Great and Powerful Trixie lands the performance opportunity of a lifetime. A kingdom and all its riches are hers - as long as her audience doesn't kill her first.

An entry for the 2024 May Pairings contest.

What if the land of Equestria had another way to help solve problems and to have fun? What if...they knew of the card game known as Duel Monsters?
When the Mane 6 met, the last thing they expected was that they'd have to fight baddie after baddie, some simple bullies, but others...villainous threats. But together, they must travel between their world and a distant world filled with humans in order to keep both worlds safe with both the magic of friendship and the power of Duel Monsters.

Boys make no sense at all. One minute they're playing freeze tag with you, the next they're arguing with you over the rules (that they're OBVIOUSLY WRONG about) like dumb idiots.

And worse, they accuse you of having cooties.

But fortunately for Coral Knight, she knows a secret, forbidden technique for overwhelming a colt's defenses! A tactical maneuver created by the greatest romance writer in the omniverse (her mom, obviously) and perfected in the fire of her father's obliviousness. Silver Star stands no chance!

School life has been going well for Sunset Shimmer, who has recently befriended the human world's version of Twilight Sparkle.
Unfortunately for Sunset, her girlfriend, the pony world's Princess Twilight, has stopped responding to the messages she's been leaving in the journal that she uses to communicate with the pony world.
Sunset begins to panic, worrying that she's done something wrong and that Princess Twilight doesn't care about her anymore. After a talk with Rarity, she decides to do something about it.

Written in first person from Sunset Shimmer's perspective. Set after Legend of Everfree but before the Dance Magic special.

Light wanted to see her Shadow. The Sun wanted to hold her Moon. The Mother wanted to be with her Daughter. She wanted to see her, hold her, cherish her, love her.

To accomplish this, they'd have to become lesser. They would need new forms.

No matter how hard those forms resisted, it was a small price to pay for their perfection.

Simply put: Filthy Rich hears about his wife Spoiled Rich's outrageous behaviour during the events of Crusaders Of The Lost Mark, and goes to confront her about it. Expect fireworks. And a broken glass or two, if you listen hard enough.

Dialogue only, as befits an entry for The Dialogue Only Contest . The clue's in the name. Enjoy!

Once there laid a city known as Luminara, a small residential town right outside Canterlot. Among the several smaller houses resided one of a brother and a sister. A big brother, Amethyst Butterfly, and his young sister Aqua Butterfly. What was once a peaceful life would soon turn their relationship upside down. The true question is, will they stand the test of time?

"Time... can be a cruel mistress. In its relentless march forward, it robs each of us of many things. Moments, experiences, people. Time can take them all from us, in an instant. Such things are gone forever, unless they live on within our hearts, our minds, our memories. For all its cruelty, time can also be a great teacher. Through the changes left behind in its wake, we can learn, we can grow, we can come to understand those truths that have eluded us in the past. Only then can we truly understand ourselves."
~Captain Takeo Masaki

Memories can bring us to our lowest points.

Back to better days.

And heal us.

After a decade of shirking his duties, a young buck finally takes on the legacy of his lineage: To be the keeper of stories in the world of ponies. In a ceremony that has endured for generations, he must first obtain the blessing of an elder. The last elder of his own kind. The Great Sage Fimbulpur, also know as a "Sage of Fate", and his grandfather. Except that the times for ceremony and ritual are long past, since obtaining that blessing now is an impossible task for him in more ways than one.

Thankfully for him, he can always depend on the help of a good friend he made long, long ago. A mare by the name of Cozy Glow.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Cozy's Revenge
