Story: Cranky Doodle Donkey's Bad Asssssss Day

"This was the kind of story I'd hoped would enter this contest (among others!) when I first kicked it off -- one where ponies were indisputably in charge, perhaps (or much, in this case) to the disadvantage of others. What made this story work was Einhander's realization that perhaps not everything had been settled between Pinkie and Cranky after 'A Friend in Deed', and he stokes those emotional embers well." -- CouchCrusader

Story: Royals

[Shipping] [Slice of Life]

Author: Einhander

Description: Rarity always wanted to be Lady Rarity. Over time, it became more clear it was not meant to be. But she's fine, she's got a successful business in Ponyville, her fashion line showing in Manehattan and she has her friends, even if most of them are moving on with their lives. A prince sweeping her off her hooves was just not meant to be.
So how in Equestria did she end up on a date with Filthy Rich, businesspony, father and widower, and oh, yes, the richest pony in town?
Confusion, feelings and wine mix for a potentially explosive, heartwarming (or rending?) evening, along with a pinch of generosity.

Story: Faster

[Adventure][Shipping][Sad]

Author: Einhander

Description:
Ponies get older over time. They slow down. This is a part of life. But Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie can keep pursuing their dreams as they get older. Rainbow Dash can't. This is her last chance to be a Wonderbolt, and despite working her tail off, she's not getting any better. In fact, she's getting slower. She just wants things to be fair. She wants one last chance to achieve her dream. She wants to be faster.
This is what happens when she gets her wish.
