Over the countless years, ponies have become almost monotonous to Princess Celestia. Then along comes Anon, so strange and laid back, and he treats her like anypony else. She'd forgotten what that felt like, and finds she quite enjoys it. They have a very enjoyable evening together as their friendship blossoms.

This story made for the artist Enonnnymous in response to the drawing in the cover.

The prospect of meeting an alien has always fascinated Rainbow Dash. With countless worlds out there beyond the stars, who is to say that extraterrestrial life doesn't exist? What would they be like? Would they be just like her, but with a gross third eye? Would they be sturdy enough to beat her in a fight, or quick enough to beat her in a race? Would they be malevolent and try to conquer Equestria with their DEADLY SPACE LASERS?

Yeah, you're none of those things. She's a bit disappointed.

If you were to get sent to another world, you would probably hope that you'd wind up in a place like Equestria. Unfortunately, things don't always work out like that, and you instead woke up in the incredibly dangerous Dragon Lands. When the climate, wildlife, or countless pools of lava aren't trying to kill you, the local dragon population is.

Thankfully, Dragon Lord Ember has been personally seeing to it that nothing happens to her country's newest resident. Keeping you safe isn't easy, but she considers it well worth it.

And you'll do all that you can to support her.

Today just seemed like any other day on Sweet Apple Acre for Applejack. She tilled the fields, fed the farm animals, fixed broken pieces of the barn but then, she saw something she'll never forget.

Just on the edge of the Everfree Forest, there was a bloodied and bruised filly on the verge of death. Applejack's world would soon be changed forever after she decided to foster this young and very unique foal, who's current condition suggest a terrible background. A background that is catching up to them.

Now, this filly will have to learn to move on from her old life, make new friends and find her special talent. A difficult task made even harder by the monsters of her past, lingering in her mind like ghosts. They'll come back for her, and they'll burn everything down to achieve...

Anarchy.

Also, the cover art was revamped. I felt like the old one had too much dead space, so I figured something out! Let's see if you can guess who's on the cover art now!

Written for the May Pairing Contest 2023 (Disqualified for being too long and not complete by the deadline) (Story takes place roughly in Season 3 and 4 and then hyper extends further by the end)

Twilight Sparkle and Prince Blueblood have a past. It's an innocent past, but still a past. Following Twilight's perceived failure in the Crystal Empire, she seeks a new task for redemption.

Little does she know, she herself may be a friendship problem and it's up to her to make things right.

As old feelings resurface, it'll require a strong will and some good acting to finish the task at hoof... If only she can manage to help Blueblood without falling in love with him.

Most Earth ponies know how to cook familiar foods, but what to do when they face the baffling array of frozen foods in a grocery store on Earth?

Candy Apples has that problem and reasons that other ponies would, as well. So why not start a cooking channel to help ponies and anybody else who wants to watch?

Her channel is more of a success than she could have ever imagined.

Why isn't there a tag for Candy Apples? She's the background mare you should be thinking about.

Despite the challenges of being student counselor, Trixie has grown to enjoy her time working at the School of Friendship. However, all of that may be at risk when news of Princess Twilight Sparkle's sudden passing arrives at her doorstep in the form of the daily newspaper. With the students and staff too busy for the morning news, she must make a difficult decision that could put the entire school at risk, and maybe even Equestria. The question now, is she ready to tell Starlight what happened? And is Starlight ready to handle it?

Disclaimer: No, i did not, and will not, explain how Twilight died. That will remain up to the reader.

Yet another story written for one of The Nameless One's writing challenge. Since the theme for this one was much broader and I had a lot more time than last time (Shopping Pressure), I took the chance to make it a sneak peek into my bigger story: Divided We Fall (previously Friendship is Sadness). It happens within the same universe and is made to show how the story will be like, so I hope you enjoy it! Also, Trixie was surprisingly difficult to write.

Everypony has fears. Everypony handles them in their own way. But for some ponies, traumatic foalhood experiences can transcend into paranoia even into adulthood. This is the case with Rainbow Dash and the dentist. Faced with an excruciating and seemingly incurable toothache, Dash is left with few options: Face one of her worst and longest-lived fears, or risk her friends finding out that their oft-proud and fearless friend is, indeed, obsessively afraid of something.

Michael's life is devoid of relationships. Be they familial, work, or romantic. But on one lucky night, he's given an opportunity.

On their twenty-seventh anniversary, Celestia and her human husband share a moment in the middle of the night.

So many Human X Pony stories are centered around the beginning of the relationship. I had a thought about what one might look like years and years on. This was my attempt at such a story. It's a shameless bit of romantic fluff with my favorite Sun Horse but I had fun writing it and I hope you enjoy reading it!

Thanks to a dear friend for editing! As always, PLEASE leave commentary/criticisms. I'm here to learn.
