Princess Gloria, and her regent Acting-Prince Archibald Dawnfeather, have been sheltering the Ex-Princess Luna since her failed rebellion against the tyranny of Empress Daybreaker. They have received word that the Empress will be visiting them shortly, likely to demand the extradition of her sister. While the meeting may begin as they expected, neither of them will foresee what the Empress is really after...

A story taking place in the Equestria at War universe, and more specifically in the context of the submod Gloria Rising that I authored. No knowledge of either is needed to enjoy or understand the fic. This is my first fanfic, not counting the writings of my submod, and I hope this alternate take on one of my favorite paths for Gloria helps those of you who like the concept, but not late game Hoi4.

Since Twilight's coronation, things in Ponyville have gotten pretty boring. Things seemed to work themselves out. Monsters or villains aren't stirring up trouble each week, the school is in good hooves, and while everypony stayed busy there just seemed to be less to do now.

This makes for a very bored Rainbow Dash.

So when she spots Starlight Glimmer with an awesome sword going to some duel, there's nothing she can do but follow. Let's see how it turns out.

Was cursed with the idea by a hilarious segment from the podcast Kill James Bond. You too can be cursed with knowledge here!

Many thanks to MerchantofMisrata for putting up with me and proofreading this mess!

It is the morning of a bright summer day and a griffon is cooking breakfast in his quaint house out in the woods. Outside, he can hear the sweet singing of the small birds and the sounds of the forests as well as the faint humming of a griffoness waiting in the living room. But for him the loudest sound that day, among all, is the thumping of his own heart beating against his chest...

Yes, this has two endings. Takes place in the Equestria at War universe but prior knowledge isn't really required.

It has been two years since the Great War began. The relentless advance of the Changeling army, while not stopped, has slowed considerably. With the balance of the forces in a delicate equilibrium, Princess Twilight Sparkle is looking for an answer. A technology hitherto quite unimaginable. A technology that could potentially save millions of Pony lives, along with countless other creatures. And the price?

A single friendship.

This is an Equestria at War story, a mod for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron 4.

This is my very unofficial entry for the 2022 EaW write-off. Though I could only start it in the dying days of the contest and as such it was never feasible to make it in time, I still wanted to finish it. Taking things slowly seems to be a hallmark of the contest anyway :D

I must thank my Great friend Scribbly for editing my story. He is a great guy and deserves every bit of success he achieves.

In wartime Equestria, Burnt Toast runs his humble café, far far away from the war. One morning however, it comes into his shop with one of his regulars

My name is Rocky Climb, and like all my comrades, I am an Equestrian pegasus. I fly as part of the 3rd Squadron of Wonderbolts under the command of Captain Sharp Edge.

Prequel Sunset at War out now!

The Imperial Reich has fallen.

And with it, so has most of Griffonia into a chaotic collection of border disputes, revolutions and petty kings that all wish to commit the same mistakes the Grovers made.

Only a lone griffon, exiled a long way from home, can ever hope to bring true change to Griffonkind.

And maybe carve a new empire along the way...

Takes place in the Equestria at War mod for the game Hearts of Iron 4. Knowledge of said source is recommended albeit not necessary.
