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.

When Rainbow Dash receives a package from her grandfather, she discovers an artifact of immense power and potential. An artifact that holds dominion over the very destiny of each and every pony's threads of fate. In the wrong hooves, it could be dangerous, catastrophic even.

Naturally, she abuses it.

This story is a sequel to The Dresden Fillies: Strange Friends

Almost a year has gone by for Harry Dresden since he left Equestria. He'd have written, but between saving his newly discovered brother and destroying a scourge of vampires he's been a little busy. Then out of the blue he receives a strange letter from Twilight asking him to return. With no cases at the moment he eagerly accepts, but his friends aren't the only ponies expecting him. There's been a lot of rumors since his last visit and some ponies aren't too keen on seeing him come back.

A sequel to The Dresden Fillies: Strange Friends.

Equestria stands on the brink of ruin. A necromancer has raised an army of the dead and is poised to plunge the world into darkness. Monsters and brigands roam freely across the land, preying upon the innocent.

Only one hope remains. Armed with swords, spells, snacks, and a bag of dice, five heroes band together to defeat the forces of evil… if their rolls are good enough.

Welcome to gaming night in Ponyville.

SAPIENT HORSES EMERGING ACROSS THE NATION
That is the common headline that most news stations and papers have these days. It started off small, with only two, then it grew with each passing day with no signs of slowing down. It was like a fanfiction come to life, something that seemed too surreal to be true, but yet was happening right before our eyes.

... Well, most people's eyes, because I was always cooped up in my room playing games. I tended to keep out of current events, usually paying no mind to them while I played stuff like Dark Souls. I would just wait it out until this blew over, as I was sure that everything would be back to normal.

I couldn't have been more wrong about that, as one morning, after having a Skyrim binge, I had the shock of my life when I discovered I was now inhabiting the body of Equestria's Queen of Electronica, Vinyl Scratch. Now, driven by nothing but sheer curiosity, I, Gage LeBoeuf, who was once a normal gamer from Louisiana, must now travel to New York to find answers and possibly a cure to my strange condition.

I mean, it's just a simple road trip; what could possibly go wrong? Turns out, almost everything.

The good Doctor Horrible, now full villain of the Evil League of Evil, has begun to look back on his quest to get to where he is. Rewatching his old blogs, he remembers the liquid gold that he managed to pull from the bank with his transmatter ray. It may not be about making money, but not many people will believe you took gold bars when your proof is the same consistency as water. So in an attempt to fix the problem, he plans to rework the old transmatter ray and make the liquid go back into a more solidified state.

That's... when things don't go so well. When the smoke clears and the Doctor sees what has happened, he's in a different basement, in a different world, in a different body. Now, the aptly named Doctor Adorable, AKA Fluttershy, needs to learn how to either return back to Earth, or live out this new life that has actual friends that care about him... her... it's confusing.

Based on, what else? Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and Dr. Adorable's Ask-Along Blog

Umm... and if you want to give me a better picture than the one I'm using, then that would be great... that is, if you don't mind...

Fluttershy lives a normal pony life: Simple needs, good friends, an established reality around her... and so, she starts her day as usual. Until Discord visits. But she has stuff to do.

Warning: Read at your own risk. When I say Random, I mean Random.

Rainbow Dash is many things. Mainly awesome. But romantic, certainly not. Of all the ponies who would attempt a forbidden romance, nopony would have thought she would.

Now she finds herself head over hooves in love with a mortal enemy of the country. On top of that, she has to face the one group of ponies she's terrified of rejecting her new found romance: her best friends.

[Tales of the Carnageverse]

Note: This story was created as a prompt from the RD Random Shipping Game. The game required you to roll a dice and depending on the number, you would then write a 100-500 word ship with a corresponding character. I got number 13 which was a male changeling. The rest of the story is a continuation from the prompt.
