Based off of the April Fool's prank that many people, including me, wanted to see become real.

Roll opening credits

Equestria is generations gone and dead, but her ponies and other races live on with an epic quest across the stars to find a new home. But all is not sunny across the stars...

Written for the Science Fiction Contest

This story is a sequel to Brightly Lit

It's been six weeks since Equestria came to the world and a desperate battle against a creature of myth and legend was fought. Six weeks of our world coming to terms with new knowledge, new insights, and new ways of thinking about our place in the universe.

It has also been six weeks of Twilight Sparkle being in charge of Equestria. Of sitting on the throne, of hearing things secondhoof while others get to explore a strange new world full of insights and information. A world teeming with books. So many books.

Turbulent times will engulf both worlds as they are enveloped by the storm of change that seeks to swamp them all in anarchy and chaos. And in a storm, all ships seek out the brightly lit beacon of a lighthouse. Of the Pharos.

Another story from, The Canary Files.

After Spitfire dies in a training accident, Rainbow Dash unexpectedly finds herself promoted to Captain of the Wonderbolts. Along with the promotion comes a bequest from her former captain that will take Rainbow Dash on a journey into the beyond. To a place where the dead battle to preserve the living from horrors beyond imagination.

A realm that can only be reached by The Stormriders.

A non-canon story set in the world of "Journey with a Batpony" by Gulheru.

A group of Noctrali fall to arguing about what they should do as for the first time in nearly a thousand years an Equestrian, Princess Twilight Sparkle, is allowed to visit their sacred homeland. As they argue the merits of holding Twilight captive for the crimes of Equestrians a thousand years dead, they receive counsel from an unexpected source.

Setting used with the kind permission of Gulheru.

The Batpony Trilogy consists of:
Interview with a Batpony
Rendezvous with a Batpony
and
Journey with a Batpony

I highly recommend reading some or all of these excellent stories as they hold some of the best world-building I've seen in quite some time. Also, italicized words are from Noctraliyar, the language of the batponies. You can find Guheru's guide to Noctraliyar here.

This story is the fifth of my "Song Stories." Stories inspired by pieces of music that would just not leave my head until I wrapped a story around them. Here are the previous four:

Twilight's Friendship
Fighting for Twilight
Rock Bottom
and
Battle Dawn

King Sombra has returned, and worse he was already in place when Shining Armor, Cadance, Twilight and their friends went to the Crystal Empire. Outnumbered, an enraged Celestia tries to find the calm necessary to command her forces and avenge Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

This is yet another of my "Song Stories." Stories where I have taken a filk or similar song and woven a brief story around it. Other stories in this series are:

Rock Bottom
Fighting for Twilight
and
Twilight's Friendship

I hope you enjoy this offering and there will be youtube links in the afterword to the songs involved themselves.

Rarity is a mistress of the fashion arts. Pinkie Pie has made baked goods and confections for royalty. So what happens when the two decide to see who is the best at bondage using their favorite method of expression? Shenanigans. Massive shenanigans.

A very silly story written with contributions and assistance from my friend, Damaged. Personally... I blame the eggnog.

Twilight Sparkle is a curious mare, always studying, always learning. As she gets older it is only natural that she becomes interested in sex and sexuality. To help her study the subject of pet play she approaches the wisest mare she knows, and one she trusts as much as she trusts her own family.

Princess Celestia

A note: The story was tagged as it is, after consulting with story approvers. There is no actual sexual contact in this story. Re-tagged with the new Fetish tag.

This is another one of my stories that is a framing piece for a reworked piece of filk music. Such as Twilight's Friendship and Fighting for Twilight. In this case the piece of music is "Walk Through the Night Side." There will be a link in the author notes.
