I have always been alone in this forest. I have always feasted in this forest. I call this forest home and those ponies that travel through it are my prey. I devour all those who fear me, all who come to face me. They fear me for I am Fear incarnate. But now...I have met one who does not fear...and I am unsure of what do with her...

For prosecutor Tanya Scintillate, the path of the law is the safest one to take. Like a breeze, it always carries her to victory. Prestige, wealth, brains... Tanya's got it all.

And then there's Ned Dracone. An old teacher, he's accused of being the one that lit the match that caused Cloudsdale High School to burn to the ground. No big deal for Tanya; the old creep looks like he's prone to stress and pressure anyway, what with his grey skin and other weird traits. He just wanted to vent some anger. An easy win for the prosecution, with no hidden circumstances to the case that could compromise her victory.

Right?

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Written as a contest entry for Prompt 4 on the Author Support group. I await the jury's verdict on this one.

Something I want to point out: this is an Alternate Universe story. The characters are, for the most part, humanized versions of some characters from the show. I will admit that they might be OOC, but I think they should be seen more as a new take on them almost to the point of being OCs than just a human reproduction of the original characters.

I absolutely cannot guarantee the technical accuracy of the events in this fiction, in terms of legal procedures during a trial. In other words if some of you read this with in-depth knowledge of such procedures, and think "Wait, that's not how a trial goes" or something like that, please keep in mind I have no such knowledge. In fact, if you have such a comment, please share it with me. Naturally I have written this fic according to correct trial protocol, but when it comes to that I'm hardly any more educated than what I see on TV in Law & Order.

Picture is sort of unrelated, but it's what I physically based Ned Dracone on. It's not my art either (couldn't find the author)

Nay for valor,

or thirst for blood,

we serve the crown,

a crushing flood,

every's duty,

to protect each other,

less we fail,

and lose one another...

He had failed.

Twilight Sparkle's imagination as a child was unbelievable, probably due to all those books. Which also make up the amazing Fort Book, Twilightopia's first stronghold against the country of Armor! With the help of Captain Smartypants and Private Cadence, General Twilight defends her fort against her brother's advancing army of one!
A tale of Twi's childhood told from her point of view.

Inspired by the cover picture.

All of Equestria is united in celebration for the return of their beloved Princess Nightmare Moon. But when Celestia and everypony else recieve her she's skeletally starved, filthy, and very nearly dead. Meanwhile, while everypony's eye is turned, a lusty Blueblood pursues Twilight Sparkle, intent on adding her bloodline to his own so his family might step closer to godhood. (Alternate Universe, there never was a Princess Luna)

“And it's something quite peculiar,/Something shimmering and white./Leads you here despite your destination,/Under the Milky Way tonight.” –The Church, ‘Under The Milky Way’

While stargazing late one night, Twilight Sparkle notices a mysterious object falling from the heavens and landing just outside of Ponyville. Allowing her curiosity to get the best of her, Twilight goes to investigate, and what she finds surprises her. She finds a brown stallion on the inside of a blue wooden box. Who is this pony and why does he ask Twilight to trust him?

Rainbow Dash doesn't like anypony touching her hooves for a reason. While at a slumber party at Rarity's, Rainbow's closest friends are about to find out just what that reason is. She only wished that it was simply about getting the hiccups.

Faraway lands bathed in peace.
A human wishing for an escape.

This is their meeting. The moment of reflection. Of thinking back, and thinking forward. Of choice.

What awaits beyond, when you leave all you can imagine behind?

[2nd-Person Fic starring you and Vinyl Scratch]

Being a human, you are quite the unique specimen. Though you stand out among pastel-colored ponies in your wake, your form does allow for something many ponies aren't properly equipped for. A certain DJ took notice of this specialty, and decided to take you under her wing...

A/N: Just a simple one-shot with Vinyl Scratch. Yes, another story inspired by music. Seems to be my best inspiration, music does.

Rated [Saucy] by SFG's rating system. Be prepared for some heat!

Enjoy!
