Slice of Life
Open up Your Eyes by Pascoite [3k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Tempest Shadow had switched loyalties rather quickly, but blending into the other aspects of life is taking longer. In particular, Hearth’s Warming proves a bit of a challenge to understand—well, no, more to remember. She’d blocked out a lot of her foalhood. And Twilight Sparkle suggests Sweetie Belle as the one to help her get it back.

Tempest Shadow has her orders - she has been assigned as the personal bodyguard of Princess Twilight at the Princess’ first Grand Galloping Gala. Of course, given the requirements of the position, Tempest is reasonably certain that the only reason she was given the job is because the Princess is engaged in one of her covert friendship lessons.
Still, she has to get a proper gown, and a plus-one. Fortunately, Rarity has a referral for where she can get both… if Tempest realizes what her options are.

Tempest Shadow owes her free life to Princess Twilight Sparkle, and that fact has never left Tempest's mind. It's for this reason Twilight is one of the few ponies she respects. But when Tempest finds herself facing another she's obligated to respect, she'll find herself leaving the encounter with more than just damaged pride.

Scootaloo was born with a rare pegasus developmental disorder that left her wings small and weak. She's been working to get over it with the love and support of her friends and family.

Can these two find some common ground to bond over?

Torque Wrench does a favor for Kerfuffle in her hour of need. Not that it means they're friends or anything. Just a little engineering project, don'tcha know.
I Remember Red by The 24th Pegasus [4k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
It has been years since the Mayor's rainbow generator overloaded and drained Hope Hollow of its color. Kerfuffle did her best to stay happy and inspired despite the new gray world she found herself in, but even she has her limits. It's hard to make art in a world of gray, and now Kerfuffle's inspiration has finally left her. Struggling to get by and remain upbeat in a hopeless and friendless town, the pegasus soon finds herself feeling as gray and empty as the world she lives in. But perhaps a close encounter with death will show her that maybe there are still ponies in Hope Hollow who care, and maybe she's not as hopeless and empty on the inside as she feels...

All her life, Torque understood metals. Different Strengths. Different weaknesses. Different monetary values. Much like herself. Calm and subdued. Tempered even.
Now she finds herself working with an alien metal… and the part has to be perfect. But for what reason?

Kerfuffle should probably have stopped drinking several glasses of cider before she did. Moondancer should probably have stopped thinking long before she did.

Celaeno does her job the best she can, living day to day hoping that she can spare her crew the wrath of the Storm King. Most days, she's able to get through her work and go to bed at night feeling only mostly empty, rather than completely. Some days though... Some days are hard.

It was an ordinary bit. Like all the others, bearing the face of the new Sovereign. No longer the naïve young alicorn Capper once knew. Older. Wiser. Aware now, of just what kind of a place Klugetown was. Aware of what Capper almost did.
A fitting thing for Capper to contemplate while ruminating over his past. While wondering what is to come. He would find out soon enough.

Long before I became Songbird Serenade, while I was still in high school, I encountered Discord turning Ponyville into the Chaos Capital of the world. I wasn't buying that his changes made ponies more fun, and I told him as much, which meant I had a part to play in the drama.
