When Twilight finds out that her favorite Canterlot bookstore, Haystings, is going out of business, she sets out to save it in the most overdramatic way possible...

...with pop star outfits and a trio of princesses who have no clue what they're supposed to be doing.

Cocoa is a warm drink. Miss is a title for unmarried mares. These are facts that Starlight Glimmer took for granted until she wakes up one day and finds that, for some odd reason, not only is everypony in Ponyville is using "cocoa" to mean "miss" and "miss" to mean "cocoa," but nopony has any memory of ever doing anything else. Linguistic pandemonium ensues.

Semi-inspired by the Miss Pommel scandal, Andrew Clements' Frindle, and other fun things. And yes, that gate is actually made out of chocolate.

Ever since her loss in the first round of the Friendship Games, Suri Polomare's life has been in freefall. The harsher students blame Canterlot High's edge on her, the reformed students see her as part of the problem, and not even her ex-best friend Upper Crust is willing to talk to her. On top of that, if she doesn't get her grade up in language arts, she'll be expelled from Crystal Prep's fashion program, but it's there that she meets her saving grace. A student desperate to make friends, who gets high marks in language arts and who--more importantly--is too new to know how low Suri is willing to go.

Who says it always has to be everyone for themselves, after all, when it's just as easy to take advantage of people like Coco?

This story is a sequel to My Nightmarish Heroine

After years of being under the Nightmare Forces' control, Rarity is just now struggling to pick up the pieces and to figure out just how much she has really done. With only shreds of her memories of Nightmarity remaining, coming to terms with her darkest self will be hard enough. But when somepony from her time under the nightmare returns, Rarity must decide for herself whether this past is one that deserves to be completely buried.

It has been three years since the nightmare forces unleashed their second attack upon Equestria and, as a result of a truce made between them and the princesses, they now have their own country ruled by Nightmarity, their queen. One day, Coco Pommel comes across Nightmarity in Manehattan. Expecting to be attacked, Nightmarity ends up--protecting her?

To ponies, the Windigos are some of the worst beings imaginable, but for young Orli, they are the brethren she is proud to accept. For too long, she felt that pony society would only accept her from afar, and so she chooses to provide unseen aid as her kind has done for centuries. But as she recalls the brave actions of her mother, she inadvertently performs one of her own, one that leads her to a sudden epiphany: perhaps enemies don't always stay enemies...

For the Equestria Daily Outside Insight contest.

Equestria has been released from Tirek's control, but victory has come with a cost. Unlike her friends, Fluttershy has been mysteriously ill ever since unlocking her key to the chest, and everypony has gathered at her house to tend to her. However, one night, Discord witnesses her undergoing a shocking transformation that has even him confused. He's willing to just shrug it off, however, until the rest of her friends discover it and tell him that what he has just witnessed is no laughing matter, but rather something that could change everything. If the issue is not contained, Equestria could be in jeopardy only mere weeks after it was last threatened. Caught in a whirlwind of drama and questions, only one thing seems true: another villain has outconned even Discord.

And he doesn't like that one bit.

Years ago, Coco Pommel rescued a young laborer in Manehattan's textile district when she was on a delivery shift for Suri.
