One day you were living an ordinary, dreary life. The next, you were in a magical world of friendship and ponies. Your new life took a lot of getting used to, but you eventually found happiness in your new friends, particularly the ruler of Equestria herself, Princess Celestia. Then one day, you found yourself somehow saving the world, and Celestia wanted to thank you by offering you one request. Feeling content with your life, you decide to make the best use of the request that you can think of by helping Celestia with whatever seems to be bothering her. But getting Celestia to open up to you about her troubles may be more difficult than you first imagined. Tea for two it is, then.

Spike had never thought he would meet his birth parents, he had been with Twilight for quite sometime now and he was starting to lose hope that he'd ever meet them. But when he goes to the Dragon Lands to see the Migration, he not only meets a kind dragon who helps him through the place, but he also helps find someone he never thought would get to meet..

A mother will do a lot for her child, even give them up if it meant them having a safer life growing up, despite the obvious pain that comes for the parent.

That pain is something Queen Chrysalis has gone through for eighteen years, but now the time is upon them, and she wants her daughter back. Even if that means invading Canterlot during a royal wedding.

(Featured on 18/10/2015, the first day! Thank you!)

Change is now a printed book, information here: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/732008/i-got-a-thing-change-is-now-a-physical-book

In Cloudsdale, almost everyone that lives there can fly. The very few that can fly are visitors and one resident: A human with the ability to walk on clouds. When taken in by a young Rainbow Dash, he gains new family and friends.

Follow him on his story to learn more about himself as well as the world he now lives in.

*Set on Teen because I don't trust myself.*

It's true, Celestia has a lot on her plate: the stewardship of Canterlot High School has recently fallen into her lap; her dear younger sister has recently started a job at the very same high school; and the details of her romantic life are... best left unsaid. Any sane individual wouldn't want to add a child to that mix, but those adorable bright blue eyes were irresistible.

Contest Entry for the "Dialogue Only Contest"

Luna is worried about falling to darkness again and Celestia suggests retiring.

Story takes places before and during Season 9 Episode 1 and includes dialogue from the episode painsteakinly edited. Sex tag added for a single comment that might be perceived as lewd.

Only a few days have passed since magic's restoration and when it comes to the little things, Pipp is still trying to adjust. Minor details like 'all of Zephyr Heights still knows I couldn't really fly' and 'I went outside and the dirt got me.' The royal family's reputation still needs a touch of repair, and that's why her mother is considering whether to send the siblings away for a while. Just until the gossip cools down.

Zipp wants to go investigate the new. Pipp would like to have her status quo back, thank you very much. So they can really fly now? Why does that mean things have to change?

...and maybe she can also make... lightning? Electricity? As in 'that stuff which keeps my phone, and therefore me, alive'?

The new might have possibilities. Which includes an increased chance of exile.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

Princess Celestia gets legit deaded by everyone's favorite bacon head.

It has been nearly a thousand years since Twilight Sparkle died. Celestia and Luna are gone. The Holy Equestrian Diarchy, ruled by a bigoted and brutal theocracy, has driven ponies apart and divided them along tribal lines. Unicorns are driven from society, feared and hated.

The lessons of friendship, painstakingly written down in the journal of friendship by Princess Twilight and her friends, have been warped and twisted to fit the Diarchy's hateful ideology. But to the average pony, this is the truth and reality of the world they live in, beset on all sides by enemies monstrous and magical.

Emberglow, a young pegasus mare, aspires to join the elite Knights, magically enhanced warriors dedicated to the holy Saints worshiped by the state religion. Can she uncover the lies and deceptions that have led the world to this bitter place?

Note on timing: I began writing this long before Season 9 aired, so none of those events happened as far as the narrative of this story is concerned.

Edit: Featured 8/7/20! Yay and Thanks!

Takes place in the IDW comics continuity, immediately after the Discord arc. If you have not read issues 1-10 already, then please do so or this story will not make sense.

Discord has been reformed once again. Following his attempt to destroy all magic, he has done much to come to terms with his actions. Though he is accepted by pony society, he still prefers a life of isolation as it was the only life he ever knew for centuries. Yet that solitary life is about to be uprooted when none other than Izzy Moonbow, the very pony who had mercy on him in the first place, comes knocking at his door and inviting him to have holiday dinner with her friends in Maretime Bay.

Suddenly, Discord is thrown back to the days where he had friendship, the day he had love…the day he had Fluttershy. He doesn’t feel like he is ready to be given a second chance yet, but Izzy will not give up on him….
