Canterlot High's annual student film festival is fast approaching, and the submissions are now under review. But ultimate writer-director-star-girlfriend team Lyra and Bon-Bon are confident they've made something spectacular. It's innovative, it's bold, it's experimental, it's inspired, it's confident, it's... rejected???

Okay, maybe it was a little too out there for the festival... and perhaps a bit too risqué as well. But they can still salvage this. Right?

Written for Bicyclette's LyraBon contest. (Read the other entries here!) Ties in with the Bean’s Writing Group prompt “A Chess Game.”

Pre-read by The Sleepless Beholder and Shirlendra. Cover art by me using stock images.

Featured on 9/29/22-9/30/22! Also recommended by Equestria Daily for Lyra and Bon-Bon Day!

There's a new horror stalking Equestria, and Fluttershy has fallen under its shadow. Can Discord keep her safe without giving in to his own feelings for her?

I was told that if I post this fic here I will get feedback. Don't make that person a liar! Let me know what you think! Pleeease!

Look at Flash Sentry. Hitting on Twilight and being all nice to her. How dare he? He sucks.

I'm Shining Armor, and as Twilight's older brother, I'm the one who has to approve of whoever dates her. Or whoever wants to date her. Or, in the case of Flash Sentry, might even think about wanting to date her. But I don't like him. Not one bit. I have a visceral hatred of him from the very core of my being. So, I kick Flash Sentry's flank.

He deserves it, after all, and I'm sure that you all agree.

Duel Monsters.

A card game that has taken the world by storm. Ever since its creation, players of the game, known as duelists, compete worldwide to determine who is the best. As popularity grew, so has the format. What started as tabletop games transitioned to holograms, then AR, and now they've taken over the virtual realm known as Link Vrains.

However, the digital realm has secrets best left untouched. And when they are threatened to be unraveled, the guardians, the Ignis, seek out partners to help protect them. Fate led them to find the Rainbooms and a few others that they found themselves compatible with. With AI and human allied together, they must face the evil that lurks beneath the surface of the virtual world and reality.

It is time to link together and face the future! Deck set! Into the Vrains!

A crossover series combining My Little Pony Equestria Girls and Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains. The series uses elements from Vrains, but I have taken some liberties to make its own world. Links are prevalent, but other summoning methods like Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Pendulum will be included. There will also be different master rules used depending on the format.

This story was inspired by countless Yu-Gi-Oh! fics on and off this site. They include:

Monty Eggman's My Little Pony: Friendship is Numerous

Banchee531's Yu-Gi-Oh! Stories

Drakey C's Yu-Gi-Oh! stories

Brony-wan-kenobi's Yu-Gi-Oh! Stories

Night-Quill's Equestria Girls: Duel Monsters

RitsuD95's Regenesis, A Duelist Story

Darthvalgaav's Dueling Around Canterlot

And additional Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains fics like Hidden Memories

Special thanks to Monty Eggman and Banshee531 for their help in making this story a reality.

Flash Sentry is minding his own business when he walks down the wrong sidewalk... or perhaps the *right* sidewalk.

This story is a sequel to Flash Sentry, Defender of the Peace S1

A few weeks after the Battle of Canterlot, Flash, Twilight and their friends are called by Princess Celestia to defeat a returning evil. Will they succeed, or will Equestria be plunged into eternal chaos?

Rated and tagged for implied intimacy/sex and all the bitter consequences of cheating, as well as some mild language here 'n there.

This story is part of the Shadowverse main timeline.

Flash Sentry is a member of the Royal Guard whose remarkable rise got knocked off-kilter when he bumped into the captain's little sister.

Flash Sentry is a teenage human with an unfortunate habit of walking into attractive girls.

Flash Sentry is a hero.

Flash Sentry is a rock star.

Flash Sentry is an angel.

Flash Sentry is many things. The problems come when trying to reconcile them. And when he keeps showing up to interrupt one's train of thought.

Winner of Bicyclette's Flash Sentry contest, and a part of the Oversaturated World with (hopefully) no background information required beyond what this story provides.

Rated Teen for some uncouth moments and Crossover for a brief dalliance with Kill Six Billion Demons. Again, no familiarity required.

The problem with scheduling a date first thing in the morning is that there's no time to get ready beforehand. This means that one must prepare everything the night before. This includes picking a wardrobe, planning the itinerary, and grooming oneself. Grooming oneself involves, among other things, getting a haircut.

There are not many places that offer haircuts late into the night.

Flash Sentry has a date first thing in the morning tomorrow. Flash Sentry needs a haircut.

Lucky for him, someone is willing to give one to him.
