**SPOILERS FOR SEASON 9**

**MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS IS SEASON 9**

(Sequel to "The Price of Freedom Mk. 2")

Based on The Legend of Spyro Trilogy, and The Lord of The Rings (somewhat)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Equestria has now reached its longest period of Harmony in over a thousand years. All thanks to Prince Dusk Shine and his friends, who have proven time and again that together, they are true guardians of their world. However, a shift in the Balance has been sensed, and a time of testing is upon Equestria. Great change is on the horizon, and thus the Sisters of the Sun and Moon have sensed their time has reached its end.

The time has come for a new ruler to lay claim to the throne of Equestria, and none could be considered more fitting than Dusk Shine himself.

All save for the Alicorn prince, who has been having recent doubts on his ability to truly lead. Twice he has allowed himself to be used by nefarious forces, and twice have others needed to save their world in his place. Could this be a sign of the changes to come? That not only are the Princesses passing on their mantle to a new generation.....but the alicorn prince, and his friends are set to be succeeded by a new generation of heroes to wield the Elements of Harmony? Noone knows for certain. But the wheels of fate are turning, and none can escape it.

Especially not now, when evil has begun to stir in the hidden corners of the world. A fallen emperor from ages past who ruled the ancient world through fear, and anarchy has gathered the Dark Forces of Equestria to unite under one banner, and annihilate their shared enemies. But for many, such a thing is not so simple when this conglomerate of villainy consists of tyrants, conquerors, megalomaniacs, and servants of Darkness. Even so, one among their number has grander plans of his own.

And it is how Lord Tirek knows this "Grogar" is not who he seems.

So it is that the dark centaur makes preparations of his own. To set into motion a plan centuries in the making by a force of greater evil, festering in the heart of Equestria. A dark being who existence may spell doom for all of Equus' children. Under the nose of the deceitful ram, and with his powers of Darkness growing, Tirek will set forth to gather all evil to him. And in time, he will summon an army of darkness great enough to overthrow the tyranny of light. And this being who claims to be Grogar will prove to be instrumental in seeing the dark designs of Lord Tirek until the time comes to remove him from the board entirely.

A great Legion of Doom will rise.

War will cover the lands in fear, and terror.

And unlikely allies will emerge to aid Prince Dusk Shine, and his friends as they face the greatest challenge of their life.

In the rising tide of evil, the time has come to prove, once and for all, that Friendship is Magic.

And nothing will ever be the same again.

The Twin Monarchies of Equestria is flourishing, growing strong economically and ideologically. They have allies and puppet states strung all about the world, and their enemies lay defeated or dead.

But a new opponent, crossing dimensional borders, shall arise. The Prussians, having conquered almost their entire planet, grow hungry for more rivals. Through the sacrifice of many howitzers, a portal opened in the North Sea, permitting the travel of ships to a strange new world…

I got the idea for this following a campaign of Empire Total War, playing as Prussia and abusing Howitzers to take almost everywhere by 1787.

Prince Blueblood is many things.

He's a Unicorn, He's royalty, He's a stallion, He's entitled, He's high-class, And most importantly he's not here right now.

If Blueblood isn't here right now, then who's that?

Well, That's Blueblood, the new Blueblood that is, a human in the body of Blueblood.

What will follow the actions of the new prince can be nothing short of disastrous.

Warning, this story contains Jokes, Magical Politics, a human-turned pony who doesn't know about MLP, Prince Blueblood doing Blueblood things, "Wine-Moms", and a very large sum of money.
You have been warned.

This story is a sequel to A Confederacy Of Dunce Caps

He's her daddy. Hers alone, and... they've been alone for a long time. Father and daughter, with each as the only pony whom the other has in the world. As far as Diamond's concerned, that's natural. It's the way things have just about always been. (She was too young to remember anything else.) And therefore, that's how their lives should always be.

Except that now her father is talking about dating. He has his eyes on a mare, and that pegasus can barely keep one eye on anything. Diamond's had all of her father's love for just about the whole of her life, and if somepony else comes in, then... there's going to be less for her. That's just basic business sense. Limited supply, increased demand.

Her father wants to be with somepony again.

There has to be a way for Diamond to save him. Before it all goes wrong.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

This story takes place after the events of Anchor Foal and DELWMG, but no knowledge of either story is required.

A Notice of Hiatus

Jackson Brunner was walking home from work when he slipped and fell. He then awoke in a palace made of crystal that seemed to be long abandoned. Exploring these halls, Jack feels a strange sense of foreboding. Almost as if something horrible had happened here.

And that's not even the strangest thing about this situation.

No, things will only get stranger from here once the new owners of the palace show up.

Twilight thought she was coming into her own as Princess of Equestria.

With each passing day, she grew more confident in herself, her choices, and her ability to rule. She even began holding her own court these days, and enjoyed hearing out problems and working on solutions for her subjects.

Yes, she really felt like she was getting a handle on it all, and could deal with just about anything her subjects and the position of princess could throw at her.

Then a little green filly waltzed in and threw her one heck of a curve ball.

"I believe Cozy Glow should be freed."

Excuse me, what?

Twilight had no idea what she was in for, and all the aspirin in Equestria wouldn't be enough to sooth the headaches to come.

Was there something in the Equestrian water supply that was turning cute fillies into devious little monsters, or is she just that unlucky? Well, at least this one didn't seem bent on world domination. At least, Twilight hopes she isn't. This green nightmare might be even harder to stop than Cozy Glow if she ever put her mind to it.

This is not a "Cozy did nothing wrong and the main cast is evil," fic. Just a little filly who may or may not be more than they seem offering a different perspective on the whole situation involving an evil little villainess and what is the best thing to do with her.

October 26th, 2023 update: This story's going back in the oven. There's some changes I want to make. Details here.

Sunset Shimmer lived a perfect life: an aspiring career as Princess Celestia’s star pupil, a budding romance, and the perfect best friend to discover the wonders of the world that made life worth living.  But under the guise of a new friend Sunset met in her dreams, Nightmare Moon sought to upend everything in the name of vengeance, and the powers that be demanded their pound of flesh.

Years later, long after the dust had settled, Sunset found her home beyond the portal. Life was good, if a little strange.  But when Princess Luna comes seeking to quell the nightmares of a past that still haunt her, those nightmares rapidly spiral out of control, and Sunset is faced with the impossible decision of allying herself with the very individual who had destroyed her life.

With little choice, they strike a tentative partnership, and as past and present converge to threaten all that Sunset holds dear, she is left standing at the precarious ledge of a question that may very well have no answer:

Is there a limit to forgiveness?

Today just seemed like any other day on Sweet Apple Acre for Applejack. She tilled the fields, fed the farm animals, fixed broken pieces of the barn but then, she saw something she'll never forget.

Just on the edge of the Everfree Forest, there was a bloodied and bruised filly on the verge of death. Applejack's world would soon be changed forever after she decided to foster this young and very unique foal, who's current condition suggest a terrible background. A background that is catching up to them.

Now, this filly will have to learn to move on from her old life, make new friends and find her special talent. A difficult task made even harder by the monsters of her past, lingering in her mind like ghosts. They'll come back for her, and they'll burn everything down to achieve...

Anarchy.

Also, the cover art was revamped. I felt like the old one had too much dead space, so I figured something out! Let's see if you can guess who's on the cover art now!
