Once upon a time, there was a young unicorn who was scarred and battered by the cruel world until he was forced to retreat behind the walls of a solitary life as a bitter and spiteful creature. As he grew up, he remained a lonely recluse, with only his best friend for occasional companionship.

Until one day when he found something the world had treated even more callously and cruel than himself. She was a changeling, badly wounded and crushed until she hung onto life by a slender thread. The only chance she had for surviving her injuries was love, but that was no chance at all, for she was a monster in pony society.

And who could ever love a beast.

You are Anon, and you managed to marry your love, Princess Celestia. However, fate conspires against you, and you end up bound to her sister as well.

Now if only you knew more about Luna than her name.

Growing up, you always thought getting an eye-scar would be cool. Like it would be a symbol of your many victories in battle. Now that you have one, you realize that it's just a testament to your weakness. That you couldn't be stronger. That you failed.

Now you walk the streets of Ponyville alone. The ponies you once called your acquaintances shun you and pay you no mind. All except for one cross-eyed Pegasus who's blatantly unaware of your hell.

Perhaps she's the first in a long time you can call 'friend.'

Here’s a theme I think could work for the story. Got a better one? Let me know in the comments. Take Us Back by Alela Diane.

Hey, if you liked the story, you think you could add it to a group or two?

It has been one of the closest guarded secrets of Canterlot's royalty. Deep in a specially constructed dungeon, surrounded by warding spells and powerful magic barriers, exists an enigma. Within a cage that could only be described as something out of a nightmare, it waits and watches all of Equestria. A creature that cannot age, is immune to disease, does not thirst nor hunger, and resists all injury. But, it also holds secrets and knowledge that could safeguard the kingdom. Its powers are frightening, but it is civil enough for debate when patience permits.

Princess Celestia has sought counsel with the creature before, enduring it making deal after deal for its services. The Princess walks a fine line when dealing with it, knowing full well anything could give it an advantage despite its imprisonment. She has had to go back on her word in these dealings, and from this a deep animosity between them has been born. It is a necessary evil as she is convinced this is a being capable of untold evil far and above anything Equestria has ever dreamed of. So long as it remains within the confines of its cell, her kingdom is made safe. So much magic has been woven to ensure that, there is little chance of escape.

So long as the magic holds, there is no danger. So long as the cage remains strong, the nameless creature stays enthralled in his cavernous dwelling. If that were to change--if the magic failed--not even the wisest could say. But one thing is assured, it does not bode well for Equestria.

Sky's life hasn't been particularly... pleasant up until his high school years. Back-stabbing friends, lonely days spent sitting in his room, and painful love stories have combined to form the cause of Sky's ways. But meeting some new friends are sure to change his life, but will it be for the better? Will these six girls bring him the joy and happiness he hopes and dreams for? Or will they simply replay his past and cause him even greater pain than he has already suffered?

This is going to be the first book in a series I will be working on. I have decided that the series will consist of three parts: The Beginning, The Middle, and The End. Those names are up for debate and if anyone has any other ideas for names, I'm open to new ideas!

From one barren wasteland to another, less barren wasteland, an Australian Information Technology worker finds himself stuck in the snow with nowhere to go. Armed with nothing but a cheap tool set and a three metre Ethernet cable, he must find a way to survive his new location. At least it can't get any worse... right?

Oh of course it can, it's a HIE.

Warning: Contains Australian, Changelings (of course), snow, occasional IT speak, less-than-stellar HIE satire, and shoddy humour not fit for a backyard comedy club.

This story is a sequel to Skeletons in the Closet

After her harrowing encounter with a Skeleton, Celestia uses all her magic to summon a valiant hero to defend her.
However if you want to kill a Skeleton you have to be a Skeleton.

When her spell is completed she finds she hasn't just summoned any man, she has summoned Skeleton-Man.
Part man, part Skeleton, all hero.

The Human race is dead and gone, but their Skeletons live on in Celestia's closet.

A Romantic Story by Thorax

Jorge-052 gave everything for his species, his planet, and his squad. Or at least, he thought he did. He did not expect to survive the destruction of the super carrier. And he certainly did not expect to be dumped into a world of colorful talking ponies. The battle-hardened, bred-to-kill super soldier may find himself a little bit out of his comfort zone.

Special thanks to Jack Kellar and Arxsys for helping me make my story as good as I can possibly get it. Appreciate it you guys
