FlutterDoomshy by Estee [8k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
The love of a pet can be strong enough to shake worlds. Years ago, a companion was lost, and unleashed rage left a trail of revenge across dimensions -- but none of it was ever enough to gain the greatest prize, and so every accomplishment was ultimately hollow. Love did not return.
But now, after so much time, he's found where that love resides. It's just that it happens to be in the home of another. And with only a few more steps to take before reunion, the moment when he finally knows love again...
Don't worry. He's prepared to be fully reasonable about it.

The Alarming Agrume Amphibians Of Froggy Bottom Bogg by Estee [6k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
It really isn't Twilight's fault. She certainly didn't intend those exact results and given everything else which was happening at the time, there was no chance to fix it! Besides, it was just reasonable to expect that Ponyville's natural tendencies would solve things on their own. Probably without even noticing, and most likely with a squish.
But that clearly didn't happen. Because when it comes to that particular experiment's aftermath, the worst-case scenario just came through.
Fluttershy knows about the frog.
