WARNING: THIS BLOG CONTAINS THE ENDINGS FOR MULTIPLE STORIES WRITTEN BY FOXI HOOVES. IF YOU WISH TO LEAVE THE ENDINGS UP TO YOUR OWN IMAGINATION TO HELP FUEL YOUR CREATIVE ENGINE, THEN DO NOT READ AHEAD!
If there is a story you would like more information on, whether listed or not (only published stories are listed), do not hesitate to ask about the story!
Since I'm pretty much done on Fimfiction due to extensive and frustrating writers block, among other things, I've been convinced to reveal the simplified endings to a number of stories under my care in order to give them closure.
The Origins of the Everfree Forest: One of my first stories, I knew right off the bat that the Everfree Forest's ecosystem closely matched a somewhat skewed version of our own jungles. I placed Equestria in another dimension from our own, in which humanity expanded their reach to a large portion of the Milky Way to such a point where their civilization was undergoing a resource war for the remaining fuels in the galaxy. As such, one of the powers sped up funding and research on a doorway between dimensions and ended up in Equestria, where they would attempt to start a colony on the fertile ground with what little seeds and wildlife they had managed to save from years of war and extinction. However, the sudden addition of a forest isn't something that goes unnoticed, and blah blah blah alien encounters, war, and it ends with the humans retreating back into their own dimension.
This idea wasn't thoroughly fleshed out when I began writing it.
Dawn of a New Era: This story was fun to work on, even though I got a lot of flak for it. It was similar to Starfall (an unfinished and unpublished story in which aliens ((not humans)) crash landed in Equestria, turning out to be game hunters like the Predators from the movie series of the same name)), but had a semi-lighter tone to it.
It featured approximately five (I can't quite remember, and can not be bothered to go back to reread everything I wrote) crew members from the Human Colonization Effort, who all had prior military experience. Humanity, in this story, is sort of going through something like the trifle between the Insurrectionists and the United Earth Government in Halo, and/or the Alliance and Outer Planets in Firefly. Our protagonists are from the latter, and all spent time serving in the military on either side, until they deserted or transferred.
By reading what I have, already, one can gather the purpose and promise of this mission, but what few people may realize is that I planned on slowly killing off the crew. The engineer would have been killed in an undetected meteor shower, rendering the ground crew stranded, and the biologist would have accidentally received a dose of poison joke, which would be fatal to humans. Eventually (I hadn't planned all the deaths out by the time I stopped writing), it would have just been the Captain, left, with Celestia comforting him as he died of something else. The Equestrians in this story would have been curious, albeit frightened, but there was never planned to be any major confrontation between the two groups.
Illa Novo Incipit: (illa novo incipit; Latin for "She begins anew", according to Google Translate) Since Cortana's death was a shock for me, despite how apparent it was, at the end of Halo 4, and the ending sequence lit my creative engine ablaze, I ran with the idea that Cortana didn't die, but was saved by the Librarian (who, as some Halo fans speculate, is still very much alive). Canonically, the Forerunners attributed their highest success to being able to alter the genetic sequence in nearly any, if not all, creatures. This is how they punished humanity after the Human-Forerunner War, for instance.
However, I took it a step farther and attributed their greatest success as the ability to create a new species from scratch: the Alicorns. During the height of their war against the humans, the Didact ordered the protection of their creation in a Dysonsphere. Later, this would protect them as the Flood began to claim Forerunner worlds and installations across the galaxy.
Most people know that data travels incredibly fast and, since Cortana is data, and was trapped in the Composer at the end of Halo 4 (a weapon of mass destruction the converted a beings biological mater into datastreams), I had the Librarian beam Cortana through space to whatever installation number or whatever anyone wants to attribute to Equus.
There, she meets Pinkie Pie, whose actions were perfect to make her the secret Monitor.
Eventually, although there was a big chunk in the middle I hadn't thought through, yet, I wanted to have the Flood crack open the Dysonsphere and threaten the inhabitants of the planet; the last pure denizens in the known universe.
The Darklands: The Darklands was a story I toyed around with long since before I joined the fandom. Originally, it was called The Land of Broken Tears, and centered around a boy who attempted to commit suicide by jumping off of a pier, only to be pulled out of the water into the other world; a world where the full moon always shined, and everything had a dark tone to it.
I started this story off as a way for Nightmare Moon to claim revenge on Twilight Sparkle, but that idea eventually evolved into The Darklands being Nightmare Moon's realm of existence (this is explained within what little of the story there is). Somewhere along the line, my brain decided that Trixie and Twilight make a cute couple, so I had to put a stop to the story before it turned into something that was so far from what I wanted it to be.
The heart of the story is there, but I don't think I explained the ending very well through my hints in the story. Before I learned of the whole Lunarverse thing, I called Celestia's evil version Burning Star. Instead of wanting to bring her blinding star up for all to see, she wanted to destroy everything Nightmare Moon had created in eternal flame. Obviously, this could not happen, so Twilight was called in to pass judgement on the land as to whether it deserved to survive, or not. I never really addressed why there wasn't an opposite version of Twilight in the Darklands, but I planned to, once I had worked it out in my head.
The Trotting Dead: This story was kind of fun to write, despite how shitty what I got out was. Inspired by The Walking Dead, I eventually wanted Twilight to arrive at Canterlot to find it mostly destroyed, but under control of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The big plot twist here would be that Princess Celestia explaining to Twilight that this was the Twilight's idea to an overpopulation crisis gone horribly wrong. Celestia would be made to look like the bad guy, in this story, with Twilight having no memories of such a conversation. That's about as far as I got before I realized what I wrote was crap.
My Little Technology: Friendship is 404: If I ever come back to Fimfiction, this is the story that I'm going to finish. This story was a lot of fun, but the work for it was just so long an arduous. I rewatched a single episode at least fifteen times to go over each scene and find a way to work it into the story while giving it that technological twist, as well as working in a Mentally-Advanced-esque Twilight Sparkle.
I always hated seeing technology in MLP, but probably only because it's used seemingly at random. So, although my headcanon states that the real Equestria doesn't have the advanced technology it displays in the show, I pushed that away for a moment to write a story where the opposite is true. There was no real ending to this story, and it was mostly just a dun exercise, but it was an exercise I still love thinking about.
S.C.P. Conatinment Breach - Operation: Equestrian Containment: Ever thought that S.C.P. would make an interesting T.V. series? Kind of like The X-Files? I did, and after seeing the cover image, I snatched up the idea and went to town on it; trying to create plots centered around certain S.C.P.s. It would have eventually gotten to the point where the main character (the man in the cover image) had to take on a Safe-level S.C.P. to help him.
Really, the only reason this story is on fimfiction and not stuck in my notebooks is because of that one key S.C.P. I was intrigued with it opening any door to a forest, which I automatically dubbed the Everfree Forest, and it went from there to the main character deciding that he, and he alone, could protect the terrified denizens of Equestria from the horrifying S.C.P.s that had escaped containment.
Story of the Blanks: The Tale of Sunnytown: Honestly, I have no excuse for this story. And, frankly, little explanation. I had no overall plot thought out when I started this; only a love for origin stories. Basically, I took that and hopped on the Story of the Blanks bandwagon.
K.I.A.: K.I.A. was probably my most successful and most controversial story here. It was interesting to write, especially since I love the Halo universe, but I feel as though I flopped through most of it like a fish crossing a dune to get to the next puddle.
The ending chapter would have mostly been a fight scene between Nightmare Moon and Six, where Nightmare Moon keeps forcing Six to relive her past and hallucenations, from the glassing of Jericho, to the slaughter of U.N.S.C. soldiers, etc. I feel guilty because I don't think I really understand how P.T.S.D. affects the affected, and therefore didn't portray it as accurate as I intended. Eventually, Six would have gained the upper hand over Nightmare Moon and be poised to kill, only to be halted by Princess Celestia's cries for her sister's mercy.
After much internal conflict, Six would drop the defeated, but spared, Nightmare Moon, and the story would end with Six having learned mercy, forgiveness (for herself and others), and would be able to start moving on from her troubled past.
An epilogue would follow, where it would be explained that Noble Six lived the rest of her long days as a stranger in an alien world, until she passed, and she was buried within Canterlot Mountain, until all who could remember history had passed, as well. Eventually, it would be just Celestia, Luna, and Chrysalis (although Chrysalis didn't know much, and wouldn't make an appearance) who remember what had happened, as Noble Six's legend of her lessons learned faded into stories. The epilogue would end with Nightmare Moon's return; not as Nightmare Moon, but as Luna, to show that she had also learned something during her second banishment.
Also, if it wasn't obvious to some, Shining Armor's behavior in the story was a result of his personal feelings and fears being amplified by Nightmare Moon's mind control.
