“Tour America by Rail!” the sign said, and so Sweetsong does. Everything she needs for a journey fits into her saddlebags, and there are plenty of trains to choose from if she’s resourceful enough.

There’s nothing quite like having her hooves over the side of an empty gondola watching the world speed by, or looking at the stars overhead through the end bracing on a grain car. Sometimes box cars have their doors left open, and she knows how to jam them so they won’t close en route.

When she gets where the train takes her, she can live off the land or sing and play her guitar for money. When it’s time to move on? There’s always another train.

Wind Whistler, Fizzy, Gusty, and Shady find a mysterious distortion hanging in the air, and Gusty decides to step through. The others follow, finding themselves in an unfamiliar town called Ponyville. The portal separated them, so they must find each other and find a way back to Dream Valley. Along the way, they meet six ponies who seem vaguely familiar...

This story takes place after the finale of Friendship is Magic, but before the epilogue episode. For the G1 ponies, it takes place after the series has ended.

This story is a sequel to Car Wash

Few words in the English language are as terrifying as 'You're a car guy, right?' Minty's Mustang II is on the fritz and she wants an 'expert' opinion. If she wanted that, she really should've called an expert. Instead, she's stuck with me.

Special thanks to Admiral Biscuit for pre-reading!

Minty wants to explain something new to Pinkie Pie.

Like usual, she’s not doing a good job.

This story is a sequel to The other Ponyville (G3/G1 crossover)

Wind Whistler, Fizzy, Gusty, and Shady find themselves stranded in yet another alternate world. The behavior of the portals between worlds is inexplicable, as if they want to keep the four of them from returning to Dream Valley. This world seems to be populated by only earth ponies. They have advanced technology, but magic seems to be entirely absent. They meet seven fillies—Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody, Bright Eyes, Patch, Clover, and Bon Bon—who are willing to guide them through this unfamiliar world. Initially they are fearful that, with no magic, they may be permanently stranded in this world. But Patch reveals a secret that may be the key to finally going home.

This story concludes the saga that started with “Respect the elder generation” and continued with “The other Ponyville.” It is primarily a crossover between the two G1 series, My Little Pony Tales and My Little Pony 'n Friends, although it also contains small elements from G3, G4, and G5. As this is the finale, I’m leaning a little more towards epic and dangerous encounters, moments of darkness, and maybe even a touch of romance. It should still be appropriate for all audiences, but it’s a slight deviation from my norm.

Twilight and Celestia are enjoying a lovely tea party when somepony from Celestia's past arrives.

G1 was kind of nuts, wasn't it?

This story is a sequel to Respect the elder generation

Wind Whistler, Fizzy, Shady, and Gusty are just trying to get home to Dream Valley. A mysterious portal took them to Equestria, where they met six ponies who helped open another portal for them. It was supposed to take them home, but instead they find themselves in another town called Ponyville. Here, they run into familiar names like Pinkie Pie, Spike, and Rainbow Dash. But everything is different. Pinkie Pie is a calm, dependable leader, and Rainbow Dash is an elegant fashionista. They enlist the help of Pinkie Pie, Minty, Rainbow Dash, Princess Rarity, Star Catcher, and others to try to open another portal and finally return to Dream Valley. Meanwhile, Wind Whistler starts to suspect that these unpredictable portals are no accident and may be part of larger events.

This story is primarily a G3/G1 crossover set in the world of G3. It is a sequel to my earlier G4/G1 crossover. It takes place after the end of the G1 series. As for its placement in the G3 timeline, you know the G3 multiverse theory, yes? No? Well, it takes place after "A Very Pony Place." Everything prior to that is canon to this story, however, Rainbow Dash has her 2008-2009 voice, as depicted in the flashbacks in "Rainbow Dash's Special Day." Capisce?

As per usual, you can count on zero sexual content, swearing, violence, or other adult themes in my writing. Completely show-appropriate.

A thousand years before Twilight Sparkle's birth, King Sombra has conquered the Crystal Empire and enslaved its citizens. From there he turns to the land of Unicornia, only for a single unicorn princess to escape his clutches and flee for help to a tiny village called Ponyville.

In Ponyville, Minty the earth pony is living in shame after her accident at the Winter Wishes Festival a few months ago. The plight of the runaway unicorn princess gives her a chance to redeem herself, but can Minty, a pony so clumsy that she seems to destroy everything she touches, save all ponykind from Sombra's menace? Only two things are certain: Ponyville's way of life will be changed forever, and she'll never make this work without a little help.

After all... what are friends for?

Those familiar with the source material -- which is hardly a prerequisite -- will notice that some events have been moved around in time, replaced, or otherwise modified. In particular, the name 'Christmas' has been excised in favor of the winter holiday from Twinkle Wish Adventure, since ponies celebrating Christmas has never once been a thing that made sense. This story is about the characters more than about the exact events (and order of events) as depicted in the animated specials.

As for the citizens of Ponyville, only the ones who showed up in the 2003-2007 (pre-"Core 7") animated specials are counted here. Toola Roola or Princess Peppermint, to pick two random examples from later releases or the massive toyline, do not count. Gem Blossom and Valenshy are also excluded from Ponyville despite their animated appearances, on account of being "jewel ponies."

When I heard ponies had opened a car wash, I had to stop in and investigate. Under normal circumstances, nobody washes my Mustang but me. Considering these abnormal circumstances, is it time to make an exception?

The history of Equestria spans dozens of centuries, and many terrible foes have risen up from the past to threaten the future once more, only to be defeated.

When a vicious and powerful enemy older than any Twilight, her friends, or even the Princesses have faced before returns, they will have to reach out to an ally just as ancient for help... but is she still the heroine she once was?

This story takes place after the end of Season 3.
