Her best and only magic teacher, Sunburst, abandoned her when he got his cutie mark and she didn't. Her butler and guardian, Proper Step refused to teach her magic, saying it wasn't "lady-like." Magic is in her blood, so she has no choice but to run away. She learns to fight with hoof and magic, first to save her life when she’s brutally attacked, but later because she is very good at it. She doesn't realize she's being honed to become somepony's sharp tool.

This is Starlight Glimmer’s pre-redemption The Gangs of New York and Anakin Skywalker Star Wars I, The Phantom Menace novel-length origin story.

About the warning tags: [Sex] Off screen, rare, unmistakable; [Violence] Street gangs, mafia bosses, prizefighting, becoming a bodyguard (naturally)—blood, occasionally. Please don’t be shocked and give the story a thumbs down because bad things happen to Starlight at a level that can’t be shown in show. Adversity always makes her stronger.

The sequel to this story is The Enforcer and Her Blackmailers. This is an Enforcerverse novel, and you can view that link if you want huge amounts of context.

A big shout-out to my pre-readers: Javarod and DoContra

My name is Derpy Hooves. Up until recently, I was just your almost typical local mailmare. Accidents tended to happen around me a lot, but everypony has to have something that's a little off, right? Things changed a bit when my ex-husband turned into a vampire and tried to kill me. Now I hunt down monsters for a living so that your average pony can continue to ignore their existence.

Monster hunting is dangerous work, but satisfying. From what I've been hearing from my new friends, though, a lot of the monsters we've been fighting lately have been—different. They've been more organized, for starters, and their attacks seem to have some larger goal in mind...

Rated T and tagged for gore and darkness because there will be many fight scenes, and you should expect them to get messy. Nothing too gratuitous, though.

Based loosely on Larry Correia's Monster Hunter: International. No familiarity with it is required for reading, but this work should be similar to it in spirit.

The depravity you see.

The gluttony which runs free.

Tis all be apart of me.

Very belated birthday gift to my friend Jimmy Hook, with of course some spooky flair.

A Little Nightmares TF.

(This is my first story any feedback would be appreciated)

A Displaced story idea I came up with when watching Wakfu season 2 for the second time and thought 'I kinda like Shadofang's powers..' and then this popped up.

Another poor sap comes across the merchant at a convention, and purchases what he thinks is a 'Replica' of his favorite Shu-Shu character from the show Wakfu. Turned to stone almost immediately upon arrival to Equestria, he has nobody to talk to but the ring he had purchased and the mis-matched creature that appeared to be sharing his fate. Freed about a thousand years later (Give or take), he escapes the Princesses grasp and leaves to explore the land. How will he make his way through Equestria with Shadofang on his hand?

Planning to tie this in with my Story Son of a Kaiju! and Feeling Cooler.

Switched from E to T just in case because mild swearing.

(Not a lot of character tags, because to be honest... I haven't got a completely clear idea of where I'm going with this yet... Just warning you ahead of time. Character tags might be added as the story progresses.)

Token Status: Probably not the best time for a displaced visit, unless you're okay with somewhat sporadic collaboration

While on a walk outside of Town one night Spike ends up with the Omnitrix on his wrist. now being able to turn into 10 super cool aliens, Spike tries to become the hero he always wanted to be.

I've always been diligent with my jobs. I've been loyal to my employers. Over my past employments, I've seen many strange things.

But my newest job may very well be the strangest one yet. Forced into a new world with a new role, I'm starting to think that I'm over my head.

But, when your boss seems to have power on par with the Devil, I can't really refuse now, can I?

Well, if I'm going to be Havoc's Agent, then you can be damn sure I'll be the best possible one I can be. Look out, Equestria, because Fernando's coming, and I'm bringing Hell with me.

Too bad Hell doesn't happen overnight...

Inspired by stories like The Rise of Darth Vulcan, this is my take on human villains.

Tags will be updated as required.

Let's face it, Thorax is a trooper.

Not because he survived getting his love eaten by Chrysalis then took over the Changeling Empire, but because he managed to survive in the Crystal Empire with Phototaxis.

How will Thorax strive to fix something ingrained in his Biology? Will he stop getting distracted by Shiny things?

This story is inspired by the Lamp meme.

The Mane 6 Leave Starlight in charge while they're off on a Friendship quest, so she does the responsible thing and call's Spike and Trixie to come and watch the world burn

Spike only wants things to stay the same. Time, however, has other ideas. He's going to need a lot of help... An everypony story.
