The greatest Gears of war and MLP crossover ever made: · 9:03pm Jul 20th, 2012
Marcus Fenix has known almost nothing but war his entire life. It has consumed every aspect of his existence, and it has torn his world apart. After years of fighting and sacrifice, the tides have finally started to turn in favor of humanity. But after their most recent mission goes horribly wrong, Marcus and Delta squad find themselves in a bright world so very unlike their own. Surrounded by a myriad of talking ponies, can the hardened soldiers come to grips with the innocent nature of the realm they now find themselves in? And what will they do when they discover that all is not well in this naive new world?
(A/N: This story takes place before the events of Gear of War 3, but after Season 2 of Friendship is Magic. I've never read most of the supplemental material for Gears, so forgive me if I get some of the background stuff wrong. I'll do my best to research it/correct myself.)
And while I'm at it here are a few more under-looked and under-appreciated stories that you should absolutely read.
She did not know how, she did not know why, but before her banishment on her moon, Nightmare Moon experienced every kind of pain. Pains of the mind, body, and spirit. But they healed in time, forgotten to memory.
But the greatest of pains was yet to come.

^ This one was epic, incredibly sad and emotional and certainty better then anything I could ever write. Yet it only got 27 likes and one dislike. That's kind of unfair in my opinion, anyway read for yourself if you haven't already.
A snapshot of the millennial lives of a young Celestia and Luna, as they prepare to do battle with Discord and fight to keep the Harmony they have only so recently mastered, and learn lessons they will struggle with all their days. In a journey that has no end, what matters most is who walks beside you.
^ Again this one was amazing and ridiculously under-appreciated with only 16 likes, It easily deserves over 300 because it's on par with eternal in terms of quality and story-telling (if not quantity). I can honestly call this a beautiful story.
I read this back when it was being updated on eqd. That was around half a year ago. I think its dead
Although it is odd to see it hear all of a sudden. Maybe it will be updated again?

The gears of war fic? I thought that was being written just now?
Thank you for the recommendation! I'll have to check out those other stories as well.
240810 ...I definitely just started writing MOW a few weeks ago...unless you're talking about one of the other fics he listed?
240839 Anyways, thanks for the endorsement, it's really a cool feeling to see that people enjoy my story so much.

. The other one is named COLTS of war not mares of war. Now that I look at the description you provided, it is completely different. Well now I feel like an idiot. I think I shall give yours a shot considering the high praise. Pardon the brain fart.
Hmm I guess so. That makes much more sense considering the other one wasnt all that great. Oh here's the problem
Now I kinda know how derpy feels...
