Chrysalis kidnaps Rainbow Dash and holds her for ransom.

This same Rainbow Dash also happens to be engaged to the immensely powerful Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Chrysalis is not a very smart changeling.

A millenium before the adventures of Twilight Sparkle, Equestria faces a different threat: minotaurs. When the Crystal Empire's northern defences are breached by the minotaur hordes, Equestria must raise an army for its defence.

Falabella Mulan enlists in the army to spare her father and younger brother from having to fight. But is the army the right place for this small unicorn mare?

One pony may be the difference between victory and defeat.

The story is largely based upon Disney's Mulan, though it's also influenced by the original Chinese epic poem, and will include added sub-plots detailing the political machinations within Equestria, the Crystal Empire, and the minotaur nation, covering an extra battle and an adventure in old Manehattan, and delving into the origin stories of a couple of My Little Pony villains.

Cover art based on moe's castle ruins, and Equestria Prevails' Amethyst Star.

Starlight Glimmer's own personal account told in interview like style of her foalhood, how she was raised, how she came to believe what she believes, her adulthood, and all around what shaped her into the mare she is.

Starlight Glimmer, "What cause is more noble than equality and freedom? Since friendships are based on similarities, differences are the enemy of friendship."

Starlight (of My Little Pony Tales, G1,) "Now all anyone will think when they hear my name is HER! And the evil she's done! My name is mucked in SHAME twice over! No one will ever even REMEMBER! All they'll ever remember is that monster!"

Just how did Starlight Glimmer become a self-styled white knight of equality and freedom, and a complete and utter zealot against cutie marks.

Starlight Glimmer had a painful fall, but she is more than determined to finish what she started. The message of Equality needs to spread across Equestria, and she knows just the mares who can help her...no matter how many years it takes.

But she soon finds out that raising six fillies that still represent the Elements of Harmony is easier said than done.

Princess Luna has raised the moon countless times in her life, but tonight was the first time she received a gift and an invitation to Celestia's chambers after doing so. While she accepts, she can't understand why the offer was made. There was nothing special about the day.

But she's wrong. Today was the day the newest letter from Ponyville arrived.

Siblings don't always look alike. But when it comes to their own personal tastes... there are rarely any similarities. To say the least they are the most intimate of strangers. The more they fight the closer they are, that is, until one of them grows up. Than all interaction ceases to exist. Too bad that's not the case here. But one thing is for certain.

There will be blood-shed.

Story Description: Drowned in a lake of misery, an apparent suicide attempt leaves a changeling in the hospital. As he battles with amnesia, he finds himself at the center of a very dangerous game between two knowledgeable mares. On this pretender's journey of self-discovery he learns some questions are better left unanswered. However, obsession is never so kind as to simply let things be, and prying has its consequences.

Special Thanks to my proof-readers and editors: Annwn, Malefactory, and TABrony.

Author's Note: This story is a deconstruction of individual identity using a race that canonically has none. It is approached through the lens of a changeling who, by their biology, do not have the classical identifiers of identity that come with a consistent single form. It focuses on what it means to be, rather than one's place in the world.

While looking through a big book of spells, Trixie finds one she's never tried before. One that'll let her get even closer to her friends!
Can anything go wrong? Oh sweet Luna! Yes, yes it can!

Set in the Trio-verse, an AU where Celestia was banished, and Luna took up Sunset, Trixie and Twilight as her students. Recommend reading Luna's Protégé and The Fillies of Canterlot Castle before this one.

I had been a tool for them, too many years passed in front of my eyes that I stopped counting them.

I came to your to land to complete the purpose which I see with utter disgust.

And failed...

and that was good.

You never knew of my existence until those kind souls presented me to you and your sister.

I never lied to any of you; instead I avoided your questions or merely responding them with half truths.

All of you together taught me to laugh again.

But you made me smile.

But they never capitulated; they wanted to finish what was started years ago.

That’s why I came to you that night; in seek for help or a simple advice, anything but what really happened.

But I don’t regret it.

Now the two of us stand in front of each other, only the victor would leave the battlefield…

Alive.

I can only hope you have the strength to deliver the final blow which I craved for so long.

I am only a tool after all.
