"Just like in the stories, ponies keep their princesses in the tallest towers of the castle! I can't believe how dumb they are to tell everyone! First, I'll replace that princess getting married, then I'll... do cool stuff with the love I take, and then Equestria will be mine!"

Tanya Degurechaff gets tossed into Equestria and transformed into a Changeling Queen. It's a nice retirement from modern warfare as an aerial mage. Then Queen Chrysalis attacks and forces her out of retirement. Historians refer to this as 'a bit of an oopsie.'

Princess Celestia gets legit deaded by everyone's favorite bacon head.

Despite losing her voice due to a sore throat, Trixie has to go to school today. It shouldn’t affect her daily life much.

Huge thanks to PseudoBob Delightus for proofreading this fic!

Late one night, several months after the events of the Fall Formal, Sunset calls Rarity at a frankly unreasonable hour. Things go from there.

(This was originally a standalone one-off thing. The list of sequels is starting to get lengthy, so I decided to compile them all together as one thing for neatness's sake.)

The few.

The proud.

The only ones who were available at the time.

When the royal budget is blown, Luna needs to show that the disasters that have so drained Equestria's resources aren't going to continue. Reforming the Lunar Guard on a tight purse means that she doesn't necessarily get the ponies that she would have chosen, but how bad could it possibly be?

They're reckless, dangerous, they weren't even supposed to be here today, and they might well be Equestria's last hope.

(Featured and flattered!)

Endcap to "What About Discord?" Twilight confronts Discord as to his true motives for getting her friends to exclude her.

After defeating the evil unicorn Sparklelord by tossing him through a portal, Dr. McNinja enters the rift in time and space himself in hopes of finding another unicorn to be his new motorcycle. However, instead of going to Radical Land like he hoped, everyone's favorite ninja doctor ends up in a small little country known as Equestria. Unfortunately, Sparklelord is in Equestria as well, with intentions to wipe it and its inhabitants off the map. It’s up to Dr. McNinja, his sidekick Gordito, and the Elements of Harmony to save the day.

Twilight Sparkle is asked by Celestia to perform the most unusual of tasks. She must write 1000 words about... something. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Well... when you're a word-class neurotic egghead procrastinator, things might not be that simple.

Written for a... contest on this site. I can't quite remember which one, though. Could someone please remind me?

Princess Twilight Sparkle discovers a centuries-old mystery hidden in the Royal Archives. Her investigation leads through layer after layer of deception and misdirection, setting her hooves on a path that seems to be leading to a mysterious secret. Along the way, she learns that some friendships can be very, very strange.

Book 1 of the Alicorn Adventure series.

Do you see a dark tag? No, you don't. Not dark. Well, okay, there are a couple of dark-ish bits, but that's all. Not enough to warrant a tag. Speaking of tags, there really ought to be "Badass Twilight" and "Friendshipping" ones.

Sequels and side-stories (and more) can be found here Offprint and AO3, and a hardbound two-volume set of all that can be ordered from The Ministry of Image.

My editor for the first edition of this story was Gogito, and I can't thank him enough for all the hard work he did. My editor for the revised version was PresentPerfect, and he did a terrific job of getting the story into excellent shape.
