Called to Canterlot in the dead of night, Twilight finds that she has been tasked with the construction of a large-scale magical weapon. After being whisked away to Manehattan, Twilight reluctantly works with her fellow scientists Shock Core and Control Freak, despite her misgivings about the morality of the whole enterprise. And then there's totally a conspiracy theory. And Rainbow Dash is totally gonna drop the bomb.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Mane 6 go through their own unique experiences in the Fourth Great Equestrian War: Applejack and Rainbow Dash in combat, Fluttershy and Rarity behind the scenes, and Pinkie Pie behind enemy lines, using her reality warping powers to be awesome. Don't worry, there won't be gore. There may or may not be wounds or a broken bone, but it won't go far enough to be "gore". At the very least, any bad stuff won't be described.

This fic has no real genre, honestly. It's going to have dark elements and comedic parts. Just take it at face value, I'm not trying to depress you (well, yet) and I'm not trying to make you fall out of your seat laughing. It's just going to be a fic that I hope will entertain you. Hence a "Slice of Life" tag. That's pretty neutral, and that's just what this is. A situation, and the characters live it out. That's a "Slice of Life", right? Maybe I'm totally wrong.

I do want to clarify that I know SQUAT, and I mean NADA, ZIP, ZERO about the actual science of atomic weaponry. I bet I butchered the terminology just by typing that sentence. Don't judge me, I'm just gonna stay vague about how the bomb works.

This IS my first fic, so please demolish it. It can only make it better.

Expect periodic updates about twice a week. It'll probably end up being once a week, but hey, I'm going to be positive here and nopony can stop me.

All credit for the cover image goes to Reina-Kitsune, you have my gratitude. Please don't sue me.

All the proper dues and respects to Hasbro and Lauren Faust. Hmmm. I felt like I should put this disclaimer but I don't really know if I need to. Well, better safe than sorry. Please don't sue me.

For those of you who read this far into the description: You rock! You've earned the Rainbow Dash seal of approval and two internets! Sorry for such a long description.

In the long-forgotten past, the solar princess welcomed a black unicorn into Canterlot Castle. He was an artist who quickly found a place in the hearts of all who met him. His name, likened to the colour of his coat, was Midnight.

Nearly a millennium later, the discovery of an unusual book leads Twilight to Canterlot. And directly into a whirlwind of events where the secrets of the past are finally brought to light...even as all is eclipsed in madness...

Wishing to celebrate her sister's return to Equestria, Princess Celestia revives a competition long-forgotten to modern ponydom: a race over the kingdom's oldest road. Twilight Sparkle and her friends sign up to participate in what they think will be a fun diversion, but will their individual reasons for running breed cooperation or conflict?

Luna's isolation and difficult reentry into Equestrian life has left her without the confidence to communicate with the ponies around her. Especially the one pony she most wants to talk to. Celestia is angry, Twilight is upset and it's all her fault. Then she has an idea... She'll invite Twilight into her dreams. What could possibly go wrong?

Everyone's favorite musical pairing is back in another fanfic! Octavia and Vinyl are now room-mates, and are like any other couple...but how will they react when they discover there's another about to show up?

When Scootaloo moves to Ponyville, she meets a certain cyan pegasus who becomes her idol. Things go well until a pivotal event causes her hopes and dreams to come crashing down around her. Broken and betrayed, Scootaloo must learn to accept her reality and embrace her inner strength with the help of her father and two best friends.

[Now with a super awesome reading by Neighrator Pony.]
[This story's sequel can be found here.]

After Nightmare Night, Luna invites Twilight to tea, and they start spending more time together. Princess Celestia teases Luna about it sometimes.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*

Vinyl scratch isn't always spinning records at parties. She has a more settled down life than most people think! As Vinyl works at her day job at 105.3 FM "The Horn", she finds lost love, meets new people and goes back to her record spinning roots! But when all is said and done, who will she end up with?

Scootaloo's parents have never liked one another, not since Scoots can remember anyway. Constant fights with the orange pegasus filly as a scapegoat don't help the crusader's self-esteem, though she fights to hide it from the ponies that matter to her. Can she find it in herself to face her fears and become her own pony, separate from her family problems?
