He was always considered an outcast, a black sheep. When his peers find his secret, that he likes to watch My Little Pony, they taunt and ridicule him for it. But, after a freak accident, he is taken away to the land of Equestria. Has he truly found his place? Oh, and he's an ork. That might be an important little detail. Warhammer 40k crossover.

Zecora isn't from Equestria. That should be obvious. She hails from a distant land where everything from skin to speech is vastly different. There, she was a skilled shaman, one of the best in all of the land, and the uttering of her name could open more doors than the Abada himself.

So why, then, is she in Equestria? Why would such a powerful zebra leave her rich and vibrant homeland to live in an untamed forest? Why does she never speak of it to anyone? And why is she constantly speaking in rhyme?

Because of mistakes. Her mistakes, his mistakes, and the mistakes they made together.

Apple Bloom was starting to get suspicious. No pictures of her with her parents, no stories about it, no flashbacks where she appeared together with them. So she took matters into her own hooves, and had some tests done in secret, with Twilight's help, to determine her actual relation with her supposed family.

The results were... certainly unexpected. Interesting, to say the least. Absolutely devoid of any logical sense, more appropriately.

This story is a sequel to About Last Night

One month ago, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack got drunk and then got married.

Now Twilight's a princess, and the pair have to work on integrating that new aspect of it into their relationship. Add to that Spike's feelings on the matter and the fact that he's getting the attention of fillies his age, and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's relationship, maybe they're better off grabbing a few more drinks...

A border exists from a result of a uneasy truce between humans and pony kind in Equestria. Over 100 years have nearly completely cut of the cultures of the two. Dr. Moss, who studies humans from history and what he can glean from the border, is threatened to have his funding removed to teach his subject at Canterlot university because of the lack of interest. He resolves to make a dangerous crossing into the human land to see what has changed since the war.

Apple Bloom shared everything with Babs Seed. She was her confidant, her best friend, and closest cousin.

And, one night, one small talk changed everything.

A birthday present for the wonderful Babs, because she deserves it.

Apple Bloom and Spike have a secret book club. While they enjoy their books, sometimes the world of fiction doesn't always provide the escape they'd hope.

The Apple Family gathers together one Autumn evening for a very special family dinner at Sweet Apple Acres, as part of a special family reunion organized by Granny Smith.

What makes it so special, you ask? Well, each Apple gets to bring one guest along to count as honorary family. All that matters is that they have a special connection to the one inviting them.

Granny Smith chooses Grand Pear, her one time business rival now trying to make up for lost time. Big Macintosh brings his mare friend, Sugar Belle, for her first Apple Family get together. Applejack invites Rara to take a break from her music career and rekindle an old friendship. And Apple Bloom (taking the advice of her fellow Crusaders) agrees to let Diamond Tiara come so that the filly can get away from her troubles for a while.

But what will these honorary family members have to say? And what will the Apples chat about around the dinner table?

Applejack and Applebloom butt heads over the concept of 'fun vs. work', and after an accident, Applejack finds herself hopping from game to game to get things back to normal, learning a valuable lesson along the way.

Done for the friend off, based on Mew's lovely picture.

Before Twilight's arrival in ponyville, Diamond Tiara was just as mean as she is today. When a cruel joke gives Apple Bloom an undeserved punishment, an unexpected friend saves the day; but what does all that have to do with a silver spoon cutie mark?
