Spike's always come up short on his luck with mares. All that's about to change. Probably not for the better. Oh, and there is that whole thing with the Changeling capitulation deal, which is unlikely to affect Spike. Nope, not at all.

Primary Cast: Spike, Pleiades (she's back, baby!)
Secondary Cast: Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Chrysalis, and more.

Set about ten years after the end of Season 4.

Note: This story is set in an alternate universe, where very little past season 4 will be referenced, and the changeling changes with Thorax and friends are retconned to hell!

Update: Dark tag added for some of the humor.

The Grand Galloping Gala.

For many ponies, this event promises to be the best night ever! Follow the stories of a collection of “couples” and how the dream night plays out. For some, there will be joy. For others, there will be disappointment. For you, dear readers, there will be laughs.

A comical collaboration project between Level Dasher and myself, spawned from the Random Shipfic Game (and took us way too long to complete). Takes place at the gala after “The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows” and before the end of season five, whenever that may have been (We started this YEARS ago—a bunch of the new canon altered the story a bit).

Tags simply marked as “Other” because there are too many to list.

Twilight Sparkle is perfectly happy with her dateless Hearts and Hooves Day. Just because all her friends have dates and she doesn't. What does that matter?

Inspired by something I heard on the Bronycon Shipping and Romance panel. So you can kinda blame scoots2 for this, but only barely.

Pinkie Pie has been lonely lately, and a chance encounter with Rainbow Dash gives hope that she might find some cheer.

Because cheer has been in short supply, lately.

Thanks to my pre-readers: Level Dasher, iakovl, Forgoten Null and Phycokrusk, who always seem to help me when ever I put the call out.

Twilight Sparkle visits the Crystal Empire to get over her Hearts and Hooves day solitude, only to find what might have been, had life taken a different turn.

Fluttershy has been keeping a secret from two ponies she holds very dear. Tonight, she's going to share that secret with the both of them.

A/N: May or may not have been written while drunk.

Big Mac has been dating Spike in secret for a few months now, and they are finally ready to make it public. But how will things go for this shy stallion?

Written for the Hearts and Hooves Day event on EqD.

Set ten years after Season 4. So yeah, Spike is a fair bit older!

Diamond Tiara is the richest filly Ponyville has… what more could she want?

If you asked that question, you obviously do not know Diamond Tiara.

Two individuals come to visit her with a very unique proposition…

…one she would be a fool to refuse.

Six hundred years after the Cataclysm, the old regimes have fallen by the wayside, replaced by Megacorps that dictate their own policies. At the bottom of it all are the SINless, the outcasts and unwanted.

Studs' Liquor Barn is a common joint for the dregs of society to wet their whistles, but the griffon never expected her to return.

Prereaders: PhycoKrusk, Forgoten Null

A/N: A Shadowrun-ified MLP story. If you are unfamiliar with the Shadowrun games (PC, Snes or tabletop) then this story is probably not for you.

Every day for the past few days, a mournful song has been coming out of the alleyway beside the rescue shelter Fluttershy works at. She finally braves the scary alleyway, concerned for the possibly injured creature, but is surprised by who she has found.

Maybe, if she can show Sonata Dusk just a little bit of kindness, she can turn the poor girl's life around.
