This story is a sequel to Gears in the Void

Beyond the Crystal Mountains lies the Frozen North, its original name long forgotten behind a barrier of icy spires and temperatures low enough to flash freeze a pegasus. The last attempt to revisit the birthplace of ponies failed decades ago, and the princesses believe it is time for another attempt.

Two weeks after the events of Gears in the Void, Sterling Gears is still adjusting to what she has lost, but when a hero and the princesses ask her to do what she does best, how can she refuse?

The North awaits. She just has to answer the call.

Part 2 of The Tinker's Journey.

Mornings aren't fun for the average pony, but when there's a snowstorm in the way of your job, it's just downright bad. Couple that with having to deal with your annoying little sister, and you've got a taste of Celestia's morning.

In the two years you have known her, Rainbow Dash has always made you laugh and smile, she has been there when you need her, and she knows when to back off. She is the perfect mare to be with, but what happens when somepony doesn't want you to succeed?

Rainbow Dash has used the last of her free money for the month and is absolutely starving for some pizza, so she learned to make it herself. Now, with an urge to make pizza for her friends' get together, what will the end result be?

Written as part of Chaotic Note's writing challenge. I like to try for comedy, and I like to set the stage for something I may eventually write. I know I am not very good at comedy, but I went for it anyway!

Everypony knows the name DJ PON-3. She's the most famous—or infamous, depending on your social circle—DJ in Equestria. She's loud, she's crude, she likes to party. Everywhere she goes, fun follows. She has ponies worshiping the ground she walks on, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Or would she?

Everyone has a facade hiding who they really are underneath, and every facade has a weak point. The time has come for the true Vinyl Scratch to be revealed to the world, whether she likes it or not.

A collaboration with my good friend Auramane.

Red Team had been given an assignment. It wasn't the usual sort of assignment. They were assigned to defend their base 'until further notice'...and then never received notice. All announcements sounded pre-recorded, and enemy assaults were few and far between. The enforced inactivity was slowly fraying the bonds of the team...

...until something unexpected arrived. A tiny creature appears one day in their fortress, in need of compassion and care. Somehow, she finds that in this group of strange individuals, as she becomes their baby.

Crossover with Team Fortress 2.
Part of the PWNY-verse.

Edit: Since I get these comments a lot, I will say here, I've never played the game and don't intend to include much in the way of game mechanics, so please don't suggest such things.

We hoped to escape her rule. She rules us with her iron hoof, that pretender. I will find my queen and restore her rule. But will my skill be enough?

Thanks to Starlight Shadow for the idea.
