Spike after moving away from his childhood home, comes back six years later and enrolls at Crystal Prep Academy only to discover his six female childhood friends are already students there. It would be a joy for Spike if it weren't for the fact his six friends had changed while he was away. Can he help the six remember the way they used to be before he left or are they too far gone to ever be who they once were?

Spike x Crystal Prep ShadowBolts. May be additional ones down the line.

An homage to stories like The Substitute Demon, ALL GLORY TO THE OVERGOAT!!!, and 1000 Virgin Mares, 1 Frickin' Badass Dark Overdude, Infinite Facehoofing

One thousand years ago, the Princesses Celestia and Luna were blindsided by the return of the Masters of Equus. The cult of power-mad alicorns, thought to have been banished from Equestria forever, appeared in the middle of the Princesses' battle for supremacy, and caged them away. The rest of Equestria quickly fell to their might. Even the fearsome Discord was forced to his knees before them. All of Equestria was enslaved, and an era of misery began.

Now, one thousand years later, a lone unicorn mare has learned of a creature that might be able to overthrow the Masters. A creature immune to magic, overwhelming in size and strength, sealed away for centuries uncounted. A creature of ultimate evil: the Smooze.

Unfortunately for Starlight Glimmer, in trying to ensure the creature's obedience, she modified the summoning ritual a bit too far.

Because of her meddling, the soul of a recently-deceased human is pulled from Limbo, and given life, but not exactly a body. Now he has to help her save the world, or face obliteration.

Not much of a choice, is it?

Inspired by Pen Mightier and Bucking Nonsense, the legends who – to my knowledge – popularized the "human in villain's body becomes Equestria's savior" genre. May your inkwells never run dry.

Music was always a part of Coloratura's life, a deep passion permeating her very identity and driving everything she does. For years it was silenced, buried under great wealth and even greater fame by a meaningless character she was forced to play.

For the first time in ages, Coloratura hears that passion once more.

Countess Coloratura. Pop star, philanthropist, super-star-sweetheart. Kids of all ages across the world love her, and teens want to be her. Adults? Well, they have mixed feelings at the best of times. She’s kind, and always forthcoming with her life. Except for one question…

Trixie Lulamoon. Top-billing movie and stage star, illusionist, triple-threat-diva. Adults love her candor and presence, and teens idolize her. Kids? Well, she’s nice when she’s doing tricks at least. She’s candid with everything about her, offering nothing to be used against her. Expect for one interview question…

“So are you dating anyone?”

Anthro ponies getting frisky and saucy are a guarantee from here on. Maybe far more that'll make me have to change the rating, but we'll see how things kick off.

Anon E. Mouse, after stepping on the wrong bus is catapulted into a world of magic and mystery is in for the ride of his life. Having received the power of a legendary witch who disappeared, he must prove himself to an ancient order of witches and wizards while also trying to defeat an even more ancient evil.

This story is a sequel to Aria's Aria

After one of them listens to a new album and looks at its cover, the Rainbooms are shocked to see that the singer may be one of the Dazzlings. Meanwhile Aria Blaze is a relatively new rising star, complete with a rivalry of sorts.

Takes place between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games.
(Note: Despite the Mane 6 Humane 7 tag, there is no Twilight Sparkle in this story. I would've gone with a Humane 5 tag if we had one. There's not enough space to tag them individually/tagging them individually would overstate their role.)

Once, she was the Countess, the most famous lounge singer in Manehattan. Once, she spent her nights singing in the classiest bars and lounges, and her mornings dragging herself through hangovers and depression.

But that's all in her past. Now, she is Rara, tenant and helping hoof on Sweet Apple Acres, and the head of entertainment at the Apple Pie In Your Eye. Now, she has Applejack and the Apple Family to lean on for support. And now, she has a community and a family.

This is the life of Rara in Ponyville.

Part of the Noireverse, this story is intended to explore more of Coloratura's character within the series and universe. Rara is one of my favorite side characters in the Ponyville Noire stories, and there was a lot to her that unfortunately just wouldn't fit within the Ponyville Noire stories. I wrote this side story to give her and Applejack the spotlight for a while, as well as give some of the Noireverse's other side characters some more development.

I hope you enjoy!
