Spike's new wings had caused him quite a lot of unwanted popularity in ponyville especially among his closest friends. After a tiring day he lays down for a long nap but his dreams are soon interrupted by an uninvited guest, one who has some urgent information regarding spike's long lost past, along with an offer that only comes along once in a lifetime.

sequel's up now!

Twilight Sparkle is a troubled pony who just wants to understand—magic, history, the Elements of Harmony, how other ponies work, and how to live a functional, fulfilling life like everypony else. She excels in everything she does, because all she does is read. Some things are just harder for some ponies. But when she sets her sights higher, toward exploring the obscure terrain of interpony relationships and navigating the circuitous history of the Elements, she learns more than any book she's read could tell her. The world has its secrets for a reason.

Inspired by fiction in the vein of, e.g., HPMOR, Worm, Luminosity, Ra, and To the Stars. I identify this story as a so-called "rational" fiction; for more information, feel free to check out the subreddit /r/rational, or read my comment on /r/mylittlepony explaining some details about my goals and values regarding the story.

*MY SPECIAL HALLOWEEN STORY!*

Every full moon on the eve of the sunset and where the day becomes the night, Fluttershy turns back into the creature of the night known as Flutterbat. Every time that the yellow coated pegasus turns, in the morning - she always forgets. She forgets everything that happened the night before. That is, until one night, where the Flutterbat meets another creature - a shadowbolt...

Each night for months, the Flutterbat and Shadowbolt Dash met up to cause chaos on the town, scaring the local citizens and taking all of the best apples from the apple trees in Sweet Apple Acres. Until one morning, where both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy wake up, only to find that they're in the same bed. What has been happening to them?

Dedicated to Mister Phoenix

Seriously, I racked my brain for hours, and I can't remember ever actually seeing a deer. You hear stories about them, sure, and they're all over the place, right? Then why hasn't anypony actually seen one with their own eyes? What's up with that?

Be it ancient menace or new threat, diplomatic snafu or domestic concern, monster attack or friendship problem, Twilight Sparkle and her friends have always risen to the challenge.

That's a bit of an issue this time around, when the challenge is a marked absence of Twilight Sparkle.

One night, Princess Celestia had a very surprising vision concerning the Mane 5. When she, Princess Luna, and Princess Twilight realize the meaning of it, the Mane 5 will have their world changed forever. They learn that their biggest and toughest choices they will soon make will require immense sacrifice of what they knew, dreamed, and worked for. Ultimately, what they choose will not only affect them, but the ponies they care most about and all of Equestria.

Luckily, they have each other to learn how to be strong and willing to choose whatever choice they make in the future. Will they stay the same, or will they have to eventually rise to the occasion, embrace their true destinies, and join together to form the Princesses of Harmony?

This is a prologue to the series "The Alicorn Trials".

[CURRENTLY BEING REWORKED DUE TO LOSS OF NOTES! SEE MY BLOG POST "Plans Moving Forward" FOR INFO!]

Twilight and Sunset are good friends. Some might even say they are the best of friends. Connected by a magic mirror, the two begin to experiment with the idea of being something more than friends.

However, this idea is made more complicated when said magic mirror begins to mysteriously crack, and if it keeps cracking, it will seal the gateway between the two worlds forever. In order to make sure that doesn't happen, Sunset returns to Equestria to help find a way to stop it. Will she and Twilight succeed, or will they have to say goodbye to their friends at Canterlot High forever? Will they make new friends along the way? All they know for sure is that they have to try.

SunLight, and potentially other ships.

Three days into her latest stay on Earth, Twilight Sparkle is enjoying learning about Europe in the company of her mentor while staying in the nation of Equios, a European microstate bordering Switzerland that functions as Equestria's outpost on Earth.

But when a solemn Celestia wakes her early one morning and asks Twilight to accompany her to a new place a thousand miles away, she will learn that not all is Friendship and Harmony when it comes to humans. That there are some very dark and dangerous events in humanity's past whose nature may rock her to her core. Can Twilight solve the mystery her mentor presents of what happened decades earlier near a town named Pripyat? And can anything be the same afterwards if she does...?

Inspired by the HBO series Chernobyl.

It's been several years since the events of Weirdmageddon and everything seemed to have been defeated and back to normal.

That was until recently when Stanford found a strong aura of weirdness coming from a small place somewhere on the other side of the earth, which he soon found the reason for.

Now, the pine twins are out on a mission to find out what's going on there, while living the normal life of an average teenager in the process.

And while they are living the normal life at their new school, they find a group of girls that soon grab their attention as they find out more about each other's lives.

The main 7 also soon find the weird side of them and are more than interested to find out more about their new friends, finding a whole new world in the process.

Dipper and Mabel are aged up to High School age. (about 15/16 years of age) They're of similar age as the main 7 during the events of the story.

They still have the same personality and interests as the ones from the show.

Their older design can be seen in the cover art I made.

This is a cross-over between Gravity Falls and Equestria Girls. This is what happens when you get very deep into two fandoms. You fuse them together!

So yea, hope you enjoy the story!

More is on the way! ;b

Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sgt. Sprinkles

Being a reprint from the reminiscences of John H. Watcolt, M.D., late of the Wonderbolt Medical Department

In glancing over my notes of the hundreds of cases in which I have during the years studied the methods of my celebrated friend, Sherclop Pones, I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace; for, working as he did rather for the love of his art than for the acquirement of wealth, he refused to associate himself with any investigation which did not tend towards the unusual, and even the fantastic. Of all these varied cases, however, I cannot recall any which presented more singular features than that which was associated with the infamous case of Pinkie’s Cupcakes. The events in question occurred in the early days of my association with Pones, when we were sharing rooms as bachelors in Baker Street. It is possible that I might have placed them upon record before, but a promise of secrecy was made at the time, from which I have only been freed during the last month by Princess Twilight Sparkle upon her coronation as the Ruler of the Equestrian Monarchy, desiring for this particular case in which I am about to narrate to be at last be known to general public (much to the Caballus Club’s objection.) It is perhaps as well that the facts should now come to light, for I have reasons to know that there are widespread rumours as to the disappearance of Rainbow Dash of loyal reputation, which tend to make the matter even more terrible than the truth.
