A lovestruck knight in Equestria's early days, unconvinced of his own worthiness, decides that he must prove himself to the mare he loves. With Princess Cadence as his guide, he is put on a quest by the Crown to go forth and right wrongs and ease sorrows associated with latent Chaos, all while learning of the Elements of Harmony from the ponies' companion races.

The entire piece is written in iambic pentameter, with the exception of a few English sonnets, which are italicized.

Spike decides he wants some spending money, so he gets a job as an assistant to the local DJ, Vinyl Scratch.

What starts off as a part-time 'errand boy' job, quickly evolves into a close friendship, and may become something more in time. Apparently, they have more in common than they ever would have thought.

A small group of Llamas move into Ponyville. Of course, the woolly South Equestrians have a little bit of trouble adjusting to a very, very strange new world.

SUGGESTED LISTENING MUSIC
Studio Killers - Eros and Apollo (Poncho's Theme)
Studio Killers - All Men Are Pigs (Bonita's Theme)
Studio Killers - True Colours (Bronco's Theme)

Cha Cha (and her twin, Macarena) is based on a G1 non-pony character of the same name developed and sold but eventually forgotten long ago. She has not made an appearance in G4, and I do not believe that llamas will become canon anytime soon. But this is in case they do.

The llama culture is based largely on Peruvian, Chilean, Argentine, and Bolivian cultures. The cuisine and behavior is actual llama behavior, adapted to fit a sentient species. The magic used by llamas is based off of Mayan and Aztec beliefs, but I get most of the ideas (and a few names) from the Incas.

Set directly after the Tirek incident, Fluttershy and Discord are suffering, alone and apart. Fluttershy may have forgiven him, but she feels that she has failed her friend, and longs to understand Discord. Why wasn't she good enough, why did he betray them? Why hadn't he cherished their friendship as much as she had?

Discord, on the other hand, struggles from the pain of his own guilt, and doesn't even know who he is anymore. He doesn't want to lose the closest friend he has either, but he's positive that their relationship will never be the same again. He can't stand it.

They're falling apart, and the magic of the earth isn't happy about it. Then a cloaked stranger comes into the picture, and plants a mysterious flower...

Fluttershy only utters a simple request. "I wish I could understand you, Discord..."

Little does she know that such a wish entails much more than just an understanding...and her wish is granted in the most chaotic of ways--and the only one who can help her is the very friend she is trying to understand.

This story is a sequel to The Mare of the Night

It's been six months since Starlight Nightflier, batpony prostitute, was hired to be the conversation partner of UN ambassador Daniel Habbuck. Since then, she's gained a new job, a new home, and a new future for her beloved son.

But that's not enough for Starlight. She wants to be more than just a friend to Daniel. Much more. But something's holding her back. Something from her past that refuses to die...

A collaboration between moi and Comrade_Pony

WARNING: Excessive use of alcohol. Foul language. Some sexual activity and innuendos in later chapters. Not a clopfic, no explicit sex scenes. This is NOT a crossover. I have the firm belief that Time Turner is not the Doctor from Doctor Who. Sure, "the Doctor" can be his nickname, like in this story. But he's just an inventor and a time traveler. Doctor Who, Back To The Future, and The Time Machine references galore, but only references and nods.

THE CREW OF THE TROTIS
Dr. Time Turner. A genius and an inventor. He had successfully built a working time machine, dubbed the TROTIS, which is questionable in its operation.
Derpy Hooves. A klutz and a mailmare. She is hopelessly smitten with Time Turner, her best friend. She hopes to one day proclaim her love to him.
Roseluck. A flower pony and a fiery mare. She too is grasping for the affections of Time Turner. Or so she thinks, until something happens to change her mind.
Carnegie Porter. A drunkard and a brewer. We're not too sure what he's doing here. Pretty sure he doesn't know either. Did we mention he's drunk? Oh he's more than just drunk. He's absolutely wasted.
Together? They will transverse across time, space, and each other in an endearing quest into the unknown and back to their home. Ladies and gentlecolts, get ready for the carriage ride of your life.

Carnegie Porter is indeed an OC made for me and refined into a character BY me. Use of Carnegie Porter is permitted in other stories, but I must be credited as his owner in the description.

I am writing OCs and ponsonas into the story as background characters. Characters used will be mentioned by name, and will be described vaguely or in detail, depending on the situation. Please, feel free to send me a message or leave a comment asking about this! OCs and background characters make great fillers!

Twilight, seeing that her friend needed a little bit of companionship, decided to help him get a date.

But boy, did he aim a little too high for her taste.

Now, her and Spike need to help this putz of a human snatch a date from one of the most undateable beings on the planet, Princess Celestia.

Needless to say, they're doomed.

Warning: Story will contain horrible romance clichés, cutsieness, and all around silliness.

You have been warned.

Princess Luna still feels alone, nineteen years after her return to Equestria . But when she finds a friend in an online game, everything seems better. She can be herself without worrying about what others think, and she can finally talk to another pony, even if he never knows who she really is.

Celestia is worried about her sister, especially right now. Upcoming peace talks with a powerful new nation mean that all the Princesses need to be completely ready. With her Luna so absorbed in a fantasy world, she wonders how she'll make it through the harrowing weeks to come.

Button Mash feels like a failure. He's still living at home, he still can't find work that can use his degree from the university, and he still feels alone. His friends are getting married, starting families, and thriving in their careers. On the plus side, he plays games regularly, and his best friend is a mare, even if she doesn't know his name. He hopes that his upcoming vacation to Canterlot might help his mindset.

But, unbeknownst to all of them, a sinister web within a dark plot threatens to ensnare Equestria... And Luna may be the only one able to stop it.

She may face it alone, or maybe she'll have some help from her knight in faded armor...

Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.

But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.

Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?
