Cherry Pie is having a bad day life. She left Equestria in hopes that Earth was better. It's not. Now she's broke, homeless, and grazing on clover.

A rare night drinking alone at your local lesbian joint is steadily sliding into forgettable when you meet a pony. You've never met a pony before. She strikes up a conversation without hesitation, and you find yourself drawn in by her peppy attitude as you talk about culture, dexterity, cherry stems, and intimacy.

Also, in a stunning maneuver of sharp extra-dimensional ambassadorship, you flirt with her.

Following a superbly successful fashion show, Rarity and her model, Anon, are invited to a night of celebration at a supremely exclusive establishment in the skyline of Manehattan. As it's usually open only to elites and celebrities, the two upstarts feel hopelessly out of depth, but they press on together; after all, no matter how much one's worries may weigh them down, they're bound to drift away in the Cosmos.

Tagged T for profanity, alcohol, and one passing allusion to intimacy.

How would you react if you had to stick a fork in your father's ass to save your mother? I don't think you would hesitate much.

Wait, wait, I hear your voice. This is a stupid question, why would such a situation ever happen?

Well, I think whether you do it or not, your childhood would end there.
I did it, but with that, too, a wave of escape and struggle became the cause of my early childhood.

I almost didn't have a childhood, but now I'm here like a little colt, in the other world, or somewhere in cancer. I have to learn to thrive here, and who knows, maybe I can finally have a "normal" childhood.

I wonder if they will accept me as I am, since autistic people are always looked down upon, do I have a chance here? hehe what a stupid question in retrospect... oh oops no spoilers

Thanks dad, that shot was the best gift.
How ironic that other people consider PS or a car the best gift, and I consider a piece of hot olm.

Important! The story makes references to Hungarian and Soviet (Russian) folk tales, and some stories may be inspired by them. If you come across a title you don't recognize, such as "Vuk," please check the author's note at the end of the chapter, where a mostly English summary about the cultural stories will be attached.

The main character is a representation of myself, and intentionally, I leave disabilities, so the character is half-blind and extremely hyperactive (not like Pinkie Pie, but more like Socutalu level).

This story is a sequel to Shining Armor is Anon's Terrible Dad

You are Anon. After waking up to get breakfast, you discover that you’ve been adopted by Twilight Sparkle and her best friends, who are acting strange. You’re going to get to the bottom of this mystery.

In the midst of a nightmare, you're rescued by Luna, the one you hold most dear. In the moments of beloved stillness thereafter, a threshold is crossed that makes you forget you were ever having a nightmare in the first place.

Tagged T for mild violence in the beginning.

This story is a sequel to It's 'Cause You're Always on that Darn Phone

Things have been going well between you and Pipp. Your relationship is healthy, your friends are all supportive, and you even got the approval of her mother, Queen Haven. Now, the two of you are enjoying a leisurely visit to Zephyr Heights together, finally getting to spend some quiet time away from work.

Surely it couldn't hurt to indulge in a little bit of brushing and pampering, right?

Celestia and Anon, having freshly started dating, spend the morning of Hearth’s Warming together. Cel arrives a little earlier than Anon expects her to, but luckily, she is nothing if not accommodating.

The first of my greentexts to be (amateurishly) translated into prose format.
