Despite moving to Ponyville, Octavia's career is going strong. In high society, name and recognition is everything, this is holds true for anypony who wishes to work in those circles. So sometimes having a reputation helps in getting those well paying jobs at private parties.

But sometimes? Sometimes Octavia hates her reputation. Because when a pony is found dead in the estate of House Radon, every eye turns to her to figure out who killed the pony, including the main suspect herself: Lyra Heartstrings.

With the rest of Canterlot a blizzard away, help is not likely to show up any time soon. So not only will Octavia have to figure out who among the guests is a killer, she'll also need to confront past demons she wishes she'd left behind.

This was written for the Whodunnit? Youdunnit! Contest

Dust Devil Dash hasn’t ever been the son his mother wanted. In fact, he’d argue quite the opposite—that he’d come out wrong, somehow.

Which makes it all the more confusing when he’s thrust into the hands of fate, tasked with saving Equestria from the clutches of a magical syndicate hellbent on societal collapse.

(OR: a next generation universe story.)

a homeless pony sits in the rain and thinks on his life

the first story I've ever written, ill have a cover photo eventually

"They say opportunity comes when you least expect it. I've never been one for believing in that kind of shit myself, but there she was."

Strike - a private detective working out of an old, rundown office building in Detrot - is a simple individual. It doesn't matter what the job entails, if there's money involved, he's interested. Usually, it's small things like catching others having an affair, finding a lost pet, finding a family heirloom; things most people could probably do for themselves but are too lazy to. But that's where she comes in.

Now faced with ghosts from his own past, Strike takes on a case unlike any he's ever seen before. It could very well cost him his life, but at the end of the day, a quick buck is more important, right?

Author's Note: This is a complete rewrite of 'Equestrian Noire: Echoes of the Past'

Author's Note: Contains use of vulgar language

After discovering a package filled with a strange-smelling plant on her porch, Twilight finds a note inside saying to smoke it with the glass device included. She has no idea what's going to happen, but like a good faithful student, she sends her findings to Princess Celestia.

The Kingdom of Zaphzia is at war. The restored Prince of Lake City has ordered an invasion of the cossack nation with the goal of rebuilding the long-dead River Empire. The forces of Lake City and her allies have advanced deep into the Evi Valley, but their advance has halted. The small town of Griffmut has stopped its advance toward Kaiv.

Oleksander Clawkiv and the griffons of his company must hold out, for if Griffmut fell Kaiv would fall. It has been a month since the battle around the village began and this final night would decide the battle and possibly decide the war.

After a fight with her marefriend Rarity, Twilight decides to drink her problems away.

A big thanks to kits for proofreading and overall helping me a lot with the story.

The erogenous 3rd edition. It's 30 percent longer, 300 percent better edited, 3000 percent more ethically dubious, and still narrated by Steven Fry.

It's that special time of the month again for the Elements of Harmony; the time when they get together for a Truth or Dare game of a more questionably pure nature. From long kept secrets, to reflecting on parties they can barely remember, their three years of friendship have changed them. For better or worse, they were still deciding on that.

This game will be different. Most likely for the worse, but that's what drinking before the sun sets can do. Or maybe them being hornier than usual. Or secretly planning each others sex lives. Or falling in love with each other. Or all four. Most likely all four.

Twilight wants to go out on her first date, but will alcohol and the raunchy advice of her friends help? Rainbow badly wishes to sedate her loins, or maybe she's looking for something more? What exactly, is Rarity planning for this night? Should they really add weed to the equation?

The Elements all have desires they haven't quite realized they have had, and a day long exchange of sex jokes and tension might lead to events that are out of their control. It was in their control once.

Our innocent little ponies seem to have sucked in too much Seth Rogen, but that's okay.

Right?...

It's Archer with ponies.

This story is a sequel to Stay Golden

There are two things the Canterlot elite care about: blood and coin. At least, that is what a little filly has heard all her life. Young Marigold desires both... and with a strange amulet maybe she can have such things.

The dark shape beckons her, as does her own bloodlust. Her greed demands to be fed, and darker magics are willing to help her gain her fill of riches and ruin alike in the dour city of Manehattan.

If only the price was not a city.

A version of this story was scrapped and presented in a chapter of 'Missing Pages & Scrapped Footnotes'. The cover was commissioned from PurpleGrim40. Contribute to the TVTropes page! This is the SFW version of "Stay Golden" which I consider it the better, uncensored story. Posting permission granted by Majin Syeekoh. Edited by MissyTheAngle, Hellblazer, and Muggonny.

A week ago, Appleoosa Station suffered a critical reactor failure that resulted in the station's complete destruction. By absolute miracle, a single tramp freighter piloted by a brave young pegasus escaped the destruction - and carried two hundred of the station's residents to safety in its hold.

Young Scootaloo has been widely celebrated for her bravery, ingenuity and talent in saving so many lives.

Problem is, the version of the story she insists on isn't the same as the official accounts.

Written for the Science Fiction contest.
