Ava Ray, named for her wings and the way the sun made her mane glow, has had lots of big dreams throughout her life. The more she heard, "You can't," the more determined she was to prove she could. Now that Ava is all grown up and working as a teacher, she gets to watch little foals discover their own purpose. And yet... She is still seeking her true destiny. But each path seems to lead to a dead end. For the first time in her life, she might be running out of dreams. Maybe they were right. What am I here for anyway? Do I even have a dream anymore?

For the son of a hero and descendant of Starswirl's blood, Blizzard Warning has a lot to live up to. But how in Equestria can somepony be great when their cutie mark only brings problems? The young colt seems to have a knack for casting magic to control natural forces such as the wind, water, fire, and earth, but it always seems to spiral out of control into a literal disaster.

Things have always been manageable because of his father's intervention, but as Blizzard gets older, it has become more apparent to his parents that he must learn to use his talent appropriately. So Blizzard gratefully accepts the opportunity to go to Starswirl Academy as a student to receive the best professional education to help him succeed in life. Maybe along the way he'll learn to make some lasting friends, learn to make good decisions, and find his place in the world and his true potential.

A story about self-discovery and acceptance with the help of friendly guidance.

Rated Teen for light swearing, violence, and possible sexual/romantic themes, just to be safe.

This story is a sequel to New Neighbor

You see that pink-haired girl in front of the statue every day at school, and you want to go up and talk to her. But she seems far too introverted to give you a second glance. So, really, all you need to do is get her into her comfort zone. But when a string of events brings you closer than you'd expected, this shy little sweetheart may just shock you behind closed doors . . .

The second installment of "The Steam Collection". Second-person present-tense perspective set in the EG universe. Rated 'Teen' for some sexy, steamy moments.

Twilight's latest creation was meant to allow them a glimpse of civilizations not of their world. What they hear however, is more saddening, beautiful, and inspiring than they could have imagined.

Ponies picking up human transmission story for fun. Hope you enjoy.

To better herself, Luna has studied Twilight's actions and friendship reports almost religiously. However, she never expected to find the tables turned and be under the microscope herself, nor did she realize that a pony would go so far for one they called friend.

While on her way from Zecora's hut in Everfree Forest and to her cottage, Fluttershy comes upon two small creatures she had never seen before: both of whom are made of stone, a little larger than fillies and colts and--despite their beastly appearances--act and behave most friendly toward the mare.

All the while, two unicorn Royal Guards patrolling outside the city of Canterlot encounter a giant bi-pedal, stone-composed, yet courteous, knight, who kindly seeks their help in seeking an audience with the monarch(s) of their land in finding out where is he. Both princesses are in for a big surprise in meeting with him.

But it doesn't stop there: Soon all living Equestria will learn with astoundment that there are several more of these stone-like giants suddenly appearing all over their world, without any seeming explanation.

This story is a sequel to Memoirs of a Royal Guard

From the outside looking in, life has never been better for Silent Knight. He is the first pony in a long line of Royal Guard ancestry to earn a commission, he has a loving mare by his side, and he bears the kingdom’s highest honor for bravely risking it all to protect Princess Luna. The future shines bright with potential, but the shadows of the past lurk at every twist and turn that lies ahead.

Guilt, anger, and regret are constantly at war in the depths of Silent Knight’s mind. Despite his best efforts to enjoy the life he has, he finds himself trapped in the past, reliving the moment when his unit was ambushed and his ponies were killed. He refuses to show any weakness, instead hiding everything behind a tough face to protect himself and those he loves. But his true feelings—and what he plans to do with them—shackle everything he holds dear with chains forged in secret.

Secrets of a Royal Guard is a comedy series with romantic, dramatic, and adventure elements. It features an original character cast and their interactions with the princesses they protect. It is recommended that readers be familiar with Memoirs of a Royal Guard.

Quill & Blade Universe

Luna has been Vice Principal of Canterlot High School for years, and she couldn't be happier. So she tells herself, and so she will keep telling herself, until she believes it.

However, after the Battle of the Bands, Luna finds a kindred spirit in the last place she would ever have thought to look.

And that kindred spirit isn't afraid to tell Luna what she really thinks.

When Equestria accidentally opened a portal to another world, they discovered a new species: humans. Their arrival changed the world. For the Equestrian Ponies, it heralded a great cultural and technological jump needed from their stagnating way of life. For the Gryphons, however, they represented something baser: an opportunity to increase food stock and finally have a 'friendlier' predator species to ally themselves with.

For Gilda, one of the the humans was Ancestor-sent, a soul she would protect for bringing much joy to her life. And when a chain of events force her to accompany her human to Equestria, she recalls the circumstances of their meeting, the trials they pass through, the friendship forged through fire, and love born out of understanding under the harsh skies of the Kingdom.

This is her story.

"You are mine!"
