This story is a sequel to The Prince

Five years have passed since the Equestrian victory against the invading minotaur army, and peace has returned to the land. The first annual memorial celebration has arrived in Canterlot, led by Prince Antares. However, in the midst of the celebration, Equestria is invaded by an army from far away, led by the powerful unicorn Tempest Shadow in the name of The Storm King.

Now on the run, Antares must reclaim his conquered nation, no matter the cost.

Just as a brief point of interest: I loved the movie. This is not a fix fic any more than the first TD Alicorn story was a fix fic of the Season 3 finale. This is just an interesting idea I had.

Even after being reformed Discord still wants to cause just a bit of chaos every now and then; and he's got a new plan on how to get away with it. One that involves tricking his marefriend Fluttershy into following his riskiest scheme yet.

He'll get what he asked for but will it be want he wants?

Rated teen for suggestive themes of a sensitive nature. Disciplinary Spanking
AU tag is there to be safe.

Norse legends tell of men sacrificing bears and bulls to unicorns to keep them from devouring human villages. Pre-equestrian legends tell of a cunning prey prized by unicorn royalty. A holiday fast, commemorating the defense of the wishing star from changeling armies, sharpens Rarity and Twilight Sparkle's appetites just as some very lost Bronycon attendees crash out of the Everfree Forest. Rainbow Dash finds herself wrenched apart by conflicting loyalties. Fluttershy gains, and loses, a pet. Applejack relates to somebody. Spike will execute a cunning scheme, but finds himself torn between the two unicorns that matter the most to him. Pinkie Pie explains why "Cupcakes" is a silly fanfic and tries to quell bloodlust with pineapple inside-out cake.
Friendships will be tested. Hearts will be broken. Secrets will be revealed. Also, magic kindergarten.

When humans come to Equestria, it's not the ponies that should be afraid.

Dear Princess Celestia,

First, allow me to offer my deepest apologies.  I have no doubt the news I'm writing to you about has, somehow, already reached you.

Still I know it is my responsibility duty to bring this matter to your attention myself.  Especially given that it involves a national hero.

On my authority as your personal student, I have placed the human known as Gary Stu under citizen's arrest.

Please believe that nopony is more shocked than I am about this.

Pinkie Pie has Passed away. After the funeral, the ponies of Ponyville put it upon themselves to bring a little party and laughter to their quiet town. Each writer takes a character and writes about their effort to cope with the loss, bring some life to the downtrodden town, or simply come to terms with what happened.

A Barcast Collaboration.

This story is a sequel to The Prince

Returning to the land of his birth as the human TD Powell, Antares must try to find a way home. But if he returns to Equestria, will it be the same one he knows? Will he be able to cope with the ever-changing world around him?

Starlight is now on the path to reformation, but judging from her behavior as of late, it'd seem she still has quite a ways to go. It's become apparent to Twilight and her friends that Starlight is having a difficult time letting go of her questionable ideals about friendship. But they won't give up on her, not yet anyway.

However, Starlight's greatest challenge in changing herself for the better has now reared its head in the form of Laughingstock; a pony whose cutie mark she took but failed to convert to her ideology back in her village. He's now in Ponyville, desperate for work as his cutie mark is still mysteriously missing. As imagined, he's not happy with Starlight in the slightest. After all, living without a cutie mark but bearing one that reminds him of just who did this to him would make anyone mad.

Not helping is the fact that Starlight doesn't seem to feel too sorry about it.

Rated T for language and unfortunate circumstance.

Nightmare Moon won. She defeated Celestia, broke the Elements, banished the sun. This all happened a very long time ago. So long ago, that she has had plenty of time to change her mind.

Of course, fixing our mistakes is never so simple, and never without consequences. Even with particularly potent help.

My name is Starswirl and I am an earth pony. This is a collection of stories about my life. As I reflect on the events that have brought me to this home by the sea, I can only hope for one thing; that my life be viewed as ordinary and plain, but my work in theoretical magic be held the highest regard. I placed so much effort into my studies in theoretical magic that it would be a shame to let my work be lost somewhere in the sands of time.

As seen on Equestria Daily!

updates whenever I get a chance to update it :P.

Worried about her friends' mortality, Twilight hatches a daring plan. She probably should have told them about it first.
