The Fire of Friendship has all but faded. One thousand years ago, Equestria fractured... those who disagreed with Celestia's rule left under the leadership of Princess Luna to found their own nation, their own way of life. Seventy years later, Celestia and Luna both disappeared during the first war, leaving the battered nations leaderless in their absence.

Over the last nine hundred years wars have frequently waged between Equestria and Lunaria, each seeking to unite ponykind under their own ideals. Equestria's mastery of magic often gave it the edge in battle, but never enough for a decisive victory. Peace reigns for now, but recent developments in Lunaria signal a shift in the balance between the two divided nations...

This story is a sequel to Twilight's Duel School of Friendship: Freshman Year

The Student Six are returning to Twililight's School of Friendship and dueling. They were hoping for an easy year compared to their Freshman year. However, that doesn't appear to be the case. An old ancient threat to Equestria returns and aims to continue his plan to shroud Equestria and the world of Duel Monsters in eternal darkness. With the recently brought back Pillars of Equestria, The Student Six will finally be mentored to hone in their element to take on the darkness that is, the Shadows.

Thank you to everyone who has read this. I never thought this would happen and am honored beyond words.

This story is a sequel to The Irony of Applejack

Warning: this story is a sequel. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you read the prequel first before continuing!

Over half a year has passed since the changeling attack on Ponyville, and Applejack would like to think things have finally settled down. Much has changed for the young changeling, and all of Equestria in kind. The new district in Ponyville proves that, along with the town's many new residents.
But there is much the young queen does not yet know about being a changeling. Some things, she will learn, can be chosen, while others will be chosen for her. With new allies and enemies emerging all around her, Applejack must discover what it truly means to rule before the choice is taken from her forever, and the history of the changelings repeats itself, once again...

Chrysalis failed to embody the princess of love and control a good part of Equestria, and during her revenge monologue, she finds a little pony with a cruel story that even the queen could not believe.

The sequel of the story can be read here A Spark of Hope, written by Prismfire , I know you will love it as much as this one.

Celestia just wants to experience one last part of normal pony life. Discord doesn't understand it, but he's willing to go with it.

A short little thing I wrote for Akataja for Jinglemas 2022

Rainbow Dash wants to take her marefriend Fluttershy out to a nice meal on Hearths Warming Eve, she'd got something important she wants to tell her. If only she can get up the nerve to get the words out.

Written for SuperWriter2329] for Jinglemas 2022 based on the prompt I would like to have Rainbow and Fluttershy on a romantic date in Cloudsdale, not the EQG one. You can put in some funny and comedy elements in there, but not too much. Also, make it so that the two kissed at the end of their date.

Many thank's to Rixizu for suggestions.

Canterlot City has seen more than its fair share of craziness, but it's about to get even weirder. Cars without drivers? Mysterious meteorites? Sunset Shimmer and her friends are about to learn that when it comes to things in this world, there's almost always more than meets the eye.

Sidenote; let it be known that I am by no means an artist; my best work involves Hero Forge, so if anyone wants to do fanart of any scenes or designs in this fic, I am 100% okay with that.

A army from the west has sets their sight on Equestria, how will the ponies find hope against this threat.

This story is a sequel to A Noble Death

For the former Spartan Noble Six, life after death no longer holds any mysteries. Finding herself in the aftermath of a war against the changelings that she had brutally finished, Six has to contend with one of the greatest challenges a soldier can face: walking away from war.

Only a month after the Changeling-Pony War ended, another changeling monarch appears in Canterlot. King Phasmatodea of the Fifth Hive, a complete unknown to pony and changeling alike. Battleworn and rich with mysteries, knowledge, and artifacts, King Phasma catches the eye of both the Princesses of Equestria and Six. To the Princesses, he is the ticket to preventing a future war with the changelings. To Six, this King Phasma seems to be more important than any native she has met, for he claims to be something that Six swore she would never see again: another human.
