While most ponies think that Taco Bell is where it’s at, Twilight is lured in by the false promise of Chipotle. As it happens, their fresh ingredients come with something extra . . . not salmonella this time, just good old-fashioned worms.

The good news is that modern human medicine has invented a better treatment than turpentine and linseed oil; the even better news is that anypony can buy it at Tractor Supply Company.

Or at least they could.

Octavia’s never without an idea, she’s never without a plan. Ideas, those are a tenth-bit a dozen, she’s got ideas for days. Plans, well, those are trickier. Short-term, long-term? Medium-terms? Plans intersect goals and she’s not exactly sure how they do; in her head it’s one thing and then she gets home after a day’s work and what counts as research and what counts as wasting her time when she could be doing something productive? Who could say?

Burger King’s tenuous foothold in Equestria could be more profitable if they were able to source beef locally, rather than import it from Earth. A purely financial decision, although the king of the minotaurs and by extension, cows, doesn’t exactly have the same view of the matter.

They think he’s open to negotiations; he knows they’re open to capitulation.

This story is a sequel to Cuddles IV

Long days at work mean getting home late, and they also can lead to a bored unicorn trying to cook on her own. The pan will never be the same, and the less said about the spinach, the better. Luckily, there are plenty of restaurants and food carts to order food from, even if a wild-caught ribeye salad with a side of kaleslaw is confusing on multiple levels.

A belated entry into Categorial Grant’s Cuddlefic Contest, because a series named ‘Cuddles’ is legally obligated to participate. That’s a fact, just like how you can’t transmute post-transition metal to a transition metal.

It’s often been said that horses ponies cannot operate automobiles.

Whether that’s true or not, ponies shouldn’t buy a car beyond their skill level, even if they’ve got the bits to afford it. It’s only a matter of time before the car winds up a twisted wreck in the woods.

This story is a sequel to Cuddles III

Spring rains make the crops grow, and the weatherponies mostly schedule them around when ponies commute, but sometimes ponies get caught out and sometimes a pony’s just got to roll in a mud puddle on her way home.

Was that silly? Or was I the foolish one for not remembering the joys of fresh puddles?

This story is a sequel to Sunbeam

Long days at the shop are made at least somewhat more bearable by friendly voices on the phone, and Kat is no exception. That she’s far more competent than most parts people is the cherry on top.

We work on fleet trucks, mostly, and a few company cars and favors for the boss cars. So when Kat called and wanted me to look at her car, I didn’t know what to expect.

It wasn’t what I was expecting.

Promises don't count unless they're fulfilled, so when Bay Breeze is promised eighteen inches, she'd better get eighteen inches. Anything less would be an affront.

Saturday was a day to unwind, a day to sleep late, to eat brunch instead of breakfast, go out to the lake, or to invite friends over for a barbeque. Unless the lawnmower was broken and Ms. Bundermann is on the prowl.

Having a unicorn friend doesn’t help fix the lawnmower, but friends of friends can make short work of the lawn. It’s technically not a barbeque if the grill isn’t on, but with a whole herd of ponies nomming the grass and musicals on the boombox, with a selection of drinks to suit everypony’s taste, it’s close enough.

Thornycroft has a dream: start a railroad. If she can’t get a charter in Equestria, there’s Earth—America is big, and needs railways.

. . .

America has railways, and building or buying one is too expensive anyway, so she can start a truckway instead, shipping oversized loads a few illegitimate thaums at a time.

It’s not like DOT inspectors even know what a thaum is.
