Given an assignment to come up with a 500-word story in a day, Sunset turns to the smartest person she knows to help her with her writer's block: Twilight Sparkle.

Sure, this is gonna end well.

In a valiant attempt to improve Fluttershy's social skills, Twilight tries introducing her to a wide variety of hobbies and activities that the shy pegasus can use to connect socially with other ponies. Yet somehow, she has only succeeded in isolating her friend from the outside world even more.

Now Fluttershy has yet another social inhibition: video game addiction.

Notice: gratuitous, not really necessary Flutterswearing.

Also notice: written on a phone with a tweaked wrist. Have fun.

As the chaos surrounding the mirror pool died down, and the original Pinkie Pie was reunited with her friends, the Mane Six had assumed that all was well and good, and they'd gathered up all of the extra Pinkies.

Never make assumptions.

In a valiant effort to escape the fate of being cast back into the mirror pool, the remaining clones gathered their own identities and fled to the best hiding ground for multiple copies of the same pony they could think of: Manehattan. On the first train out of dodge, they set about the city and scattered to the wind.

Though not without promising to meet every week and exchange notes. Welcome to Pinkie Anonymous.

This is a commission for River Road, who opted for a full-on multi-chapter story!

If you want me to write you a story of your own, I have a Patreon just for that! Oneshots, multi-chapter stories, adspace, and more! I even do original fiction.

There exists an ancient text as new as yesterday.
Bound in things best left ignored, it has one thing to say.

A simple message told in rhyme, it waits for one to read.
Until such time as it is spoken, so to it is freed.

The Corvus Prince, Penumbral Son, the Uncrowned King awaits.
From Neverwere he rises up, and marches on his gates.

A step before a step again he walks in patient stride.
Unwavering and steady on, he rises like the tide.

Read not the words, the Prince's creed, be silent, walk away.
From the moment that the words are spoken, you have but one day.

Twilight Sparkle gathers her friends after receiving a rather distressing letter from her mentor, Princess Celestia. She's not happy about the contents, at all.

It seems her friends all went on some magical adventure without her. And now they're all in a lot of trouble.

Sex tag and Teen rating for some crude humor.

From the unraveled psyche behind The Corner of (Our) Eyes, Eyes Wide Shut, and Schadenfreude, comes a new adventure comedy of horrific proportions!

Ever since Sunset Shimmer, nay, Starswirl the Bearded himself crossed the threshold into the human realm, there have been traces of magic among us. And since that time, there have been those who stood against the creatures of the dark that would seek to do us harm.

Unfortunately, right now 'those' people are a group of high school delinquents who can barely keep out of detention long enough to get the job done. Armed with medium-speed wits, a minimal grasp of magic and monsters (mostly from the internet), and whatever heavy or sharp things they can get their hands on, these boys will stop at nothing to disperse the atrocities that threaten their daily lives.

Suddenly, violently, and all over the frickin' place.

Adagio Dazzle is bored. Bored with her sibling. Bored with being powerless. Bored with not having anything to DO all day. So she decides to try and make friends. Or, rather, just walk around and call people her friend until one of them gives in.

It goes about as well as expected.

The Canterlot Reformation, Reintegration, and Parole Office. Where supervillains, other-dimensional monstrosities, and general ne'er-do-wells are sent to become better people and reintegrated into society after their encounters with the Elements of Harmony. Some are just there for the therapy.

Surrounding some concerns about the turnover rate of villainy and general evildoing in Equestria lately, Twilight Sparkle (a.k.a. the entire reason the department EXISTS), decides to take a good look at the inner workings of the CRRaP Office. Or, more accurately, audit them.

Unfortunately, its staff includes five mares who are a hair's breadth away from turning evil themselves. If they could be bothered to give a damn.

Somepony's gonna lose their job.

This story is a sequel to The Adventures of Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude, long known for his mischievous and generally dickish ways, has long been a thorn in the side of many a castle attendant.

Yet he has nowhere near as much experience in the field as a certain Spirit of Chaos.

And they are known to cross paths from time to time. Which, like any good friendship, had to start somewhere.

Heavy Beat has the simplest life imaginable. Work on the weather team, teach dance classes to anypony who cares to attend in the Town hall in the afternoons, and do whatever the rest of the time. He's even got time to take a not-really-well-deserved-but-going-anyway vacation to Canterlot.

Or, he would, if he didn't have to teach dancing to a Princess who's been out of touch with culture as a whole for over a thousand years. In time for a wedding.

In time for her wedding.
