Inkie Pie has been in a bad relationship for a while.

Perhaps a certain pink mare can give her the advice she needs to hear.

Written for a friend going through a hard time right now.

Blinkadette Rosalyn Pie's 20th birthday is approaching, and she knows exactly what that means: her two siblings will be coming home. Her older sister is a world-famous cellist and composer, and she's bringing her very special somepony to meet the family for the first time. Her younger sister has saved Equestria from certain doom no less than three times. Blinkie... manages rock farming finances (accounts payable). With so many things, business and private, stacking up on her plate at once, her only wish is to make it through this birthday in one piece.

Maud wants a pet, so she goes on an extravagant, extraordinary, breath-taking journey to acquire the new cornerstone of her life. Will she succeed in finding a new friend? Or shale it end in misery.

Dramatic Reading by DRWolf001

Sugarcoat has a crush on Pinkie Pie, but she needs a little...encouragement from Twilight to actually ask her out. Can someone who doesn't even understand the concept of "white lie" or "tactful wording" win over the element of laughter, her family, and their friends who seem a little more involved in her romantic life than they really should be?

The Iron Pony competition. A festival. Hard cider.

For Marble Pie, all of them are foreign, as strange as towns with houses built into trees or shaped like giant candy.

When her parents finally decided to go visit her eldest sister, she wasn't prepared for the fesitivities going on in Ponyville. And when she met her cousin Applejack? Well... she wasn't prepared for the feelings that surfaced either.

Many thanks to Karrakaz for prereading and idea storming.

This story is a sequel to The Iron Horse: Everything's Better With Robots!

Introducing your family to your girlfriend can be tough. Not telling your family that your girlfriend is a ROBOT is not going to make it any easier...

After over a year together, Maud Pie is finally introducing Turing Test, her robot girlfriend, to her parents. The real problem: her traditionalist parents have the final say on her partner, and now she and Turing only have until Hearth's Warming Day to win the Pie family's approval. If they fail, then the only Hearth's Warming gift they'll be receiving is heartbreak.

Maud did not love Rainbow Dash.

Maud did not understand love.

Maud understood war. Maud understood battle. Maud understood loss.

Those are the things Maud understood.

[Maud/RD - Season 5 finale AU]

Life has a weird way of messing with you. You might get screwed here or there, out a job, maybe a stab in the back, nothing you can't get back from. Then there are those times. The times you can't get back from within your wildest dreams. And the universe couldn't cut me a break and make the impossibility simple. Nope, didn't get to stay human, didn't get the luxury of being transmorgified into a pony, griffon, or other, I didn't even end up as an already established pony within the candyland of Equestria!

Nope, for me, I wake up not as Pinkie Pie, but instead inside the mind of Pinkie Pie. Back on the rock farm when she was a filly. My name ain't that important anymore, but Pinkie's taken to calling me Mena. And it's gonna be a long, windy, freaky road ahead, ain't it?

Holy cow, featured on day/night one! Thank you muchly so everybody!

9/19/2023: Overall grammar overhaul for existing chapters.

Rainbow has always said that she'd go anywhere with Applejack. This promise has led her to the Pies' rock farm as Applejack and the rest of the family go to support Macintosh during the Choosing Stone Ceremony.

But of course, there's more than just watching going on. On the rock farm, there's time to just... talk.

More of an experiment in dialogue-heavy chapters than anything else.
Written for AppleDash Contest 4 (family, a place outside of Ponyville).

As Hearth's Warming winds down, Limestone feels insulted when Apple Bloom compares her to Applejack. But Apple Bloom may not be that far off the mark.
