Braeburn is getting old.

Not as old as he might behave, of course-- with all of his whining and wistfulness, you'd think he was nearing 80. For an athlete, of course, 50 may as well be 80.

His buckball days behind him, Braeburn has turned to coaching. It's only now that he's started to wonder what he may have missed out on during his many years in the rodeo and as a member of Appleloosa's buckball team. More than anything, he'd like to turn back the clock and spend his youth a little less occupied by work.

When he puts out an ad in the Equestrian Gazette, an anonymous stranger offers a rather literal solution to his problem.

It can't possibly be anything more than a clever joke... can it?

Written for Nailah's Shipping Contest! The pairing (Braeburn x Hondo Flanks) was randomly generated. Hope you all enjoy!

This story is a sequel to Professional Fitting

Rarity has a plan.

She can't quite bring herself to say what it is-- she's nervous, perhaps even a little scared. Saying it would make it very real, and she can't quite handle it being so real just yet.

Whether or not she says it, though, one thing is for sure: Twilight will find a way to screw it all up.

An entry in the Quills and Sofas Expanded Universe contest. This fanfiction was written and posted with permission as an expansion of AFanaticRabbit's fic Professional Fitting. It is absolutely required reading! Don't try to read this fic without it!

Instead, I'll just send out a heartfelt thank you to all the folks at Q&S, with a special shoutout to Seer for organizing this behemoth of an event. Check out the other entries here!

This story is a sequel to Hearts Beat

Octavia and Flash Sentry have a lot in common.

One of those things is failed relationships.

It is highly recommended that you read Hearts Beat up through "Vulnerable" before starting this fiction - it will contain spoilers for Hearts Beat. That said, this is technically a stand-alone story, so feel free to check it out if spoilers don't scare you away

Everypony has their own beginnings and endings. It is ever so rare to find somepony whose life is parallel to yours, each phase beginning and ending in unison.

Rare, that is, but not impossible. Especially when you lend each other a helping hoof.

Written for the Original Pairings Group's Speed Writing Contest

Starlight and Sunburst have one very important thing in common: neither one is exactly a fan of the holidays. Maybe it's the awkward family gatherings, or perhaps it's the relentless cheeriness-- whatever the reason, they've always done their best to avoid traditional holiday parties.

This Hearth's Warming, they have decided to stake out a haunted house. It's just their luck they picked the one with festive ghosts.
