Minuette dances back in time (and space!) due to a mathematical anomaly derived from Pinkie Pie's non-Euclidmare-ian geomaretry. Dr. Hooves* exploits the situation. Derpy challenges the Doctor. And Lyra Heartstrings finds a friend.

Happy Pi day! And one year since my registration here.

Era: Season 3 (the start of).

*Intentionally spelled as Dr. Hooves instead of "Whooves".

"Howdy y'all. It's been a tough year in Ponyville, what with tha' depredations of that trumped-up darn old 'Lord Tirek', but we buckled down, harvested them apples an' made a whole lotta hay."

"Twilight, that don't make much sense," Applejack objected. "We don't grow hay except for personal consumption."

"Hay's a synonym for bits. You made a lot of bits."

"Not enough, or else we wouldn't be filin' this fundraisin' plea."

"Trust me," Twilight said: "This makes sense."

"Don't seem completely honest..."

Featured Story: on 18/11/2021

Image: by me with the site's Applejack image embedded.

Cloud Chaser, amid complications romantic and weather-related, tries to protect her vain, airy sister after they join the Ponyville weather team.

Content Note: Dark tag due to brief allusions to long-past injury to a foal and themes. Past alcohol use mentioned a couple of times.

Era: Pre-Season One right before the Elements of Harmony get together. (See an Index of my canon-compliant tales sorted by Season).

An entry in the Imposing Sovereigns III Competition using the prompt: [(Cloud Chaser) / (Determination)]. As required, Cloud Chaser is in a "position of power" over her minor sister, whom she is determined to take care of. To be fair, "Princess" Flitter is also demonstrating determination about improving herself and getting what she wants. Rainbow Dash shows determination as a leader, but she's not the focus.

Image: See the source link on the image. (If the artist is on here (I saw an account that had been last accessed in 2013), I am glad to contact same and/or change this as necessary.)

- Experience Awe!
- Be staggered!
- And shocked!
- Step right up and read: "[Twenty-Four] Celestia-Perserverance stories [integrated into an overarching tale!] about her toughing out an obnoxious day on the throne while looking forward to a slice of cake." She's getting too old for this. (And Lyra gets un-backgrounded(!))

Era: Takes place during the first episode of Season 1. (See an index of my stories, sorted by My Little Pony Season).

- Why Create Such An Absurd Story?: Fan of Most Everything's contest requested: "I’d still like to see some creative choices rather than, say, forty Celestia-Perserverance stories about her toughing out an obnoxious day on the throne while looking forward to a slice of cake." So, I didn't write forty. I wrote twenty-four vignettes that build upon each other, leaving the rest of you with opportunities.

Content Note: The story suggests that snorting crystal is probably a bad idea.

- This is not exactly a take on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Thousand_and_One_Nights, but the influence is undeniable.

- Contest language: "An entry in Imposing Sovereigns III, using the prompt CELESTIA (character) / PERSEVERANCE (virtue)."

- Image: By me (and using the smiling Lyra (or Amethyst Star) icon from the site's available icons for bookshelves).

The Ponyville rumor mill attempts (badly) to make sense of terrible apocalyptic happenings. Then, we meet the culprits, and finally, we figure out what happened and (hopefully) set things aright.

Trixie is Terrible Rating: Trixie (Indirectly) Causes the Apocalypse: 8 out of 10.

Content Notice: (1) Trixie makes some double-entendres in a paragraph in Chapter two perhaps due to her inability to properly use a thesaurus, (2) Some ponies "die", but that won't stick. (3) minor mention of what is essentially zombification (4) one young pony gets pulled in two directions, (5) sickness, (6) blinding, (7) inebriation, (8) violence at the beginning of chapter 4.

Era: Takes place during Season 7. (See an index of my stories, sorted by My Little Pony Season).

Image: Compiled by me, containing four sub-images with rights only to those sub images: here, here, here, and here.

At Mudbriar's funeral, Starlight Glimmer struggles to be a friend; she and Maud reflect on roads not taken. (Igneous and Pinkie provide flavour, rock and candy-based respectively). Also, there is the mirror lake....

Era: Post-Season 9. (See an index of my stories, sorted by My Little Pony Season).

Note: This site suggests "Mud Briar", but "Mudbriar" is what the fandom wiki uses and, for purposes of this tale, it sounds more poetic.
