Sonata Dusk gets a government job in Equestria.

(Mood: Cheerful fluff)

Loosely inspired by a drawing of Chrysalis waving an EBT "food stamps" card at Cadance, I wrote the first draft of this story last Friday.

This bit of fluff might be an entry in Bicyclette's Polyship Contest, idk? (link)

Cover image: I had a lot of trouble finding art of Sonata dressed as an office worker, so I experimented with purplesmart.ai and edited the results.

When Sunset steals alien Princess Twilight's new nanotechnology invention, some of the consequences surprise everyone.

A lonely girl might even find true love (or maybe not.)

(Also, we learn why Twilight Sparkle was so terrified of having to go back to Magic Kindergarten.)

Mood: science fiction AU with comedy and shipping elements.

Prereaders: LysanderasD, Logarithmicon, Carlos S., Shirlendra. (The prereaders are not responsible for my own mistakes and shortcomings, though.)

This story might or might not be an entry in Science Fiction Contest II (link), at least under the current rules that accept a wide range of AUs with science fictiony stuff.

Every day, all day, Trixie transforms pebbles and bits of rubbish into teacups, and she is happy.

Content Warning: Seriously, this is science fiction AU horror with dystopian elements. But isn't it interesting to see things through a different point of view? (scream emoji) 😱

Let us thank the prereaders: Carlos S., Cloud Ring. (The prereaders are not responsible for my own mistakes and shortcomings, though.)

This story might be an entrant in "Science Fiction Contest II," who knows?

Love is complicated, even if you have several girlfriends to help you figure it all out.

(First "2023 Spring Fling!"
Seriously, it's probably an entry in this contest.)

"Sometimes," Big Mac's wife said, "I really think you love that doll more than you love me."

In a moment of foolishness, not long after Twilight Sparkle first moved to Ponyville, the unicorn cast an enchantment upon an old doll of hers. Later that same day, the unicorn's teacher dispelled the malign glamour. Surely, not even traces of the spell remained.

Or so one likes to think.

When Sunset Shimmer was stranded in the human world, only Sven Gallop noticed she was homeless, and offered to help.

But there was a price to pay. There often is.

For the Sunset x Former Relationships Contest.

One night, the Tree of Harmony disguises itself as an alicorn to appear in the basement of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.

A few days later, Sunset Shimmer and Princess Celestia heatedly discuss a night of passion only one of them knows anything about.

In the MLP:FiM episode "What Lies Beneath," the Tree of Harmony took the form of Twilight Sparkle, trapped the Student Six in caverns beneath the School of Friendship, and put its captives through weird ordeals to test them, threatening to hold them prisoner for longer (maybe forever?) if they failed.

In what world does that NOT make the Tree at least a part-time villain?

(This story might be an entry in a "Sunset x Former Relationships" contest.)

The trouble with Sunset's 'Flanksy' graffiti art is, vandalism doesn't belong to the artist.

So Twilight comes up with a scheme to sell things you don't own and don't have. It uses computers and the interneight!

There's a big difference between being an inspiration, and being everything and everyone you've ever hoped for.

That's a line Robin Whinnyams knows all too well.

Disclaimer:

Robin Whinnyams is not any real world human in show business, alive or dead. There really is a big difference between being an inspiration and being everything you've inspired.

Also, at least in our world, the movie "~Paint~ Patch Adams" was inspired by a real person.

Art Credit: I recolored and edited (part of) an official MLP comic panel (by pencils) into a robin-griffon. pencils does some nice work, don't they?
