sleepless nights, I've finally decided to do this fic. This fic was inspired by "Liberté, égalité, fraternité." If you haven't read it, I strongly suggest that you do. It's a very good fic!
Also, there might be some historical inaccuracies, but I'm trying to make it as historically as possible. Some characters are created by me, but many of the ships, cities, armies and characters are historical.

Please, excuse any spelling mistakes or strange grammar. English is not my first language, but I'm trying my best to make it presentable. I'm Swedish, as you probably could guess from this fic ;P

This story is a sequel to My Little Mages: The Revenge of Nightmare Moon

Many are the slices of life stories of Twilight, her friends and their families. Presented here are three, each of one of the Cutie Mage Crusaders (CMC) and their experiences with Princess Luna as the Princess of Dreams helped each.

A My Little Mages retelling of Sleepless in Ponyville, For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils and Bloom and Gloom, collectively The CMC Dream Trilogy and more of a prequel to My Little Mages: The Phantasm of Philanthropy.

Timberwolves. Among the most fearsome creatures to lurk in the depths of the Everfree, these hulking, wooden monstrosities have sharp senses that make them deeply efficient at hunting and tracking ponies and other sentient beings that wander into the forest—and making sure they don't ever leave. Anypony with a lick of common sense knows they're not something to be trifled with, and any (generally ill-advised) venture into the Everfree must be done in groups and/or with extreme caution.

The new species of hairless ape that keeps falling from dimensional portals in the sky into the depths of the forest, however, seems to be entirely lacking in said common sense.

Not to be taken especially seriously. (Not that me saying so is seemingly stopping anyone.) Features implied violence, but no gore.

Pre-read by Dewdrops on the Grass and The Sleepless Beholder. Inspired by discord conversations with Estee about the common "Mandatory Timberwolf Encounter" trope in Human in Equestria stories.

Suicide / Self-Harm: Wallflower tries to throw herself off of a cliff

info

a submission to the May Pairings Contest 2022.

reviewed by Stinium_Ruide.

this strange story idea began life as an entry to Nailah's Shipping Contest that did not get finished in time. the randomly generated pairing i was given was Wallflower Blush x Princess Skystar, and the original version of the contest had a set of prompts that included the pair waking up hoofcuffed to each other in the middle of nowhere.

the pony Wallflower Blush in this story was inspired by Sledge115's Wallflower of Canterlot

thank you to Rego, Dewdrops on the Grass, Sledge115, and The Sleepless Beholder for prereading!

Years ago, Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria helped show a group of humans the magic of friendship, and they've never forgotten how much it meant to them. Since then, Twilight has continued to return to visit her friends in their world, and even as her coronation looms large on the horizon, they'd been confident things would work out.

But when a serious malfunction renders the device keeping the portal open useless and seemingly irreparable, Princess Twilight is left struggling to come up with a solution, or even answers. As the possibility that they might never see their old friend in person again grows, the Rainbooms decide to send a series of letters to the Princess, expressing their personal gratitude for the influence she's had in their lives, well-wishes for her rule in Equestria and cautious optimism for the future.

Note this story only considers animated media as canon, and deviates from the depiction of events seen in literary or comic media like The Fall of Sunset Shimmer and Twilight's Sparkly Sleepover Surprise.

This story is a sequel to Carnivorous Trains

Cadence is stressed out, she has an alicorn baby to raise. She needs powerful sitters that don't quit on her. It would also be nice if Flurry stopped burning down her castle. Just when she thought the situation couldn't get any worse, she is called upon to solve a problem of love. Discord and Sombra's love problem. They are severely lacking love. So what does this stressed mother do? She puts Discord and Sombra in charge of her child. Join her as she desperately attempts to hit all her metaphorical birds with just one stone.

Reading the prequel is not necessary it's for the bit. This contains no actual sex. It's only for the comedy. Thank you Kody. Thanks for helping me iron out my thoughts. I also want to thank The Sleepless Beholder not only for the wonderful fan art, but for all their support, and for motivating me to keep writing. And thank you to DovakhiinMaster who is editing all my chapters, starting with the first one. You're a madman, thank you.

The Princess Summit is a commemoration to all of the fifty cities of Equestria that work together and acknowledge each other's unique gifts. The Princess of Friendship happened to promise the Canterlot diarchs that she could handle all of the extra planning details by herself. However, doing so has left her in a state worse than a Twitter-mite on empty.

Dutifully, the Crystal Princess asks her empire's bold hero to take command and make sure Twilight Sparkle gets proper rest. Without hesitation, said hero accepts. But problems arise that only a princess can deal with, and three out of four are occupied with vicious schedules at the corners of Canterlot City. What is the bold and honorable hero to do?

Well, what he shouldn't do is drag his charge around like a puppet and attempt to handle everything by himself.

Wait, Spike? What are you doing? Spike? Spike!

After many a sleepless night, Nightshade begins to realize that there may be something more... special about her than she thinks. One of her only friends, Lightning Rod, seems to be very preoccupied in his own interests as well, until he begins to notice, too.

Criticism is welcome. I'd like to know why you liked/disliked it.

Rebooted yet again. Third time's the charm, I guess.

A four-way collaboration story between Me, Dreadnought, Forestshadows, and T A Ship.

(Not to be confused with an older story I posted, Wielder of the Orb: Of Magic and Ponies. It sucks. don't read it.)
