Twilight Sparkle, pedantic loner and former student to Princess Celestia, attempts the unprecedented: armed robbery of the National Bank of Equestria. That's her intention, anyway. Twilight's partner in crime, Rarity, insists that two ponies are not sufficient to pull off a job of this caliber. And apparently she has four other participants in mind...

Author's note: If you intend to read this, I recommend you do so before scrolling down to the comments 'cos of possible spoilers. You've been warned.

Equestria, but not as you know it.

Welcome to the radiant capital of the Solar Kingdom. Gargantuan skyscrapers line the streets and mechanical transports dot the skies. AI constructs reign over most electronics built within the last decade.

The streets of Canterlot and New Ponyville are embroiled in a corporate cold war while more obvious international conflict threatens to engulf the borders. A young, sheltered Twilight Sparkle embarks on a perilous tour of this brave new world with the aid of a select few others: less-than-fortunate outcasts and calculating socialites among them.

An amalgamation of classic and modern cyberpunk in controlled doses. Inject directly into bloodstream.
For the more genteel among you: story contains measured amounts of violence and profanity.

A classic tale. Twilight tries magic. Magic doesn't work. Magic ends up reaching across the dimensional boundaries of time and space to bring forth the League of Legends's most dreaded incarnation of fear on four hooves to peaceful little Ponyville. Simple stuff, really.

A delightful little story in which the Shadow of War learns that friendship is the most powerful magic of all.
... Or was it suffering? Maybe it was suffering.

This story is a sequel to Requiem For A Soldier

Shield Heart, Commissioner of Ponyville, now finds himself in a battle against his worst foe: Boredom.

He's used to a life full of excitement, danger, trouble and fights. But Ponyville doesn't have any on these problems, which means he'll have to get creative and do something to keep himself busy. Of he's not able, he might go berserk on the whole town!

Twilight, Cadence and the rest of the gals will need to work together if they are to restore this broken man back to what he once was, and certain circumstances will make it near impossible to control the blond soldier!

They will also need to learn of his past through his odd acquaintances he's made and have taken residence in the lovely town. Maybe then they can see just how fractured his mind really is.

Sequel: How to Bore a Commissioner

Previously known as "There Is Always A Solution."

In an alternate Equestria, where technology has progressed faster thanks to magic, Shield Heart is a regular enforcer, tasked with the retrieval of an ancient medallion deep inside Goblin Territory. After things go south he faints near Ponyville, where Fluttershy, Shining Armor and Cadence rush him to a hospital.

Shining Armor and Cadence are surprised that an old friend has come, but they know from experience that where Shield goes, trouble is bound to come. And things don't improve when the commissioner learns that he has been stationed in Ponyville, the peaceful town he really doesn't know much of.

Now, Twilight and company have been tasked with the restoration of Shield Heart's mental health. A task easier said than done.

Cadence and Shining Armor appear in chapter 2

After putting on the Element of Magic, Sunset Shimmer was shown just how much of a monster she really is. But that wasn't all the Elements did to her.

Sunset has now been forced to serve penance by answering any question truthfully and by doing anything asked of her, whether she wants to or not.

And she really doesn't want to.

Until all of the hatred in her heart is gone, Sunset is at the whim of her peers, unbeknownst to them of course. Can her new "friends" help her down the road to redemption?

If not, there's always that other Twilight Sparkle she keeps running into.

At the end of days, Twilight writes her final letter to Princess Celestia, then makes a decision about her future. Inspired in part by the Aviators song 'One Last Letter,' and by the events of the Season 4 premiere.

"It has been the pivotal teaching of the great Fountainhead, personal mentor and Celestia's most esteemed archivist, that the grand unified theory of magic, if discovered, is to be found within the mage's affectivity –that is; of the polarizing impetus of love, for unicorn magic, and hate, for Black Magic. It is claimed, further, that reality itself, too, is subject to this principle; and to deny so was self-contradictory. The dogma, however was not uncontested. Unicorns, Mages and Archmages from all over Equestria of all emotional preconditions would challenge and confute the thesis with ease. It was here that the great Fountainhead replied that the grand unified principle was too profound to be felt and too minute to be perceivable. He posits that, though invisible, this maxim holds together the fabric of the universe: matter with magic; existence with consciousness; dreams with reality; and–most significant of all–ourselves with one another."

This story is a sequel to Spike: The Last Draconian

It has been five years since Spike, Dameion, and Sunset Shimmer left through a portal into the Great Unknown.

In the time he was gone, Spike had taken to a life of conquest and Soul Stealing. Now he's mastered both his Necromancy and Vindicator skills, becoming a Draconian King, alongside Dameion, and is now competing in an event called "The Fortune of Fafnir;" a War-type game played with other Kings and Queens of the Draconian species.

This is a battle that will involve Equestria...this version of it at least, and many other beings. Spike and his clique will make allies and enemies alike, and one of his enemies happened to be on Equestria all this time.

Now it's a race to find a hidden Draconian, who's been constructing a containment unit powerful enough to wipe Equus, and its universe, from the plane of existence itself!

Will Spike succumb to this strong foe? Is Equus doomed?

There's only one way to find out.

What are you waiting for?

(This story is in the canon section of 'The Fortune of Fafnir', a universe created by me and soon to be expanded upon by other group members...or you.)

After having his heart broken, Spike finds himself in a parrallel world. He must race against time as he only has three days to recover a dangerous mask before the moon crashes into the world. Based on the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask by Nintendo.

*Takes place in Season 3 before Magical Mystery Cure.*
