Fleur de Lis and Fancy Pants didn't always have the glamorous magazine headline life that everypony now knows them as. Every famous star must begin somewhere, and a few years back, the two of them were nothing but amateur actors.

The debates were everywhere - was their love manufactured by the cameras or geniune in their true hearts?

Now that in itself is a story...

Basically my take on how Fleur and Fancy became a couple. I really like this ship, but they don't get enough love, so yeah.
Take note that this is just experimentation more or less.

Fleur-de-Lis is, perhaps, most well known for her brief career as a model on Equestria's fashion scene, but there are surprising depths to this elegant unicorn that most never see. This is a tale of a fateful evening in Canterlot, and a glimpse into the personality and character of a pony for whom good looks and grace are just the tip of the iceberg.

Fleur is Twist's Prench aunt, and she's coming to Ponyville to visit for the day.

Twist seems a little down, and Fleur talks to her about two subjects she holds near and dear to her heart; love and beauty.

Exists in the same continuity as Lilies and Two Peppermint Thticks Make A Heart, but they are not required reading. Reading them is, of course, encouraged.

Beauty can be a blessing. It can also be a curse.

Fleur-de-lis seems to have the easiest life anypony could wish for. But when she is criticized of being shallow, she shows that that is not as true as others believe, and that riches and a pretty face can become more of a burden than a pleasure at times.

This story is a sequel to Beautiful: Rainbow Dash

A bad day and a rainy night. It’s enough to drive a mare to drink. Winding up in a dark bar on the streets of Canterlot, Fleur de Lis finds herself meeting up with a mare who is young, independent, and totally unbound by societal expectations. Everything Fleur thinks she’s lost. What common ground could they possibly find?

On this particular night, far more than she might realize.

A collaborative effort between myself and Nom_deCheval, told from two perspectives.

Twilight's Library Approved

When Thorax saw the destruction and pain his species was causing in Canterlot, he couldn't help but feel guilty. But, some new, unknown emotion welled up inside him, one he didn't want to control.

Besides, what made you think he just stood idly aside?

Sly Cooper. Greatest thief in the world. None can match him for his speed, clever mind, and wit. However when a job goes wrong he finds himself in a world completely different to his own. However he didn't come over alone.

This is a crossover with Sly Cooper and this takes place after the third game. I haven't played the fourth game yet so this is technically out of canon for both worlds. You will not have needed to play the games to understand what's happening with the characters of Sly Cooper in their world or in Equestria. I will explain things as the story progresses.

In the back room of a hole-in-the-wall shop in Canterlot, there rests the incomplete final work of a master craftsman. All that remains is the final piece; and the gift to his daughter will be done. Now she runs the shop, waiting for the day some special pony walks in and lays that piece at her hooves.

Lucky for her, today is that day.

"A simple Valentine's Day lesbian horse story." - BubbleBoom

Certain aspects of the palace have been stable for a long time, and the longer that time has gone on, the harder they are to shift -- no matter how badly Luna might desire it. But one tapestry is undeniably ugly. It's been ugly for more than a thousand years. And so she's going to do what should have been done centuries ago and simply kick it out.

Inanimate objects have a way of returning to the scene of the crime.
