The Super Happy Hearts and Hooves Lovefest Fanfic Event has cometo a close, and it's time to UNLEASH THE PONY LOVE!
If there is one thing this fandom absolutely loves doing, it's hooking ponies up with other ponies. It can be canon ships like our Princess of Love and her Shiny, or as obscure as Luna hooking up with a cockatrice, these ponies are doomed if they wanted a break from the love!
Below the break, get the boatloads of writings from authors all over the fandom. Pick an choose based on which ponies you like, or just gamble and go random mode.
Now go below! Read some fanfics! Celebrate Cadance!
NOTE: All fanfics are romance! These are sorted by sub tags.

This is actually based on a high school crush I had once... This isn't my first fanfic ever written, but it is the first fanfic I am submitting to EQD... hope everything goes well!

I have several theories about the rivalry that Equestria and the changelings share. It may have been harsh for the leaders of both, but it was harsher still for those who had to carry out the bidding of the rulers of the two factions. Here, I show what I believe happened to some during times of conflict. In other words, this isn't my usual style of fanfic. As a matter of fact, its the second of only two shipfics I've ever written. But, I still don't see why I couldn't write a shipfic between two OC's of mine.
