Accepted for an Equestria Daily Story post on September 24, 2017.
Shelved in the Royal Canterlot Library on August 12, 2019.

The Teen rating is for 10th century AD gender issues faced by a mare that are no longer experienced by the characters in modern (show canon) MLP.

Thanks to DoContra for pre-reading, plenty of suggestions, and copy-editing assistance. Thanks to Equestria Daily submission editors for a lot of stuff I fixed after they pointed out I missed it!

There’s no end to the monsters that lurk in the dark.

Ghosts, werewolves, mad scientists, cultists, mutants, zombies, vampires, aliens and more lie in wait in the dark corners of Equestria, terrorizing the night. But the most infamous and dangerous of them all is the legendary witch Twilight Sparkle, with a five hundred million bit bounty on her head.

Seeking fame and fortune, Rainbow Dash sets out to defeat the legendary witch and collect the massive reward. The one thing she wasn't counting on was Twilight being less evil than she expected.

Since time immemorial, the Horn of Celestia has stood above the ancient northern glaciers. It is older than the Empire, older than Equestria itself. The tower carries many ancient legends, but the most credible is this: that during the time of strife, ponies sacrificed their greatest powers to come together into a single kingdom, committed to peace and friendship forevermore.

Lyra Heartstrings is convinced there is more to this story, and after years of preparation, she has arrived at the tower with an expedition of friends and fellow experts to discover the truth for herself. One way or another, she will discover the secrets concealed in the ancient horn, even if it costs her everything.

This story was written on my Patreon as a commission for HMage, but was one of the earliest casualties of the pandemic. As a result, only part 1 of 2 was written. There are roughly eleven chapters taking us to what was meant to be the halfway point of the story. At least for now, the story will end there--not as a painful cliffhanger, but before our heroes transition to the next phase of their adventure.

The story is now continuing again on a monthly basis.

Editing by Two Bit and Sparktail, cover by Zutcha. The works.

An otherworldly new power falls into Chrysalis's hooves--or rather, it chose her. But will it lead to the conquest the queen has always wanted, or will it lead to another conclusion?

Takes place between the end of Season 2 and the start of Season 3.

Foreword:

If you have found this book, then I urge you to return it to where you have found it.

When I began writing this journal I thought this information valuable and even as I progressed I thought it necessary for the survival of my tribe. It wasn't until much later that I understood that what I have learned is priceless.

These secrets are not mine to share and they are not yours to learn.

Inside of these pages you will find the musings of a young fool and the language and history of two truly unique ponies. It is not history that I wish to be forgotten, but it must be hidden.

Again, I urge you, return this to its place.

DISCLAIMER: This is an experimental story meant to teach the absolute basics of a constructed language.

A companion piece to Babel and set in my Scorchedquestria universe. Not required reading as this story can stand on its own.

After a display of dissatisfaction turns into a revolution, Celestia found herself meeting a most unfortunate end at the hands of the mob. Being powerless to stop them or even muster up the courage to sway their minds, Twilight flees Canterlot and vows to bring Celestia back to life.

Through this vow the young unicorn starts to venture into territories of magic either hidden, forgotten, or unknown. On this path she encounters creatures and ancient entities that boggle her mind and aid her in her quest, but Twilight fears she might be losing the grander picture. Is the end of her journey bringing her beloved mentor back to life or is she slowly being corrupted by the miasma she now wades through?

Jon and Eugene, two lifelong friends since childhood both share a love for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. One day, as they were watching an episode, something strange happened. Discord broke the fourth wall, but not in the expected way.

Now, they are stuck in another world. They are not the same age, not the same gender anymore, nor are their bodies even human.

A terrifying situation. Lost in the woods all by themselves, without any to tether them to their previous life. But, they do have one thing; fantasies. And now, the means to act upon them.

It will be a friendly competition, to see who can earn Fluttershy's adoration.

Sex tag is for some of our more questionnable remarks. We don't know if this story will ever get bumped up to mature. We only have a vague idea of how things will play out.

This story is a collaboration between me and my best friend who wishes to remain Anonymous. (Holy shit, the real Anon?). It was my idea to write this together, so expect it to be different from my usual stuff. I just never thought we'd actually do it, so... here goes.

Note: Wow, can't believe we're on the featured list. I was honestly not expecting a good reception, considering the bizarre shit in this story.
Eugene (The Fluttershy Enjoyer) Note: What the fuck is wrong with y'all?

Twilight the dragon has never really felt at home in the Dragon Lands. Unlike most dragons, she values intelligence, and is seen as a pariah for it. But things change when she comes across a purple pony named Spike, who has come to the dragon lands on a "Friendship Mission."
But he must be in the wrong place. After all, dragons don't do friendship.
