As far as Flurry is concerned, she's a perfectly normal filly with a pretty ordinary life. Sure, her house is somewhat larger than average and maybe there's the whole 'horn and wings' thing. But she goes to school with everypony else, her parents both do mostly-boring work for the local government and just like nearly every other firstborn, her father obsessively recorded her foalhood.

The photo albums are bad enough.

The crystal showcase galleries may have gone a little too far.

Absolutely not an entry for the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad 2024 Competition, but was inspired by its existence.

Trixie Lulamoon is an average teenager, yearning for a simple, ordinary life and a sweet romance with her crush. During what Trixie had hoped would be a typical, unmagical Canterlot High school dance, her life is thrown into turmoil as seemingly unstoppable robots besiege the dance. In a desperate escape, a superhero-clad equine doppelgänger comes to her rescue. Together, they embark on a quest to uncover the origin of the menace, an indomitable and seemingly all-powerful entity known as Proto who seeks to destroy all Trixie everywhere.

Featuring Trixies from the Lunaverse, Skitchverse, Fallout Equestria, Manehattanverse and others! Don't worry if you're unfamiliar with these stories. I've done my best to make them as accessible as possible. And I have a quick bio of each Trixie in the author notes.

This story will have four arcs. The first arc is finished, and I will be posting each chapter once a week each Friday.

The heroic life isn't necessarily glamorous. Ben didn't get to fight the most recent alien to pop out of a pocket wormhole, because it collapsed shortly after arrival. The weird quadruped (a hand at the end of its tail, eyes where its nostrils should be) is currently doing nothing more than sleeping the trip off. But the Plumbers need to know what it's doing here -- and as long as it's asleep, there's only one means of interrogation available. Which requires using one of his least-favorite forms, but... that's the heroic life for you.

It's just that someone's already invaded that alien's dream.

And she has no problems with telling Ben how bad he is at it.

Being somepony's friend can require accepting the... quirkier parts of their personality: something Rarity is all too aware of, especially when it comes to the work involved in accepting hers. So discovering that Fluttershy possesses -- shall we say, a 'special interest' -- simply means that the designer needs to accompany her to the convention. Just to make sure the pegasus isn't going to get hurt.

But a mare of dignity and taste does not casually wander into a 'special interest' gathering and emerge unaffected. And as it happens, neither does Rarity.

Rated C for Conifer Crackfic.

Flitter thought she knew what it meant to be strong, after meeting Fluttershy.

But when the dead start to walk again, they're both going to need it.

Estee has technically approved this travesty of a classic story, accompanied by a slightly raised eyebrow, a look that could wither a freight train, and a sigh that still echoes mournfully in the remote corners of spacetime.

The first draft of this story appeared in the October 2020 Writeoff, where it came in next to last.

This story is also a part of Racc’s Crackfic Storm!

Twilight and Trixie are going at each other again. Starlight can't take it anymore. Now that she thinks about it, why are they always fighting? What reason could they have?

A quick comedy story I wrote to keep myself busy. Cover art by Tsitra360.

There are things which Applejack just knows in her heart, and chief among them is that Strawberry Sunrise is one of the worst ponies ever to fly slightly above the surface of the planet. She can see no reason whatsoever for the pegasus to have that greenhouse, the produce stand which has never been touched by Sun, and who can even figure out where her money comes from? There's no point to that mare's existence. None whatsoever.

That's Applejack's honest opinion. The truth is somewhat different.

Some customers only come out under Moon.

It really isn't Twilight's fault. She certainly didn't intend those exact results and given everything else which was happening at the time, there was no chance to fix it! Besides, it was just reasonable to expect that Ponyville's natural tendencies would solve things on their own. Probably without even noticing, and most likely with a squish.

But that clearly didn't happen. Because when it comes to that particular experiment's aftermath, the worst-case scenario just came through.

Fluttershy knows about the frog.

Rated C for vitamins Crackfic.

Applejack had heard the things that Pinkie had said about her father, and they went best unrepeated. Applejack had also heard the things that Pinkie deliberately hadn't said, and they'd given her nightmares for a solid month. No pony should act in that way to another pony.

So, when Igneous comes by looking for Pinkie, Applejack has to find a way to send him away again...

(This story is based on an incident referenced in the backstory of Estee's excellent Triptych Continuum, and is an interpretation of how the confrontation between these two ponies could have gone in a very slightly different universe. It may contain spoilers for Triptych. You have been warned.)

The Diarchy has asked -- ordered, really -- Twilight to attend the Zoology Conference. This means meeting the leaders of various nations, along with making a speech. And with Twilight increasingly suspicious about what all of these extra duties might eventually mean, she's becoming desperate to make it all stop.

There's a briefing book. Long lists of things she shouldn't discuss, because doing so would be seen as an insult. And Twilight has just learned about what Applejack calls 'cancel culture'. So if she just offends enough attendees, proving that she isn't suited for this sort of thing, then she's home-free! It's not as if being offensive is hard.

Unless you're Twilight Sparkle...
