Just because the two sisters have led Equestria through thousands of years of peace doesn't mean there aren't those who think they can do better.

With a powerful artifact on their side, a group of rebels has sealed Celestia in her palace and stripped her of the majority of her powers. As the last of her guards fall, she hears the pounding on the throne room doors and knows the end is coming soon...

**Featured on the front page on 8/12/15; both surprising and flattering seeing as how this is the first thing of substantial length I've posted here. Thanks all!

**Now with a dramatic reading!

When Bulk Biceps asks for a day off from the spa to be with his marefriend on Hearts and Hooves Day, nopony could believe it. Who in her right mind would want to date him?

The question soon gains a life of its own, with every mare in Ponyville trying to find out, at times going to extraordinary lengths to do so. Even Twilight Sparkle herself falls victim to curiosity. Whatever the cost, the mystery will be solved!

A story inspired by the weekly prompt (moon) of the Hazardous Writing Materials and Challenges group.

Some ponies are shy creatures, and try to get through life without getting noticed too much. Other ponies are massive, hulking brutes that make as much noise as possible.

The two are seldom related.

North of Canterlot, in the far marches of Equestria near the border with the Griffon tribes, there is a mountain that flies.

West of Canterlot, beyond the Galloping Mountains and a desert painted in the pastel hues of a faded rainbow, a tower sits at the edge of the world.

South of Canterlot, past the Everfree forest and the desolate badlands, a city of gardens waits to be born.

Season 1: Three humans were transported to Equestria after buying a few souvenirs from a mysterious merchant at Comicon. After a misunderstanding with the Mane 6 they are forced to hide as Celestia herself sends her forces to capture them. Armed with only a couple objects, their natural skills, and a bit of knowledge of the MLP universe, these three are going to have to join forces with others like themselves in order to survive.

A Displaced/HiE Fic.

Just a heads up, this is my first story. Feel free to leave a comment if you liked it. Enjoy!
Criticism is greatly appreciated.

Disclaimer: I do not own My Little Pony. MLP belongs to Hasbro. I own nothing except for the Human characters. Also, any similarities with already existing stories are completely coincidental.

I don't see what all the fuss about death is. Our princesses have been dodging it for over a thousand years. Who's to say Sweetie and I can't experiment a little? No, don't be ridiculous, zombies don't exist. Not yet, anyway.

[As seen on Equestria Daily.]

Two decades after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, her shadow still lingers. Princess Celestia has been left to tend the Twin Thrones alone and protect us all from those who would see Equestria crumble. Our enemies take many forms: some would tear the world down with their claws, others with their smiles. They are monsters all the same.

I have had many names, and I have been many things. Today I am Swift Sweep, and I work for the Equestrian Bureau for State Security.

Five years ago, the Free States seceded. Five years ago, the Princesses were taken captive. Five years ago, Equestria embarked on a bloody war that would cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

For five years, Rainbow Dash has fought to save her friends. For five years, the sun and moon have hung overhead, motionless. For five years, Rainbow has lived in that wan glow, while every day kills her a little bit more. The peace and happiness of her youth are but faded memories, and now she hardly recognizes the town she once called home. A hardened mare, Rainbow knows only pain and suffering...

...until one day, a reminder of what life used to be like lands at her hooves, and gives her something to live for once more.

This is Angelo. Angelo works as a bartender in a five star restaurant, the Hay Palace. There some of Ponyville’s biggest celebrities come in to have a drink. Sometimes they share stories and even secrets. Because, as we all know, what the bartender hear is, stays as a secret, right?

This was inspired by Doug Walker's Video Game Confessions (if you haven't guessed already). it is a silly project I wanted to write just because. The stories here will be rather short and mostly random and weird. If you have any suggestions for the next character leave it in the comment below. Enjoy, i guess

It was supposed to be just another night watch, but fate had other plans for our favorite princess of the night. A new foe arises from the depths of Tartarus and threatens to lead Luna back to her Nightmare ways. Who is this mysterious beast and what are his treacherous plans for Equestria?
