Parents tell their foals that they can be anything that they want.
For me, however, it's a bit more literal.
At least it would be if my parents had said that.
Or if I knew them at all!
So what do you do when you can become anypony?
You become a spy, of course.

BEWARE: SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS

Everything was so confusing when I woke up in that forest all alone.

I don’t remember who I used to be, where I come from, or even my real name. I don’t know what happened to me, but I guess I’m gonna have to work with what I’ve got in order to live my life.

But hey, at least I’ve got my friends to help me start anew.

My name is Neon, and this is my life as a bat pony.

A young thestral stallion, an older zebra mare, and a night of hedonistic enjoyment among the sleeping dead. But when one of those long departed proves to be very much awake, things get more exciting than either had expected.

Blue Skies is a weather factory operator with a deep love for painting. Sunup Howdy, on the other hoof, is a bat pony doctor that exclusively works nights at the Chestnut Falls General Hospital. While Blue might find the bat stallion annoying, he could put up with him as long as it meant getting to rent a cheap room… at least until his career as a painter had truly taken flight.

After a factory accident, however, Blue Skies finds himself grounded and distraught. And to make matters worse, Sunup has specifically requested to be the doctor assigned to watch over his recovery.

But the bat stallion may have bitten off more than he could chew, as what was supposed to just be a chance to bother his friend quickly turned into something… special.

Commissioned through Discord, it was a pleasure writing for you and I'm glad my work could meet your expectations.

This story is a sequel to Diplomacy by Other Means

Laminia and Pumpernickel are both quite happy with their jobs serving the Princess of the Night in their busy and occasionally dangerous jobs, until an opportunity to bring a new life into the world turns their lives upside-down. It is a long hard road from the Canterlot castle to the maternity room of the hospital, and there is always the fear of their road to parenthood winding up with nothing but an empty crib.

Dedicated to all parents out there who know the agony and tension of the long, slow road to childbirth.

Thank you to Talon and Thorn for assisting with the last minute editing.

"In the beginning, there was nothing but all encompassing darkness that claimed all of existence within the void.
Yet even in this darkness, there was light.
A single speck of light that defied the shadows and slowly grew to encompass the known universe, bringing light to a once dark and dreary realm.
The being had wrested control from the void, yet it was not content.
With its power, it created the stars and planets that dot the seemingly infinite expanse of the universe.
This, was how the universe had truly come to be."
Creation of the universe according to the Church of Primis
Long ago, before the times of the princess's, the world stood divided. The father of the universe saw the hatred between the races of the planet, and sought to rectify his mistake of abandoning his creation, choosing to live amongst them once more.
This is where our story begins.

Been featured like seven times now...wow, that's awesome, didn't think I'd even get it once.

Deep beneath the Lunar Castle are the Central Imperial Archives, a collection of documents unprecedented and unmatched in variety and breadth. These shelves hold the key to understanding the mystical world of the New Lunar Millennium where Nightmare Moon reigns supreme. Your guide through this labyrinth of knowledge is a pegasus dork who struggles to speak coherently around new people. Enjoy!

Takes place in my New Lunar Millennium alternate universe, obviously. No prior knowledge is required to read, especially as this is intended to be an introduction/explanation for the setting.

A lot of this is stuff I've already written to go alongside drawings and such, but the bulk of it (at time of publishing) is original material. Much of the history parts are available without commentary here.

Chapters are generally presented in chronological order, but certain events from different parts of the world occur simultaneously so some overlap and inconsistent chronology is to be expected. OC and artwork attributions included in author's notes where appropriate.

Sand mining is a vibrant industry in the United States. A fair share of states hold a stake in the name of sand, and while most rules of the dunes are followed, profits find a way in the margins of the law.

Nestled between the sister-cities of Conway and Myrtle Beach, a sand mine opens for its annual operation.

This story is a sequel to Meta Gamer in Equestria: Champion's Folly

For returning MGiE readers: This story is at the end of Moss's arcs. He's had his adventures. His magic has evolved and grown. The story will not be an exact spiritual successor to the others involving Moss. The story will go in a somewhat different direction and will likely have an effect similar to the Star Wars prequel trilogy had compared to the original. It was Star Wars, but "not the same" Star Wars.
For new readers: This is the 4th in a series that originally had 3 main installments planned with lots of details I won't be covering. It's a DnD 5e crossover with a four way multiclass and all the convoluted mechanics involved that can't be fully summarized to get you going. Read without reading the others if you want, but do so at your own risk.

He was forced into a war to protect Equestria and the world of Equis on the whole. The land was protected. Years went by. Promises were made, and promises were kept.
A spirit-turned-owl he first hated grew to be his best friend over the years as he spent his time stuck on Equis. The owl was always straightforward with him when he asked something. Only one minor item did the owl make a point to beg him not to force the owl to tell when it came up. It was not a big deal to him, as he understood it was for a promise to a lost love. Some secret the owl wished to take to his grave, he was certain. What he didn't expect was how much it would end up involving him and how much more it would end up explaining.

(As always, happy to send Hero Forge some foot traffic by showing how far their miniature customization has grown since I found them, linked in picture source)
