Mares of many talents often find themselves in sticky situations. In Rarity's case, she must hold true to the promise she gave to Princess Twilight Sparkle. It never occurred to her that she may be required to forcibly defend her position as the princess' companion, but it's of little consequence. A promise is a promise, is it not?

On a fateful night, Blueblood and Spike are both spurned by the mare of their dreams. Alone and lost, they face turning points in their lives.

A story about the ties that bind and the ties one breaks.

Blueblood is wealthy, refined, and experienced. He has plenty to be thankful for. But, in his mind, these other ponies have no business being happy.

Based on Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper."

Twilight Sparkle is stressed with her new role as a princess and wishes she could go back to being a regular old unicorn.

Dawn Cracker, a unicorn living with her indebted father, wishes she had the life of a princess.

When the two meet, they discover they look a great deal alike and (of course) decide to switch places. What chaos will become of this?

That Prince Blueblood treats mares terribly. Luna takes matters into her own hoof to teach him a lesson, but it is she that learns something instead.

This is my scrapbox. A simple collection of random pony-related plot tribbles and vague, silly ideas. There is no storyline, no real format. Many of these may not even be more than a page. But ideas are for sharing. Laugh, cry, get a kick out of them, whatever. But don't take anything here seriously and try to mark it as such. That defeats the purpose.

Princess Celestia sends four adults ponies out into the world. They find that just because it's not your destiny to save the world, doesn't mean a goddess won't ask you to do just that. This story follows the tale of Pokey, Redheart, Cheerilee, and Medley as they find out what it means to sacrifice for the greater good of Equestria.

Twilight was the victim of a conspiracy. Nobles didn't like her politics, and tendency to give more power to the common pony. Soldiers thought that Twilight was guilty of treasonous acts herself, controlling Princess Celestia. In any case, she must die, for the characters' emotional enrichment. Or must she?

There are so many ways her death in that one story could have been averted. Therefore, in the name of happy endings everywhere, I present a fic where prevention is half the cure!

This is based upon Rated Ponystar's Assassination verse, thought this does not take place in it. It diverges from a heavily derivative background story at different points, all resulting in the saving of Twilight Sparkle.

Chapter One. Time Travel fuelled by Discord.

Chapter Two. Somepony set up an alarm system, complete with alternate version where a different pony set it up.

Chapter Three. Celestia proves a point that takes the wind out of military part of the operation.

Chapter Four. Celestia makes sure everyone stays loyal, way ahead of time...

Chapter Five. Naughty Naughty, someone got caught-y...

Chapter Six. And the one time she was able to bring her back.

In the aftermath of the Changeling incursion of Canterlot during the marriage of Shining Armour and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Equestria gears itself for war against the Changeling menace. Against a foe that can take the shape of anypony, assume their life, and undermine Equestria from within, the Royal Pony Sisters create a new institution to monitor their Royal Guard for any Changeling corruption, cowardice, and incompetence: the Commissariat. As total war rages across the land one hero stands out above the rest; Commissar Blueblood, Hero of Equestria. Or at least that's what the propaganda says. The truth, as ever, is far more complex, as the esteemed Blueblood is merely looking for an easy and sedate life. Unfortunately, fate has a habit of throwing him into increasingly dangerous and suicidal missions, which he must survive with a combination of self-preservation, lying, and sheer blind luck, even if doing so only fuels his soaring reputation!

Equine military fiction in the style of Ciaphas Cain and Flashman.
