Pinkie Pie loves her friends.

She's very good at showing this, too.

Even if it seems like there's nothing anypony can do—least of all her—she'll be there for you.

Sirens are natural predators. Sleek, powerful, and cunning, once something is in their proverbial sights, its life can be measured in seconds. Most of the time they prey on fish or seals, but sometimes they like to stalk more exotic fare...

Nightmare Moon has been banished and Luna is free from her control but it has left her feeling morose. What has happened to the world she once knew? Where does she stand now that she is free from the influence of her darker side? Seeking answers she visits the old castle's courtyard and finds something she never expected.

We all have destinies, Trixie. There's no doubt about that.

But it is our actions that makes our destinies, not what people tells us.

(Sad, uplifting story)

Shining Armor and Princess Cadance have been married for 3 years and now they came to a decision. They want a foal. The names have been listed, and the future has been planned, but when they encounter a creature strange to Equestria in need of a family, what then?

All fathers are proud of their children since the day they were born.

Even those who are adopted, fathers are proud of their children.

But sometimes even when they are so proud of their children going the right way that they were shown.

Sometimes it is best to stop.

Humans aren't nearly as robust as ponies. Simple gestures such as hugs, pats on the back, and hoof bumps are all well and fine when it's another pony on the receiving end. With a creature a fraction of their mass, ponies often forget how fragile others can be.

A man reflects on his fragility during a routine checkup, and realizes that he might not be the only one affected by simple actions one might take for granted.
