You remember Canterlot. You remember the taste of victory. Across a thousand years and a hundred lives, it was the greatest joy you had ever felt.

And then, in a flash of heat and unbearable light, it ended.

Now you are alone. The rest of your kind are dead or scattered, and you cannot hear their thoughts.

There is a void inside you. A gnawing, endless hunger you cannot escape. It is killing you.

You need love to survive, but there is none of that here. Not for you. You can only steal it from them, these ponies for whom we are hungry.

Kuno, a young changeling, is left weak, bloodied, and bruised after the events of the Canterlot wedding. She is soon discovered by Warden, a Royal Guard. But for some reason, Warden shows her mercy. Instead of taking her into the custody of the Royal Guard, he becomes both her captor and her savior. But over time, Kuno will come to ask herself the hardest question she has ever pondered: Can a changeling feel love?

A/N: This story is old. Like really old. Writing is very janky. Proceed at your own discretion.

Luna has a problem. Sombra was destroyed, or at least that's what most of Equestria believes. Normally she wouldn't care he was actually banished, but rumors have reached her from his new home. Rumors of a dark figure rising to political influence, spreading evil and corruption in its wake. Time to tie up loose ends.

Chance has a problem. Sometimes a visit from an old friend is a welcome surprise. Other times, they hand you a ridiculous sum of money and tell you to kill some random crime boss. Oh well. Half up-front isn't bad, provided you survive to see the rest. But that shouldn't be a problem. After all, how bad could this Sombra guy actually be?

A pony (turned human) on Earth, story.

Secrets are powerful things. Just one secret revealed can change everything, and so we hold them close, only letting them out to those we explicitly trust. When Hermaeus Mora learns of an incredibly powerful secret, he targets the sole keeper of the secret: Luna, Princess of the Night. Now, an amnesiac Luna must traverse the land of Skyrim in an attempt to find a way home, lest Mora wrest the Secret of the Moon from her, and use it to gain more power than any being has the right to control.

Princess Luna was looking forward to seeing the changes in Equestria since her banishment and Nightmare Night seemed like a good place to start. Unfortunately, fate had other ideas and now she finds herself stuck in Tartarus-knows-where with an insufferable slob of a creature known as a human. Worse, he refuses to tell her how he knows her name and threatens her with the box if she misbehaves.

At least until Saturday, or so he has promised.

Rated Teen for Language.

Originally one of my emote prompt stories, now expanded upon.

Max works in a bar, hidden away from the views of the highly sophisticated and posh citizens of Canterlot City. Being human doesn't help improve his bar's reputation. But one day he'll learn that, if you stay in a certain place long enough, there will be ponies curious enough to trot through the door.

The bar's motto is "To mix drinks and change lives!"

Heavily inspired by the game VA-11 HALL-A
Rated Teen because reasons

This story is a sequel to You Can Fight Fate

Time loops? The end of existence as we know it? Fate itself conspiring against you? Who has the energy to deal with that kind of thing?

Not Cloud Kicker, that's for sure. She's a mare who knows what she wants out of life. An easy job, a nice house, and an endless supply of potential banging partners. Then one day a simple little flower vendor moves in down the street and everything starts to change.

As a side story to the main Time Loop Trilogy, you can expect massive spoilers in the comments for both the original stories and unwritten chapters of this one.

Vermilion didn’t join the Guard to be a hero. He just wanted to escape the farm and his old, boring life.

But now it seems he may have no choice – his unit is being sent to Hollow Shades, a tiny hamlet hidden in the depths of an endless forest, to fight monsters on behalf of Luna and Celestia. When the mission turns into a disaster and the town is lost, Vermilion finds himself at the forefront of an unexpected war, with all of Equestria at stake.

A new dark age has begun. Heroes must be found to guard the flickering lights of civilization. And Vermilion and his friends will discover that monsters are the least of their worries.

Set in the years before Nightmare Moon’s banishment, The World is Filled with Monsters follows a young hero and his friends as they struggle to protect a newfound nation – and discover the cost of greatness.
