Twilight has worked herself clear to the point of exhaustion in order to set up The Grand Equestrian Summit in Canterlot. After she collapses, Spike is tasked by Cadence with the essential mission of making sure Twilight isn't disturbed while she catches up on the sleep she's missed.

When a herd of ponies come knocking at Twilight's door though, it falls to Spike to deal with them.

So, naturally, he does the smart thing and solves everything.

This story is a sequel to G5 Adventures in The Jetsons and WWE: Robo-Wrestlemania

Spike and the rest of the dragons from the Isle of Scaly are coming for the annual Maretime Bay Summer Solstice Festival, celebrated with games, picnics on the beach, and a brand new tradition… the lighting of the Dragon Torch! But, just as the dragons arrive to kick off the festival, the Mane 6 find themselves on their most… prehistoric Unity Quest yet.

A relaxing spa getaway evolves into a prehistoric panic when Scooby-Doo, the gang and the Mane 6 uncover the horrible Phantosaur, an ancient legend that comes to life to protect hidden treasures buried in secret desert caves. 

But this scare-a-saurus doesn't stand a chance with Shaggy around, after he finds his inner hero with the help of some new-age hypnosis. Like, in fact, it makes him more brave and less hungry!

Together, with the help of a brand-new friend-- a dragon queen who has lost everything to poachers-- the ponies and their Mystery Inc friends gather a whole batch of colorful suspects, including a free-wheeling motorcycle gang, greedy corporate investors and overzealous scientists, revealing that there's more pieces to this mystery than slices in a pizza! Settle into your mud bath and let the Mystery Inc. gang and the Mane 6 unearth a ton of fun for the whole family!

(S3E10 of G5 Adventures)

The Crystal Empire had returned after an eternity in limbo and with it, its dark king escaped his tomb of ice. Equestria sent its most capable ponies to defend and secure the Crystal Empire, they fought admirably, but they ultimately failed to safekeep the heart of the empire. The Dyads fell, King Sombra retained his throne, and darkness blemishes the northern skies once again.

Equestria is now in the midst of recuperating, preparing itself for a large-scale siege to take back the empire and free it from King Sombra’s influence. However, the dark king will not rest until Equestria is no longer a threat. He is not above doing whatever it takes to prevent Harmony from spreading into the Crystal Empire, and he has the perfect tool to carry out his whim.

A spiritual crossover with Star Wars, based on the cover image by NCMares. Written for Equestria Daily’s Friend-Off Revival. And for Halloween, I guess.

It started when ponies started going missing. It was small towns and villages that reported them first.

After an attack on Manehattan of seemingly unknown origins, The Regal Sisters begin talks of reviving an ancient order meant to defend Equestria and the rest of the known world from threats deemed 'other worldly'.

Much to her dismay, Twilight is chosen to lead Equestria's first—and last—line of defense.

I figured I could put my ongoing misadventures in X-COM and turn them into a fic of some kind.

Kinda toyed with this idea for a bit until I was completely comfortable with it. Hope you like it! Please leave any feedback in the comments!

Thousands of years ago before Discord's imprisonment, a dark mage of unknown origins was brought into the fold of Equestrians growing government. Now, Princess Luna calls for the aid of Princess Cadence in hope to return the mage to the side of harmony.

Problem is... He's kind of a jackass

Rainbow Dash is gone.
Two Years ago she performed a trick to eclipse all others, and vanished without a trace. Everypony has started to get over it, although for five ponies the loss is to great even now.

However, a certain Cyan mare is hard to kill, and is loyal to the ends of the universe, she can say that with certainty now, she’s been, and now she’s back. But what is she wearing, and where did she go for two years? Buckle up, for in Equestria there may be peace, but in the 41st Millennium, there is only war.

Now with a sequel: The Descent into Madness

WARNING: Comments contain spoilers. Proceed into that section at your own risk.

Diplomacy has failed. Six years have passed Equestria's crowning of the princess of friendship, ushering in a supposed unprecedented age of peace and harmony. The concept of warfare is, to most ponies, nothing more than an unfathomable legend. They have let their guard down.

An unknown enemy has seized the opportunity to attack Equestria with terrifying new weapons of war, bent on taking the fertile land and restoring an ancient order. The valiant efforts of the Royal Guard have given Princess Twilight and her arcane scientists time to research and develop a response to their attackers, and the time has come for that response to be implemented. Utilizing weapons and tactics borrowed from another world, five squads under the command of Princess Luna will infiltrate the forests of the Equestrian Northwest to destroy a revolutionary magical matrix that Twilight refers to as the "radio" - a tool that allows enemy ponies to communicate across vast distances instantly.

Nightmare Two is comprised of three foalhood friends who, rather than be separated from each other in the draft, volunteer to become one of the five Nightmare squads. With their bodies forever altered to suit the needs of their mission, the three young mares join legions of ponies armed with powerful weapons to partake in a horrifying new breed of warfare - Equestria's first in over one thousand years.

Heads up, folks. If you wouldn't mind leaving a comment alongside the thumbs-down, I'd appreciate it. This is my first foray into fan fiction and although it's a hobby I nonetheless wish to get better. :)

Got some FAQ's for you guys as well!

- Alternate universe in which the events of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" did not occur. (As much as I loved it! :D)

- Numerical age tends to vary with headcanon, but the CMC here were just getting started with their adult lives when the draft went into effect.

- The war is pony v. pony, utilizing firearms and the Equestrian equivalent of a tank. The underlying headcanon is that ponies used firearms similar to muskets and tracked armored vehicles akin to our tanks in times of old, and what the enemy currently employs is essentially the natural progression of these technologies.

- There are no real-world weapons or equipment i.e. "Panzer IV," or "M16 assault rifle." Particularly acute details such as the caliber of weapons are also absent.

- Technology is based on that of WWI with some WWII elements. Firearms are primarily bolt-action.

- The "radio" spell matrix functions as what we know to be a radio, but is not identical.

- All four of a Night Mare's legs are permanently replaced by the augments.

- Night Mares are female. Stallions proved unable to properly animate the limbs.

This story is a sequel to Monsters

You might think that Equestrian nights are but serene exhibitions of Luna's work on the sky. You may believe that you can just lay out on the grass and admire the beautiful stars as a warm evening breeze caresses your mane. And you would be wrong.

Equestria is a magical place, and where there is magic, there is chaos. Dead rising from their graves, inanimate objects coming to life, strange apparitions making your foal cry in her room... sounds familiar? No? Then I'm doing my job right.

I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I work the Night Shift.

This follows canon up to the end of season 2.

It is the 41st Millennium in the Equestrian Imperium. It has been nearly 10,000 years since Empress Celestia banished Nightmare Moon, thus ending the Lunar Heresy. The Goddess-Empress of Ponykind senses Nightmare Moon returning to conquer the Equestrian Imperium. Space Marine Librarian Twilight Sparkle is summoned by the Empress to find five more Space Marines across the galaxy to eventually face Nightmare Moon.

Now, Twilight Sparkle and her trusty cyborg baby dragon assistant, Spike, travel the galaxy in search of these five ponies. Little does she know that in many parts of the galaxy, there is no harmony. In many parts of the grimdark galaxy...

There is only war.
