What Spike saw in the doorway of King Sombra's crystal palace hasn't left his mind. The fear of Twilight abandoning him haunts him through recurrent nightmares. Anxiety taunts him when he's at his most vulnerable, reminding him of all his failures, all his inadequacies, all his wounds.

One night, this fear and anxiety manifests itself in a full-blown nightmare, dragging Spike face-to-face with his greatest fear. What if Twilight never needed Spike in the first place?

Takes place right after the Season Three opener (before Episode Three).

Rated Teen for some dark elements.

Rainbow Dash tells the story of Crash Blitzkrieg, the colt she was born as, to news media as her coming out. She then accidentally becomes a role model to hundreds of young fillies and colts as the first out trans Wonderbolt. At first the attention is great, but then the responsibility and prejudice that comes with the title begin to take their toll. But in the end, it's worth it. This is the story of the fallout of her decision; all of the good, all of the bad, and all of the... surprising.

Deals in themes of LGBTQ issues, family and acceptance, being trans in the military, and depression/anxiety in queer youth.

Featured in the group Absolutely Disgusting because I made one of its members angry by deleting his hateful comment towards another commenter. In response, I'm modifying & expanding my original plans for the story.

Starlight finds out one day when she suddenly coughs up a few petals. Then it's all downhill from there.

The dread Coronavirus has emerged in Equestria. Meanwhile, Corona Sheen’s life has been rather miserable of late.

Disclaimer: This story is a comedy. Ms. Sheen’s life is not yours. Don’t take it too seriously. However, the real Coronavirus is a serious matter. Please follow the instructions of your leaders and healthcare professionals. And when in doubt, statistics don’t lie.

Radio. The first national broadcast across Equestria is about to happen. But even as radio towers are raised across the nation, Princess Twilight calls upon three musicians to make it truly historic.

If radio is to be more than a passing fad, how can it prove its worth? And if faraway music is to be heard in ponies' homes across the land, what song shall be the first to grace the airwaves?

Hearth's Warming is never an easy time for Gallus, being the only one without a real family to go home to.

But this year, he just might discover a new friend to spend it with.

Spanish Translation

You are a unicorn stallion, who serves as a professor at Canterlot's Magic Academy, aiding the gifted youth in their magical training. However, due to your diligence, you have been unable to find your special somepony, something which has been weighing heavily on your mind as of late.

As Nightmare Night begins you decide to work late in the library when you hear a noise. Investigating you discover a few of your students performing a magical ritual. After sending them away, you attempt to clean up the mess. Unfortunately in doing so, you accidentally managed to complete the ritual, summoning an exotic and understandably surly creature into Equestria.

Warning! This story contains: an alternate take on succubi, suggestive content, annoyed individuals becoming friends (and perhaps more), maids and cuddles?

I've always wanted to create a story about a succubus that could also be safe enough to make it onto the Monster Mare Story List and here it is. I hope you all enjoy.

I came up with this story for Nightmare Night (🎃Halloween🎃), one of my most favorite holidays.

Sometimes, the very best days are the ones where you don't do much of anything at all. Gallus, an expert napper, certainly believes that little else could be better.

But then, waking from a nap beside your loving husband and getting to enjoy some of his fall fluffiness, well... that might be the best thing of all.

Just a little bit of fluff about a little bit of fluff.

Sleepwalking--the act of walking while not conscious of it or aware of it, during one's sleep; to walk and/or perform other actions while sleeping; to somnambulate.

Which for Smolder, that alone is bad enough. Crawling into bed with Gallus while she's sleepwalking though...that's a whole other level of awkward.

Twilight Sparkle is a successful mare - it's hard to do better than a pair of alicorn wings and a crown! Which leads her to wonder - why is she still single? Perhaps Rarity, connoisseur of all things romantic, will hold the answer?
