Rainbow Dash has a huge upcoming show with the Wonderbolts that she has been working on for moons. Fluttershy knows that despite her fright, she must cheer in the lost crowd, to show Rainbow how much she truly is supported and cared. However, being a cheerleader isn't quite as easy for such a shy mare. This story is posted on Ao3 from the account Lynneclipse in the story "Butterflies flying" which is a flutterdash oneshot story. This is the first story I posted on that, that I wanted to share here.

pluperfect, n. the past perfect verb tense.

pluperfect, adj. more than perfect; excessively precise or complete.

A weekend with all her friends away, a shelf full of books, and Haycartes' Method- the spell that lets a pony see a book from the inside. It seemed like a perfect relaxing weekend for Twilight Sparkle- with a little tweak to the spell, that is.

Then she woke up inside the story... as the main character... with the main character's memories... and the main character's thoughts trying to override her own...

... and she can't remember how to get back out.

Another daily-writing attempt combined with reading new books.

It’s that time of year again. Hearth’s Warming Day is nearing, and Twilight has a special surprise for her family. Ever since Twilight and Rainbow Dash got married and took Scootaloo under their wing, the young filly would always hide away in her room during the holidays, every year, after seeing a present labeled “To Scootaloo, from Mother and Father”, leaving her confused, saddened, and angry.

But this Hearth’s Warming celebration is different. Not only is Twilight surprised by what she finds, but she also realizes that it is, in fact, the best Hearth’s Warming Day ever.

Flurry Heart had continuously struggled to keep and maintain true friendships her entire life. Never knowing who to trust, she constantly looked for a place she truly belonged. With an off-handed suggestion, Flurry Heart decides to attend a new school.

Upon arrival she is met with new potential friendships and challenges. With the help of the Mane Six and some new friends (and acquaintances) she tries to gain a better understanding of friendship by looking at the history of Equestria itself.

my B story for Pride Month 2022. it's still Pride Month somewhere!

the first draft of this story was an entry in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting "B is for Bisexual" Contest

There is something you need to know.

When you go out there inflicting harm to yourself, you're harming me as well. Sometimes things don't go how you'd like them to go, it's a part of life. Eventually, we move on, learn from our mistakes and accidents, and hold our heads high.

Nopony is perfect, and you have nothing to prove to me, or anypony else.

I love you just the way you are.

A distress call issues from a mansion in the snow-capped peaks of the Crystal Mountains. One of the six young residents is reporting evidence of a changeling among them. The Royal Guard rallies to their remote location with all haste, but they are days away—they have charged Detective Pesco and his apprentice Bluebird with investigating the scene in advance.

There's nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. Identity is a delicate thing, and the changeling's isn't the only one on the brink of unraveling.

A novel-length mystery (social deduction, closed room, limited suspect pool) with an emphasis on character drama. Entirely original cast split among canonical and semicanonical MLP species: ponies, griffons, reindeer, zebra—and among them, the changeling.

Assumed to take place prior/alternative to the changeling reformation in season 6.

What if you are no good? What if you mess up? These thoughts plague your mind just before a show which leads into a panic attack. It seems like the show will have to be cancelled, until Pipp steps in. Your nerves settled after reassuring words and calming breathing exercises by your close friend, amidst this persuasion even comes something more.

This is a fic based on the Time Loop Files, the format of which was first codified by Innortal on fanfiction.net.
Here's a brief guide.
The basic idea is, one character (the Anchor, usually the main character of a fictional setting) is looping back to the very first moments of their parent series every time either they die or some kind of time limit expires. They of course end up monumentally stir crazy given enough time.
Eventually others start to loop as well.
The reset is not always perfect. Sometimes a loop's history will be different to the "prime" loop, or canonical plot.
"Crossover" or "Fusion" loops also occur, randomly. These can involve the home loopers having a guest, or the anchor for one universe spending time in another, or replacements of one character by another.
Vacation Loops are where the Anchor (or others) decide/s "buck it" and lets off steam by doing whatever comes to mind. There's little or no attempt to maintain the original timeline.

In addition, and particularly more recently, it should be known that this story has a collaborative element to it - people may submit loop ideas or loops, ideally at the Spacebattles thread (a link to the current version of which is on the Trope page), and they may become included.

There's two page image options, thanks to Filraen - the current page image has been edited by the original creator from this work of theirs.. The other one is here:
