Ocellus is home for spring break. She doesn't like being home. There are memories there. Ones she'd rather not dredge up.

Preread by the fantastic Perfectly Insane!

In a version of Equestria where towers of steel and glass stretch for the sky, ponies spend their days in cubicle mazes and staring at screens, and corporations and capitalism rule like the invisible hoof of gods from ancient stories.

Ridge Racer is running. A strange mare is pulling her along, and they're being hunted. Will they survive Nightmare Night when real monsters are after them?

An entry for the 2023 Cyberpunk Equestria Nightmare Night Contest

It was supposed to be fun. Just something a little spooky for Nightmare Night. Unfortunately, it seems the spirits had a little more to say than anypony anticipated...

Equestria is beset by monsters. Terrible threats to ponies lurk in every corner of the nation, and it's up to the Crown to lock them away. Princess Celestia can't respond to every incident, and so she created a special task force - SMILE.

SMILE (Secret Monster Intelligence League of Equestria) exists as an open secret within the highest reaches of power. Currently led by the recently appointed Lieutenant Shining Armor, they find themselves embroiled in a sweet and sour conspiracy that threatens the entire country!

Or at least it's going to ruin a lot of birthday parties.

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Shining Armor/Strength.

Queen Chrysalis has been defeated, and together with Cozy Glow and Lord Tirek, is trapped inside a statue for the foreseeable millennium.

In order to alleviate her boredom, She asks her prison-mates a hypothetical question.

Surely no arguments would occur as a result of such innocent questioning?

This is my Halloween special, Have fun with this one-shot :)

In AU, Twilight, known as Terra Spark, is a trained psychic soldier known as a "Ghost" and Rainbow Dash is a commander known as Brigitte Rainbow.
Two alien races, the nightmarish Changelings and high tech warriors, The Greys, are fighting each other across the sector and humanity(anthro) is trap in the middle of these aliens senseless war.

On a backwater planet, Terra watches over Rainbow, who brings not only hope to the people but also reminds Terra that she deserves a better tomorrow as well.
In return, Terra reminds Rainbow about why she can keep fighting

An entry(maybe) in Imposing Sovereigns IV using the prompt Rainbow Dash/Twilight Sparkle Strength/Loyalty

Setting is inspired by Starcraft 1
characters appears in my current running stories here(for Terra) and here(For the commander)
so I guess I call this a spin off?

Sonata awakens to a mangled apartment and her sisters missing. She's determined to protect herself at all costs and find her sisters.

Base story idea suggested by gapty in the Bean's Writing Group discord. This was originally intended to be a last minute entry the Whodunnit? Youdunnit! Contest!, but stuff happened.

May you enjoy reading Sonata's chaos.

since ever Apple Lauda has terrorized the Nordschleife and scared everypony, he's ready again. He's on the charge again... but he wants to do something different. Since he has met Celestia for the first time, the amount of respect he has towards her is absurdly high. And on a fateful day, he wants to do something...

but there's also a certain Pony on the Nordschleife... who will it be? and will he stop Apple Lauda once and for all?

It's an interesting situation - it's not every day that you get to see the outcome of the road not taken, what might have been. As the married Applejack and Rainbow Dash talk to the dating Applejack and Rarity, they get a bit competitive over who made the better choice.

The other Rainbow Dash and Rarity think it was obviously them.

[A RariDash story that ate what started as a commission for Spamotron]

In order to obtain the power to control Equestria, Cozy Glow must kill three primordial demons and eat their hearts. It's an unsavory business. Better hope she brings hot sauce.

A story about power and those who suffer it.

The Great and Powerful Trixie cares not for performative norms. She will go out, dazzle the crowd, and be utterly, flawlessly spectacular for every single show. No exceptions. Such is her skill, she doesn’t even need to practice her tricks beforehand.

Except, that is, when she performs with a lowly subordinate lovely assistant in the form of Starlight Glimmer, who believes it better to go through the performance several times in private. What a waste of time, the run up to a show should be spent preparing for curtseys and resting ones autographing hoof. What could possibly go wrong?

From me to you, a happy spooky month ya'll!

Fluttershy has been having a bit of paranoia lately and it seems to be increasing. Her friends chalked it off to just Fluttershy being, well, Fluttershy. However, the object of Fluttershys' fears may be all too real...

WARNING: Gore (pretty tame gore, but added a gore tag just in case) and, hear me out,

NON-LINEAR NARRATIVE!

Cover image — again — by yours truly using–... well, you may know already.

Tirek has won. As he escapes from his cell in Tartarus and wreaks havoc across Equestria, he has taken down the Princesses and has stolen all their magic from Twilight.
But during Tirek's victory... someone new shows up.

Twilight has done everything in her power to show how much she loves me. It would have been easier if I felt the same way.

How does one go about breaking up with a dear friend, especially when it's so obvious how head-over-heels in love she is? I'm sure I could have done it, if I'd had enough time to work out how.

But then she saved my life.

Written as part of a gift exchange for Snow, who also did the cover art.

Twilight knew that things would be different for her, ever since she became an alicorn. But during a day out at the funfair, she never envisaged anything like this...

"If you stay in this place," Tempest said. "They will saw off your horn the first chance they get."

"Is that what they did to you?" Sunset asked.
 
Created for Sunset X Villain AU competition (October 4th 2023 to November 2nd 2023).

Lots of her friends have cars and cruise around Pennsylvania with them, so after researching what kind of car is best for her, Periwinkle goes to a dealership and buys one.

The first time she shows it off, her friends are dubious, but once she explains the advantages it has several of them come around.

There are two rowdy places in Ponyville. Sugarcube Corner is only the second rowdiest. This Nightmare Night, Pinkie Pie is just dying to get into the rowdiest place of all. The trouble is, she'll need Discord's help, and the Spirit of Chaos drives a hard bargain.

Note: This story contains death, but it is safe for everyone to read.

A big thank you to Skywriter for the betaread and proofread!

Rainbow Dash is summoned by Twilight to have a meeting about a grade she gave Ocellus. However, things look a little suspicious when Dash sees that Twilight is deep in a hypnotic trance, and sitting at a hungry changeling's beck and call. Hijinks ensue.

This story is a sequel to Eyes So Dark

In an attempt to relieve her boredom as a prisoner, Rarity convinces Empress Andromeda to let her tag along on a trip to an abandoned town–a town Rarity will discover is a graveyard in more ways than one.

Takes place in an AU by Maximasmac. Artwork is also by Maxima.

A Younge lonely boy recently his best friend in the empire move away he is looking for compassionate and meets three very nice and kindhearted people who become his companions and he will go on a journey of self-discovery

In the six years following the ETS Pandemic, the town of Riverview went from having a waning population comprised entirely of ageing humans to a bustling city housing human and pony alike. It became a hub of magical research and even the home of a cultural renaissance. Then, one day, it burned.
For a time, ponies and people alike were left scrambling to rebuild their lives. Many lives were lost, and families wanted answers. The pony that many said to be the most influential in the Shimmerist cult had even renounced her faith and created a schism as a result.
There was a lot of hurt to be healed. In honour of those who died and those displaced, one pony idol streamer would drop her last PV. It would be her career's last hurrah, for a nonprofit cause, and she would't have it any other way.

This short story is set in the Pandemic Universe brought to life by ASGeek2012. An Ode to Riverview is set specifically after the events of Halira's Pandemic: Monsters We Make, starring characters from Pandemic: of Twins and Tails. Although it is highly advisable to read Monsters We Make first, this one-off does not specifically require much knowledge from Twins and Tails.

Nightmare Moon and Luna are somehow split by the Elements of Harmony by Twilight and her friends.

In doing so, Nightmare Moon’s aggressiveness is significantly reduced, and she assumes the role as Dreamwalker as Luna rebuilds her power. Maybe the elements made her too nice.

Prequel to I Met You in the Dreamscape.

Every new day in the Second Age Of Unity brings a fresh chance for discovery. And what Sunny's mostly been discovering is that when it comes to her half-alicorn state, she doesn't have a lot of control. Magic's return has been creating problems for everypony: she just gets to choose her issues from multiple categories.

Sunny specializes in having BIG ideas. 'Why don't we start a school for magic?' qualifies. And since Sunny's last BIG idea set off the Second Age --

-- Sunny gets the ideas. Everypony else has to deal with the fallout. And this time, Hitch has to shut her down.

The Royal Family of Feathisia spends May Day together!

A lovely gift fic written for my good friend Diceman set in the Equestria at war universe!

Realizing she hadn't tried to serve dinner once post-reformation, Starlight Glimmer decided to end her unintentional "streak" and made dinner for Princess Twilight, Spike, Eric Reed, and a visiting Sunset Shimmer. Being the big-hearted pony she is, Starlight was proud to do something for her friends, and her huge grin proved it.

It was just too bad her dinner, which she dubbed "Glimmer Surprise", looked and smelled horrendous.

This story is one of a still-growing series of stories that all take place after A Giant Adventure to Equestria. However, it is not necessary to read any of them to understand this story, but "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" does show the details of how and why the human OC Eric Reed is in Equestria

Braeburn was young, gay and confused. Then his extended family from Ponyville came to visit in Appeloosa, and Braeburn finds himself even more confused as he tries to work through his feelings for his cousin Big Macintosh.

An introspective romance story featuring Braeburn and Big MacIntosh, written for the 2023 M/M Shipping Contest.

Contains some strong homophobic language.

One year ago, the immortal moon lich died.

One year ago, Twilight Sparkle the so-called human moved to Ponyville.

Rarity never believed that, of course. The "human" bit. After all, no human would willingly choose to live in a town of monsters, and no amount of magic or hunting orders or Plans with a capital "P" would ever change her mind on that—especially when said human was so constantly collected and calm.

But... if she wasn't human, what kind of monster could she be?

Written for the Raritwi-deprived Monochromatic, who so graciously let me cook for 1/4th of a year. Huge thanks to Swan Song for prereading, and to everyone I pestered for synonyms whenever the last of my braincells refused to word. Cover art by me!

Being distracted every once in a while never hurt anyone, an innocent trick a mind can pull to lull you into an alternate reality. However, perpetual forgetfulness can quickly become an overcasting issue, especially during what was supposed to be a fun outing turned somber due to a subconscious that keeps trying to seemingly destroy everything.

Though, even on our darkest nights, serendipity can still have a part to play in this mindless game we call life. A bright, flickering light to guide us on our absent-minded journey of finding love.

Pinkamena isn't really pinkie pie in her usual state of mind and really isn't herself.

It's freezing outside. Luckily, I have a Princess to keep me warm.

Originally written for the Quills and Sofa's Oct 11 Panic, where I completely deviated from the prompt in order to write something cozy.

After the events of the Wiggly Big Show the Crusaders got a magazine from Photo Finish and loved it. Then they went to meet another band: The Doodlebops! When they saw success go in Deedee's head they have to help her remember that it's not only her that's a star. It's the whole band.

Many moons ago, the famous Flim Flam Corporation took control of Equestria. The Princesses, the Royal Guard, and the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony all fought valiantly, but were defeated and executed. Many ponies were captured and turned into cyborgs, acting as ruthless enforcers against the small pockets of resistance, as the natural world of Equestria was industrialized to serve Flim and Flam's interests.

But on Nightmare Night, as the lunarizer raises the moon that was once Luna's into the sky, Flim and Flam are met by some unexpected guests. And nothing they can do will save their lives.

My entry in the 2023 Cyberpunk Equestria Nightmare Night Contest

When Twilight ascended it was all smiles and happiness...

The change hit some of the Mane 6 harder than others, and care needs to be taken to prevent things going in a very dark direction.

Can Twilight get over body dysmorphia? Will Pinkie ever be able to close her eyes again? Can Rainbow Dash prevent a disaster?

A Creature enters into equestria at the worse possible moment.

Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Chrysalis have started their attack. The ponies have already lost their magic and the elements have been destroyed. Can this Creature help save equestria or die trying.

But something isn’t right about this creature.
Could it be from Tartarus?

Note from yours truly: “this is purely experimental. I don’t care if it does good or bad. I’m still trying to get better at writing.”

Flurry Heart offers Cozy Glow the chance to learn the true meaning of Devotion.

It’s been 3 months since Twilight had returned to the crystal empire to see her niece, Flurry Heart was very excited to see Twilight again, and to show her all of the new skills that she had learned.

Twilight gives her niece some advice about being a princess.

Since this is an alternate universe, Flurry Heart is five years old, I did this because I wanted her to have a conversation with her aunt, and since babies can’t talk yet I’ve decided to make her a little older, hence the alternate universe tag.

Dear Mrs. Rich,

To be honest, I wasn’t sure how to start this. Not because I don’t have anything to tell, but I’m not exactly sure how to put this into words. I imagine if anypony else were in my horseshoes, there probably isn’t any easy way to even admit it out loud – let alone write this down. Maybe the best way to do so is to just come up front and say it: no sugar-coating, no white lies, no twisting of anything. I’m just going to come out and say it.

My name is Abila, I’m one of the cashiers at your husband’s store, and I… I had sex with your husband twice a week for the past three years – he pays me.
