A damaged robot pony, unlike anything ever seen in pre-industrial Equestria, is found in the orchard. Before it collapses, it says only two words: "Twilight Sparkle..."

Twilight fixes the mechanical mare and gives her a new directive: "Make friends." Now a robot must learn what it takes to be a good friend and, while she's at it, what it means to live...

His name is Boltsinger. He always saw himself as a relatively normal pony. Save for one strange fact. Ever since he got his Cutie Mark, his wings have been taking him places without his say-so. Everywhere he goes, somepony needs his help, and he's just the stallion for the job. Something was off about his next destination though. Crashing into a wall at the castle in Canterlot apparently gets the attention of important ponies, and that leads to some... interesting questions.

This story is a sequel to One Bolt, Moving Forward

Boltsinger has settled into a nice little groove in life. Twilight's school is running excellently, and Nova is the best little colt a dad could ask for as long as he's kept happy. It's made him think back on what his life was like before this kind of happiness, but the vast majority of the things he's done, the ponies he's helped... it's a bit of a mess. He opts to expand his horizons whenever he can, in the hopes he can sort things out, but somepony else has taken initiative... Somepony important... Somepony no one ever saw coming!

(The image of Boltsinger in the cover art is a template trace done by me. I did not create the base. Those were found almost entirely on DeviantArt.)

This story is a sequel to One Bolt, Many Questions

Nopony expected him to be the one to marry a Princess. Least of all him. Boltsinger is moving forward with his life, and is finding things to be going at more of a rapid pace than he had expected! New friends, new dilemmas, new questions, and new answers! He and all of his friends are going to face the scariest thing in the world.
Change.

This story is a sequel to Stardust

Times are changing for Equestria as Twilight’s return brings with it news of people and cultures from beyond the peaceful world everypony knows. Aid and volunteers are freely offered to help the besieged humans of Earth because every Equestrian knows that’s what good friends do. Unfortunately, making friends can also have the unintended consequence of making enemies.

When the monsters besieging the humans strike at Equestria with a level of brutality not seen in over a thousand years, the cry for help is sent to all the kingdoms of the world. Honored allies step forth to fulfill ancient treaties and oaths. Enemies, old and new, bury their grievances. An alliance never before seen in Equestria will be created to combat the monsters from the void.

And because of these events, a grim but welcome sibling to the XCOM project is born.

(Coverart produced by the amazing Carnelian!)
