Shortly before Anonymous is set to operate his food tent during the Summer Sun Celebration, Twilight comes to him with an urgent request to temporarily assist in reforming the former Queen of the Changelings. He initially refuses, but eventually begrudgingly gives in, choosing to trust Twilight's judgement in spite of his ill feelings toward Chrysalis, who isn't fond of him either. Can friendship and kindness bloom where none is permitted?

set in a wacko universe where Chrysalis tried to invade again after the Season 6 finale

“Please look after my children.”

Pear Butter’s last words were spoken to the stranger who found their crash: the cruel, otherworldly siren named Adagio Dazzle, who sees in her death a golden opportunity.

What starts as a plan to raise willing minions for sustenance and protection goes… a little differently than Adagio had in mind.

My entrance in the Dialogue Only Contest.

Technically a prequel to my other fic, The Twilight Prince: Redux, and uses common worldbuilding, but should be readable as a stand alone one-shot.

All at once, I lost everything in my life, and was swept away to a new world in the body of this small... horse... thing. What now? Will I be able to find new meaning in this new world? Will I be able to get over the loss I've experienced? Will I ever confront that deep dark secret that I keep even from myself?

...and will I ever get used to not having hands?

Wooo my first fic ever! Always been a big fan of HiE fics so decided to give it a shot myself. Hopefully it isn't too depressing at the start, I have some cute ideas for some wholesome moments later on.

Equestria. An incredible place. A place of friendships and stories, of hope and belief, of life and creation.

Times change, mountains crumble to dust, yet Equestria stood tall even against the passing of time. It may have lost much, or changed beyond memory, but the heart was never touched, never once even grazed by tyrant or hero alike.

This is the tale of the two wayward 'long way around' time travelers that meet right on the precipice of the final beginning to share some final words before they go.

Godspeed.

This story is a sequel to The Pony Guard: Rainbow Rocks

It is time for the upcoming Friendship Games against their long time rivals, Crystal Prep Academy. But, when the Magic Mirror in Equestria begins acting strangely and traps Kion and Twilight at Canterlot High, the rest of the Lion Guard come on over in an effort to figure out what happened. Along the way, they meet up with Sunset Shimmer and the Rainbooms, who are also struggling to understand how the magical "pony-ups" work.

As if preparing for the games and trying to launch the investigation isn't enough, their discovery has come to them discover that the two curious also investigating the magic mystery happen to be both... Twilight Sparkle and Kion's alternate human forms.

In the battle of competition, who will win? Or will whatever strange magic flowing around will cause more problems and uncover something that might be too powerful and sinister for both the new Twilight and Kion to handle?

After a long career of study, Twilight could finally stand on her own, but the gears of fate didn't stop turning. a few weeks later,（the end of s9e26）, a fleet of ships from the East arrived in Equestria, accompanied by a long-planned conspiracy in front of Twilight. Will she be able to go through the trials and tribulations of traveling to the mysterious land of Seresia, experiencing a whole new culture, and making new friends while defeating an unprecedented evil force?

Hello everyone I don't know English well, and to be honest, I use a translator. So let's get to the most important thing, this is not my story and I am not the author of the story, I just want to share a wonderful story that you may like.
"Even at the very beginning of life, people have at least something that belongs to them besides themselves. Over time, the amount of this "something" only accumulates, its own territory, things, prepared solutions appear. And now I've suddenly lost all that alluvial layer. I don't have anything, including even an idea of how the world I'm in works. On the one hand, this is a new beginning, and my current state is closest to absolute freedom. On the other hand, it's scary."

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.
