Charley was not the least bit surprised when he came face to face with Death after months of fighting cancer. It was just the final thing in a long line of disappointment and regret for him.

Death, however, wasn't pleased with what he saw, and threatened Charley with losing his soul for the way his life turned out. Before it was lost though, Death decided to give Charley one final chance. A last task: to make one friend. Make one friend in one week, and he'd be able to pass through to the other side.

Making one friend in one week? That should be easy enough, right?

After having a terrible and horrible life , I was given a chance and made a deal with the dev-I mean Discord. Transferred as a god with dashing features into a television program that I never paid attention to ? Hell yeah. My only concern is what Discord meant by 'prone to enslavement.'

Not long after becoming Equstria's new reigning monarch, Twilight receives a letter from Prince Blueblood. It's not a declaration of war from the land's rightful ruler to the unprincipled usurper who's claimed the throne, and he explains why.

My entry in the 2022 Crackship Contest, this story didn't make the top eleven.

This story is a sequel to Tales from Everfree City

The Equestrian experiment is failing.

Fewer than forty years after Commander Hurricane, Princess Platinum, and Chancellor Puddinghead united the three pony tribes into one nation, that nation stands on the brink of ruin. The Triumvirate that once led Equestria forward lies broken in the aftermath of war and civil strife, leaving only the unicorn queen, Platinum III, to rule from Everfree alone. The Cirran Legion, once the backbone of Equestria's military, has been dissolved, and with it, any semblance of control over the countryside has withered away.

To the south, along the fringes of equine civilization and settled lands, an old soldier flies alone. Once, she protected these ponies; once, she led them, standing shoulder to shoulder with the unicorn queen and the earth pony chancellor. But now she is just another sword in the wilderness, a leaf adrift on the winds of fate, as the twilight of her years fades away.

Because the Equestrian experiment is failing. And Commander Typhoon, daughter of the legendary Hurricane, is dead.

A Trot Through Vanhoover is a story set in the Equestria at War universe, with an emphasis on portraying two opposing perspectives of a conflict as a battle with almost certain results known in advance presses on.

If you're unfamiliar with the setting that is Equestria at War, it's a wonderful setting inspired by the grim realities of our own world wars contrasted with the cute, colorful ponies and other fantastical creatures of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. The setting was created for and is on full display in the mod of the same name for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV. If that premise sounds interesting or hilarious to you, I highly recommend you check out their Reddit/Discord. It's some high quality work.

It is early spring of 1013. The tides of war between ponies and changelings have changed at last, with the bugs driven into a desperate retreat across Equestria. Private Nimble Green, an Equestrian riflepony and Sergeant Decimus, leader of a changeling support artillery team are both thrust into the second battle of Vanhoover. With the ponies of Equestria having gained the advantage after months of struggling, a changeling victory is highly unlikely. Unfortunately, just because the changelings are clearly losing does not mean they have given up the fight, and what follows is sure to be a sobering friendship lesson on the nature of the conflict for everypony involved.

Celestial Era 1010. After the attempted coup by Nightmare Moon and the bloody conflict that followed, Celestia has emerged victorious. With her sister's forces scattered and leaderless, she creates the Order of Celestial Paladins to hunt down and capture any remaining Lunar Pegasi.

Should they come quietly, they will be purged of Luna's magic and transformed back into regular Pegasi. But if they refuse, well, Celestia has zero tolerance for Children of the Night. This is the story of one of them, a mare named Dusk Blossom, hunted by her own brother on order of Celestia.

Can she survive? And what will it do to her relationship with her brother?

This fic is a remake of the first fantasy short story I ever wrote, way back in 2012, simply entitled "Paladin". Consider this a thank you to all my followers who have helped me grow as a writer over the years within the pony fiction community!

This story assumes that the Children of the Night PMV is canon, with ponies willingly following Princess Luna.
