The worth of a dragon is measured by their hoard, so what happens when a dragon finds something so valuable as to make all other hoards small by comparison, but so precious they cannot keep it for their own?

A young dragon discovers the answer when she finds the priceless treasure kept by the Sisters of Song.

A tiny alicorn, named Cadenza.

A guest author part of the Cadence of Cloudsdale series by Skywriter, set several decades before the second chapter of The First Time You See Her and the blessed Sister Kale.

Twilight Sparkle just can't find enough time in the day. She has to study friendship for the Princess, hang out with her five friends, and juggle her own hobbies and interests besides. But when a novel solution presents itself in the form of an experimental new spell, will it solve her time crunch, or will she be distracted even further?

With the successful adoption of nearly two dozen little green fillies to loving homes across Equestria, only three tiny weirdos remained in Ponyville's recently erected orphanage. For Anon, one of those unadopted ponies, that was perfectly acceptable.

Unfortunately for him, he doesn't really have a say in the matter.

imagine being an earth pony that craved to slip the surly bonds of earth lmao

Celestia had come to hate the fragrance of dark coffee. Because it had meant Twilight was up. 

Rainbow Dash's life is full of colour: of sunrises and sunsets that dance, of skies so blue you can taste them, of prisms that fracture light and fill one's soul with rainbows. Truly, it is a life where she couldn't ask for more.

Why do ponies fear that? It's as if they're scared of beauty. Or maybe scared of her, possibly.

If only they'd let her enlighten them. But maybe today will be a luckier day...

I know I made promises about what my 50th fic would be. Trust me, I do have them in mind and I will finish writing and publish them, for your sakes and mine. I just didn't want to write two romance stories in a row, that's all, and I figured that I could shake things up a little and try something new.

Thanks to Flashgen for helping me write this. And my sincerest thanks to Hay Tea for making this possible.

Every time Luna falls asleep, her lover vanishes. Every morning, she must find who he's replaced.

Sex tag for allusions to sex off-screen and mentions of stallion's equipment. You know the drill. Better safe than sorry.

Written for Zontan as part of a Christmas fic exchange. The prompt he gave was "I want a story about a sympathetic villain protagonist. Tempest, Nightmare Moon, Starlight, Chrysalis, etc - so long as they're out there doing villainous things for good reason."

This is finally it, Spike's decided; he's not going to let the sun sink one more time without finally wooing the unicorn of his dreams! He's been scheming and conniving, and despite his prior stumbles and false starts, this is it! The ultimate plan to win Rarity's heart!

Or so he hopes. Twilight's concerned for her young companion, and does her best to mitigate the effects of his "perfect plans" that she suspects might be misguided to start with. Why do her efforts seem so intent, though? Not even Twilight knows, but maybe some insight into the duo's past can shed some light on the situation. As two close friends of hers' seem to be on a collision course, Twilight has to face the harrowing truth - someone's going to be hurt, no matter how much she might try to prevent it. All she can do is rally couage - in others, and herself.
