Rainbow Dash can outrun just about everything in Equestria--everything, it seems, except apathy. The mundanity of her job drives her further out of her mind each day. None of yesterday's comforts can soothe her. Even fighting off monsters feels routine.

When Rarity mentions plans for a tropical vacation, Dash sees green (and blue, and whatever sandy color the island is), and sparks a plan. What kind of friend wouldn't accompany Rarity to a remote tropical island for a long weekend of fun?

What kind of friend indeed.

Inspired by Antonio Carlos Jobim's "The Waters of March." Cover art by Paintrolleire.

Twilight Sparkle has invited Fluttershy over to read, but they discover something strange. When they are sucked into a portal, they get dumped in an alternate universe. Worse still, they're fillies! Can they ever leave?

Spike is still a virgin.

Rainbow tells him why that will always be the case.

Shining tells him why that won't be the case with his advice.

And you can imagine what goes on from there.

Having escaped the destruction of their captors, three horses - Schubert, Blackie, and Burr - find themselves in Equestria, where the locals seek to forcibly assimilate them into their species.

Now, as several goblins whisk them away into different worlds, they will have to survive the seemingly-endless pursuit of the colourful ponies. Will the horses finally evade their cutesy pursuers, or will they be subjected to the magic of friendship?

[Author's note: Inspired by a lot of boredom, a lot of Internet surfing a few years ago that led me to liking this pony show, and "Get Him!" I like seeing ponies and ridiculous-looking characters get mad and chase someone.]

Maggie Wilson (27), on a smoke break from her dead end convenience store job in the California mountains, encounters the divine god-princess of a dead world. The princess asks for her help. Mag says yes.

So how do you resurrect a dead world?

Sunset and Twilight have nothing to do on a rainy Saturday, so Sunset invites Twilight to come over to the human world to hang out. There really isn't anything else to say, plot-wise.

It's lunchtime in Ponyville! You've been working your butt off for a few hours and can't wait to go out on the town and eat! You're hungry after all, and do need something to fill up your belly for the rest of the day. Therefore, you must make the hardest decision any pony can ever make. Where do you want to go?

...and no, the answer isn't, "Wherever."

This is a random story I thought of in my head... Please enjoy!

Celestia is feeling down and Luna recognises that what she needs is a bit of romance to bring a little sparkle into her life.

Could this be the dawning of a closer relationship between Twilight and the Sun Princess?

This story is a sequel to Dark Sunset

How is Fluttershy holding up after Sunset's death?

In the jungle, even sleep is not a refuge from the horror of war.

CONTENT WARNING: This story contains potential triggers for veterans suffering from PTSD. It is based on the recollections of a dozen veterans I've spoken to over the years, in particular several Vietnam War veterans. The content is disturbing, but necessary to paint an accurate picture of one facet of war. Link to veteran helpline here.

This story is not intended to be a commentary on the Vietnam War. Rather, it is about a soldier finding something to cling to when surrounded by madness. This describes perhaps a majority of the men who served in that war: good people caught in an impossible situation and just trying to survive and keep their comrades alive. Whatever your opinions on the nature of the conflict are, please be respectful of the veterans in the comment section.
