Hippogriffs: The unlikely product of two substantially different worlds. Gruff, griffon-raised Gander has spent his entire life struggling to live up to the warrior ideal, praising strength and shunning weakness. Now, unwillingly ordered to Equestria to uncover his lost equine heritage, he might just learn that there might be more to these peace-loving ponies than meets the eye.

Assuming he survives the journey with his sanity in tact.

A short story written for the Outsider Insight EqD contest.

Equestrian history books are bathed in lies. Then again, that statement is incorrect. Equestrian history books are incomplete. They don't tell of everything Equestria did to get where it was today. They don't tell of the assassinations, the cover ups, the proxy wars, the uprisings and rebellions that were crushed before they could even start, the secret agreements, and most importantly,the very group that was responsible for all of these. Who is this group? That's a simple answer. We, are the Solar Cross. And you might ask how, how have we remained a secret for so long? Again, a simple answer. It is because of the one we serve. It is because of none other than Princess Celestia herself.

The Apple family has had a good last few years, ever since ponies found out they were friends with the princesses they've barely been able to keep up with demand. Applebloom is sent to Baltimare to run the family's newest store and is robbed the next day. When the police do nothing she decides to take matters into her own hooves. With the help of an old friend and Zebrican training, she'll do whatever it takes to fix Baltimare.

Times are hard especially for the changelings. Her subjects were starving and before long there kind will wither to nothing. What is a queen to do? Lucky a series of events might reveal a glimmer of hope Equestria has fallen into chaos. Surely in this state the ponies would be at there most vulnerable. But as she and a groups of changelings scour Equestria this blessing becomes a curse. Is it Discord's doings or something possibly far worse... "Who is Tirek?" Can the Queen of the changlings bring herself to team up with the most unlikely of allies and save Equestria? Can a Changeling magic be used for anything more the deception?

Twilight tries to find out why Celestia seemed so sad at the Grand Galloping Gala.

Featured 7/31/2014! My birthday! Thanks, guys!

I am a detective who goes on several cases with different assistants and here are my adventures. (feel free to skip the first chapter if you want) Most of the characters mentioned belong to thier respective owners. I write my stories using RP's

Despite the significant ideological differences between the Solar Empire and the New Lunar Republic, the two countries retain a relatively peaceful coexistence. It doesn't stop Princess Luna from recruiting soldiers and operatives from her rival's side; under her very nose, no less.

Swiftwind, a pegasus serving in the Solar Guard, hears Luna's call, and feeling his natural talents to be underutilized by the Solar Guard, heeds the call of Princess Luna and defects. While hesitant to leave his friends in the Solar Guard behind, he knows this is the best decision for him, and sets his mind on becoming the best soldier the Lunar Army has to offer.

EDIT IN 2019: I honestly forgot that I wrote this story and don't remember where this whole thing was going. I don't think I'll finish this one... and it's honestly not one of my better works.
