Cogito ergo sum by TwiwnB
https://www.fimfiction.net/
"Cogito ergo sum" - I think therefore I am (Descartes)
Some things are simple and obvious when you are a rational and smart pony like Twilight Sparkle. But when you try to make a crazy mare like Pinkie Pie obey the rules of logic, you should expect at least some challenge.
But that's not a story about logic. It was supposed to be, but it isn't. Or at least not anymore. I think it's just a story about two friends spending some time together...

Discord Finds Out if Pinkie is a Draconequus by Soothing Stone
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Pinkie Pie has mystified Discord for a long time. How is it that she can regularly break the laws of physics, be everywhere at once, and never run out of energy? In many ways, she reminds him of his own abilities. That gets him thinking about things, and a lightbulb goes off in his head.
This brainstorming gives Discord a rather interesting theory, one he's eager to find out if it's correct. If so, it would delight him to no end. Of course, he has to put his theory to the test, in the way only a draconequus can.
It might be a good idea to pray for Pinkie's safety right about now.
