Friends will always come to a crossroads. Well, it is no different for our heroes on this day, left with the decision to explore their own path in a dark and misty cavern.

The lives they've lived will dictate what awaits them at the end of the tunnel.

Inspired by the "Cutie Mark Caverns" art by Vest: here. First attempt at a no-dialogue story.

What happens when Applejack suggests they play Appeloosan Hold'Em for their monthly game night?

Prosecco based lies, awful bluffs, and hilarity ensues.

This story is a sequel to Duelists of the Autumn Crown

It's been three months since Sunset Shimmer lost the Autumn Crown Tournament to Twilight Sparkle and found her ambitions of invading Equestria thwarted. She's since begun to reform as the school turns itself around from the bitterness of the tournaments, and with a new deck in hand she's even made friends.

However, a rival school is soon to arrive for their annual cross-school tournament, and among the ranks of their elite duelists is a familiar face who's been investigating Sunset's mysterious deck. Sunset isn't the only duelist out there with knowledge of magic, and she'll soon find herself facing a dark duelist who seeks to use her cards and powers for their own purposes.

Together with her friends, Sunset is going to have to put the duelists of Crystal Prep in their place and stop the plans of her new enemy. It's time to duel!

Congratulations, Equestria Legends Online is now side-story compatible: These other authors would love your support in their own adventures in this virtual world. You can find them in The Equestria Legends Online Fan Group, located here.

It's the year 2020, and millions of people are raving about the new game console known as Nervegear, which will literally take a player's mind into the game. But thousands of bronies are raging about a new pony game made for the Nervegear. After several months of waiting, the game is released, as a way for the players to actually travel to Equestria as ponies themselves.

But... things become screwy when Discord appears. Whether it was in the game design or not, this being of chaos has gained control over the virtual Equestria, trapping every brony wearing Nervegear inside the game. However, there is one way to get out. The bronies in the game must find and acquire the Elements of Harmony, which Discord has hidden throughout all of Equestria. But there is one drawback: If a player dies in the game, then the Nervegear will fry their brains in the real world, killing them on the spot. If they die in the game, they will die in the real world.

This idea was given to me from the Japanese Anime, "Sword Art Online." Please, no hate comments or dislikes for this fact. At least read the first chapter before outright disliking it.
Thanks to Raybony for making the cover art for this story.

I hope you like really bad puns and word avalanches. These are just very short stories that all end in one or the other. Groaning and facehoofs ahead.

I currently update with at least two new puns at a time, but not on a schedule. Just whenever the mood strikes me to make more. My goal is 50 eventually.

This story is a sequel to The Amazing Spider Mare: The Symbiote Saga

(Dedicated in loving memory of Stan "The Man" Lee, co-creator of Spider Man, 1922-2018. Takes place in an alternative universe post Season 5.)

Hold onto your hooves, true believers! Spider Mare is back once again, and this time she's bringing along her new crime fighting partner, Black Cat.

A new crime syndicate is making a name for itself in Ponyville and all across Equestria, but authorities are puzzled by the mysterious nature of the criminals and their unknown leader. Spidey and Black Cat investigate, but even they have no clue who or what they're up against.

Meanwhile, from the shadows emerges an even greater threat than a crime syndicate. Four of the web slinger's greatest enemies are freed during a prisoner transfer and brought before two more villains with an ax to grind against our web slinging, crime fighting duo.

All the while, Pinkie Pie is distracted not just by her new relationship with Cheese Sandwich, but also by the boss for her Aunt Suzanne's new job at a local homeless shelter. Little does she know that said boss harbors a dark secret. One that will unleash perhaps her greatest arch-enemy yet.

This story is a sequel to Pinkie Pie: The Amazing Spider Mare

Hold onto your seats, true belivers and newcomers of all ages! Everyone's favorite web slinging super heroine is back, and this time she's facing the ultimate enemy, a villan that knows everything about her!

When a mysterious meteorite comes crashing down from the skies, it brings with it an unexpected passenger that will turn Pinkie Pie's life upside down. Soon, Spider Mare's got a brand new suit to fight crime with, but it seems to have a mind of its own. And it has no quarrels about hurting or killing evil doers, putting our webslinger's moral code on the line!

As if things couldn't get anymore complicated, Cheese Sandwich has come back to Ponyville, hoping to start up a relationship with Pinkie Pie. But is there room in our webslinger's heart, when her past love life ended in tragedy?

Powerful forces and difficult struggles bring about the rise of a new super villan, the likes of which Spider Mare has never seen before. The fearsome symbiote known as: Venom! Pretty soon, it's an all out webslinging showdown, and only one will come out on top!

So sit back, and witness this dramatic new chapter in Spider Mare's story! Will she be able to earn her happy ending, this time?

(Tagged alternative universe due to the events of Season 5)

Pinkie Pie has a secret. A secret that no one knows about.

For you see, Pinkie Pie is not a normal pony. Unknown to all but Pinkie herself (though she was not aware of it at first), a bite from a radioactive spider gave her super duper spider powers. But Pinkie Pie ultimately learned the hard way, that with great power, comes great responsibility.

And so, Pinkie Pie vowed to use her powers to defeat crime and corruption. And the superhero known as Spider Mare was born!

In this exciting first issue, you'll witness the birth, and rise of the web slinging mare. Watch as she valiantly defends her hometown of Ponyville from evil villans big and small. See her battle with villans all across Equestria!

Along the way however, she'll have to come to grips with the limits of her powers, and her personal failures.

This story is a sequel to Equestria Legends Online

This fanfiction is co-authored by Shadowflame and MidnightChaos

Months have passed since the ELO Incident, where over a thousand players, mostly bronies, were trapped in the MMORPG, "Equestria Legends Online". Now however, life continues peacefully in both the real world and in Equestria Online's server as ELO's veterans are finally recovering from the incident. It finally seems that our heroes have reached the peaceful, 'not-so-normal' life they longed for.

However, trouble calls them again as Shadowflame and MidnightDreams are suddenly snatched out of EO with forty other players and residents alike. The players find themselves lost in another server, able to log out, but unable to log back into EO, instead only able to come back to this unknown world. But as for the residents, they have been kidnapped, and their captor has declared a ransom payment from EO before they return them. If a ransom isn't paid, the residents are in danger of being brainwashed to kill each other.

It's up to Shadow, Midnight, and the other players to band together and return the kidnapped residents back to their senses, take down the captor who rules the server, and return back to Equestria Online. Time isn't on their side, and neither is the server itself. Just how many will die this time?
