The Test that the Tree gave to the Young Six may have been unorthodox, to say the least, but it seemingly had desirable results for their friendship.

But what if things had happened differently? What if, instead of Smoulder finding Ocellus, Sandbar completed his test first? Find out inside!

Written for The Discovery - A Young Six Writing Contest, and also to help break a nasty case of writer's block.

From Scattered Pages, the book sold exclusively at Ponyvile Ciderfest 2023, comes the 86th story written by Janicethelight.

Flurry Heart has to find a way to save the Crystal Heart with the help of- *checks notes* Cozy Glow?!

Will these two fillies be able to find a way to stop the Crystal Empire from being engulfed in snow? Why IS Cozy helping Flurry in the first place? And how did all of this happen?!

You'll just have to read to find out!

King Sombra isn't totally destroyed by the Mane Six's blast in Canterlot, but he's banished back to the Frozen North and is severely weakened. Determined to take revenge, he's eventually imprisoned by Princess Celestia and has a choice to make: reform himself to use his magic for good, or be turned to stone.

Takes place during Season 9, just after Sombra's defeat. Also assumes you've seen Season 9 so beware of spoilers!

2/18/2023 - This made it to the featured box on the day it was posted I'm SHAKING??? I'm so grateful aaaaa

3/6/2023 - Featured again!!!

A little celebration never hurt anyone, did it?

This is, I think, the first EaW fic to have Posada as a main character; it is also, I think, the first fic to have two characters from Tobuck (Wallnut Drive and Rose Rain) featured in it. Huzzah.

Written in an evening because I was bored.

Important: this takes place in the Equestria At War universe. Equestria At War is a mod for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, be sure to check out their Discord and Reddit if you're not familiar with it. They also have a group on this site: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/212917/equestria-at-war

Cover art made by putting the in-game portraits of Wallnut Drive, Rose Rain, Posada and Skystar next to each other.

Thirteen years is a long time, yet old wounds have a habit of coming back to haunt those who bear them.

The Princesses of Equestria decided to spare the holdout villains, offering them counseling. Humbled from prison and asylum, shown kindness and acceptance where there should have been punishment and hatred, the last barriers of the unredeemed disintegrated like sand before a wave. Their rehabilitation fell under the auspices of the Princesses themselves, as well as Starlight Glimmer - the preeminent redeemed villain. The tensions of the past saw the Royal Family of the Crystal Empire sundered, but it also saw new families created in shocking arrangements.

A teenage Flurry Heart struggles to make friends at the School of Friendship, confused and angry at the divorce of her parents and their remarriage to the Crystal Empire's greatest enemies. An adult Cozy Glow struggles to forge a path of her own in a world that refuses to forgive actions she made as a filly. Chrysalis and Sombra struggle to adjust to life as domestic spouses, and loving step-parents to the youngest alicorn. Tirek struggles not to give into his hunger for magic. Everyone else struggles to accept this new paradigm, to forgive the final holdouts.

And, unseen by all, a final darkness stirs, enticing a filly with promises of power.

Alright, this was a project I was working on for... well, a few months at least. 10 chapters complete, I figured I'd upload what I have. It started as a simple fic about a what-if situation where Flurry Heart tries to adjust to her parents being divorced and remarried to the greatest archenemies of her foalhood, but evolved into a story about all the unredeemed villains.

Unusual for me, I've kept shipping to a minimum. I tried to keep the pairings as "canon" as possible, according to the hints at the end of Season 9 (AppleDash, FlutterCord, CheesePie, StarBurst, etc.) but I also threw in ShiningChrysalis and SomDance, which are pretty central to the plot.

This story is a sequel to Equestria At War: The Death of Harmony

Rose Thorn and Ember Flash have been sent to the front lines of the war between the Socialist Republic of New Mareland and the Kingdom of Wingbardy. Live in waterlogged dugouts, count themselves to sleep by the rhythm of shellfire, hope everypony will be alive at roll call the next morning. Or if not, that they'll be the lucky ones. That's their life now, at least until they become too deaf to stay at the front.

A spinoff fic of Equestria At War: The Death of Harmony showing a trenchpony's-eye-view of one of the secondary conflicts in that story. As with The Death of Harmony, takes place in the Equestria At War alternate universe.

Will the cold dead heart of the King of Shadows corrupt the Princess of Peace?

Or will a miracle come to pass on this most blessed of holidays?

Twilight has a talk with a few of her alternate-universe selves. It turns out that she's the only one in the known multiverse to have a marefriend, and she does what anypony else would do.

A young princess in search of a kingdom, who lost her heart to an old foe.

A would-be empress who found a higher purpose in the mare that stole her heart.

Flurry Heart and Cozy Glow know that the world is theirs for the taking, and that one day they shall take it for themselves. But for now, they have found peace in one another, atop a hill in the outskirts of the Crystal Empire.

A series of vignettes about the power of love, and the love of power.
