Sometimes you come up with a setting for a story, a setting you really like the premise of. It has all the elements that you'd look for in a story you'd want to read, and you're ready to get invested in that idea. There's just one problem.

There's no story that goes with that setting.

That is what this compilation of stories is. Stories I wrote a prologue, maybe even a chapter or two of, but either have no idea what kind of a story I would want to tell with them, or where they would go in the future. I like the ideas enough that I wanted to share them, but want to let people know ahead of time that I'm not sure if anything will come of them either. Heck, If I get enough feedback I might even be able to be inspired to turn them into full stories, or if someone else has a decent idea for a fic based off of one of these premises, I might even let them use it for themselves.

With that said, those of you who still want to read a weird set of settings like this, I hope you enjoy what there is to be had.

Also all of them involve Sunset Shimmer, because I'm a little obsessed.

In Canterlot High School, every student is wild over the world's most popular trading card game: Duel Monsters! Every day, players of the card game, known as "Duelists", go head-to-head to see who among them is the best around. Among the Duelists in attendance at CHS, one of the best is a young teenager named Sunset Shimmer, a girl from another world...

Another crossover series, this time combining the worlds of Equestria Girls and the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. The series is basically a retelling of the story of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, from the point of view of the EG cast, taking place between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games.

The story follows Sunset Shimmer, who is credited as the strongest Duelist in Canterlot High School. However, her skills are put to the test when she unwittingly releases a dangerous power into her world; a power that alters the egos of those that come into contact with it. Now Sunset has tasked herself with trying to return that power back to where it came from, hopefully before that power creates a real world crisis. She'll need the help of her friends, and the power of her Deck, to see her through the tough battles ahead...

Though the story is based mostly on Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL's story, I have taken a few creative liberties, such as allowing a more heavy use of Synchro and Fusion Monsters in addition to Xyz Monsters (which are still mostly the main focus). Although none of the new Pendulum Monsters (or Link Monsters) will appear, expect to see a few cards from Arc-V (and VRAINS) to pop up.

All Duels shown use the current rules and rulings (excluding Link Summoning) at the time they were written. If you need a more detailed explanation of the game's rules, go to yugioh-card.com to find a digital version of the rulebook, as well as other vital information. With all that said...

IT'S TIME TO DUEL!

Updates whenever I can finish a new Rank, always updating on the last full week of a month.

UPDATE: RANK 61 - Part 1 of a 2-part episode - had been posted!

In Derpy Hooves early life, not much is known about the small Pegasus filly, nothing besides the aftermath of her lovable acts, and the fact that she one day showed up out of nowhere as one of the newly accepted foals of the Ponyville Orphanage. In this story, we explore one of the very first exploits Derpy began on her valiant quest to welcome the enigmatic Pinkie Pie!

Until she gave up and switched targets-uhm, ponies.

Ted Valiant has been running the Valiant and Valiant detective agency on his own since his father Eddie passed away. When Twilight Sparkle, one of the stars of the hit show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, goes missing, the studio calls Ted to find their missing actress.

Crossover with Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Twilight knew right from when she was a foal, she wasn't interested in 'dating' as so many promptly put it. She always blamed the books for this, as she wasn't really interested in making friends either. But after that fateful day when she defeated Nightmare Moon, she knew, deep down, that there had to be something else to it. The thought never really concerned her until a certain blue mare had ended up staying with her.

Princess Celestia has a problem. Or perhaps it's Twilight Sparkle that has one.

Every few weeks, an intoxicated Twilight Sparkle will randomly teleport into Celestia's castle in search of snacks or simply for a place to crash.

So what could this all have to do with Celestia in particular?

Now with a reading! HERE!

I like my job, but of course I look forward to coming home at the end of the day. Especially lately. We have a daughter now. We actually have a daughter. And I can’t wait to see her.
