There are many universes out there

In one, Equestria triumphs over the Chrysalis' Empire at great cost. In another, it succumbs to the overwhelming might of the Changeling Heer, the ponies forever shattered beneath the hoof of their insectoid overlords. 

There are also others where Stalliongrad has spread the Communist Revolution throughout the continent against all odds, the sun rising above a red Equus. 

There are even those where Equestria as it is now dead forever, in its place come the Herald of the Moon, seeking Nox Aeterna; and parallel of that witnesses an Imperium Solem, led by a Solar Princess gone mad

But despite all of the differences of these universes from each other, one factor is common: Equestria finds itself completely unprepared for the challenges of the 11th Century.

But what if that was not the case? What if a bored entity, boundless in power and might, decides to intervene?

Based in the Hearts of Iron IV Mod: Equestria at War

Desperate to stop the mysterious thief from disappearing with the Element of Magic, Twilight made a split-second decision to use an all-purpose redirection spell she had been developing on the mirror said thief was diving towards. Untested spells, overpowered alicorn magic, and multiple ancient magical artifacts do not mesh well. Now trapped in an unfamiliar world with the Mirror shattering behind them, Twilight and Sunset, along with Spike, must overcome their differences and work together if they ever wish to return to Equestria. It shouldn’t be too hard. After all, the place they landed in is literally called Dreamland. It’s not like anything could go wrong here, right?

…right?

Heavily inspired by Lucar’s A Sweetie Dreamland, but with a different take on how MLP characters would react to the absurdity that is the Kirby multiverse, focusing less on the adventures and more on the characters themselves.

Alternate Universe tag is due to the inclusion of some personal headcanons regarding how magic works and slightly editing Sunset's backstory to be more internally consistent with the rest of the show. Death, violence, and gore tags are for levels consistent with the Kirby series, and the human tag is because Adeline exists.

Long ago, the nations of Equus were attacked by a vicious race known as humans, who hailed from a previously undiscovered island nation. The war against this species was horrific and costly, but the peoples of Equus were able to defeat these invaders, inevitably resulting in their complete and total enslavement.

However, when Equestria discovers proof that the humans came from a world all their own, they are horrified to learn humanity could still be a threat.

Fearing another invasion, the nations of Equus decide to make a preemptive strike on this new world, known as Earth by its people, seeking to take control of both this planet and its inhabitants. However, what they fail to realize, is that the humans of this world might not be the monsters they think them to be.

Finding themselves faced with an unknown enemy, the world humanity knew suddenly flipped on its head. With the threat of enslavement looming over them, the world will have no choice but to take up arms and come together as one as they fight to defend their home and way of life.

When Princess Twilight learned that someone was gathering representatives from different dimensions for a once in an epoch gathering, a fighting tournament wasn't what she was expecting.

Based on the Dragon Ball Multiverse fan comic.

Only a few years after the Three Tribes were reunified, northern Equestria was the bloody arena of the most terrible conflict in Equestria's history. An alien invasion shook the continent to its core, and hurled its residents into an unimaginable future. The resulting four years of war has forever marked Equestria as the land of the Missing.

Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the war, we present the definitive account of events, told from the perspective of the harshest critics of all- those who survived it. This is the true story of the Great Extraterrestrial War.

Based on H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, particularly drawing on the 2013 film adaptation; however, it is not a straight adaptation of either. Takes place after Chapter 4 of Make your Mark, but was planned and written before Chapters 5 and 6 aired, and as a result takes neither into account.

While Celestia and Luna were the rulers of ponykind of many centuries, they were not the only alicorn leaders of their people's ancient past. Through the power of modern technology, they find a way to restore their father, Solaris, to be able to speak to them once more. As it turns out, this might not have been the best idea.

Equestria and the Crystal Empire have fallen to the Changeling Hegemony, led by the brutal Queen Chrysalis at the head of a mechanized horde of guns and tanks. Princess Cadance stayed in the Crystal Empire; Princess Twilight stayed in Equestria. Chrysalis rules the continent, only defied by Nova Griffonia, the poor Griffon colony in the north.

Across the ocean, the Griffonian Reich pledges to reclaim its lost territory, sundered by revolution a generation ago. While the Alicorn Sisters retreat to New Mareland, Princess Flurry Heart and Shining Armor turn to Aquileia, the Republic born out of the ashes of the Griffonian Reich. The Kaiser of the Reich is only a child, subject to a regent bent on war and conquest.

Flurry knows the Reich and Chrysalis have worked together.

She knows that war is coming to Aquileia.

She knows that Celestia and Luna abandoned her mother and Twilight Sparkle.

She knows that the world is on fire, and she is the last true Princess of Ponies.

She knows she will go home.

In an island bunker hundreds of miles from Hippogriffia's mainland, the nation's finest scientists and high-ranking party members anxiously await the countdown for the world's first thermonuclear bomb. In-attendance are Posada, the eccentric Communist revolutionary and Head of State of Hippogriffia. Terrafin, Posada's trusted scientist and friend, as well as project lead and architect of Operation Sunset. And finally, Posada's main advisor and very close friend, former Princess Skystar.

Today is the culmination of Posada's dreams and visions. The ability to harness nuclear fusion as a weapon, and perhaps eventually, harness it as a power source for long expeditions to the stars. However taming the power of the stars is far from an easy task, and leads to something no one could have seen coming.

Warnings: Mentions of suicide, depictions of injuries and blood, and implicit sexual content mentioned once.

Playing through Posada's full path in Equestra at War is recommended (because it's amazing) but not at all required. It just gives you more context on the universe and characters.

This story is a sequel to Student Six Watch Fallout Lore: The Storyteller Series

The Student Six had finished learning about The Wasteland and were ready to head to Sugarcube Corner for a snack before doing their assignment. However, they find themselves not only trapped in the room with no way out, but stuck in an alternate dimension caused by a powerful being who calls himself Sheogorath, The Daedric Prince of Madness.

For his own amusement, he's brought them here to learn about his own dimension and he has no plans on letting them go until he's had his fill of fun. With no other choice, the Student Six sit down and prepare to learn about Nirn, Tamriel, her history and races, and access to lots and lots of cheese.

The Elder Scroll Lore series belongs to ShoddyCast and Elder Scrolls itself belongs to Bethesda.

Anon has been in Equestria for 5 years, working under Celestia as a Minister of Foreign Affairs. His tactics were seen as dishonest at best and unethical at worst. But when Celestia leaves suddenly, she names Anon as her temporary replacement to the throne. With internal bickering over whether Anon deserves this position and heightened tension with the Griffons, Anon must choose carefully. Will he become a tyrant or a fair king? And how far will he go to preserve Equestria?

A fully rewritten version of a greentext I wrote back in 2019. Could be a bit dated with tropes that I thought was good writing at the time, but I’m still proud of it.

For the Second Person tag you should note that sections from Anons POV are in first person, everyone else is in second person.

Romance tag is there because of a romance I included that I think was poorly handled, but half the story wouldn’t make sense if I just removed it so I had to keep it in.

Gore and Violence are self explanatory. It’s not there abundantly, but it is there.

Also don’t read the comments if you don’t want spoilers. Story discussion happens in them and that might ruin the reading experience.
