Apple Bloom realizes she’s a fillyfooler, but now the pressure is on to keep it a secret. Her family has always been conservative, and Equestria only recently learned to accept ponies like her. Can she handle it? Will the truth come out? Will she?

Takes place during Season 4-ish

"And we became the stories, we became the places,/We were the lights, the deserts, the faraway worlds,/We were you before you even existed." -M83, ‘Intro’

Everypony has a secret world inside of them. All of them - no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them, they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds....not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, even. And Rarity is about to see them first hoof.

Written for the Iron Author contest at Everfree Northwest 2014 in under two hours. It earned an honorable mention.

Rarity, Jedi Knight of the Order of Tython, has been a model Jedi her whole life. Even though training with her younger sister, Sweetie Belle, has not made much progress, she is patient and respectful of the Code of the Jedi. Applejack is still a Padawan, despite her many years at the Academy, due to her headstrong and stubborn nature. The arrival of Apple Bloom on Tython may be the one thing she needs to turn her life around as a Jedi. Both ponies' lives are flipped upside down, however, when Flesh Raiders ambush Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and take them to be indoctrinated into The New Order, a group of radical fallen Jedi that have learned how to control the Flesh Raiders and plan to destroy the Jedi Order.

Now, with this crisis on their hooves, Applejack and Rarity are forced to work together to bring balance to the Force. Will Applejack overcome her headstrong nature, or will her passions override her judgment? Can Rarity maintain her honorable reputation in the face of her sister's capture, or will this new threat cause her to stumble? And most importantly, will the two be able to survive one another, or will they butt heads while the world falls apart around them?

Rarity loves making dresses, and especially wedding dresses.
But the fine line between inspiration and jealously can be so hard to walk – and hardest of all is when they begin bleeding together.

"We were so used to them wreaking havoc and walking away from the most ridiculous wreckages that it was easy to forget they weren't invincible. Fate was a cruel mistress to take one of them from us at such a young age...

I was fortunate, but somepony close to me was not. It was hard for me to imagine the loss she felt. It was so difficult. I wish there was more I could have done to comfort her, but my attention was focused elsewhere. Sweetie Belle lost one of her closest friends and she needed me to guide her through the grief and chase away the occasional nightmare. I devoted so much of my time to her that I dared not acknowledge the plague of strange happenings that fell upon Ponyville soon after the accident.

I was such a foolish mare..."

Sweetie Derelle, the alternate reality Sweetie Belle, has arrived in Equestria to save everyone. That includes driving a bus full of orphans at high speed through Canterlot to make sure it doesn't explode. Also into Canterlot Castle. Specifically Celestia's Bedroom. Along the way, the hero everyone deserves known as Donut Joe will help the transdimensional trashcan-mouthed monstrosity complete her mission.

But can the city, and Rarity, learn to love this goggly-eyed savior from another dimension?

No. Probably not.

Sweetie is assigned to do a research paper on the topic of pony reproduction. Uncomfortable with explaining the 'ins and outs' of the process, Rarity asks Twilight for help.

This story is a sequel to Unfamiliar Patterns

It's only been a couple weeks since Rarity found the courage to come out of the stable, and confess to her friends that she was currently in a loving relationship with Zecora. Fortunately, despite how surprising such a paring may have been, all of the Elements (and even Spike, shockingly enough) were all supportive of the fashionista and apothecary being together. However, now the unicorn has to face an even larger obstacle which has her fur standing on end:

Coming out to her family.

Sure, Zecora might not be feared by the citizens of Ponyville anymore. And Rarity highly doubted that her parents or sister would be too upset about Rarity having a girlfriend. But at the same time, the Element of Generosity could only hope that things would go smoothly when she invites them over for dinner...

When Sweetie Belle comes to Rarity because of a monster in her bed, Rarity assures her that it's just her imagination, but now Rarity must deal with her own imaginary monsters, in her dreams.

This is my first ever FNAF cross over. I know I didn't go with the lore, but this was an idea that I got at work that I absolutely had to do. Good grief, I stayed up till 4 am doing this. This is for you guys, hope you like.

Applebloom and Diamond Tiara have never been friends. Diamond Tiara was redeemed, and truly felt guilty for the things she did... but Applebloom couldn't fully reconcile with her. The years of torment, the scars she left, the thoughts she put in the farm filly's head... She couldn't fix that in one day. An apology wasn't enough, not for one texas yellow mare.

One day, the two walk past eachother on the street, and Diamond Tiara strikes up a conversation. So begins a long journey of self-acceptance, recovery, and love...

TL;DR; Applebloom finds out she is a lesbian with a horrible taste in mares, and has to juggle internalized homophobia alongside reconciling with her childhood bully.
