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!

A noir-style take on My Little Dashie, starring everyone's favourite drug-addled ex-cop, Max Payne.

When griffons digging for coal in Avia make an unusual discovery, a royal wizard from Equestria is sent in to investigate.

Twilight lifts a pebble with her magic. Really, that's pretty much it. I just wanted to see if I could do a whole story based on a 1-second action.

Ork Nob 'Eadsmasha and his boyz were having the time of their lives: hijacking vehicles, stomping Chaos 'umies, making noise, everything a good ork could wish for. But when they are caught between Chaos and weirdboyz, they are sent to a world with no war, not much in the way of noise, not even a decent fungus beer.
Can they find something to do before they snap and start a new WAAAGH! in Equestria?

Twilight Sparkle faces the end of the world as she knows it. An epic three book series depicting the fall of Equestria and the rise of a new nation from the ashes.
I promise you intrepid explorers, bumbling changelings, lost civilizations, murderous trees, villainous nieces, flaming timberwolves, meddling time lords, graceful airships, monstrous bears, frozen dragons, mysterious cities, penitent farmers, stolen kisses, mythical gemstones, foreboding Pinkie twitches, missed parties, epic magical battles, unhelpful zebras, and perhaps even a phoenix or two.
I laughed, cried, and squeed while writing it; I hope you enjoy it too!
Features primarily Twilight Sparkle, Sunny Daze, and an OC, Apollo Dawn.

Rated T for brief (where appropriate) gore. This was written before season 3: it's in a season 2 universe; there are already some conflicts with season 3's canon... please disregard them.

I will be posting one chapter every day. If you want to read the entire story right away, you can find it at http://www.bronyville.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=4020&p=135925#p135925

If anybody feels like contributing artwork, feel free; and I'll likely add it to the appropriate chapter of the story.
If anyone wants to do a spin-off with some of the same characters, feel free, and let me know! I, myself, will probably make future fics using Apollo and his crew. There are some characters there who I didn't get to play around with and develop as much as I'd like to.

Poor financial decisions like forgoing star-spawn insurance and blowing all her bits on the Alicorn Amulet have left Trixie unable to pay for her appointment with the medium in Hollow Shades. Having discovered the magic of friendship, she has a deal to alter lest she incur the wrath of Tartarus. If only somepony who understood her plight could help her in her time of need. Unbeknownst to her, that somepony has been watching her perform from across the tavern.

Chris Sawyer is a park guest in line for a ride.

He has no idea how long it will be.

[Crossover with Rollercoaster Tycoon 2]

[Fore note: Absolutely NO knowledge of FTL is required to enjoy this. All that will get you is an occasional, "did he just make THAT into a pony pun?"]

Captain Ditzella "Derpy" Doo of the HMS Lunar Wrath has "acquired" information of vital importance in relation to the Rebel fleet's weakness, and the Rebels will stop at nothing to prevent it from spreading.

Derpy, along with her friend Engineer First Class Carrot Top and daughter Weapons Officer Dinky Doo, have made it their mission to deliver this information to the leaders of the Skylar Federation. The Skylar Federation, a collation of the Society of the Silver Moon, the Shining Liberators of the Sun, and several other different galactic governmental forces, is fighting a losing battle against the Rebellion. The information Derpy and her crew have, unbeknownst to the Federation, could turn the tides of the war in their favor. Now if only they could deliver it without needing to go through a hostile and unforgiving galaxy, while a fleet of angry Rebels is tailing their every move.

They're going to need all the help they can get.

Rating changed to Teen due to somewhat graphic content and minor swearing.

My undying gratitude goes out to TimeBaby and Grif for prereading and editing my mess, and helping make it more bearable. Thank you!

And thank you to my friend Coco, from whom I commissioned the new cover!

And many thanks to my friend Naxts, who created the new names for the NLR and SE. I changed them for a slightly more original approach to the story.

Another "Trixie decides to make amends with Twilight and moves in to become her student" story... Or is it? ...Nope, not really.
