An artifact causes an incident where Luna's gender switches, and she becomes prince instead.

Evidently, Luna turned out to be a handsome prince. Now having to deal with confused and judging nobility, lots of mares vying for the Prince's affection, the paparazzi eager to get more scoops on the new lunar prince, and a sister who seems to want the prince to stay judging by how she sees the entire situation hilarious, along with her pranks and quips, Luna will have to work hard with Twilight to solve the mystery of Starswirl's Sphere and hope that she can return back to a normal life.

Princess Luna has been through a tough life. A thousand years ago she could not control her jealousy, envy and rage and became the infamous Nightmare Moon. Then, she spent a thousand years on the moon, only to return, still as Nightmare Moon.

However, despite everything she has been through, her return to Equestria was warmly celebrated. Princess Luna is a pony that everypony loves, and she is completely forgiven for everything that's happened.

So, when Princess Luna is suddenly and unexpectedly killed, the entire nation of Equestria is thrown into grief and despair. Ponies everywhere find themselves unable to deal with the tragedy.

But the worst hit is Princess Celestia herself...

A United States Air Force AC-130 is transported to Equestria while in transit through the Bermuda Triangle. Insanity aside, this motley crew of aviators must juggle their duties while treading the uncertain waters of diplomacy.

Disclaimer: I've decided to write this in an attempt to get a more realistic view of what military in Equestria would act like, rather then the dark brooding kill happy stuff I've read. So with that being said, these guys will act more like diplomats. So there won't be much gore, and they certainly won't be going on a killing spree. (Obviously, as fiction the term realistic is applied loosely. My main goal is a realistic characterization of one specific community within the military. Just keep an open mind about how sub-cultures can exist within an entity as large as the U.S. military and you'll be fine.) Also rated teen for obvious reasons, morbid humor, light swearing, and background stories.

My name is Philomena.

I have held many other names, but this one has stood the test of time. I can still remember when she gave it to me, and that in itself is a testament to its importance.

I must tell my story, before I once again forget.

The Blot: an unearthly darkness, hostile towards all forms of life. This deadly enigma has swallowed up Ponyville, turning the once-thriving town into a pitch-black wasteland. In this new world, food and water are scarce, and the most precious resource of all is light.

Now, two survivors, Tinker Toy and his son, Gearhead, huddle in their home-turned shelter, hiding from the darkness. Without any contact with the rest of the world, father and son must work together to survive the waking nightmare they once called home.

Special thanks my pre-readers Rye Bread, jeray2000, sevenofeleven, and Mcstuffins!

A quick reaction, a seemingly normal response, yet things aren't as they seem. In a panicked decision, Twilight manages to find herself in a setting that's quite familiar but all the more strange. Where are the ponies? Her friends? Now, she only wishes to find some answers and get things back to normal. But, where to start?

It turns out the magic of friendship did not destroy the Wendigoes; it merely sealed them away until they could become more powerful. And once they did, they returned in one fell swoop, covering most of Equestria with snow and ice in a single night.

It's up to Spike to seek out seven ancient artifacts and to use them to defeat the Wendigoes once and for all, before they freeze the rest of the world.

The sun has gone out over Equestria, sending Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends off to Canterlot to deal with whatever new villain has caused the disaster.

...thankfully, it turns out to be a far smaller problem than anticipated.

Sometimes, it's good to talk about your feelings. Other times, the only way we can understand ourselves is to sit and listen to the silence...
