Today was a shaping up to be a bad day, Apple Bloom had been running for her life in the Everfree forest. Now she didn't even know if she was even in the same forest anymore. She had never before seen trees so tall, and never before had she met something so strange.

Something ancient.
Something overflowing with old and powerful magic.
Something green.

The Great War was brutal, but thanks to the near inhospitable frozen lands of the north, the Crystal Empire was spared much of the Changeling's Wrath.

While Empress Nightmare Moon leads the battered armies of the Lunar Empire in the occupation of the former Changeling Hives, and reclamation efforts to the south, the Empire is left to its own devices.

Governess Rarity has ruled the Crystal Empire for the last two years since her appointment by the great Empress, Nightmare Moon. With the skills developed from running her fashion business, the Crystal Empire has flourished beyond the imaginations of anycreature.

This prosperity and her renown fairness has made these lands a bastion for anycreature (changeling included) looking for a chance to live in harmony- a true Equestria. But all good things must come to an end. The wars to the south are winding down, and without the need to lead her armies, Nightmare Moon is ready to assess the state of her Empire.

What better place to start than the jewel in the Equestrian Crown?

An idea I've been working before converting it for the Fourth annual Equestria at War Writing Contest.

While digging through files they shouldn't read, Crow's Nest and Daisy Dancer find out the true mother of Princess Twilight Sparkle... now to tell her without getting arrested.

Twilight accidentally turned her parents into houseplants, back when she was a filly.

Some ponies are never able to change their parents back.

To keep pony-shaped robots from eating their brains, Sue and her friends fled into the mountains, where the girls live by their hunting skills and their wits.

But Sue discovers the truth is more complicated than she'd thought.

(This story takes place in the same world as Friendship is Optimal. In that world, the computer superintelligence CelestAI wants to give every human a kind of eternal life, by disassembling each human and reconstructing them inside a utopian computer simulation as a pony form.)

Without a lot to do, Alan has let the over-large box from an online order sit around his place for weeks now. Predictably, when he finally gets the energy to do something about it he finds that a pony has moved into it.

Things happen from there. Nothing exciting but, you know, they still happen.

Equestria is a cold and lifeless place, but in Canterlot, a little spark of hope remains. Protected by the Princesses' own shield, Derpy Hooves and her new companions try to find some semblance of warmth in an unforgiving world.

Written in 1hr 10 for a crackship contest. Derpy x Fleur de Lis, an underrated couple.

This story is a sequel to Anarchy: Pony of Chaos, but you don’t need to read that one to understand.

Through the use of Discord's magic, Rainbow Dash and Applejack are currently expecting a foal. Heck, they even picked out a name for the little colt or filly! But not all is well on Sweet Apple Acres. Due to Discord's... well, Discord... Dash ended up the one set to carry the future Zap Apple, which now threatens her Captaincy of the Wonderbolts.

It's bad enough that the undead black sheep of the Apple clan is living and working on the farm, but now Rainbow has to give up the dream job she's been working for all her life!?

The real question is: Can she?

Part of the Anarchyverse.

Derpy is asked to house-sit for the Doctor. She's eager to help out her favorite stallion... until she has one of her little mishaps and smashes one of his most prized watches.

Now she has less than a day to fix or replace it before the Doc returns. No problem, right? After all, how expensive can a "Ponex" watch be, anyway...?

Have you ever been really frustrated when you're trying to take something super seriously, but nobody else seems to care? That's pretty much what Nightmare Moon has to deal with when Twilight and friends don't really feel like fighting her and just ask her how she's doing.

Profanity tag for one f-bomb.
