Soarin, ex-Captain and now a regular member of the Wonderbolts, is having troubles finding a reason to care.

Maybe he'll find something to care about in the mysterious wrestler Golden Victory.

Yes, this is a gay romance.

This story is heavily inspired by VividSyntax's story Sensation (you should go read it. It's amazing)

This story takes place in the same universe as Side A - The Guard.

Teen for some heavier material, later on, profanity, and suggestive sexual content.

Profanity tag for mild swearing.

Sex tag for suggestive material and half of what comes out Soarin's mouth.

Art credit goes to me.

Soarin seems to be unable to find a marefriend. Hopefully Spitfire, his lifelong and closest friend, is here to help him. May he likes it or not.

Sombra, or whatever it is the Crystal Heart left behind, has ventured forth and conquered his new domain behind the till at a McTrotnald's joint in Manehattan. As he seeks to consolidate and expand his newfound kingdom he quickly finds a host of potential new subjects to subjugate befriend. If only they weren't mostly mafia, bat gangs, changeling yakuza and bicycle ponies complete wackos after his hot sexy plot power and might....

Coco Pommel, a decent definitely-not-thestral, lives a decent life, works a decent job, earns a decent living. She is certain the fashion house she works for, Mane Event, is going places, even if it's currently stuck on the second floor above a McTrotnald's joint. She is oblivious to the fact that she is the much-coveted object of adoration of many stallions. She is oblivious to many things. But she finds it hard to be oblivious to the ruckus that comes from that fast food restaurant downstairs, harder still to resist getting dragged in...

Neither expected to ever end up stuck together, at least not this way. But as they quickly learn, there's no living on expectations in the poor but lively Manehattan slums of the Four Hooves District. Together with the band of misfits and social outcasts that make up their lives they must go out and seize it - their Midnight Empire.

Contains the following strong themes underneath: struggling against oppression, discrimination and biggotry, poverty and desperation,. This is a story of unity in diversity, of love and friendship that transcends differences, and the pursuit of freedom.

Now exponentially more epic thanks to our favourite editor Dumbgamer99 who has kindly returned to do another of my works. Be sure to thank him by checking out his page!

Featured 4/7/14 - 6/7/14! Many thanks to everyone who made this possible!

Written to the tune of The Manehattan Smile by Matthew Mosier which I think nicely captures the feel of this story.

Cover Art: Oh hey, my ponies actually resemble ponies now. I mean, look, you don't have to turn the pic upside down, close your eyes and imagine the ponies anymore. Previous cover art here.

[Note: this story contains three drastically different parts/arcs.]

In an alternate, human Equestria, one's Clan determines everything. Until Princesses Celestia and Luna enact the Harmony Initiative, a law that establishes integration. The first experiment is Ponyville High School, where members of all Clans are selected to attend. But the Initiative is not exactly popular--for students, parents or the Clanleaders. As tensions rise, Ponyville's melting pot begins to boil over. Can a group of six high school students from radically different backgrounds keep civil war from breaking out?

There are some things that one cannot do to another without at least becoming friends with them, and that includes saving their lives. Back when Rainbow Dash did so for the Wonderbolts at the Best Young Flyers' Competition, even she had no idea that it would be the start of a beautiful relationship.

Four years on, and the Element of Loyalty herself is to be married. As she and her family prepare for the wedding, she recalls how it all began, and how much her relationship with Soarin has developed since that eventful Best Young Flyers' Competition.

Scootaloo and Spitfire have a little chat.

Flying my last flight in the MI-24 before I am transferred to a different machine out in Russia, I am ordered to look at a unidentified crashed object and investigate., last thing I ever expected was a human claiming to be a pony appear in my life. Just another day...I think.

Anyway my names Vladimir, and I am not a brony neither do I have any idea what "My little pony " is and why there is a naked girl that's going to turn my life upside down...I have no idea, don't ask.

As far back as Andrew could remember, he was always a normal guy. He never stood out but he never went undetected by his peers. At the age of 23 and on the last day of his tour in the Army, he's hoping that life will wind down like it was before his reserve was called to replace another company already in Afghanistan.
Spitfire lead an exciting life by not only being in the Wonderbolts, Equestria's most advanced air force out of any nation on Equius, but being the youngest captain in recent history at the young age of 24. Flying is her life whether it's practicing maneuvers with her squadron or performing for tens of thousands per show. However for her one fateful flight through the world's most infamous hot spot for odd activity takes a turn for the worse.
Fate, God, or another entity has tied these two together for better or for worse.

Rated teen for language, and the sex tag was added for implied scenes and innuendos.
Dark/gore warning for chapters 10 part 1 and 10 part 2
All characters are humanized, however the pegasi retain their wings and unicorns retain their magic.
Note: I know some things are unrealistic at times, but I'm trying to keep it as close as possible for some semblance of realism in the real world.

This is not a self-insert. Andrew may have some quirks that I personally have and may share some personal experiences that help advance the story.

Spitfire receives terrible news. An injury she sustained from their last show may have saved lives... but may not be treatable. They will have to amputate her wing. She must step down as Wonderbolt captain.

Written for Writeoff.me's 'End of an Era' competition.

He was expendable, they thought. There was no honor, no code of morals, no sense of team. Soarin wasn't going to stand around and be treated like this, he was going to stand up for himself the only way Spitfire would understand: Leaving the Wonderbolts behind.

Now teamless, Soarin decides to run home to the only pony in Equestria that would never leave him in the dust; His little sister, Nightshade, captain of the rival team, the Shadowbolts.

A co-written project by Uria the Sacred Beast and myself! An alternate take on the ending of "Rainbow Falls" in which Soarin decides that an "I'm sorry" from his neglectful captain and teammate just isn't enough.
