Everyone who knows Rainbow Dash also knows she's a tomboy, and everyone doubts she is interested in boys, or in romance at all.

Should they make a bet on who will stay single all life long, they would probably pick her. Even though a lot of people find her attractive, she just repel everything that could make her look like a "girly girl".

But what if she had a secret crush on somebody? And what if her secret was revealed?

Rated T as a suggestion and a rap reference, actually enjoyable by Everyone (I hope).
Written for August MacDash contest.

Diplomacy has failed. Six years have passed Equestria's crowning of the princess of friendship, ushering in a supposed unprecedented age of peace and harmony. The concept of warfare is, to most ponies, nothing more than an unfathomable legend. They have let their guard down.

An unknown enemy has seized the opportunity to attack Equestria with terrifying new weapons of war, bent on taking the fertile land and restoring an ancient order. The valiant efforts of the Royal Guard have given Princess Twilight and her arcane scientists time to research and develop a response to their attackers, and the time has come for that response to be implemented. Utilizing weapons and tactics borrowed from another world, five squads under the command of Princess Luna will infiltrate the forests of the Equestrian Northwest to destroy a revolutionary magical matrix that Twilight refers to as the "radio" - a tool that allows enemy ponies to communicate across vast distances instantly.

Nightmare Two is comprised of three foalhood friends who, rather than be separated from each other in the draft, volunteer to become one of the five Nightmare squads. With their bodies forever altered to suit the needs of their mission, the three young mares join legions of ponies armed with powerful weapons to partake in a horrifying new breed of warfare - Equestria's first in over one thousand years.

Heads up, folks. If you wouldn't mind leaving a comment alongside the thumbs-down, I'd appreciate it. This is my first foray into fan fiction and although it's a hobby I nonetheless wish to get better. :)

Got some FAQ's for you guys as well!

- Alternate universe in which the events of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" did not occur. (As much as I loved it! :D)

- Numerical age tends to vary with headcanon, but the CMC here were just getting started with their adult lives when the draft went into effect.

- The war is pony v. pony, utilizing firearms and the Equestrian equivalent of a tank. The underlying headcanon is that ponies used firearms similar to muskets and tracked armored vehicles akin to our tanks in times of old, and what the enemy currently employs is essentially the natural progression of these technologies.

- There are no real-world weapons or equipment i.e. "Panzer IV," or "M16 assault rifle." Particularly acute details such as the caliber of weapons are also absent.

- Technology is based on that of WWI with some WWII elements. Firearms are primarily bolt-action.

- The "radio" spell matrix functions as what we know to be a radio, but is not identical.

- All four of a Night Mare's legs are permanently replaced by the augments.

- Night Mares are female. Stallions proved unable to properly animate the limbs.

The engagement of Big Mac and Rainbow Dash is the talk of Ponyville! Everypony wants to know how the proposal happened, when the date is, and how Rainbow Dash reacted! There is only one problem, Big Mac never proposed. Now Rainbow Dash has to try to get through a normal day with everypony trying to find out how the proposal happened and how she is planning her wedding.

This is a very late Valentines Day story dedicated to the one and only Jake the Army Guy. I wanted to have this story done before he came back, but that didn't go as planned. So here you go brother, a large MacDash story just for you!

Big shout outs goes out to Arbarano and The Masked Ferret for all the edits and idea bouncing. I am sure both of them have gone a bit insane because of it.

Art is done by KeyLimePie, go check them out on Facebook!

Despite herself, Twilight starts to think that Rainbow Dash might be right about Rarity having a crush on Big McIntosh. And, well, friends help friends out in situations like this, don't they?

Many thanks to Present Perfect for editorial advice and to the following artists whose work I cut up for the cover image: The Crusius for Twilight and Rainbow; Fehlung for Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and Fluttershy; RedInk853 for Big Mac; and Jeatz-Axl for Spike.

"And why in the Emperor's name is there a Khornate Berserker snoring on the floor?"
-Inquisitor Carpathos

Six grim warriors from a dark galaxy torn apart by ferocious flames of war. Their hearts turned cold by decades of ceaseless slaughter. Their hopes and dreams long abandoned. Their love replaced with raw hatred.

Discord thinks it would be a "fun little challenge" for Twilight and her friends to persuade these psychopaths to befriend each other and have them embrace the magic of friendship.

What could possibly go wrong?

*With a heavy heart, I must declare this story cancelled. Though it lacks a true ending, I encourage each and every one of you to make your own. May your vision create something even grander than my own. -Derply*
After the events of Twilight's Kingdom, vegetation across Ponyville has been thrown into disarray thanks to Twilight's new unintentional death castle. But while some plants have been sucked dry, others have flourished, such as the infamous Poison Joke.

Enter Big Mac; a stallion of few words whose about to get a few dozen more whether he, or anypony else, likes it or not.

(WARNING: While it gets silly at times, this fic borderlines between needing and not needing the tragedy tag. Contains character deconstructions that may upset people.)

This story is a sequel to When the Stars Align

After the most bizzare week of her life, Starburst, the daughter of Princess Twilight Sparkle, finds herself in a relationship with Starfall. Despite their personalities being opposite of one another, she agreed to go on a date with the unicorn, and fell asleep next to him feeling happy and safe.

But will this relationship survive the test of time? Between Starfall's not so great beginnings in Ponyville, his tragic past, Starburst's family's attitude, and, worst of all, her friends' merciless jokes, does it even stand a chance?

What does their future hold?

Big Macintosh the apple families stoic stallion. The heartthrob of every mare in Ponyville not a filly fooler, has his eyes set on a lavender bookish unicorn mare. Yet in his mind a prismatic mane, a cyan coat and wings, and magenta eyes are clouding his judgment. Still he proceeds to bear his heart to the unicorn, only to have it shoved right back in his face. He strikes up a consoling conversation with the pegasus and over the course of Winter Wrap Up the two draw ever closer. This is a sequel to Soarin's Pink Pie

Octavia Philharmonica was one of the most skilled classically-trained cellists of her generation. She could book entire concert halls chock full of mares and stallions from across the land to hear the somber anthems of her instrument of choice: the cello.

After the complete disaster that was the 1000th Annual Grand Galloping Gala, she found herself banned from doing that which was her life's only calling. Alone and with nopony to turn to, she finds unexpected companionship in the current patron of the Apple Family, a certain red stallion by the name of Big Macintosh.

Mad props to Scootareader for having the patience to pre-read this as I wrote it as well. In my previous fics, I had never used pre-readers. Yeah, I know. Nooooot smart.

Discord has never been one to let things go as planned, plans are tedious and overall unnecessary. So what happen's when Celestia demands for Discord to adopt our favorite Pegasus Cutie Mark Crusader? Well let's just say, if he's gonna be a dad, he's doing it his way. Add that to some assistance from a cranky Changeling Queen and let's wish our little Scoots good luck shall we?
