Since time immemorial, there have been hellish creatures that secretly prey upon the living of Equestria, However, Darkness exists because Light exists, and Light exists because Darkness exists. To combat this threat, a group of warriors was formed - they gave their very lives so ponies can live without fear and look forward to a brighter future, yet their feats and sacrifices were untold, for like the enemies they hunt, they too, operate in secrecy. Yet, despite their efforts, they cannot fully eradicate their enemies; if anything, there seems to be more and more of those monsters as time passed...

Today, one of the most talented amongst the warriors is none other than Twilight Sparkle. But how did she get involved with such a fate? Can she keep her secret mission from her new friends? Most importantly, can she learn the magic of friendship, and fulfil her dark responsibility at the same?

Inspired mostly by the Japanese series Garo, and some ideas/elements taken from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger & Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

Inspiration is Rarity's Element, and Sweetie Belle her greatest achievement. But the filly has questions, ones that Rarity might not be able to answer on her own. What makes a pony? How can somepony know if they really are alive? Are they alive if they laugh and cry? Are they alive if they think, if they make mistakes and have ideas?

If Sweetie Belle is nothing more than a collection of wires, is she truly alive?

Unable to tell reality apart from his imagination, John's world is falling through the cracks. He can't tell if this place is real or is just his mind's conjuration of a world where he can escape his own. Cortana told him he was home. Is this what she meant, or is he just unable to open his eyes and accept what happened?

=====================================================

If you came to hear a story, I’m sorry to disappoint. I suspect this’ll just end up as one big confession, really. When you’re the first Teutscher to set hoof into Equestria, I suppose that’s to be expected. And when you’re the universe’s favorite chew toy, doubly so. Still, with enough wit, some Prussian ingenuity, a droll sense of humor, and wanton murder, I might just survive this. Then again, when you’re going up against an unending list of things like government conspiracies, that guardian angel who keeps telling you to kill ponies, psycho Equestrian girls with allophilia, a lunatic princess, the legions of the Inferno, the Equestrian culture itself, swashbuckling sword fights, and laissez-faire economists, you begin to realize why there’s a big “if” in the middle of your life.

Your thoughts/critiques/deathreats are welcome in the comments. Spoilers are also encouraged. If you don’t have anything to complain about, do please tell me what you liked so I know what worked.

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

Hearth's Warming is a time for friends and family to come together, celebrate harmony, and welcome the new year. Nyx is looking forward to just this as she rides the train to Canterlot with Spike and Twilight. She's going to meet her extended family for the first time and wants nothing more than to make a good impression. Yet, the sheen of the holidays can't hide the trouble caused by meddling grandparents, relentless reporters, and a paranoid uncle.

Set in an alternate universe in which Twilight never become and Alicorn, and where Ponies and Humans co-exist in harmony, Aaron Rogers comes back from his extended stay in Russia to find that someone has moved into the house right next to his while he was gone. It seems that he has a new neighbor.

*Note that the divider used in this description is not the one used in the story. It seems unnecessary to say this, but I have gotten raging downvotes for something similar before. Srs. -_-

For Equestria!

Once, ponies whisper, the Princess had another student named Twilight Sparkle, but she left Equestria, never to return. The pony who has a perfect life just needs one more thing—to convince Twilight Sparkle to come home so the Princess will smile again. But when Siren arrives in pursuit of Twilight, she soon finds herself trapped in a city of horrors, with only its monstrous denizens for help.
