The sequel to Rise of the Dragonking of the "Prince of the Changelings" trilogy.

War has come. Silent Wing must gather those his father commanded him to bring halfway around the world where the scars of the past are forever written upon the very sands. As he, Luna, and members of the Mane Six travel in hopes of saving Twilight Sparkle, Star Journey and Atalanta, Celestia and Chrysalis are left to lead their small forces against an overwhelming foe.

Discord remains missing, his reasons for not showing for the past fifteen years a secret.

Flamespyre sets his eye upon Twilight Sparkle and Princess Luna for reasons that can only be for his own twisted pleasure. He begins to slowly reveal his plan for the world. His target is the very magic through all the land, air, and sea. If he can but wrest control of it for himself and deny it to others, then he would indeed be unstoppable. But how can he do this?

He has a name for it: Oblivion.

Another had the very name once, five thousand years ago. One thousand years ago, it stirred a certain Nightmare against her own sister.

The chaos of war shatters a thousand years of peace as the madness of a monster spreads his evil. No place is safe. Not even the mind of Princess Celestia. All hopes rest upon the small form of the adopted son of Queen Chrysalis, Silent Wing. It could very well destroy him.

This story is a sequel to Everfree

When the world finally seems to have fallen silent, the darkness shall always rise to swallow the light. Two agents of Canterlot's most secret organization have gone missing while on a critical assignment. Fearing for the safety of Equestria, Captain Fleethoof is drawn into an intense investigation surrounding weapons trafficking, violent crimes, a notorious family, and one very enigmatic special agent. Pulled into a web of betrayal, corruption, treason, and violence he never knew existed, Fleethoof begins to find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes—and what the return of an old foe means for the future of Equestria.

This story is a sequel to The Griffon War: A Soldier's Memoirs

Some time has passed since the Griffon War ended and the Equestrian Army returned home. Peace and harmony has returned to the land. But war changes everything—even when that is war itself. From the ashes of the old military traditions, Skyfall Team is born. Luna's experimental group seems promising: tactical, advanced, intelligent, and powerful—and about to be put to the test, when the Royal Family is threatened from their own home. With little information to go on and short of time, Skyfall Team's trial by fire may leave the Royal Family in terrible danger that could cost them their lives.

This story is a sequel to Skyfall: Treason

The Everfree Forest. The myths that surround that dreaded place are just that: myths. Tales of monsters, cursed creatures, and evil magic are just stories made to scare foals at night.

But every story comes from some truth, and some answers are better left in the dark.

Inspired by Story of the Blanks.

The full force of her holy wrath, dealt by her most Vicious Agent.

And I should know: I'm him.

This story is a sequel to Skyfall

From the author: Chapters with ♫ have music to accompany them. Check the Author's Notes at the bottom.

Following the events of Skyfall, Shining Armor has moved to reform the Royal Guard into the intimidating fighting force it was always meant to be. Skyfall Team is on hiatus, a long-earned respite. For the first time since the Griffon War, Equestria is recovering and growing substantially, no longer living in the shadow of danger.

But when an allied unit goes rogue and new threats loom from the shadows, Equestria's harmony is thrown into international turmoil that could bring about a world war between old enemies and allies. It is left to Skyfall Team to cover up the incident, and eliminate the defectors, before chaos can erupt into full scale conflict that could spell armageddon. Facing off against their comrades, Skyfall will learn that sometimes the toughest fights we face are against our own brothers.

All characters belong to their respective creators.

When a dark enemy begins hunting the young wizard Twilight Sparkle, the walls of the fortress library of Candlekeep cannot protect her. Not even her mentor, the archmage Star Swirl the Bearded, can keep her safe. With a price on her head and the shadow of death on her heels, her only hope for salvation is the Magic of Friendship. Perhaps, with powerful allies at her side, she can find answers and uncover the truth about her destiny.

(This story is inspired by the Baldur's Gate CRPG series by Bioware, but you do not have to be familiar with BG to understand its events)

Warning: Comments contain spoilers. Proceed at your own risk.

After the royal sisters' black hearted mother is inadvertantly awakened by a curious young knight in training, the world is changed for the worse. Celestia and Luna are banished to their respective celestial bodies, division has reformed between the three tribes stronger than ever and even the Elements of Harmony are seemingly lost.

Very few retained their memories of happier times. One of these few has been biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike and take back Equestria in the name of chaos! ...no? Not chaos? Fine I guess for Harmony. Party poopers.

Sequel to Settling In, not really required reading but the last chapter at least helps set the stage!

Equestria's origins are long forgotten, as well as its most powerful weapon, but when three stallions, unknown even to Princess Celestia appear in the middle of an elite forces camp questions are raised. One, the earth pony, appears to be silent, but his sheer size and strength speak for him enough, another, a unicorn, seems to be quite laid back and pretty self-centered, but he can hold his own with powerful magic that rivals and possibly surpasses the combat skill of Captain Shining Armor, finally the third, a pegasus, apperently the oldest and leader of the three remembers something about his past, more in particular, somepony. Follow the three on a journey that will tell them who they were, where they will be going and finally who they were really meant to be.
Starting with a prologue that goes over a lot of things and explains enough to you so you don't get lost in the actual story.
Alternate Universe tag because it follows the canon story line of events all the way until 'Magical Mystery Cure' No Twilicorn.
