A soldier, an archeologist, and an android move to a small town in the furthest reaches of Equestria—a town run by a classified institution that safeguards the odd and inexplicable. A town built over the ruins of an ancient pre-Equestrian civilization. A town in the middle of a corruption scandal relating to an ancient artifact of unknown power.

Love is shared, Thorax and the changelings are freed, Chrysalis is defeated, and alls well that ends well. But Twilight isn't Celestia. An escaping villain should be chased down. In pursuit of chrysalis however, Twilight is surprised to uncover the truth of who the queen really is, and learns a little of the truth of politics in the process.

A personal twist on the season 6 finale, inspired by watching said finale, listening to my brother complain about it, and pondering how I would have structured the story differently. Less a "Fix" and more a "what would I do if I ran the zoo?"

Pinkamena just wants to stay in her own lane. If Pinkie has a problem that needs yelled at, kicked at, or jeeringly tolerated until it goes away, she can handle it. But what’s a sourfaced split personality to do when her agreeable half vanishes overnight like a fart in the wind?

Pinkamena is not a sleuth. Nor a convincing actress. But she’ll need to be both to guise as Pinkie and solve the mystery of where her better half went.

What a pain in the flank.

(Teen rating for Pinkamena’s crassness and comically short temper.)


Its National Novel Writing Month! I'm breaking my regular short story conventions for a multi-chapter tale of fumbling comedy, uneasy mystery, and (most frightful of all) first-person narration.

Mainstay's life was like an old shoe: worn and uncomfortable, but familiar. Nopony went on grand adventures in Smile Harbour, there were no lost magic artifacts or rampaging monsters, just the daily chore of reaping the sea and whiling away a quiet evening at the pub. But Mainstay is sucked into a maelstrom when one of a hoofful of humans who emigrated to Equestria buys the house nextdoor! With his peaceful life dashed on the rocks he flounders in this strange new sea, trying to find something, or somepony, to hold onto.


Trigger warning: Lots of swearing, some violence, mentions of suicide and self-harm, and a little vaguely described intimacy.

Edit 10-30-18: Added an AU tag. This is because of the Dazzlings being reformed between the event of Rainbow Rocks and this story :scootangel:

On the next day after the end of the Friendship Games, Twilight starts the slow healing process from her corruption. Unsure if the students she met at Canterlot High are her friends or not, she seeks to spend the weekend reading with the company of her beloved dog, Spike. However, her plans are interrupted when the unexpected happens. Twilight meets someone who appears to know her and is not a pleasant encounter.

This is a story I have been planning for a while and I'm really excited to finally be writting this strange pairing! :pinkiehappy:
I hope you enjoy this story! I'm putting my heart into it :twilightsmile:
Special thanks to:
Zalla661: He not only edits the chapters, but he also provided me with a cover for this story! :scootangel:
Windsor: My brother in arms. He provides ideas and suggestions :pinkiesmile:

For decades, the tales of heroes and capes have captured the minds of young children across Equestria. Stories of villainy most foul and the brave ponies who stopped at nothing to secure freedom and justice. It has been 20 years since a new story has been told, and as the young and brash Silver Spade is about to learn, some heroes are born through fire.

Follow this tale of conspiracy and corruption, of perseverance and dignity, as the forces lurking in Canterlot's shadow are revealed and the battle is fought for one stallion's vengeance.

Welcome to The Ghost of Coltistrano. As a little context to this story, it's something of a love letter to the age of old pulp heroes like Zorro, Lone Ranger, the Shadow, etc.. I really wanted to try my hand at both writing a novel and setting up a world where these sort of pulp themes intertwine with the MLP show itself. As you read, you may find hints and easter eggs to other properties, all of which are intentional, and are meant to pay homage to the many sources of inspiration this story has. +5 points to anyone who finds them all :raritywink:

Depending on the turnout of this story it may be turned into a full-fledged series, including short stories and larger installments later on down the road. So please, enjoy. Check out the sequel!

Nuclear power is a bust. Twilight killed her friends. Can cloning and philosophy bring them back? (Or will we merely be pone-ished?)


- Content note: In addition to the tags-- references to intercourse (which does not take place). 'Tragedy' nearly suits this as a tag... but should it be swapped with 'Dark' or 'Comedy' since there is a three tag limit? Tagging presented a difficult decision. :facehoof:

- Not a crossover with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (an early Sci-Fi story), but thematically and titularly adjacent!
