Unrelated to Prior Works - New Story, New Setting

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” ― Arthur C. Clarke

If you send a message to the stars, you just might get a reply. If one person can hear you speak, so can others. Some who hear your cry will extend a hand in friendship. Some will hear and think only of what they can gain by force.

Rainbow and Pandora learned this when Pan’s nightly chats his interstellar pen pal lead a fleet of interstellar pirates and slavers to Equestria. Where they found Rainbow’s friends.

Neither of them are happy about it. Both will try set things right, or die trying. Even if that means being lost forever in the void between stars.

As if things weren't bad enough for Twilight Sparkle now that she's been told that she's got two days left to live, new problems just seem to keep cropping up all over the place:

She has to tell everyone she knows that she's not going to live two days forth,
She has to set her affairs in order for after she's gone,
Oh... and Rainbow Dash seems to want to talk to her about something.

Twilight has forty-eight hours left to live and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon.

North of the Crystal Empire, Chrysalis is a queen without subjects. Starved of love and affection, all hope seems lost until she finds shelter in something that can only be described as ‘alien’.

For years, the smith was more than content. He had a home, a loving family, and the power to move between worlds. But a cruel artifact turned what had been a simple excursion into an indefinite sentence within the largest of gilded cages. And so he adapted, to survive and to thrive. Once the ultimate prize had been claimed, though, he was free. Free to return to his children.

However, events on Equus were still very much in motion during Angrath's absence...

Written as a part of my 100 Follower Special for FanOfMostEverything, who requested another Magic: The Gathering crossover. Literally nobody else participated.

The Order. A place without magic. A place with machines. A place where everyone has a role that they must adhere to and work.
Each role allows the Order to work smoothly like a machine. Or so it seems.

One day, as Tinker, a model mechanic pony goes about her day, she meets and encounter that will change her, and the world she lives in forever.

Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic and Hero of Equestria was thought lost in the event known as the Canterlot Catastrophe. But when a recon unit lead by Princess Celestia and Luna to see is anything can be salvaged from the castle finds traces of a survivor that leads them to her everything changes. However no one can live through what she has and truly survive intact, what will she do when she is saved? Will she even be the same pony, or something... else?

Vinyl remembers the doll. It's unmistakably hers, right down to the peanut butter stain on the left foot. Except it's in Octavia's closet, and Octavia insists it's always been hers. Why do they have the same doll – and the same memory?

“This has been one hell of a ride. I would go so far as to call this a minor masterpiece. It is quite unlike anything I have read up to this point (and I have read, approximately, a metric shit ton,) and it has left a real impression on me. So many try for the psychological mystery and fail horribly, but this was incredible. The reinterpretation of classic characters, concepts, and scenes from the show were amazing. With so many, I expected a few to fall flat, but you nailed every one.”

“So intriguing...
I can't stop reading it!”

“I like that this story is bringing up topics now that are incredibly complicated from both a moral and existential standpoint. [...]
Ok, ok, tldr; I like this a lot, because it’s making me and others think about the possibilities.”

Sunset's had enough. All the hate aimed at her on a daily bases for a crime she never even committed finally pushed her to the breaking point. When she finally decides to end the pain, a former victim of her cruelty becomes her savior. Now the battle to gather what little remains of Sunset's heart has begun, and with her new friends at her sides, will she be victorious or will Anon-a-miss finally break what's left of her?

This story is a sequel to They were MY changelings!

"Currently undergoing revisions"

Chrysalis, after being captured by the blue-purple hive, is given a perfect opportunity to exact her vengeance on Thorax and his 'abstergo changelings'. However, the queens are not as blind and vengeance-hungry as Chrysalis is. They're wary of the traitors to their own species, but they're moreso wary of those surrounding them.

With the discovery of a changeling hive, others have begun to surface as well, but queens all have their own goals and agendas, many with conflicting interests. With the increasing threat of changeling hives at each other's throats, the red hive is not far off.

Check source for art. This person has an amazing art style and coloring methodology.

The failed invasion of that mad queen, Chrysalis, rocked the changeling community. From the hives nestled outside Equestria, to their kin living in peace within, they watch those colorful ponies eye one another with suspicion and let themselves be swallowed by fear and distrust.

A gamble by Princess Celestia has summoned forth the diplomat to the Seekers, the one changeling who may be able to ease tensions between their races and restore balance. The Bearer of Magic has been summoned after a century of peace.

And, like her mother before her, Princess Twilight Sparkle will answer the call.
