When a spell goes awry, the only pony who can help Sweetie Belle is nowhere to be seen. With an apple-crazy mare getting on her nerves, an angry mob chasing after her, and Fluttershy shutting her out, what else can she do? RUN!!

Story idea given to me by Fonypan.

Thanks to Silv3r Shadow and PinkiePieFox for helping with this.

A normal day is shattered as a quake happens unleashing an ancient darkness from before recorded history. The Main 6 gather to face this evil with the help of Luna, they will learn of a nearly forgotten part of history as a legend steps out of the shadows but will his legend help or is he already lost in his own darkness.

One day, Zeke Daniels, the only human in Equestria, asks Princess Celestia a simple question: why don't ponies have queens?

Noticing her Princess' plight, the kitchen mare helpfully offers some of Luna's "special brew" to jumpstart Celestia's day. Chaos ensues when an overly percolated princess can't handle her caffeine!

(Rated "Teen" for the single use of one naughty word.)

Daybreak's story is told here in Sometimes It Takes a Double Shot!

(Many thanks to CaptainBron3y for this live reading!)

Don't miss the unofficial sequel "A Princess Needs her Coffee", a lovely story by my wonderful friend Broman.

Don't stop running.

Don't stop moving.

And whatever you do, for the love of God, do not turn around.

This is the mantra that Matthew, a lone human in Equestria, repeats in his head as he sprints through the woods on a particularly dark night.

Something is following him. Something that won't stop chasing him until it catches him.

What would you do if you were being hunted?

Follow the adventures of an socially awkward adult human trapped in a little colt body, as he is force to relive his childhood; face the horrors of Equestria and all it abnormal gender roles; and fight an army of darkness??? Wait what?! Only time will time if our little 'hero' and his group of friends has what it takes to save Equestria and everyone in it.

First Ark: Star Circuit Falls
"Hello, my name is… Runt, Weirdo, Freak, Monster, Psycho, Unwanted Child, Weakling… to be honest I have been called so many things, it no wonder that I forgot… I forgot my name and every name I ever knew. But that is not what this story is about… this is about how I got lost, found a new name, and was forced to be something I felt I wasn’t. It all started in November, about a week before Thanksgiving."

Second Ark: Winter Break

(Humans only during flashbacks.)

The Griffin empire has gone too far this time. I mean, they can't even spell their own name in the proper Equestrian way! Frustrated with treaties and negotiations that go nowhere, Princess Celestia decides to blow off a little steam the only way she knows how -- bashing in her plates with her sister.

Apologies to Dinoguy1000 for pre-reading.

My name is Starswirl and I am an earth pony. This is a collection of stories about my life. As I reflect on the events that have brought me to this home by the sea, I can only hope for one thing; that my life be viewed as ordinary and plain, but my work in theoretical magic be held the highest regard. I placed so much effort into my studies in theoretical magic that it would be a shame to let my work be lost somewhere in the sands of time.

As seen on Equestria Daily!

updates whenever I get a chance to update it :P.

The news had shocked the entire nation. Anger, violence, and even threats of war have erupted in the colony on the borders of the harsh Frozen North, all of it centered around the infamous city of Gueldergrad. If Equestria is to put an end to the chaos before it escalates, somepony must venture into the foreign lands and set things right.

A noble unicorn steps up to meet the challenge: Shining Armor. Newest prince of the Crystal Empire. Captain of the Royal Guard. The pride of the Equestrian armed forces.

But there is a lot hidden in the far-stretching lands of the Frozen North, and even more can it reveal among those who dare to enter. Things the valiant captain does not yet know about his own company, those who command him, or even himself...
