When the world tried to knock her down, Tempest Shadow just got back up and made herself stronger than ever before. Never again would she be left to the mercies of a cold and uncaring world. Her eyes had been opened to the truth of the world: that strength was all that mattered.

And then she met Twilight Sparkle...

It all started with a simple question: What if? What if Luna had ponies who noticed the beautiful nights she created. Would she have turned into Nightmare Moon? Would she and Celestia rule together for a thousand years? Would Twilight meet the rest of the bearers of the elements and become friends with them? Now, with the help of a new magic spell that she created, Twilight is going to find out!

Welcome to the Lunar Republic!

Now, the idea of seeing someone argue who was the "best Princess" in Equestria was hardly a new thing. In fact, such talks had appeared in articles across Equestria for some years now. And every Princess knew what it meant when another one turned up. They'd read it, they'd have a debate amongst themselves over what was said, they'd maybe argue, and then they'd laugh over it afterwards. But today, they come across one such article that causes no argument. In fact, it genuinely surprises them.

Ortus:
‘My coming would have saved you, set your people free in ways they cannot see. War would have tested them: broken the weak with its violence, yet allowing the strong to arise.’
-Legate Lanius, 2281

To live is to be a slave we only choose the nature of our bindings. In a meaningless world, corrupting and devoid of all hope, the choice is clear.

(Originally meant to be a one-off, this is kind of a very short origin story, but lays the ideology on quite thick. Warning: gore tag added as this contains some light goriness and alludes to willing self-mutilation.)

Vita:
‘Home isn’t where you’re born into this world.’
-Speculator Ulysses, 2281

The story of a couple held apart by the necessities of societal rank and social norms stealing a few precious moments to celebrate their one year anniversario.

Occasus:
‘I survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around me. I fell down into that dark chasm, but the flame burned on and on.’
-Legate Joshua Graham (disgraced), 2281

The inevitable conclusion for those who live by the sword and have given up all hope for their world’s redemption.

After finally reading Fallout Equestria by Kkat and loving it I gradually threw these together for no apparent reason (each one written randomly when majorly stressed out). In general these are ponified Caesar’s Legion in the Equestrian Wasteland, based around my main pro-Legion playthrough of Fallout New Vegas, discussions (arguments) with mates about this decision and a stupid picture I drew of a main OC and Legate Lanius as a ponified couple (above), one of the many weird results of these conversations (arguments). (Triptych story consists of Ortus, Vita and Occasus, meanwhile the Memoriam are more like individual scenes)

Massive thanks to Haphazard for pre-reading whatever this is meant to be and getting me over my aversion to crossovers.

Also thank you to anyone who reads my stuff.

Notes:
• Title: Conqueror of My Heart (Latin)
• I have not yet had the chance to check out stories in which others have already inserted the Legion into the Fallout Equestria universe. This is not meant as a serious attempt to insert the faction; rather this is a really basic ponification based on conversations.
• Sketch used as cover art used base by XxPartyingxX (http://xxpartyingxx.deviantart.com/)
• I’m marking this as complete for now, but may write more in the future depending on how I feel.
• I welcome any and all feedback.

IRS Scammers. We all hate them, and in Equestria, it's no different. Once technology advanced to the point of phones and computers, scamming came with it.

Unfortunately, not everypony is as gullible as some other nasty people would like.

Twilight and the other Element Bearers thought that Rainbow's ego was becoming a problem. So they invented a hero to teach Rainbow a lesson. Instead, they learn that the only thing worse than a wounded enemy is a comrade betrayed. Never betray the Element of loyalty.

Rainbow Dash is a headstrong, athletic pony who is utterly faithful to her friends and doesn't keep any secrets from them. Or so she pretends. Yet a surprise visit from Twilight Sparkle is about to blow the secret wide open, and the multi-hued pegasus will find out just how strong their friendship is.

Note: This story was written in the week following the airing of "May The Best Pet Win", and well before "Read It and Weep" was even known about. As such it haws since been overtaken by canon, but most folk tend to like it still so I will upload it here so I have a bit of a presence on FIMfiction beyond "lurker #347,921".

This story also includes "The Unrelated Epilogue" which is a mini-story based on a loose bit in the main one that I felt did not stand on its own, but that I wanted up nonetheless. It has Luna, but not RD or TS.
Cover image is a screencap from the show.

Twilight Sparkle's wildest dreams have just been met, and exceeded. Due to an unexpected magical outburst during her entrance exam to Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, the Solar Princess herself took an interest and took Twilight on as her personal student.

This was a pleasant shock for Twilight and her family. However, a few months later, a less pleasant shock would reach Twilight in the form of Celestia returning to Canterlot with a new daughter, a freshly adopted pegasus filly named Rainbow Dash. As the two get to know each other, Twilight can clearly see something eating at the self absorbed and competitive filly's mind.

To make matters even more confusing, Princess Celestia is now hiding something. Twilight dares not question it, but it is quite clear that Celestia isn't being wholly open with anypony about her decision to adopt some random orphan.

Could the answers have something to do with the cryptic dream Twilight had the night before she met Rainbow Dash?

**Apparently, this was featured on August 12th, but I slept through that brief window. All the same, I am flabbergasted and humbled!**

(Update: 11/5/2017 - Major shout-out to Rock-Mint-Swirl who was incredibly nice enough to do a fanart for this story, which you can see right here. It contains story spoilers so please read the fanfic first though.)

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have dealt with all kinds of ponies having trouble finding their true calling in life, but none can compare to the special request they receive from Princess Twilight Sparkle herself, or the shock they receive on discovering who it is: Fizzlepop Berrytwist, possibly the most hated and feared pony in generations. Can a pony who's spent most of her life rejecting her true calling possibly find it now? Can the Cutie Mark Crusaders help a pony who almost everypony else in Equestria has rejected?
