Big Mac and Sugar Belle have been dating for a few month now. One morning, Big Mac seems more contemplative than usual, and Sugar Belle asks what's on his mind.

Hugging his special somepony close, Big Mac recounts the dream he had last night.

On Hearts and Hooves Day, a lonely construction pony needs a friend's help to get through another rough evening.

Written for Whinny City Pony Con (3/31 - 4/2) for Hearts and Hooves Day (mostly because I love their mascots). You can register here!

Spitfire has a call sign, just like every other Wonderbolt. However, she tries to keep hers a secret, and it's FAR worse than "Rainbow Crash."

Based on season 6, episode 7: "Newbie Dash."

Fair warning: Written in about an hour and a half and with minimal editing.

I never liked the quiet. Quiet happens when the audience gets bored. Quiet happens when somepony you love walks out on you, or when you crash into the stands during the show and nopony knows if you’re hurt, but they’re too afraid to ask... It paralyzes you, ya’ know?

Soarin' should be happy, but even as co-captain of the Wonderbolts, he always feels like he's flying solo. Something's missing, and he'll need to learn what's truly important to find it.

We've all been there. Well, half of us have.

Sunny is an adolescent pegasus, and for him, there's no place more terrifying than the classroom when a certain problem just won't go away.

"Who are we but the pony we become in our darkest moment?"

Fire Streak finally gets his big break, but even as the lights all turn toward him, he feels the cold presence of a lingering, blue shadow.

Who could forget about the Superb Owl? Certainly not Pinkie! When she hears that everypony's favorite owl is going uncelebrated, she's determined to set things right, even if she only has an hour to do so.

(You know those stupid ideas that don't go away until you type them up? This is one of those. Written in about an hour.)

“The will to power is in our blood. You feel it in yourself, do you not? No day goes by where I am not tempted to return to my inborn nature. What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?” ~Paarthurnax, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

Unequaled skills. Greater power. Total dominion. Onyx has always desired more, but when this young colt learns a dark truth, he must face the most formidable enemy he as ever known: himself.

Four stallions. Poker. Tequila.

It's that time of year again: time for the annual colts-only weekend at Lucky Buck's, and Braeburn, Soarin', Caramel, and Big Mac are in for one heck of a night.

Now with a reading by Savrin Drake!

Ponies? Yeah, you hear a lot about them growing up in the minotaur homelands, and it isn't all positive. Actually, almost none of it is positive. They're different. They've got those weird pictures on their flanks and those little prayers they mumble to their princesses. Ponies are gentle, passive. They're not like us.

See, a minotaur is supposed to act a certain way. You bulk up. You get aggressive. You don't let anyone else push you around, and you don't associate with ponies. I've heard the same thing my whole life, ever since I was young.
