Tied for third place in the Cozy Glow group's 4th annual contest. Prompt: Cozy Glow vs. Sir David Attenborough.

Of note, this work is not intended to make light of Sir David Attenborough, who remains a British national treasure even though he hates being called that.

This story is a sequel to Hot Dragon Inaction

Ember and Spike's relationship has been getting pretty serious, the level of serious that starts to mandate certain conversations. Such as whether, if they do settle down, whether they want to bring a clutch of drakes into the family. The main problem is that the two of them are Busy with a capital B, and there's the question of whether they could make parenthood work with their respective packed schedules and the distances that are often between them.

However, there's another couple who has had a pretty hectic schedule, and their foal turned out pretty alright. And so Dragon Lord Ember and Spike the Brave and Glorious are now on the first train to the Crystal Empire to ask Cadance and Shining Armour for parenting advice.

And maybe they'll take some extra lessons along the way.

One chance encounter leads to another, where Sour Sweet meets the demure Coco Pommel.

But will things turn out sweet or sour?

You don't really need to read "Sugar and Spice" first to understand what's going on, but it'd be appreciated.

A serious meeting of the Shadowbolts is derailed when it's revealed Sugarcoat has been dating Pinkie Pie.

Naturally, there's a perfectly logical explanation for this.

That the prior genius plan failed isn't her fault. Chrysalis can only think in brilliance, so how is she supposed to anticipate what the moronic ponies might come up with? So now there's some kind of magical law called the Doctrine Of Signatures, which in this context means that if the Bearers have something from her, they can use it as a channel to ward her off? Well, two can play at that game. All she has to do is tap into her diminished minion reserves and send someone out to collect all of their signatures. And once she has the complete set to funnel her own magic through, it's vengeance time.

It's a brilliant plan.

So naturally, she's going to make it rely on an idiot.

Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.

Aria Blaze is a siren without a song or the voice with which to sing it. After a thousand years of taking life for granted, she doesn't know how to live like 'normal people'. That inability to adapt is driving a wedge between her and her sisters.

Lightning Dust has always ever been under someone else's thumb, and her one major attempt to fix things has backfired in the worst way. Now a means of seizing life by the reins is in her hands, and she'll do anything to protect that newfound freedom.

A pair of strangers with something to prove and something to lose. If one is to succeed, the other has to fail. Neither is willing to go down without a fight.

Commissioned by Sunset_Shimmer83. The prompt: Aria Blaze and Lightning Dust get into a fight. The first two chapters are meant to be read in no particular order. Don't know if I pulled that off though. Awesome cover commissioned from AmazingPuffhair!

Her Majesty's Starship Philomena is a generational ship designed to save ponies from the devastation of Equus and ferry them to a new world. The trip will take 150 years: the first generation will carry on the memory of the old world, and the third will set hoof on the new world.

The second generation is ash and engine grease: those born in darkness and destined to die in darkness, who will never know the bounteous fruits of which the hydroponic gardens bear only echoes and promises. Twilight Sparkle is one such middle link, tasked with maintaining the hardware of the ship's onboard AI, Celestia.
