Fluttershy is your friend. She has been for awhile now. You hang out with her quite often, doing many activities together.

But lately, she's been having you meet her alone in a local park for picnics, and during these picnics, she's so... quiet. Perhaps there is something on her mind...?

Got the inspiration for this story by listening to "Quiet" by the band Lights

”We all must bear our burdens, but though we keep moving forward, we also must never forget what we left behind so that we may learn from it.” --- Princess Luna

For centuries, scholars have theorized that it was Luna’s jealousy over Celestia’s power that made the younger princess rebel. These same scholars then wrote the very history books that foals read to this day, a thousand years later. Few, however, knew the full truth.

Luna’s fall was not some nation-wide rebellion, nor was it some jealousy-fueled tantrum. The truth was far more shameful and cruel. It had indeed been Celestia’s fault, but not for the reasons that history said it was.

And so, on this cold and somber night, Celestia remembers the day of her greatest folly.

The Medallion of Light and the Medallion of Shadow are some of the most powerful yet obscure artifacts of antiquity. Created by a now-vanished cult of assassins, the two devices together give their bearer the incredible power to walk the worlds with but a single step.

Nefarious forces are closing in on both artifacts, and very little stands in their way. Heinrich Himmler's agents covet the medallions for the greater glory of the Third Reich. Ahuizotl's simply want their master to get what's coming to him: the world, and everything in it.

With the fate of all good people and ponies in doubt, one thing's for certain: saving two worlds would be one hell of an adventure. And if adventure has a name, it must be Daring Do… or is that Indiana Jones?

Will our heroes win the day? Find out in... Daring Do and the Medallion of Shadow! Or, Indiana Jones and the Medallion of Light!

NOTE: there will be some violence in this story, but nothing more than you would expect to see in an Indiana Jones movie-- so I didn't check the "gore" content box.

Special thanks to SapphireStarlightPony & Rated Ponystar for helping with the brainstorming on this one.

Thanks to this stupid thing I've had the Indiana Jones theme song stuck in my head for like the past four days and I am about to claw my eyes out AAAAAAAHHHHH @_@

The bustling metropolis of Manehattan has become the home of a most peculiar vigilante; an earth pony stallion of reportedly titanic strength, incredible speed, and uncanny senses. Drifting through the darkened streets of the city at night, stopping crimes and snatching ponies from the brink of disaster, this so-called "Supermane" has become something of an urban legend, an enigmatic, somewhat unsettling, but apparently well-meaning presence in the great city.

When Princess Twilight catches wind of this mysterious pony, she sends three of her most trusted friends to Manehattan to investigate the situation and answer the questions everyone's been asking; who is Supermane? What is he? And what does he really want? Allying themselves with reporters from the Daily Planet newspaper, and running afoul of the schemes of industrialist Tech "Lex" Lexicon and LexCorp Industries, the ponies are set for a high-flying adventure like they've never known before as they unravel the mystery of Supermane...who may have a few personal mysteries of his own that he's trying to solve.

Look up in the sky...

Superman adaptation. Takes place post-Season 9, set about six months or so after "The Ending of the End". Rated T to be on the safe side.

Featured on January 15th-17th, 2021 (the dates on the chapters are messed up for some reason). From the first day?! How?!

Featured again on March 9th. Chapter update notifications now restored! :D

In The Future This Story May Receive Light Again, But For Now It Will Sleep

As another year passes, a host of characters are pulled from the void. All of them see themselves as heroes in their own right, but soon they will realize that this may not be the case. In this hostile dimension, they will be forced into a tournament where twenty-four will enter, but only one will exit. The stage is set, the world is watching, and everypony is prepared to declare their newest victor. Will they have what it takes to survive in this cruel and twisted world? Is playing their game truly the only way to win, or is escape not as impossible as it seems?

This story is inspired by a Hunger Games OC concept made in 2019 but with some twists to set it apart. The idea was first proposed by a creator called EvyDusk, who's no longer active. The current main ideas in this story and drafts of it are created by me, and they are improved on massively by my co-writer named Emo Rainbow.

Like any other Hunger Games Story, there will be a lot of violence, deaths, and disappointing moments as OCs are cut down and their numbers dwindle, however, for the OCs who were submitted, we'll be trying to make their moments, and this story, as interesting as it could be. Most of the OCs you'll be seeing will be competitors, but there will be some who will be on the sidelines, with other roles surrounding the tournament.

Here are all the OCs by Author:
Blaze Firestarter by Indigo Lightning Strike
"Waxbeak" by SirReal
Silver Chance by foxmaster
Odium by Heroic412227
Kirouac by NicLove
Second Wind by Amereep
Fighter Swan by Emo Rainbow
Ozone Shift by Ekhidna
Firestorm by BradyBunch
Green Scale by red reaper
Jade Dawn by Jade Dawn
Luminous Skies by Luminous Skies
Tarantula "Inkwell" Brush by amf studios
Cobalt Dust by -Bluejay-
Silent Talon by Jman796
Jason Colby by AsuFlick
Golden Gild by Connect-the-Pie
Wet Nurse, Foal-Bearer, Beatrix by Dr Sharaz Jek

This list will be added on as potentially more OCs could join. The time to submit OCs for the competition is over, but you can still submit OCs as non-competitors, such as game masters, trainers, servants, and other roles that could be useful.

If you're going to submit OCs, want to know more about our project, and other questions, please contact either me or my co writer Emo Rainbow

It has been nearly a thousand years since Twilight Sparkle died. Celestia and Luna are gone. The Holy Equestrian Diarchy, ruled by a bigoted and brutal theocracy, has driven ponies apart and divided them along tribal lines. Unicorns are driven from society, feared and hated.

The lessons of friendship, painstakingly written down in the journal of friendship by Princess Twilight and her friends, have been warped and twisted to fit the Diarchy's hateful ideology. But to the average pony, this is the truth and reality of the world they live in, beset on all sides by enemies monstrous and magical.

Emberglow, a young pegasus mare, aspires to join the elite Knights, magically enhanced warriors dedicated to the holy Saints worshiped by the state religion. Can she uncover the lies and deceptions that have led the world to this bitter place?

Note on timing: I began writing this long before Season 9 aired, so none of those events happened as far as the narrative of this story is concerned.

Come join us on the Rekindled Embers Discord!

Edit: Featured 8/7/20! Yay and Thanks!

Somewhere in the multiverse is a special place. A pub in a seedy back alley in almost every city, yet it is all one pub. A pub with the image of a skull and crossbones, with two hands holding some ale.

A place where conquerors, dictators, murderers, and psychopaths can go and relax. Destress from a long day of laborious evil deeds, and even heal the wounds from encounters with heroes.

A place called the Villain Pub.

If you want a specific villain to appear, PM me the deets.

Not currently taking OC villains unless they're from a popular story on here.

FEATURED ON 03/06/2023?! TALK ABOUT AN EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT!

This story is a sequel to The Incredibly Stupidly Weird Story About 15 Random OCs

It's official. Twilight Sparkle is no longer the smartest.

With the power of not one, not two, not even three crackheads, but a full twenty (that's two tens worth!) of 'em put together, the all-encompassing, all-powerful and all-knowing behemoth known as *gasp* Google is born!

Except this ain't the Googlidoodledoo that y'all use in real life, no--this is Equestria's take on the thing. It runs on chaos magic.

The cherry on top? Discord isn't even in this story.

WARNING: The random tag was found brutally murdered in a blender and turned into a smoothie to write this story.

A huge thanks to my good friend Wisemon for proof-reading and editing this story. I cannot thank you enough!

Celestia preaches love and peace, forgiveness for all. Never to kill, only to imprison. However, some take up issue with this. A disillusioned squadron of Royal Guards dispensing their own brand of safety and security. Now, she finds her ways questioned and wondering... are they right? Is there no place for truth and justice anymore?

Maybe it is time for a change...
