Stainless Steel Fox


A writer of various scribbles, I've recently become enamoured of Ponydom, and have done my limited best to write a few stories. I hope people enjoy them.

E

Set soon after the season 8 premiere. Even Chancellor Neighsay of the Equestria Education Association has to respond to a summons from Princess Celestia. His attempt to shut down Princess Twilight's School of Friendship has had repercussions, and she intends to discuss them with him... the poor sap.

The My Little Pony Movie was amazing, with wonderful world building and well plotted out adventure and feels. But it ignored a lot of canon. Twilight has check lists for checking her check lists! Do you really think she wouldn't have a plan for an invasion, especially after what happened at Cadence's wedding? Also, Equestria already has friends and allies they could call on. So, here's my version of events.

Edit: Some of the early comments have given me cause to think about revising the second chapter, so I'm pulling it until I have a chance to do so. I may remove it altogether and let the first chapter stand on it's own, as I originally intended. The idea, after all, was to show that Equestria already had allies they could have called on, not to mock the actual film, which I enjoyed thoroughly.

This story is a sequel to Consequences – A Bad Apple Comedy of Justice


Theorising that a reformed spirit of chaos might travel back in time and mess with stuff, Discord has gotten Celestia's approval to go back and tweak some events so that while the overall result was the same, the individual ponies involved were better off. His test case is one Barbara Seed Cortland, and her visit to her cousins in Ponyville. The limitations are that he can only visit her dreams, and she will only have a vague memory of events when she wakes up. Can he do it? What will Princess Luna say? What is the statute of limitations on illegal time travel? Does anyone have some fourth wall repair plaster? All these questions and less may be answered if you read on.

There are many stories where Twilight tells off her friends after the Wedding. But that's not really Twilight's bag, she gets worried she's failed, or depressed, not angry. So here is a different bridal path, one where Twilight acts decisively to try and redeem herself in the eyes of her friends and sovereign, and ends up travelling to places she never imagined, facing dangers and foes she never dreamed of and making even stranger friends. Of course, there is still a 'reason you suck' speech delivered, but delivered by the last person anyone would expect...

In a distant time and far away place, the planet of New Texas floats deep in space. World of three suns, land of precious ore, the Kerium rush brought outlaws, by the score...

The 80's cartoon Bravestarr is my favourite space western. However I always felt sorry that Thirty Thirty, Bravestarr's 'big pard' seemed to be the last of his kind. Maybe if he met the right filly...

My attempt at a more serious 'Luna meets Neil Armstrong' storyline. What would really happen, both on the moon and on Earth? Inspired by 'The Eagle has Landed' by CyanBlackStone.

Princess Luna has found herself on a very different moon after some strange force interfered with her banishment. She doesn't know what the metal objects that keep orbiting and sometimes landing there are, but she wants to find out. Meanwhile, Neil Armstrong believes that being the first man on the moon will be the crowning achievement of his life. Hoo boy, is he ever in for a surprise.

For those who are interested, the most excellent Zanec has provided this link to an interactive Apollo 11 site.

Based on a comment on Youtube about a clip showing Blueblood spitting out Applejack's fritter. What if Blueblood has an excellent reason for acting like a complete prat that night? What if there's more to this stuck-up idiot than meets the eye?

Posted in part because it feeds into the Cutie Mark Adventurers continuity, but set sometime between the 'The Best Night Ever' and 'Sweet and Elite'.

What would you do, and where would you go to find your Cutie Mark? An ancient book and a botched ritual takes three fillies further than they ever imagined... and into a land where adventure rules. But this isn't Humans and Horses, there's no rerolls allowed.

Now they must undertake their greatest ever crusade, to find someone who can send them back home. But as with every truly important quest, it's the journey as much as the goal that matters.

A one shot AU fic for 'One Bad Apple'. Babs Seed did far worse things to the CMC than Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon ever did. However, she gets away pretty much scot free. But what if some-pony had seen what was happening and decided to take matters into her own hooves? (Uncredited image, if yours let me know.)

In which the mane six end up at the battle of Pelenor fields, and we see how even the littlest pony can change the course of destiny. (Art by Koboldasylum on Deviantart)
