It's a hot day in Ponyville. Nothing special. Nothing at all. One pony is even happy about it.

Technology has advanced in Equestria, and due to two con artists and a scientist, everypony is equipped with a jetpack of their very own. What's even crazier is the fact that for whatever reason they can't be removed by anypony no matter what.

A wacky request from Keyblade of Light.

A human is reincarnated as a mare with a rare condition, in an exceptional family. Her siblings are destined for greatness: To be the princess of friendship, the prince of an empire... and she, on the other hand, is destined for nothing. And she loves it.

After a life where everyone demanded success from her to the point of driving her to death, now she just wants to exist without the pressure of “being someone.” Will she succeed?

Everything seemed to be going well until, one day, she discovered her talent: The ability to create illusions. So she has made a decision. She will live as a slacker… or maybe, just maybe, as the pony equivalent of "Loki."

The story of Equestria's origin.

Twilight Sparkle has always been the glue that holds her friends together, but lately, she's felt invisible. Her friends are so caught up in their own lives that they don't notice how much they've been neglecting her. When Twilight starts withdrawing, the others finally realize what they've done- and now, they have to find a way to make things right before their friendship crumbles. (One-shot) (March Of Pain 2025 Day: 21)

Once every three hundred sixty space cycles, the head of the Timekeeper Administrators of Great Library Citadel station, Lara Borealis, randomly chooses an Epoch volume from the lower Timekeeper administrator to review and assess whether that Timekeeper Administrator is ready to advance to the second or third circle of Timekeeper Administrators in Great Library citadel station.

Once that Timekeeper Administrator ascends to that level, a higher level timekeeper Administrator of Great Library Citadel Station must choose them as their own apprentice and take over for them when they retire from the duties of a timekeeper administrator. Only the head of Timekeeper Administrators of Great Library Citadel station is allowed to pick their apprentice. Every head picks as their apprentice is the timekeeper administrator who will take over all the duties of the head of the Great Library Citadel Station.

So, all the low-level timekeeper administrators try to gain the favor of the head of Timekeeper Administrators of Great Library Citadel station by creating a unique Epoch volume for her to review and possibly choose them as her apprentices. One day, taking over as the head of the Great Library Citadel station. Only four Heads of the Timekeeper Administrators of Great Library Citadel station have retired. One of them was the Timekeeper Administrator of the tenth Circle Lara Borealis master.

At this space cycle, Head of Timekeeper Administrators of Great Library Citadel Station Lara Borealis's own daughter-in-training Timekeeper Administrator Celestia Silverlight (Borealis) Epoch volumes are up for review and assessment. To see if she can advance to the third circle of Timekeeper Administrator in Great Library Citadel station, rumors have swirled that Celestia is going to take over for her mother as the new head of Timekeeper administrators when Lara retires. As customary, Lara randomly chose an Epoch volume for her daughter's collection, and this is the one chosen.

Ponyville is faced with a new threat. An enraged demolition worker with a short temper and an oversized hammer. How will the ponies fare against the explosive rage of Dynamite Anton?

WARNINGS: EXPLOSIONS! A WHOLE LOTTA EXPLOSIONS! Shameless promotion of a niche indie game that nobody in this fandom or community will probably ever play or be interested in. You'll probably also cry for poor Fluttershy in this story. Oh, and did I also mention EXPLOSIONS!

Breaking news - International pop star sensation Sweetie Belle has been outed as a fraud! An anonymous source who used to work for her recording studio, Sweet Bell Song, has confirmed that Equestria’s Sweetheart isn’t quite as talented as previously marketed. As scandalous as it sounds, it turns out the singer - 

Sweetie turned off the radio and hid her face. She was ruined, ruined!

…At least until some other scandal of some other celebrity broke into the public. Which is why she was doing what everyone did when they got into hot water - go into hiding and wait it out. 

She just hoped that the Cutie Mark Crusaders really were for forever…

Written as part of a Shitty Expanded Universe exchange for Zontan, who hopefully appreciates all the effort I put into making a damn good story shitty.

THIS STORY IS NOT MEANT TO BE SERIOUS. The whole idea of the 'shitty expanded universe' was for us to submit a random story that someone else would write an intentionally bad sequel to.

Cover art by me!

Anon just wanted to grab a book from the library. Is this too much to ask for? Well... apparently yes, as it was Tuesday, which means something is bound to go horribly wrong. And then perfectly right, as it always does in this land of sunshine and rainbows.

The day has finally come.

Derpy Hooves, the greatest mail mare to have ever delivered mail to just about everypony in Equestria must deliver a letter to Princess Celestia.

There's just one problem: a muffin.
