Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

“Nice. Speaking of which, how’s the tow boat?”

Timber Wolf raised an eyebrow. “The Tow Boat? We gave her an inspection two weeks ago, actually. Needs new Gravity Drive coils, but otherwise serviceable. You got a moon that needs moving or something?”

She smiled. “Actually, yes. Something happened on Equestria long ago, which left their Moon on a suborbital trajectory. Princess Luna uses her powerful magic to keep it at bay, but it’s a huge drain on her.”

“You-!” Twilight began. “You have a ship that can move moons?”

Flight nodded. “Yep. The Tow Boat was made- and first used- to move Equineothame into a stable, livable orbit, and fine-tune the spin. Took about a century, pretty sure it hasn’t been used since. We should be able to use it to put Luna’s Moon on a stable orbit as well- we’ll just have to fit it with a Distortion Drive. Which, if it needs new Gravity Drive coils, now would be a great time to install that.” She tilted her head. “We’ll also want to make sure the power systems can support the new drives.” Then she blinked. “And if Celestia wants, we could probably use it- and its sister- to stabilize and fine-tune Equestria’s spin as well, free both Sisters from their celestial duties. We could even adjust the axial tilt if you want, make the seasons drive themselves. Take a lot of magic to avoid any significant damage to the planetary civilization, but I’m sure it’s nothing that you and Star couldn’t handle.” She smiled up at Timber Wolf, ignoring Twilight’s blush.
