Loquaciously prolix Autumn Blaze hires terse Bulk Biceps as a parsimonious expert who can efficiently orient the isolated kirin on Equestria's history.

It was forbidden.^{(From the contest rules related to word count: "...please don't write an entire encyclopedia on the comprehensive history of Equestria, featuring Autumn Blaze and Bulk Biceps.")} Yet, it must be told.

Era: Season 8. (See an index of my stories, sorted by My Little Pony Season).

There are many things that keep Bulk Biceps awake at night. Here are ten of those things.

My entry for the One Thousand Words contest.

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle are inspired to become salesponies after reading one of Rarity's Entrepreneurship Digest magazines. They agree to sell chocolate bars, and have very little luck getting anypony to buy one. Inspired by the SpongeBob episode "Chocolate With Nuts," which is why it is listed as "crossover." This is my first fic, and I thought it would be a good idea to make my first post a reference to the SpongeBob episode which inspired my username and avatar. Hope you enjoy!

Ponyville is growing every day and smart business ponies are taking advantage. Aloe and Lotus Blossom can see their workload growing and know they need another set of hooves to come in and help out, and, if they can bring some new skills and services to their Spa, all the better. Enter, Bulk Biceps, a hard-working fitness enthusiast with a penchant for deep muscle massage.

Rainbow Dash has been noticing that Thunderlane has been acting odd lately.
So when he vanishes, she goes to investigate.

When it turns out that Cloudchaser has noticed Bulk has been acting similarly, the two attempt to figure out what their boyfriends are up to.

and then they wish they didn't.

A snapshot of the relationship between Featherweight and his father.

Rainbow Dash is the cadet commander of her own squad, but Snowflake hasn't been advancing like the rest of her squad has. He's lagging behind and dragging the entire team down, yet Rainbow finds herself unable to stomach the thought of turning him away and sending him home. How can she make her squad the best it can be without crushing a good friend's ambitions and dreams?

This story is a sequel to Derpy Intentionally A Portal Gun

Or, Derpy Accidentally a Presidential Campaign

Due to a rather strange clause in electoral process added by Thomas Jefferson, ponies turn out to actually be a large voting bloc in the American Presidential primary.

Upon discovering Equestria, the current candidates begin campaigning in Equestria.

It doesn't go as well as you'd expect.

This is the worst thing I have ever read
--Theodore Roosevelt

Lotsa ponies think I'm strange or mean 'cause I'm real big and yell lots, but I just wanna show them I'm strong enough now...

A small, melancholy, one chapter story I did to provide some possible background for Bulk Biceps.

As she made her way to Ponyville, Trixie discovers that she is somewhat thinner and weaker in stature that she would like. She also becomes a bit unsure of having another show in Ponyville, given previous events.

She goes and finds the one pony in town who specializes in muscle building.

And who more fitting to the job than Bulk Biceps himself?
