Midnight Storm has had a hard life. She's wandered from city to city for the past three years, and they've all eventually run her out after they've found out what she is. Against her better judgement, she's placed her last hopes on the small town of Ponyville.

The residents here are nice enough, but when they find out what she really is, will they accept her, or drive her out like all the others? And when Celestia finds out about her, what plans does the Princess of the Sun have in store for the mare?

Story now included in The Goodfic Bin

Derpy and Dinky celebrate their first Hearth's Warming in Ponyville, and although Derpy had intended to spend it alone with her daughter, her friends had other ideas and invite the two of them for an earth pony Hearth's Warming dinner.

A Pony Planet story.

Berry Punch isn't an alcoholic.

But she could be.

Hallo! Sorry I'm late. But then, it seems... so are you, Rainbow Dash.

And so the late Rainbow Dash comes face to face with Death himself! And he's... surprisingly cordial, actually.

But when Rainbow ends up in his debt, there's only one way to get back to the life she knew: take up the role of the Grim Reaper herself while Death takes a little holiday. Will Dashie be able to stay quick among the dead? Will she be the most awesome reaper ever... or will Death have to cut his vacation - and Rainbow's life - tragically short?

Berry Punch is an alcoholic. No question about it. The magenta mare loves her alcohol and can almost always be found at the bar. But when an old friend gets a job at her favorite dive, her feelings are amplified more and more with each drink. Will her old friend remember her? Or has Raindrop's memory been just as clouded by the drink as Berry Punch's?

Teen for alcohol, some suggestive themes. Like a smokin' hot kiss.

When you fear the cure worse than the affliction, how can you ever hope to recover? For Berry Punch, there's never been an easy answer.

And when she is forced to confront consequences worse than any she could have imagined, it's just going to get harder.

With only her newfound desperation to drive her forwards, Berry Punch throws herself into what might truly be her last living attempt at recovery.

This story is a sequel to Who Spiked the Punch?

Spike is always the one to get himself in trouble. Yet this time Twilight might not be enough to handle the situation.

Special thanks to ChappedPenguinLips for editing.

Berry Punch has taken to the hobby of pulling out the old lawn chair and watching Ponyville explode. It seemed a little too common at this point to be honest. How many times could a town explode before it got old?

Everything was going the way it usually did. Her on a lawn chair, bottle of wine in hoof, and a catastrophic event playing out in front of her that would no doubt be written in the history books. A usual afternoon in Ponyville.

Then a certain dragonequus shows up, drained of his magic, down on his luck, and in need of some mortal wisdom.

The fate of Equestria rests in her hooves, and Berry Punch doesn't even know it.

-Inspired by that one lawn chair meme.

Seeing a single mother in Equestria, especially in a smaller town like Ponyville, isn't all that rare. After all, there are nearly ten mares to every stallion, so it's bound to happen to keep the population level. That being said, a single drunk mother is a good deal less common. However, Berry Punch (with a little help from her sister) is a perfectly fine mother. It just begs the question... where's Pinchy's dad?

Rated [Teen] for alcohol use (I do not condone excessive consumption of alcohol)

Some ponies are ashamed of their alcohol habit, but Berry Punch flaunts hers with pride. A renowned connoisseur of the devil's brew, she finds herself with a lot of extra bottles around. With the (accidental) help of her friend Cinnamon Swirl, she finds a better use for all that glass while tapping into her artistic side.
