Twilight Sparkle Will Stab You by Noobblue [2k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
I'm just kidding. This is actually a really wholesome story about filly Twilight and Shining Armor being brother and sister.

Love spells... are a curse by RTIIIS-3 [2k words]

After a disastrous —and frankly irresponsible— love spell, two souls become intertwined by a magical force so intense that neither distance, nor logic, nor even the most powerful counter-spell seems capable of separating them. The problem is that these supposed “soulmates” hate each other.
A human turned into a pony and an arrogant prince are not exactly the ideal couple.
Now both of them embark on a race against time to undo the spell before they truly fall in love, which would be, in both of their opinions, the worst tragedy imaginable. And while these two victims of fate argue, run, negotiate, and threaten each other’s lives, one thing becomes clear:
Cadance should be much more careful with her love spells. Maybe a formal complaint in court is exactly what she needs to learn a valuable lesson.
