Twilight is summoned to Canterlot Castle at the behest of a letter from Princess Celestia. Is it a test? A warning? Or something that could potentially alter the course of the next thousand years for the young Princess?

The first time Maud meets Trixie, she thinks she's an egotistical narcissist, and Trixie thinks Maud's an emotionless robot with no worries. Funny how first impressions change...

Granny Smith founded a humble farming village; it was her son, Bright Mac, and his best friend, Burnt Oak, who seized their chance and turned it into a thriving town. Now Burnt Oak tells the three Apple siblings the truth about their father's legacy.

Written as part of National Pony Writing Month 2018.

Sunshine Smiles is totally a serious businesspony. Totally! Like, prestigious enough for all those Canterlot types, you know? Um.

Fluttershy put down the marker pen and frowned at her calendar. “I just thought: When is your birthday, Discord?”

On the sofa, Discord stopped eating his saucer and stifled a chuckle. “Birthdays? Come now, Fluttershy. What makes you think the Master of Chaos wastes his time on birthdays?”

Becoming a Wonderbolt Reserve is probably the best thing that's ever happened to Rainbow Dash, and she doesn't want her party celebrating it to end. Fortunately Pinkie Pie won't rest until Rainbow Dash decides the party's over. And she hasn't said that yet.

But how should two ponies carry on partying when the rest of the party has gone home? Pinkie Pie knows the answer: a race. In the end there's more on the line and on Dash's mind than simple celebration or victory, though.

When Adagio turned up shortly after the Battle of the Bands with apparently no memory of ever being a siren, Sunset wasn’t convinced right away. But since then, she and the former siren have grown very close and carved out new lives for themselves. They’re stable, and happy with each other.

Until Adagio starts remembering.

The calm certainty of the Apple family's morning routine is shattered when Sugar Belle pays a surprise visit, only to find Big Mac in bed with another mare. But that doesn't make any sense to Applejack, and she takes it upon herself to answer the question on her mind.
