This story is a sequel to SHMM: Fairy An-tricks

When working with others, it's important to take into account what is being brought together. Their strengths, skills, weaknesses, these are important factors that a team needs to keep in mind if they wish to achieve anything that comes their way. However, can working together accomplish something that was never fated to overcome? It's up to Truffles and a cast of other monsterponies to challenge the stars that are in favor for a phantom thief, predestined to forever be uncatchable.

This is a story similar to one you may see with 'hard-boiled' detectives, but it's meant to be a lot more lighthearted and humorous. It's a sequel, but first timers just need to know three things...

1. The world is filled with monster ponies (of various degrees).
2. The main character is a Mushroom Mare detective with poor facial muscles.
3. Keeping an open mind is the key to solving cases.

This story will be in first person (kinda), but be prepared for inner-monologues that speak in past tense. It's recommended to take your time at reading this story instead of listening to it through some text-to-audio program, especially for this entry of SHMM as there are visual cues that indicate speakers.

An unentered entry originally intended for the '3rd Monster Mare Story Contest (Mythical Creatures)', this is now a completed story being entered into the 'The Whodunnit? Youdunnit! Contest'. The prior contest gave me 8.5k words as its limit while this new one gave 20k words as its limit, so I split the difference (rounding down) and gave this story a 14k word limit... no, this bit of info has no importance.

This story is a sequel to Locked Conversation: Octavia & Zephyr

Marble Pie, a taciturn farmer with self-esteem contrary to the durability of her crops .

Autumn Blaze, a gregarious kirin who's severely out of touch with the world outside her home.

These two girls wouldn't survive in the city if they ever had to endure its hard lifestyle. It would help develop characters, but only if they don't get eaten alive first.

It would kinda defeat the purpose for them to develop themselves if they stayed together to work off one another, but it might be fun to see what would happen if they did.

They might even learn something.

It's not needed to be read first, but this story corresponds with another story of mine, 'Locked Conversation: Octavia & Zephyr', as they're basically structured similarly.

Being sisters, Pipp and Zipp have a bond with one another that can often be found between siblings, sharing experiences that strengthen their sisterhood. One of those experiences is simply by exchanging text messages, a private way of connecting on a personal level. Someone like Zipp, who's known her younger sister for so long, would likely know her sister through and through.

Using only the text messages to tell this story, we'll see just how well Zipp knows her sister when something appears off with her.

Made for 'The Twilight Files Contest' and the 'Hot Pony Summer Contest'. ...pretty ingenuitive, aren't I? The latter wanted a story about G5 and the prior wanted a story written in a document format (such as a transcript or a letter). Going off of that knowledge...

*READERS MIGHT NEED TO ADJUST THE FORMATTING IN ORDER TO ENJOY THIS STORY!*
You can adjust some of the formatting from within the chapter, found on the top-right, above the chapter's title.

Pony&Wolf Productions also did an audio read of this story on Youtube if you're interested.

Octavia Melody, a committed cellist with an upper-class taste about her.

Zephyr Breeze, a otiose hair therapist that wishes for the elusive.

These two opposites have nothing in common, and placing them in a room together (say, an elevator) would likely result in chaos.

But what if we overlooked something? Maybe the two of them are a lot more similar than what we assume them to be if we just have them talk with each other.

Only one way to find out and two ways it could go; up, or down.

I'm not kidding on the 'one way' either, as this is the first Octavia & Zephyr story on the site.

[READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION, or you might regret it later.]

With a new trick in mind, Trixie must acquire a rabbit from somewhere before her next magic show. Fate smiles on her as she encounters a rabbit with years of experience in show business, Bugs Bunny.

Upon asking for his services, Bugs declines Trixie's request for legitimate reasons. Trixie isn't going to take 'no' for an answer, but is she great and powerful enough to get the wascally wabbit's cooperation?

Written with the intent of making it feel like a Bugs Bunny short directed by Chuck Jones.

This was made for the, 'Who Crossed Over My Little Pony?' contest. It's something inspired by 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' as it's intended to use characters that made a debut no later than 1947 or ones that are found in the movie. And if you're unfamiliar with the movie, it's just a mystery surrounding a white rabbit in red overalls.

Cover Art was provided by Uz Naimat.

Having a desktop pet can be relaxing to watch, but the Twilight Sparkle pet is a bit more unique as it's capable to perform conversations with its user. It's a learning pet, but the way it performs could leave some people to believe that this Twilight is actually alive.

But it's still just a program... right?

Even though this is an Anon story, their name will be changed to Antoni for the sake of my sanity and to allow both genders to be interpreted (Antonio = Male) (Antonia = Female)

TheFlint44 has also made a Chinese translation (中文译文) of the story for your pleasure.

When a business mare begins to succeed in the world, they begin to believe that they're fitted to lead the nation.

...I think you know where I'm going with this.

It's basically inspired by the '2020 United States Presidential Election'.

I'm not really into politics, but I've never been more determined to speak out my voice than I do this time. And I'll be telling you this story, all through rhyme.

A new change in life brings a different reaction for everyone. Since her brother got married and she gained a sister-in-law into the household, Applejack is starting to feel like a third wheel living on the farm. The ambitious decision she makes however will explain how she and Rainbow Dash became roommates.

Made for The AppleDash: Warm and Fuzzy Feelings Event.

Kaiyo is an atom controlling character that likes to take the hard road at achieving anything and taking such a route can get any fella hungry. Finding an apple tree can be a gift for him, but it could be a problem for Applejack to deal with.

This story was originally written out to be an animation crossover for one of my various shorts involving a character of mine named, Kaiyo, but it was never made. So now after these many years, I'm going to be taking the script to the short and transferring it over to a one-shot for everyone (as well as a few tracks that I would've wanted if it was animated). And don't worry, I'll inform you who Kaiyo is withing the story.

This is basically a 100 followers celebration story that I would've made when I got said number since I first started an account here.... why'd it take 7 years, 28 days, and 13 minutes to get 100 followers?

Life may be one of the longest experiences we'll ever get, but it's also one of the hardest. We each have our own personal issues, struggles, challenges, tragedies, and there could be even more ready to drop on us at any given time.

You will always have to accept what has transpired, you have no control over it. But what you do have control of, is how you'll let it affect you.

Four ponies will be tested with this lesson as they head off to save Equesria's magic, for they are the only ones left in Equestria that still possess any.

This is a 'Final Fantasy' crossover that'll be much like my 'Legend of Zelda' one as you don't need to know anything about the franchise in order to enjoy the story. The Final Fantasy elements will be pushing this story along, as there'll be plenty of common themes and characters that are associated with the franchise (some will be the species/monster and some may act like certain characters).

My basic concept is to make a 'My Little Pony' story that comes out as if it was meant for a 'Final Fantasy' game.

This will be present tense in 3^rd person pony. HOWEVER, I won't have any inner dialogue and instead only focus on feelings and emotions of the characters.

Story takes place almost 2 years after the MLP episode, 'The Ending of the End'.
