M.A.N.E.

Mutually Assured Nuclear Extinction.

For fifteen years Equestria has been involved in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with their neighbour to the northwest, the Union Of Saddle Republics. The doctrine of M.A.N.E. has kept things relatively peaceful so far- both nations know that any nuclear attack will be met by a response in kind, and that there are no winners in a nuclear war. But now, border disputes and a few trigger happy ponies threaten to turn the cold war hot...

How far will a pony go for family? Will they fight dragons and Hydras? Will they fight even dreaded Ursa Major's? Will they fight that which has been torturing and breaking them for nearly a thousand years? Will they defy Princesses, Chaos, and even Fate itself to stop the horrors that have been inflicted upon their innocent daughters, sisters and mothers?

For the first time in nearly a thousand years the descendants of Lulamoon are going to answer those questions. Even if Equestria doesn't want them answered.

This story is a sequel to Outlaw Mares 1: A Hoof Full of Trixie

Trixie Lulamoon struggles with her quiet life as a stage magician and budding novelist. Then, one evening she receives an anonymous letter that tips her off to a relic that needs her attention. Curious to see where this leads, Trixie embarks on a journey back west where she finds that not only are some stories real, but so are some fictional heroes.

Trixie finds herself caught up in a conspiracy and the target of the undeniable unstoppable world-class adventurer, Daring Do!

An innocuous trip into the Everfree Forest for Twilight Sparkle quickly turns into much more, leaving our heroine caught between bloodthirsty monsters, an ancient conspiracy of evil, straining friendships, and the maddening effects of a certain blue unicorn...

When a experiment gone wrong lands a ruthless and powerful foe in the middle of Equestria, Twilight and her friends must put trust in a battered group of human soldiers if they are to stave off a revolution of the Bolshevik variety...

Hearts and Hooves day, a day rather infamous in Cheerilee's classroom. Apple Bloom needs to help out at the farm since Big Mac has plans, leaving Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle to figure out what to do with their time. An off-hoof suggestion points them in the direction of a date, given the holiday. From there, they try to figure out the rest.

This story is a sequel to New Discoveries

It has been three months since Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo confessed their feelings for one another. For them, life has seemingly gone back to normal. However, everything changes when a new foal comes to Ponyville and ignites feelings within Sweetie Belle, feelings that she hadn't felt in a long time. Their love, loyalty and trust are put to the ultimate test as Sweetie Belle must face a shocking revelation: are her feelings for Scootaloo true or was it all just a phase that has run its course?

All magic vanished from the world when Discord fell. Along with it, the might of the unicorns and alicorn princesses dwindled. Even the Elements Of Harmony lost their potence and were lost in the sea of time.

Left without the guidance of the alicorns and the magic of harmony, the ponies soon raised Equestria to a country ruled by science and industry. But still, some remain who dream of magic.

As the mysterious beast Magia threatens the world, a sickly filly named Twilight Sparkle and five friends take it upon themselves to delve into the caverns beneath Canterlot to find the burial ground of magic, the Lunarium.

This is an ongoing Rewrite. The story in and of itself was finished in April 2013 but needed some massive editing. This new version features all new scenes, better descriptions, less mistakes, 3D-Effects, and a gratis code for the DLC-Character "Emo Pie", which on any other occasion would've been a pre-order bonus only.

Or something.

Also thanks to everybody who helps/ed editing this story, no matter if you did only help me with one chapter or all. Thank you for turning this rewrite from another mess into a brilliant story!

After the events of the Royal Wedding between Princess Cadence and Shining Armour, the kingdom of Equestria has never enjoyed more peace.

However, a disgraced unicorn, Trixie, has come to Twilight asking for help at the hint of a threat that will lead to the eventual downfall of the royal family and a civil war of Equestria. It is the actions of Twilight and her friends, of the ashamed and demoralised Princess Celestia and the unduly-feared-if-hardworking Princess Luna, will decide how this ends.

Will the ties between the races of unicorn, pegasus and earth pony hold even in the face of this new threat? Without the ties of the Royals to bind them? Will the other races, long envious of the prosperity of Equestria, see an opportunity?

Will Equestria survive? Or will a new ruler rise up and claim it for her own?

[Part Two of the Riflepony Series] Braeburn was once a simple, humble farmer; not the type of pony one would look at twice. But a little over a year ago, all of that changed. Before then, he hadn't met the pony of his dreams. Before then, he hadn't discovered his lineage and new-found talent. Before then, he hadn't been prepared for the adventure that he was about to embark on. Now all the cards are on the table, and not just his life. Join Braeburn and Daring Do in this high-action installment of the Riflepony Series as they struggle with not only a new quest, but with fate as well. Old enemies have returned, and have formed a fearsome alliance. In the midst of chaos and absolute danger, Braeburn might have to break his one and only rule, as the new Colt of the West.
