Applejack arrives home on a cool autumn night to find a particular pink pony sprawled out on her bed. And she's eating her cookies.

Dedicated to Short Stories

A quick oneshot idea I had in the middle of the night that's set just a few days after the season 5 finale.

Starlight is prone to overthinking especially with everything that just happened, it was hard to even imagine she deserved the treatment she was receiving. But no matter how many times Starlight turns away from it all, Twilight is there to reassure her. Twilight wants nothing more than to help Starlight feel like she belongs and understand that she is becoming somepony knew, change is hard and it seems to be hitting Starlight more than others in the current time.

When Lyra finds her old pet fish in the back of the freezer, she sees an opportunity to recapture the glories of her youth.

Lyra and Flipper are back together after ten years. After all, a bit of ice never got in the way of true friendship.

Derpy and Dinky celebrate their first Hearth's Warming in Ponyville, and although Derpy had intended to spend it alone with her daughter, her friends had other ideas and invite the two of them for an earth pony Hearth's Warming dinner.

A Pony Planet story.

Applejack wakes up early, but she doesn’t regret it.

Written for the ApplePie Contest.

Deep in the Royal Library is a book. A terrible book that is said to send whoever reads it mad. A book so dangerous that it has to be hidden away and secured with chains to prevent it from ever being opened.

A book which has just been accidently checked out by Spike on behalf of Twilight Sparkle.

The Star In Yellow is rising once more, and only Rainbow Dash and Spike can save Twilight before it's too late. Ideas live forever. Ponies do not.

This fic is loosely inspired by the 19th century story 'The King In Yellow'.

During a thunderstorm, Derpy comforts Dinky by telling her the story behind the legendary pony causing it.

Apple Bloom wants to grow up. She's sure she does. Surrounded by the family that founded a town, shaped it, and made it what it is today, she finds herself all the more invested in becoming a part of this legacy.

Yet as Apple Bloom's interest in the legacy grows, so does her interest in a pony who never had one.

After all, sometimes there's a good reason to step outside. To fly on your own. To look beyond the herd.

Applejack believes her 25th birthday party will be just like any other birthday party. She ends up being wrong in the sweetest way possible.
