Warning: The story you're about to read is currently unedited and contains some m/m themes, cultural misunderstanding and an awkward situation. And it contains some very minor spoilers of the episode: "Rockhoof and a Hardplace."

During the events of "Rockhoof and a Hardplace," the ancient hero tries out for other jobs to find out where he fits into modern society after the failure as a professor from the School of Friendship. In his stay in Ponyville, he decides to try out as a farmhoof at Sweet Apple Acres. While there and through a cultural misunderstanding, he thinks that Big Macintosh purposes something life-changing.

All from offering an apple pie.

Warning: the following story you are about to read contains disturbing material that may be unnerving to some readers.

It is (for some) the first Nightmare Night for the Student Six. They spend the evening in costume wondering the fairground of Ponyville enjoying the pony holiday. However, a magic show gets their attention in which the magician shows off a curiosity: a centuries-old automaton. Gallus is asked to come on stage in which, even after the show, the trick that he went along with, follows him back to the school.

A special thanks to LeylaQuartz for having this story finally be edited and inspiring to give an alternative ending.

This story is a sequel to Inverno in F Minor

Warning: The following story is currently unedited and will contain classical music. The story is inspired by the anime show: ClassicaLoid. If you do not like those, you know where the exit button is. Also, since I'm trying to portray these composers as closely as to how they were, it only stands to reason that I put an M/M tag on (especially with three particular characters) Lully, Schubit, and Tchaicoltsky.

Cover art was created by Mix-up, aka amalgamzaku.

Taken place after the birth of Flurry Heart, Cadance and Shining tried to get their adopted son to interact with foals his age. But their son, Inverno, is easily bored with them so he decides to use magic to craft some friends that he wanted to have. So following the instructions of a mental resurrection spell from his biological father's (Sombra) he brings the minds of history's greatest composers back. However, they are immediately separated throughout Equestria. Inverno goes on a quest to recover these brilliant minds while discovering that they come back with something more than he could imagine.

This story is a sequel to Discord Teaches Philosophy

Warning: The following is currently unedited and contains a significant amount of Philosophy.

After deciding on taking up the role of a Substitute and finding out that the main Philosophy teacher is boring his students, Discord decides to step in to take up the responsibility of teaching. And he will do it by teaching it in plain Equestrian, in a way that these young students would understand. As well as in his own unique way.

Lesson Plan (in no particular order):

Socrates: His Method and How We Ought to Live ✅

Plato: Allegory of the Cave ✅

Marcus Aurelius: How Stoicism Deals with Hardships ✅

Confucius: Who is Ruling Whom? ✅

Kintsugi: The Art of Imperfection ✅

Machiavelli: In Defense of the Prince ✅

Montaigne: Usefulness of Humility ✅

Rousseau: Of Savages and Civilization ✅

Kierkegaard: Subjectivity and Truth ✅

Nietzsche: Of Suffering and Happiness ✅

In this one-shot idea, Fluttershy asks her friend Discord if he would be interested in taking up the job as a teacher at the new School of Friendship. Discord agrees to teach them something if he were given a chance to test-drive it by having a few students to see if he would take up the job. What follows is a lesson on the meditations of Reniegh Haycartes.

Cowritten by the wonderful Milo_Chalks.

After their wedding, the great head cultural critic, Fancy Pants and his now newly-wedded spouse, Acrylic Brush, decided to take the week off to enjoy their time together. It was a simple plan really, go somewhere in which that was away from the crowds, yet still have some things to do. Just enjoy the local culture and the time they have for one another.

However, due to some rather questionable activity in a nearby mine, such a thing all together seems rather unlikely.
