When a windigo appears looking for a child he conceived with a regular pony, the Elements are dispatched to supervise the meeting. But it turns out that the windigo's isn't the coldest heart up in the northern steppes, and the child's adoptive family has some secrets of their own...

Lunaverse story.

Ditzy Doo has many responsibilities -- delivering mail, supporting her community, and even fighting evil as the Bearer of the Element of Kindness and a Knight of the Realm to boot. None of these, however, are as important to her as her primary job of raising her daughter Dinky. Through good times and bad, Ditzy has always been there for her daughter, and she works tirelessly to make sure that Dinky grows up in a happy, healthy, and loving environment. Unfortunately, nopony is perfect, and after a freak accident almost results in disaster, Ditzy becomes even more protective of her daughter. When Dinky subsequently becomes eligible for a fantastic opportunity, the foal is excited, but Ditzy is so worried that her daughter will get hurt that she finds herself wishing Dinky would pass it up. Ditzy must choose, then, between keeping her daughter as safe as possible... and allowing her to grow. Lunaverse story.

Silver Spoon prides herself on being the best at everything. She's the richest foal in school, and the prettiest, and the wittiest, and the smartest... and if you don't believe that, you can just ask her. However, when she overhears Sweetie Belle singing to her sister, she quickly realizes that her own musical efforts are inferior to that of an annoying blank flank. There is only one thing for her to do -- before Sweetie Belle's debut, Silver Spoon must surpass her in music! It will be a wild adventure, and while Silver Spoon might not quite be able to achieve the virtuosity she desires in two short days, she may well learn a few things regardless... and she might just make a few friends while she's at it.

A story of the Cadanceverse, but it does not require prior knowledge of the verse.

Trixie has successfully accomplished her mission, and the crimes of the corrupt nobles in Equestrian's government have been laid bare for all to see. Princess Luna has castigated the nobles and put an end to their depravities, and Trixie wants nothing more than to return home and begin the victory celebrations. No sooner has she returned, though, than one of her friends reminds her that one of Luna's ponies has broken her rules and gotten away with it -- Trixie herself. Forced to confront her actions, Trixie realizes that she has little choice but to confess to her teacher, mentor, and friend. Can Trixie go through with it? And, if so, will this revelation destroy their relationship... or will the magic of friendship allow for them to bond even more strongly than before? Lunaverse story, taking place immediately after RainbowDoubleDash's At the Grand Galloping Gala.

Octavia's birthday is coming up, and Luna wants to make sure that she appropriately honors her favorite musician and close friend. In disguise as the page Night Vision, she works with another page named Paperweight to scour the city of Canterlot and find the perfect gift! Hats will be purchased, gelato will be consumed, and even powerful ponies like Prince Blueblood may find themselves roped into the shenanigans. But at the end of the day, Luna is confident that she and Paperweight can find a perfect present for a wonderful musician.

Octavia Philharmonica has had an interesting life since becoming the Bearer of the Element of Honesty. Between her music studies, her jam sessions with Vinyl Scratch (the Element of Magic) and the other Ponyville musicians, and her attempts to learn more about friendship, she's got a lot on her plate. Fortunately, she seems to be doing well, and her attempts to integrate into the Ponyville community have been largely successful. She is even invited to go to a magic show by some of her friends, an invitation which she happily accepts.

Unfortunately, during the show, a traveling showmare and a purple-coated scholar get into a fierce argument over which of them is the better mage, and Vinyl's attempts to mediate only make things worse. When Trixie Lulamoon and Twilight Sparkle refuse to back down, they retreat to the Everfree to settle things and accidentally antagonize the dreaded Ursa Minor! Their only hope for rescue is the Element Bearers, who alone have mastered the magic of music and friendship to defeat those that would harm Equestria. Octavia will have to work with Vinyl and the other Elements to save the day once more. To accomplish this, though, she'll have to use all she knows about music... and about friendship as well.

A Cadanceverse story, and the sequel to 'The Music of Ponyville'. However, you don't need to read that one to understand this story.

Octavia Philharmonica would like nothing more than to practice her cello and to compose beautiful music all by herself. Unfortunately, her teacher Princess Cadance has other plans! Sent to Ponyville to assist with logistics for the Vernal Equinox Festival, Octavia wants only to get through the ceremony with as little interaction with the local populace as possible, but her plans are derailed by the return of two ancient evils. When the ancient tyrants Burning Sun and Nightmare Moon break free from their prisons and initiate a new era of war and devastation, Octavia finds herself and five other musicians -- Vinyl Scratch, Fluttershy, Lyra Heartstrings, Bluenote, and Medley -- caught up in a desperate race to find the Elements of Harmony and stop the alicorns. It will be a difficult journey, but it just might be possible, if Octavia can manage to befriend the other ponies... and if she can learn to truly listen to the music of Ponyville.

First story in the Cadanceverse!

Even alicorns need vacations sometimes, and Luna is taking hers. In the guise of the humble page Night Vision, Luna walks the castle halls. It will be a night of ink stains, mismatched plates, an oblivious musician, and spectacular hoofball goals. But most of all, it will be a night of fun and friends.

Directly inspired by Fizzy Orange's brilliant story 'Luna's Pet Project', which you should all go read immediately.

You do not need to know anything else about the Lunaverse to understand this story, although reading Fizzy's story as a prequel is highly recommended.

But now that Bonbon has gotten some powers of her own, it's time for Trixie to taste a little karmic justice.
