How far will you go to save your family? Your friends? Your empire? Twenty years before the events of the Hearth's Warming Eve story, long before the pegasi had even met the other two races, Commander Hurricane was a simple farmer in the great Cirran Empire. When the neighboring griffon nation declares war on Cirra and everything it stands for, the young Hurricane finds himself thrown into the middle of a conflict with the fate of his very race put into question. Will he rise to be the pegasus Cirra needs him to be, or will the mighty empire fall to the claws of the griffons?

Officially part of "The Price of Loyalty" storyverse, in collaboration with LoyalLiar.

Now with a side story! Come check out my friend Ruirik's Wind and Stone and follow along with the journey of another legionnaire who struggled through the Red Cloud War at the same time as Hurricane. (*contains references to events in the sequel to OSLF, Snow and Shadows, so be wary*)

We trained her.
We taught her.
We raised her to godhood.
She brought us down to earth.

The wheel of time turns, as destiny and history clash together.

Fifty years into the future, Sunset Shimmer is Princess Twilight Sparkle's most faithful student. She is smart and eager, but doesn't always think things through. Her life had been perfect, right up to the End of the World.

With a ruined future, Sunset travels into the past to alter the course of history. With only her mentor's cryptic word to go on, Sunset and the Elements of Harmony must solve the riddle of the Dark Regalia and stop the mysterious Vesper Radiance from rising to power. But the further Sunset goes, the more she feels like she's been through it all before.

Is destiny set in stone, or can Sunset shape her own future? Only time will tell.

The Sunset of Tropes page!

What began with an off-beat idea to make dildos from beans, after a journey spanning years, has led our heroines here, to a pivotal confrontation at a simple house party. This gathering is cut short in the last way Sunset Shimmer would have expected: with the mighty Beanos rising at last, her dread machinations plunging the world into turmoil. As an army of beandroids descend upon Canterlot City, sowing the seeds of despair as well as the seeds of actual bean plants, Sunset can no longer stand idle. Once more united under a common cause with her old friends, and some old enemies, the final battle for Twilight Sparkle’s soul is nigh.

The conclusion to the timeless tale of the Beanis, in the only way that makes sense: with giant anime robots. A Gurren Lagann pastiche, no prior knowledge of the show is required. So, no, the title is not a typo.

This story is a sequel to Saving Sunset Shimmer

Faced with Nightmare Moon's approaching return, Twilight, Tempest, and their classmates need help from an expert on the subject... a pony named Moondancer. There's just one problem: it's the last thing Moondancer wants to talk about...

And also check out the series, beginning with Not Exactly Friends.

I hope that you’ve opened this particular tome looking for a guide to the life of a traveling hero, presented through the story of a young unicorn rising up to defeat the disembodied spirit of a powerful and evil archmage.

If you’re not interested, you’re in the wrong section of the library for cookbooks, and for the record, I’m very sorry for the life you must live.

My name is Mortal Coil, and this is the beginning of the most important story in the history of Equestria.

A Price of Loyalty story.

Luna becomes the Princess of Detention. It's not because she was naughty. Stuck atop her lofty tower, it is up to her captives to save her from herself.

If only she didn't write her own demerits.

Now part of a trilogy. Because these things happen. Next up in the series is The Foundling, and this will be followed up with Princess Luna & the Curious Case of the Bitch Fish.

Following her heart, Princess Flurry Heart allows herself to be taken prisoner by Cozy Glow, Empress of Tartarus.

What if Wallflower Blush’s pony counterpart in Equestria…wasn’t a pony at all?

Enter Wallflower Blush. The most dangerous changeling in Equestria that you’ll never meet.

CONTENT WARNING: This story contains depictions of war violence which some readers may find disturbing. This is a work of fiction, and I do NOT condone the immoral actions in this story.

DISCLAIMER: I have never read The Perks of Being a Wallflower before. I'm not even sure what it's about. I thought of the title a year ago and thought it was too good of a wordplay to pass up; the actual story came much later.

Cover art traced from 1, 2.

Story is set sometime before the changeling reformation.

...and lo, Harmony spread Her Light across the world, and unto us, Her children, so that we should know Her virtues and live in happiness, and may Her Age persevere forevermore...

The Age of Harmony refuses to die. Flurry Heart seeks to kill it.

Heavily inspired by the vibes of Dark Souls.

An entry into FoME's Imposing Sovereigns III contest, with the unusual interpretation of Flurry Heart vs. Perseverance. Hopefully that counts.
