Once, she was a prisoner, beaten and tortured by grotesque horrors.

Once, she was an honored knight, decorated and respected as the strongest of warriors.

Once, she had touched godhood, revered as divine by the people.

And once, she was even a coward, running far from her responsibilities.

But what is she now? Lost, broken, alone, fallen? She is all of these things, but most importantly she's alive.

When Big Macintosh finds an injured pegasus mare in the Apple family's new barn, he and the rest of his family take it upon themselves to see her back to full health. Soon, they see that the mare carries with her an aura of mystery thicker than anypony could ever imagine, bringing with it both new adventure and enlightening experiences.

Relaxing after a rousing session of "Ogres & Oubliettes," Spike, Big Mac, Discord, and Shining Armor begin questioning certain of their life choices. Not all their life choices, of course: just certain of them...

The original minific version of this story placed 10th in the Writeoff Association's 80th contest, "Lie Me a River." This rewritten and expanded version was my entry in Aragon's "Comedy is Serious Business" contest with the prompt "We Learned Something Stupid," and the cover image comes from Otonus on DeviantArt.

It's hard when you want two mutually exclusive things. That's the dilemma Big Mac faces, because becoming Orchard Blossom would mean giving up being Big Macintosh. Still, he can't help but wish he could somehow have both.

A very small story, just because.

Spike and Starlight became friends the moment life put them in the same castle. As they grew closer over the years, they didn't think anything could break their friendship.

Unfortunately, all it took was one night to throw that belief into chaos. Now, they have to not only work together but battle their own doubts and insecurities to figure out a way to fix the broken bond between them.

Granny Smith has a gift for her grandponies, but how do you think they'll react to the surprise?

The Long Night.
It means different things to different ponies. In Canterlot, Celestia traditionally throws a huge party. Meanwhile, all the pegasi retreat to their sky cites, and all the other ponies from Manehatten to Ponyville hurry home before dark, and lock their windows and doors.
Every year before now, Apple Bloom has always been sent away to stay with her friends or family during the Long Night. But this year, despite Applejack's objections, Granny has decided she is old enough to stay on the farm.
Apple Bloom is excited to finally be allowed to spend the Long Night with her family. To see just what all the fuss is about. Just what really goes on that she was too young to be a part of before now?
This year she gets to find out. But before the Long Night ends, she will wish with all her heart, that she hadn't.

Princess Twilight's visit to the Apples for Hearth's Warming has gotten much more difficult as the sole ruler of Equestria.

This story is a sequel to Dear Sweetie Belle

For Ponyville's premier nurse, life is anything but slow - a full-time job, a budding relationship with Big Macintosh, and her own friends and family often leave Redheart's hooves full, and it's all she can do to catch a break.

It's a tough job, but somepony's gotta do it.

Big Macintosh...a simple pony managing a fairly simple family business. But when this order of business brought him to the dunes of Saddle Arabia, where the laws of the land are utterly foreign to him, he is tossed into something bigger than himself. As things gets from bad to worse, who could he turn to in this most chaotic of times to both save his hide and also Saddle Arabia?

What if I say it would be a certain DJ and a certain Nurse?
