Tirek has won. As he escapes from his cell in Tartarus and wreaks havoc across Equestria, he has taken down the Princesses and has stolen all their magic from Twilight.
But during Tirek's victory... someone new shows up.

Somewhere in the Frozen North, a griffon expedition has gone missing. As the only airship specifically designed for the frigid environment, the Aurora Dawn and her crew's first mission out of the shipyards will be to find and rescue this lost expedition.

If only they knew what the expedition was really out there to find...

Inspired by the collective works of H.P. Lovecraft, though familiarity with Lovecraft's works are not necessary to get this.

I experimented quite a bit with narrative in this story, specifically in using different narrative voices depending upon the perspective. I'll leave it up to the readers if I pulled this off effectively.

My thanks to JawJoe for the exceptionally helpful prereading and suggestions on how to make this story all the better.

Trixie has read literally dozens of true crime stories. She has no idea why it takes the police so long to solve the crimes when they're so obvious -- especially in hindsight. When a murder happens right in front of her, its her chance to prove her expertise to the doubters and claim her rightful title as the Intelligent and Insightful Trixie, Equestria's Greatest Magical Detective!

Assuming it actually is a murder, anyway.

An entry in the 2023 Whodunnit Contest

In the heart of Equestria, shadows gather and secrets lie buried. A young alicorn named Nyx carries the weight of a dark past, while a relentless adversary seeks revenge that could shatter her resolve. As a deadly game of intentions unfolds, alliances will be tested, and the boundaries of morality blurred. Unveil the enigmatic journey where loyalties waver and a sinister peril looms, threatening to unleash chaos upon an unsuspecting land. 'Black Feather' is a tale of mystery, vengeance, and the choices that define heroes and villains.

This story is a sequel to Ice

Twilight, Spike and Discord are on Earth. Our Earth. The low-magic planet where humans come in only a few skin colors, don't pony-up or wear clothes with cutie marks, and think that every creature they see that isn't human is either a non-sapient animal, some kind of monster, or both.

The portal they came through is broken, the exit having separated from the entrance by many, many miles. Their own Equestrian magic has drained away. There's very little magic for them to absorb on Earth. To survive the harsh conditions they're flung into without their magic, and to survive encounters with the paranoid natives of the world who see strange animals as something to exploit or to fear, they're going to have to work together.

Set in Season 7 sometime. Expansion of "Ice", and "Ocean" from "Eating Dessert First".

When a pair of Federation mobile suits appear in Equestria by accident - all their pilots can hope to do is figure out a way to regroup with any and all allied forces in this completely alien land. What they didn't expect - or at least they were hoping to avoid - was the attention from the ponies, dragons, and other wide varieties of creatures all around them.

It's more of a hassle than they'd like to admit.

Edit: Somehow made it on Featured. H O W

In this tale, we shall see how our beloved Equestria, and the world it once lived in, is changed forever by the sudden aparition of gigantic landmasses where there once was water and the bad augury of sun and moon refusing to obey their princesses...

The once close kingdoms and countries, are now distant partners... or foes, as the history is forced to change forever when two worlds collide, and many different nations must face each other, will friendship prevail?, or maybe, only maybe, war may be the only way to stop the gathering storm?

Besides, the event did brought a certain creature from another land, a "man" as he calls himself, will this strange alien stallion be able to help Equestria?, or will this country run by mares refuse to listen to this strange, yet curious stallion?

So... in this story, I will try to mix the canon Equestria from FiM, with a whole new world, inhabitated by ponies and many other species we know and love, and many new ones, as if the classic transported fiction, but, instead of humans or human nations being sent to Equestria, Equestria is sent to a brand new world, ruled by other kind of ponies... and with them, comes a lonely guy that knows a bit too much in certain areas. I hope you like it!

English isn't my first languague, so, sorry in advance (This story is RGRE).

"Sweetie, Are ya okay? Ah took a medical kit if ya need help?" Apple Bloom said as Sweetie kept totally still, the pair in front of her making no move to enter the small cave.

"Please do not harm this unit." The voice was distorted, damage to the vocal box giving a metallic tang to the request. Both Bloom and subject 2 jumped back from the entrance, their eyes wide at the distorted voice.

"S-Sweetie?" Apple Bloom stammered, reaching for the shotgun strapped to her barrel. Sweetie pressed herself a little deeper into her hiding place.

"Please do not harm this unit." Sweetie tried again, various subsystems starting to simulate the most optimal way to fight in her current state.

"H-Hey Sweetie, t-that's you, right?" subject two asked, sounding even more terrified than Apple Bloom.

A small Sweetie Bot story I had in the back of my mind and have occasionally dotted down things for for the last 9 months. Hopefully a fun read!

When Twilight Sparkle's inventions are stolen, Sunset Shimmer and the Rainbooms try to track down the new master criminal in Canterlot. There's hacking, silly robots, social engineering, magical combat, and Twilight Sparkle getting annoyed about capital letters.

Not exactly a comedy, but a light-hearted action adventure story. Written for FOME's latest contest. Edited the day after publication to split into 5 chapters and apply a few images in chapter 4.

Cover art composited from this and this. Prereading by my lovely wife!

This story is a sequel to Swimming Lessons

Canterlot. The capital city of the great nation of Equestria. It had seen many a disaster over the centuries. But once, many years before Tirek, before Queen Chrysalis, Discord, before even Nightmare Moon, it faced a disaster unlike any other. One that threatened to topple the crown itself by the most unconventional means.

This is the story of The Great Tabloid Disaster.

A sequel to Swimming Lessons, and another side story in the A Tale of Two Suns continuity.

Cover art graciously done by Uz Naimat. Proofreading done, as usual, by Setokaiva.

ATOTS stories have their own TV Tropes page, so feel free to flesh that out.
