Jesse thought he hit the jackpot... a job offering him a month of work and living arrangements? Being between cities and in need of the income, he pounced at the opportunity.

However, shortly after arriving at the listed address and going in courtesy of the key waiting there... he finds himself part of a deal he never really signed.

Everpony in Snow Castle thinks Blackberry is part-troll because he is so naughty, and so Clever Clover sends him away, forever. After talking with his naughty friend, Jealous Jasmine, and his good friend, Light Heart, he finds out what he is made of.

The setting is G2, but the fic is heavily FiM-inspired. The G2 setting in the comics is whimsical and silly - think a rainbow having a sleepover with a unicorn.

Short & Sweet at 2K words.

While written as a children's story, it is readable for all ages. There is some candy horror/drama if you read between the lines. There is also a little humour, but I ran out of genre tags.

Written in simple English and in first person.

Special:
Written in poor taste about recent events. Goodbye, pony friends!

The words still echoed, spinning clearly in her mind...

Applejack stared at the ceiling, her eyes tracing over the gaps and grains of the wooden rafters for what felt like the hundredth time.  Of course she didn’t “enjoy” being forcibly transformed by magic, and in the split-seconds of the magic working over her body, contorting her, dressing her in riding gear and hardening her flesh into fiberglass, she’d been nearly overwhelmed with fear...

...when it was done, however, she’d felt something different...

...as she went around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around...

A slow-burn descent into an unusual place, as Applejack and the CMC become obsessed with being turned into a carousel. May count as psychological and/or body horror, or maybe fetish-fuel, possibly a trans/queer narrative (?), depending on who reads it.

Content Warning: Contains a lot of inanimate-TF fixation. Nothing really "disturbing" about it, but that's what the story is about.

Because of the horror aspects, I am submitting this as part of the Nightmare Night in April Writing Event. If that interests you, go check out the other stories in that folder!

This is a followup to something that happened in the IDW My Little Pony comics, Issue 78, the end of the Cosmos arc, where the image is from. You do not need to read that to understand the plot, as it's just one scene and I explain everything relevant (I haven't read it myself since it came out), though it's a year-end 4-parter with Discord so you should probably read it either way.

This was an old commission that's sat mostly finished for a while, but was delayed by my severe nerve-damage from COVID.

The spell was lifted, her friends had been sent home, and her student had learned her lesson. 

In theory, everything should be fine. At least, that’s what Twilight kept telling herself. The Fiducia Compelus episode was nothing more than a mistake, and once apologies were handed out tomorrow, everypony would be able to put it behind them. Everything was absolutely fine. 

Why, then, were there sobs coming from Starlight’s room?

This story is a sequel to Father

Retirement affects creatures differently, and for the former Alicorn Princess of the Night it's terrible.

The boredom is never fleeting, and follows her around like a lost pet. Work is even more boring, and she thanked the stars to she was able to keep watching the dreams of her former subjects; still this leaves most of her days empty, and unfilled. This all changes when a conversation with Celestia reveals the foals she teaches are constructing a map of their lineage. Inspired to do something similar, Luna decides she'll partake in this as well.

Her progress grinds to a halt when its discovered she has a lost brother she never knew of, and even her older siblings refuse to speak of him except in whispers. Strangely enough, her own mother refuses to acknowledge this fact leaving the alicorn to wonder who he was, and where he is.

The Changeling-Equestrian War of 1001 has raged for years, but the end of the war has finally come. Captain Twilight Sparkle, just like the countless other privateers sailing for the Crown, finds herself in a difficult position as a warrior without a war and expected to simply return to civilian life in Equestria. But can she give up the sea so easily when there's still an entire world waiting to be explored to the west?

A gift for my incredibly awesome buddy, Mushroom. Congratulations on everything you do, and keep kicking ass. May the world never stop you.

Being the guards officially assigned to work directly for Queen Haven may not be the most stress free job in the world, but Thunder Flap and Zoom Zephyrwing wouldn't have it any other way. They've dedicated their lives to being there for her majesty, and come rain or shine (or whatever else there might be), nothing will stop them from carrying out their duties.

Follow the two on a typical day of service, juggling many responsibilities and assignments. Whether it be managing security detail when Queen Haven pays a visit to somewhere, smuggling in Alphabittle for a "meeting" with the queen, or even just making arrangements for Zipp and Pipp's visit with their mom.

All in a day's work for Zephyr Heights' best guards. The smiles from the queen are the only payment and thanks they'll ever need.

Starlight Glimmer and Twilight Sparkle get Stuck in a cave and will have to work together to survive. Can Starlight let go of her ideals and try to listen to Twilight's ways? Who knows.

Sometime after the events of the first TYT special: The Blockywockys, Allura, still mad at the fact that she and Twitch was so close to getting the Nova Charm, finds a way to get revenge on the ponies.
