Some might say that the truth needs no colors. Some might say lying is an unfortunate necessity.

How far would you go to protect the ones you care for, when it means hurting the ones you love?

Sketch, an odd artist with a blurred view of the world, struggles to bring that world into focus. All to help an even stranger creature, one that has no place in society, and no hope of anything more. Who said life was fair?

All the times Derpy slept in the TARDIS she never thought about where the Doctor slept. Until tonight.

Inspired (Quite obviously) by this song.

Question: Why is Fluff/Cute NOT a tag yet?

WARNING:
ALL TROLLS WILL BE LOVED AND TOLERATED.

Good morning, afternoon, night, or whenever you're reading this. My name is Edward, aka 'patient 42', and I am currently residing in an insane asylum.
Why?
I suppose it all started When the ruler of this place called Equestria tasked her personal student, Twilight Sparkle, to travel to Earth and study the human race.
Unfortunately for Twilight, when she teleported to our world she, well... she appeared in the middle of the road. Right in front of my car. Needless to say, this put a pretty big dent in her expedition. ...as well as my car's bumper.

Sounds crazy, right? But hey, maybe thats the reason why I'm in this cell.
Point is, The story I'm about to tell you is the tale of events sparked by that ill-fated night.

note: In this plane of existence, the franchise "My Little Pony" does not exist. In short; this is not, nor will it ever be, a 'brony meets pony' story.
Also, on a more recent note, I had this idea and began writing way back in S2, so this is in no way inspired by EqG. (also, its non-alicorn twilight)

Equestrian Military Unit File
TOP SECRET

Unit: 1st Special Operations Group
Sub-units: 1st Tactical Fighter Squadron 'Starbirds'
1st Armoured Company 'Steel Strikers'
1st Special Operations Platoon 'Ghosts'

Unit overview: The 1st SOG is a elite special forces unit that uses extremely advanced weaponry and tactics to accomplish operations that regular units would find nearly impossible. It is split into four sub-units that often operate independently from each other, though often lending support to the others. An interesting fact worth mention is that the unit's equipment, as well as half the personnel, are of alien origins. They call themselves 'humans', and all became ponies upon arrival in Equestria, which they claim is a complete accident. After arrival, they eventually became part of the Equestrian military, and have trained ponies to use their surplus equipment becoming the 1st SOG. Since their inception, they have distinguished themselves, successfully eliminating two rampaging dragons and three hydras.

Sorry about the huge description, couldn't resist!

Takes place after first four episodes of season one.
Cover is by Buckweiser on DeviantArt, I don't know him personally but go check his stuff out. It's pretty sweet…How? Mouse over the pic genius!

So...I am currently in the process of writing a different version of this story. Its gonna be a fair while before I post it, but it has the similar but heavily revamped plot written in a completely different style. So keep an eye out for that.

American tank commander, Alexander, along with his crew members and his M1 Abrams tank are transported to Equestria in an accidental magic teleportation spell, but the spell also transports Russian tank commander, Vladimir, his crew members and his T-90. One commander deems the Equestrians a major threat and proceeds on a rampage. The other pledges their help to the ponies...

This story is being put back up for archiving purposes. It was once featured, thrice rewritten, and abandoned. I don't even remember what was original draft and what was rewrite. I just think it'd be a shame to leave it.

I've also added some of the "in progress" rewrites that were planned but never published/completed.

Maybe one day I'll complete this.

Train wrecks and stereotypes. The city of Manehattan remains divided, even after the Elements of Harmony brought the world back together. Ponies of all sorts squander the resources and scraps left to them, trapped far from the beautiful light above; unwanted and sickeningly poor. Streets are cramped and flooded whilst chemical mists linger throughout. This city wasn't designed for them, it is merely the knife-edge of a crumbling empire. Caught in a train hijacking gone wrong, and on the wrong side of the law, Awry finds himself in a delicate balance of power.

The question is simple. All in... or fold?

There's a special clinic for unwed mares who want to have a foal. Everypony knows it exists, even if nopony really wants to talk about it--or to be seen visiting it.

It's called the Family Planning Center, and today, Twilight Sparkle is going there for the very first time.

Update, 23 October 2013:
The "Planningverse" is now officially open, and as such, this story has been retagged "Incomplete", as myself and others will be expanding upon the basic concept here within the core story.

(Rated Teen + Sex for obvious reasons, but this story is not technically clop.)

Just another night of Skittle Twist, the pony who wanders all alone at night. No pony seems to realize she's out here, and that's fine with her. But...why exactly is she out in the middle of the night? It's not the first time she's done this.....

A zebra named Zecora is having a troublesome day. Within this story, she abandons her old way. She has decided to stop speaking strictly in rhymes, but the narration will atone for this plenty of times. Nevertheless, let's progress; Zecora has an issue to address. What is it, can you guess?

It's her stress. Now, hover your mouse over to chapter one, and press.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
