The only thing more shocking than a letter from their parents is what it says.

This story is a sequel to To Our Dear Children...

After the revelations from their parents, Apple Bloom meets her twin sister. But what is the filly hiding?

Twilight is having a difficult time adjusting to being an alicorn. Everything is changing, and it's nothing like she expected. She's wanted this all her life - so why is she always turning into a monster in her nightmares?

Her friends keep telling her that it can't be that bad, and whatever changes may come, being a princess is worth it. Especially Rarity, who looks at her a little differently now that she has wings and a title. But if Celestia won't tell her what it's really like being an alicorn, what else is she hiding?

Written as a gift for Seer, who deserves all the RariTwi in the world. Cover art by the fantastic Shaslan.

Massive thanks to all my prereaders - I never would have written this story without you.

Twilight's final step in earning her wings was completing a spell Starswirl the Bearded left unfinished when he disappeared. Starlight, having recently finished the last of Twilight's lessons, decides that it's her turn to finish a spell. If only her knowledge of the Old Ponish language were better...

This story is a sequel to Seekers of the Epitaph: World of Azeroth

Weeks after the Battle of the Sunwell, human paladin Bella Cartier, night elf druid Flutashe Lunarwind, gnome priest Mena Overclock, dracthyr mage Stellaglim, and night elf demon hunter Raida Lunarwind travel to the northern continent of Northrend in reaction to a series of daring attacks on the Alliance and Horde.

Meanwhile, time runs out for human warrior Jaqueline Pomerton as the magical core within her body draws the spectre of death to claim her life. Though in death, her life truly begins. She will have to learn a new way of fighting while wielding the necromantic powers that course through her.

Other threats will have to be faced as well, from belligerent blue dragons, misguided proto humans, desperate trolls, renegade Titan Keepers and an ancient evil whose whispers bring madness.

This story is a sequel to The Eternal Sphere

Several years have passed since the Incident where the former noble, Crystal Silicon, attempted to attack Equestria using digital monsters. Twilight Sparkle was ready to create a new galaxy in the Eternal Sphere simulator using the experimental Project Zereth and use it to maintain the cycle of life and death in the galaxy.

On a vulnerable world called Azeroth, Twilight used a procedure called Project Ankh to reincarnate her old friends from a thousand years ago. Her fellow Element Bearers and Starlight Glimmer were reborn among the races of Azeroth.

Aside from the many dangers coming enslave or destroy Azeroth, a hidden threat lurks in the shadows. The Equestrian Liberation Front, seeking to end the reign of the Alicorns, have tracked the seven fragments of power they were looking for to the experimental galaxy. The ELF will do what is necessary to retrieve the fragments from under Sphere's proverbial nose, even hiding themselves among Azeroth's people.

The dark tag is because it's Warcraft. While it has some funny and quirky elements to it, there are also plenty of dark elements too, the BFA arc especially.

Reading Starcraft: Warriors of Purity and The Eternal Sphere isn't required, though the former will give context on how this AU came to be.

This story is a sequel to Starcraft: Warriors of Purity

A thousand years have passed since the Battle of the Void against the renegade Xel'naga Amon. Equestria has entered an age of advanced technology and space exploration. The Protoss live alongside the Ponies and the Alicorns are having to learn how to make a universe from scratch.

Twilight has founded a research institute and named it Sphere 211. The facility has a simulator that has an artificial universe contained within.

With the discovery of a magical science called Symbology, Sphere has been working alongside the denizens of the Eternal Sphere to research this new subject.

However, a mysterious threat has arisen that threatens not only the Eternal Sphere, but possibly Equestria as well. The key to stopping this threat may lie with three young humans who have been given strange symbological powers.

The strangest part is that one of the three humans does not belong in the Eternal Sphere.

Sweetie Drops was a former agent of the former Equestrian intelligence agency known as S.M.I.L.E. After the agency was destroyed and its agents murdered by their benefactor, Prince Blueblood, Sweetie went into hiding under the alias of Bon Bon, Ponyville's local candy maker.

Blueblood publicly denounced the agents as rebels against the princesses in a political move to advance his position among the nobility while the public was made to believe the lies made to tarnish the fallen agents' reputations.

Years after the incident, Sweetie could not forget the atrocities that Blueblood had committed and she felt an increasing desire to avenge her comrades.

Discord gives her that chance.

In exchange for participating in eight years of galactic wars, Sweetie will gain the means necessary to right the wrongs that Blueblood has committed.

Lyra will be there to support her every step of the way.

This story will cover Starcraft 1, Brood War, and all 3 campaigns of 2.

War has come to Equestria.  The defenders have risen- and been beaten.  The Elements are in disarray, the Royal Guard needs to regroup.  The Princesses have been unable to stop the enemy- and Discord becomes the first major casualty.  After a valiant fight, just before his death, he launches the last of his power not at the enemy, nor to his friends, but into the multiverse.  This spell has one mission:  Find hope, and bring it back.  Little does he know that the barrier his spell brought back in his last few seconds is much more than just a sturdy mountain of metal.

This is an action story, and as such, isn't very long- I apologize for that. If you're looking for something with more nuanced behaviors and less annihilation, try one of my other stories. I've got a lot of 'em.

.........Um, hello, my name is Doctor Daniel Phillips, and I am the lead scientist overseeing the Gateway Project, one of the most cutting-edge technologies in existence today. With it, we can open wormholes to worlds far beyond the reach of conventional space travel, and even into other dimensions if we can work out the right frequency. As of late we have discovered over a dozen habitable worlds that have been slated for colonization, but as of yet no signs of intelligent life. Yet I hold out hope that one day we might find such a world, however remote, and put our best foot forward in opening relations with our new galactic neighbors. Yet not all of the planets we find are poppies and roses, so instead of sending in humans to explore them, we have these little babies.

Oh, right, you can't see me because this is an audio-only feed. My mistake. Well, I guess I'll just have to explain it to you. These cybernetic wolves, known in our group as the Mech Hounds, are outfitted with the most advanced computers in the world, along with some of the most cutting-edge robotics and weapons money can buy. Now right at the moment we only have a dozen of these little critters, but don't let that fool you. Each of these little babies carries enough firepower to level a small town, although it would take them a couple days to do so if they were working alone. They also have the programing to work out almost any situation in a matter of seconds, although they still have many of the logic problems that most computers face when confronted with something that does not fit within the established parameters of their programming. Yet, regardless of their possible shortcomings, they do the heavy lifting upon initial exploration where humans cannot, dealing with threats as they see fit in order to assess the habitability of a planet for human use. I could tell you more, but that would be breaking protocol.

So, without further ado, I'll turn you over to our logistics specialist, who will be happy to tell you all about how these little babies are going to change the world, or rather, worlds, that humanity has come to call home.................

This is a story that delves into the boundary between life and machine, where AI is something that has only been dreamed of, even with the most advanced computers available. Then again, these machines have never encountered magic before, so who knows what might happen. I guess you'll just have to read the book to find out for yourself.
