This story is a sequel to No Heroes Part II - The Journey Home

In No Heroes Book II, Lightning returned to the orphanage that raised her only to watch it – and all the children she loved – burn to ashes. Yet the tragedy wasn't a total loss: she was able to rescue one filly. Burdened by failure, Lightning decides to take tiny Keen Arrow into her care.

Lightning has never considered what it might take to raise a child. Has she rushed into another task too big for her wings? Now she's in a position she never would have imagined, and Lightning must make a choice between her dreams of glory and her new responsibilities.

But is Keen willing to wait for her to figure things out?

This story expands upon the events established in No Heroes. Although reading the series will help in understanding the background material, it is not essential to enjoying the content of this story.

Fleur de Lis is best known as a supermodel, but she also happens to be an illusions master. Every year just before Nightmare Night, she tests her skills by inviting ponies to attend her 'Week of Nightmares' in an attempt to terrify even the bravest. This year's most esteemed guests? Fancy Pants and Princess Luna.

But Fancy Pants is a veteran of the brutal Dragon Wars, and Princess Luna slogs through other ponies' nightmares all the time. Both have high doubts for the night.

Fleur might be more capable than they think...

My entry for Random Romance's September contest.

Shining Armor's life is stellar! His career in the Royal Equestrian Army is going wonderfully, and he's caught the eye of a certain Princess of Love. But not long ago he was with an entirely different mare. He and Sunset Shimmer broke up, but she wasn't too thrilled by the decision. Now she's lost her apprenticeship under Celestia to a filly not even half her age. Desperate for some comfort, she goes to the only pony she believes can give her the attention she needs.

Can Shining help her pick up the pieces, or is he too good for her?

This story is a sequel to Lightning's Bolt.

An ancient enemy from the princess's past has arisen, seeking to re-establish a forgotten empire. With Canterlot under this new villain's sway, the princesses compromised and the Element-Bearers under the enemy's control, it's up to Luna's team to find a way to save Equestria. This is what they were chosen for, the reason they have been brought together.

Can six noponies really make a difference? Are they mere shadows of the light?

The time has come to show that you don't have to be the best to be the heroes.

Golden Harvest - aka Carrot Top - is a carrot farmer. Her entire life has revolved around that fact. But when she was a filly she dreamed that she might be something else: a princess. Every little filly has had that dream at least once, right?

At one time six years ago, Rarity got saddled with the loathsome chore of foalsitting Golden Harvest. What started as a bothersome chore sparked a friendship, and when the aspiring fashionista gave her the chance to look like royalty a crush was born. Now Golden spends her days longing to catch the unicorn's eye.

And with a little help from a friend, Golden might finally get her wish.

After the disastrous events of the Grand Galloping Gala, Octavia decides to relax in the Castle Gardens. Using her music to relax, she is discovered by the mysterious Princess Luna, who still fears public opinion. Over the coming months they find comfort in one another's gentle presence, and Octavia finally finds the inspiration she needs to fulfill her oldest, most ambitious of dreams.

This story is a sequel to No Heroes Part I - The Roster

Our six not-so-heroic figures have been selected, but they aren't a team just yet. The first thing they need is a headquarters, and there can be no place better than Ponyville. But not all are so willing to make such a move; Upper Crust is determined to stay in Canterlot, Fine Crime fears his demons may terrorize the local ponies, and Lightning Dust is nowhere to be found. Will Luna's plans come together, or will this team disintegrate before it even gets formed?

Kudos to Eosphorite for the awesome commissioned cover!
