In the new Appleoosa, after the farcical and laughingly-remembered War of the Pies, love is not JUST a thing between the same kind. The barrier was broken with the lawful matrimony of Little Strongheart to Braeburn Apple. But even with the official blockade down, change comes slowly in a dusty land far from cosmopolitan quickness and changing minds.

These are tales of the changed Appleoosa, showing how it is, in a land of new love and old ways.

Derpy and Dinky make an express mail run to Appleloosa and meet some friends along the way.

This was a fun little story to write. I hope you all have a happy Hearth's Warming and an awesome new year

This story is a sequel to Trial by Kinship

Every year, Princess Celestia hosts a special Inter-Species Conference to recognize the creatures who aren't strictly equine. And with the political climate of many nations seeing a massive paradigm shift, this year will be most important. Not only will new alliances with Yakyakistan and the Neko Shogunate be recognized, but the reemergence of Griffonstone has given rise to a new ambassador from the Griffon Kingdom in the form of the town's savior, Gilda. But no one is more nervous than the newly-appointed Dragon Lord, Ember. After all, never in the entire history of Equestria has a dragon ever attended the Inter-Species Conference. She has to make the best impression possible, even though diplomacy is not a dragon thing.

However, that turns out to be rather difficult when a dark dragon wielding mysterious magic crashes the party and outright defies Ember's rule. But how could this be? The Bloodstone Scepter should grant a dragon absolute authority over all dragonkind. The only dragons who are able to resist its power are the elusive Dragon Magi clan, and they aren't violent at all. Well, one is, but she's still learning the ropes. Luckily, she's attending the conference as well, and she's got Ember's back.

Not allowing this insult to stand, Ember vows to get to the bottom of this mystery along with a group of noble vigilantes from the Mild West. Meanwhile, Celestia, Gilda, and Little Strongheart band together to protect the posse from a pair of dragon poachers who haven't quite learned their lesson. This will either be the dawn of a new era for dragons, or the shortest reign of a Dragon Lord ever recorded. Hopefully, the hidden secrets of the Dragon Magi will prevent the latter.

Part III of the Ballad of Needles.

This story is a sequel to Sweet Pea

The royal family's story wasn't the only one with a happy ending. A spin-off story to my MLP fairy-tales starring Rumble's brother Thunderlane. Set during and before the events of Sweet Pea.

Things are not looking well for Appleloosa. Vicious bandits plague the town, stealing and killing whatever they please. The buffalo tribes are preparing for another assault, bent on flattening the town and every pony in it. And their only hope for rescue is a short-tempered thief, a baby dragon with sticky fingers, and a reliable cowgirl assigned to keep the two crooks honest.

Masky, Patsy, and Applejack are in a race against time to hunt down the bandits before Appleloosa is ripped apart. But everyone in the seemingly-cheery settlement has a few secrets of their own, and nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems in the wild west. The ex-convicts have their work cut out for them--that is, if they don't manage to sneak away first.

Even the town of Appleloosa celebrates Hearth's Warming, and Braeburn thinks it's the best time of the year. Naturally, he can't resist talking about it when he writes letters to Little Strongheart of the buffalo tribe.

Little Strongheart soon becomes quite curious about this holiday, and decides to experience it for herself. To that end, she leaves her tribe and journeys into Appleloosa to spend the holiday with Braeburn, much to his surprise.

Still, Braeburn is delighted to play the host and show Little Strongheart how wonderful the holiday of Hearth's Warming can be. Will Little Strongheart come to enjoy and cherish the holiday as much as Braeburn?

Blueblood is sent to Appleoosa for a month on a "vacation" (read: punishment) with Princess Cadance in tow to keep him in check. He encounters Braeburn, who's more energetic than a squirrel on a sugar high. And he's expected to work.

It's going to be a long month.

One chilly night in Autumn, several figures have gathered to celebrate the newest member joining the Society. All that is left is to meet the new inductee, and see if they can understand the other members.

An invitation only event, where a magic invitation appears from no where. Will the newest member agree to join?

Was my entry for The Album, but didn't make it.

Recently made Chieftain, Little, rather, Chief Strongheart makes her first visit to Canterlot for an important meeting.

An Equestria Girls universe story.

Applejack and Big Mac head to Appleloosa over the summer break to help their cousin Braeburn with the grand opening of the Apple family Dude Ranch. Applejack invites Rainbow Dash to join them and she eagerly accepts.

Rainbow Dash has been thinking of the future and wanting to explore her feelings for Big Mac. Two weeks together away from Mac's responsibilities at Sweet Apple Acres seems like the perfect chance for Rainbow Dash to profess her desire for the shy farmer. However, Big Mac becomes smitten with the liaison from the local Indian tribe, which means Rainbow Dash will have to compete for Big Mac's attention. It doesn't help that Braeburn takes a certain shine to Rainbow Dash. Why does teen romance have to be so complicated?
