Starlight isn't a child person. But Sunburst is.

She was not good enough for him.

That was the thought that stabbed through her mind as she watched Sunburst play with Flurry Heart, gently playing with the toddler in front of him, seeming enamored by him as they together danced around the Hearths Warming tree, the younger filly leading her husband around and pointing at the ornaments she put up.

Starlight was never like that with young kids.

Or what it means to be a parent.

Warning: The following story you are about to read contains M/M shipping between two fictional characters that are consenting adults and a brother that is borderline psychotic. This story is currently unedited. If you don't like any of these, you know where the exit button is.

For the first time, Thorax is going to do something he didn't think he would ever be able to do - ask out Spike, his longtime friend, out on a date. He hopes everything would go right, that this might be the beginning of something great between them. When Spike agrees to go out with him, Phyranx will be there to make sure to let Spike know what to expect if it doesn't go well.

This one-shot is for the M/M Shipping Contest II.

Sunny Starscout being evasive? Sprout now unerringly obedient to her every ask? Izzy Moonbow being... well, Izzy?

Something weird is ahoof, and Sherrif Hitch will investigate.

Pray (for his poor little cherub-like sanity) he never finds out what it is.

This is my2nd place entry for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting group's G5 Shipping contest. Thanks to AuroraDawn, Snow Quill and BandyBrony for reviewing/pre-reading!

The summer has ended. A new school year has began. And Sunny has already gotten into a fight with another filly.

After moving into Maretime Bay full time, Izzy notices that Sprout hasn't been around. She soon learns that he left his job and has barely set hoof outside his house since the crystals were brought together.

Convinced that Sprout needs somepony to cheer him up, Izzy takes it upon herself to do the cheering up. But Izzy is the absolute last pony Sprout wants to see, he can't stand her in the slightest.

Unfortunately for Sprout, Izzy isn't the type of pony who takes "No" for an answer. She'll find a way to cheer him up no matter what it takes. And maybe, just maybe, she'll find a way to get inside that icy heart of his.

Rainy days are no fun for Starlight Glimmer, but maybe Sunburst can help her chase the clouds away.

And then they kissed. And Trixie’s heart shattered into a thousand pieces.

Trixie is on the verge of saying something to Starlight. Finally. But then she sees Sunburst and Starlight together, and her world begins to crumble.

Written for the Quills and Sofa 'drama' contest.

Who was Starswirl, before he became the greatest sorcerer of all time? What legacy did he leave behind after he disappeared? Why was he so bad at friendship?

Luster Dawn has never known why. Luckily a certain pony answers it for her.

Luster Dawn has learned a lot about friendship since moving to Ponyville, so she's most surprised to be called in for a meeting with Supreme Ruler Twilight Sparkle one day. And it's not about friendship either.

As it turns out, the subject of Twilight's meeting turns to an interesting topic: Legacy. And she says it's very important that she and Luster Dawn share this talk now.

Luster will soon learn more about her mentor than she ever anticipated learning, and will also learn a thing or two about how one's legacy can be shaped and changed.

Skateboarding is all about rhythm and balance. Thunder has both--until a schoolyard bully upends his life and steals the one sacred spot he can claim as his: the local skate park.

If he wants to get rid of her, he'll have to help her find balance of her own. Falling off a board hurts, but helping someone you hate hurts even more.

A story about tenderpunks, sk8rtrash, and building fragile things that last.
