Aria Blaze is a retired siren and member of the Dazzlings. It’s not really a story she could tell to just anyone, but who else can she turn to when the only two people she’s ever known disappeared from her life? Maybe you, perhaps?

Twilight isn't exactly sure about her new babysitter. She seemed perfect in every way. But Cadence surprises her by giving her some advice she never thought she'd receive.

Tirek is a juggernaut. A nonstop bullet train on the fast track to becoming the sole source of magic in Equestria (and it's de facto ruler).

But what happens when this unstoppable force meets an immovable will?

A will that's more than eager to resort to cheap tricks and humiliation tactics to balance the karmic scales?

At that point... it's open season.

Tirek Season.

In all sort of media, "it's a kids show" is a stigma about how stuff made for kids tends to be stupid, shallow, or just not entertaining enough for adults. It is this stigma that's caused Scootaloo to question what she should do about it.

One siren might just be able to change her mind, and open her eyes to the real complexity of the issue... or just help her in general.

Thirteen years is a long time, yet old wounds have a habit of coming back to haunt those who bear them.

The Princesses of Equestria decided to spare the holdout villains, offering them counseling. Humbled from prison and asylum, shown kindness and acceptance where there should have been punishment and hatred, the last barriers of the unredeemed disintegrated like sand before a wave. Their rehabilitation fell under the auspices of the Princesses themselves, as well as Starlight Glimmer - the preeminent redeemed villain. The tensions of the past saw the Royal Family of the Crystal Empire sundered, but it also saw new families created in shocking arrangements.

A teenage Flurry Heart struggles to make friends at the School of Friendship, confused and angry at the divorce of her parents and their remarriage to the Crystal Empire's greatest enemies. An adult Cozy Glow struggles to forge a path of her own in a world that refuses to forgive actions she made as a filly. Chrysalis and Sombra struggle to adjust to life as domestic spouses, and loving step-parents to the youngest alicorn. Tirek struggles not to give into his hunger for magic. Everyone else struggles to accept this new paradigm, to forgive the final holdouts.

And, unseen by all, a final darkness stirs, enticing a filly with promises of power.

Alright, this was a project I was working on for... well, a few months at least. 10 chapters complete, I figured I'd upload what I have. It started as a simple fic about a what-if situation where Flurry Heart tries to adjust to her parents being divorced and remarried to the greatest archenemies of her foalhood, but evolved into a story about all the unredeemed villains.

Unusual for me, I've kept shipping to a minimum. I tried to keep the pairings as "canon" as possible, according to the hints at the end of Season 9 (AppleDash, FlutterCord, CheesePie, StarBurst, etc.) but I also threw in ShiningChrysalis and SomDance, which are pretty central to the plot.

Set roughly two years after Luna's return and redemption, Spike has begun to question whether or not non-ponies have protected rights in Equestria. When he raises his concerns to Twilight and Starlight, the Princess is offended by criticism of Celestia's system, while Starlight begins dreaming about her old ideals once more. Twilight sends their concerns to Celestia and Luna, but they soon develop very different views on how to handle the situation.

The entire time, the non-pony nations are increasingly agitated by the overwhelming influence of the pony city-states and the need for them to forsake their old cultures in favor of becoming more "civilized". An ancient prophecy foretells that a hero will emerge to unite the non-ponies and strike at their oppressors when they are at their weakest.

As the battle lines are drawn and diplomacy fails, two things are certain. The first is that no land or nation will be unscathed by the conflict; the other is that whomever succeeds will set the political precedent for the next thousand years...

Title is a reference to the MGS: Peace Walker song. This will eventually evolve into a Lunar Republic v. Solar Empire fic, but their creation will probably only be the end of this fic and the setup for a sequel. This is an AU set roughly two years after the beginning of the TV series, where the point of divergence is the Season 7 finale. There are some references to Equestria Girls and the comics, but since I haven't read very much of the comics, I'm mostly cherry-picking. There will also be a plot involving Spike as a sort of "chosen one" and the introduction of a third-party competitor in the form of an alliance between non-ponies. I'm not sure why I did it, but I thought it would be good to throw in something extra instead of just NLR fighting SE, since there's already a dozen of those out there.

I added the romance tag because the relationships of the characters have developed into important plot points.

Below are my three major warnings.

WARNING: This fic is political, though I'm trying to present each side as both an aggressor and as a defender rather than pick obvious "heroes" and "villains". That said, topics such as race form the initial crux of the fic, though in this context race means dragon/griffon/pony, etc., and the races don't have real-world racial equivalents, so please don't get worked up about it. Feel free to root for or condemn any side you want; I'll withhold my personal bias, since the point of MLP is building bridges, not walls.

WARNING 2: There will be fighting. One of my mistakes with my last NLR/SE fics was the over-the-top dramatic flare of the war, and the introduction of modern weapons. These battles will be fought using technologies shown in the show: spears, arrows, magic, and Pinkie's Party Cannon (when she wills it). I've left the casualties ambiguous because some readers prefer lots of death and some don't. Read into it however you wish.

WARNING 3: Getting sick of these, yet? There will be a lot of shipping. I tried to prevent it, but I can't help it, and now it's part of the main plot.

This story is a sequel to Ultimate Spiders and Magic: Episode V "Neogenic Nightmare"

While everyone is away for the Camp Everfree trip, Peter decides to stay behind amidst the Man-Spider aftermath. However, Trixie’s father, Jackpot, comes into town for his magical performance tour (and hidden illegal matters) as the Great and Powerful Mysterio. Now, Spider-Man must contend with the magician’s powerful illusions and technology, all while trying to preserve his friendship with Trixie and learning of her family's turmoil.

Life is never simple.

This story is a sequel to Meltdown

Flash Sentry gets home from work and Sunset Shimmer is acting strange. What's gotten into the former villain?

//////////////////////////////////////////

Based on a true story.

[READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION, or you might regret it later.]

With a new trick in mind, Trixie must acquire a rabbit from somewhere before her next magic show. Fate smiles on her as she encounters a rabbit with years of experience in show business, Bugs Bunny.

Upon asking for his services, Bugs declines Trixie's request for legitimate reasons. Trixie isn't going to take 'no' for an answer, but is she great and powerful enough to get the wascally wabbit's cooperation?

Written with the intent of making it feel like a Bugs Bunny short directed by Chuck Jones.

This was made for the, 'Who Crossed Over My Little Pony?' contest. It's something inspired by 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' as it's intended to use characters that made a debut no later than 1947 or ones that are found in the movie. And if you're unfamiliar with the movie, it's just a mystery surrounding a white rabbit in red overalls.

Cover Art was provided by Uz Naimat.

When a crossover is needed, why not make it educational?

Based on the Goofy "How To..." series.
