As far as Flim and Flam were concerned, they'd snatched some patsy with a friendly face off of the side of the road. For Silver Shill, the story is rather more complicated.

A heavily modified form of an entry in the March 2015 Writeoff Competition. Prompt: "The Best Medicine"

Carrot Top enters a farming competition in order to try to win the prize money, which she needs to complete a major business contract. Sadly, Sweet Apple Acres has always been the only Ponyville entrant, and Applejack is furious that Carrot Top is trying to compete against her. Carrot Top thus has to deal with hostility from the largest farm in the region, as well as the costs of competing, which quickly promise to bankrupt her if she doesn't win. When a couple of con-artist unicorns begin to interfere in the match, it becomes even harder for the poor, beleaguered carrot farmer. Can Carrot Top and her friends save the farm, fend off the con-artists, and avoid going to war with the Apple Trust? Lunaverse story.

The Flim-Flam Brothers fully anticipated a couple of failures every now and then. It's not like it mattered. After all, there was still tons of opportunity to go around, right?

Not exactly. The little song-and-dance cider business never really panned out. After a nasty argument stemming from a particularly embarrassing failure, the two brothers decided it was best to split up and take their ideas elsewhere.

Well, one brother has hit the jackpot, while the other hasn't been so lucky. And now, after a long period of silence, the brothers find themselves meeting face-to-face once again. Only this time, they're not strictly talking business.

It's been twelve years since Applejack's ascent to her current status as the Earth Goddess, Princess Mara of Equestria. In that time, she's gotten quite used to her duties, be they ceremonial, executive, or judicial in nature. But when she's called upon to rule on a particularly contentious lawsuit involving some of the most obnoxious ponies from her past, the results may end up altering the very nature of Equestrian law.

This story is a spin-off of Blue Print's Appleverse, however, it's not necessary to read his stories first (though I do recommend them for a more thorough explanation of the backstory).

Life as a struggling showmare is hard, and Trixie has felt the worst of it. Just as things seem they couldn't get worse, an unfortunate accident occurs that threatens to send her over the edge. Or perhaps this unfortunate accident is really a blessing in disguise.

A short, one-shot, slice of life story of the famous twin "sales ponies," Flim and Flam.

In an alternative universe on their way to Filliedelphia, one of the twin brothers comes out to the other as gay. How would the other react to this revelation?

Cozy Glow is missing. Detective Luna is on the case.

Inspired by the Cozy Glow contest, but doesn't adhere to their rules so 😝. Here it is anyway.

Heyyyyyyy! Peaked at number one in the feature box! Thanks, everypony!

Flim and Flam show up at Twilight’s castle and try to sell her a new vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately for them, the busy mare has no patience for their aggressive marketing tactics.
