Spike now harnesses the bloodstone scepter making him the ruler of all dragon kind. Of course he hands it off as part of an important lesson on friendship, right? Naw. He immediately goes mad with power.

An outbreak of a deadly form of cutie pox has devastated Equestria. With the Royal Sisters infected and placed in permanent quarantine, the land has fallen into anarchy and chaos. In response to the devastation, Princess Celestia activates the Strategic Homeland Division, a secret government agency dedicated to preserving the continuity of government in the face of the apocalypse.

As a Division Agent, Shining Armor is deployed to the city of Manehattan, where the outbreak began. With few resources and even fewer allies, Shining Armor must fight to take the city back from the anarchic factions that run wild in the streets, as well as discover the origins of the deadly Green Pox.

A crossover with Tom Clancy's The Division. Preread & edited by Fyreside and totallynotabrony. Cover art by totallynotabrony.

When Spike decided that he was a special kind of dragon, he hadn't meant it literally. Now with a mysterious voice in his head, a growth spurt, and his friends, he's going to learn his own lessons about friendship, love, and the very essence of the world around him as he becomes the dragon he was always destined to become.

Don't expect quality from this fic.

Being a creator means creating your own world, where you pour your love and heart into it.

In a stormy night, after a strange event in her office, Lauren Faust gets teleported into the magical land of Equestria. The land... that she created. What will she do now? How will she return to the reality from her own imagination? Will she even be willing to leave?

Sometimes we all need a little boost. Sometimes we need a shoulder to cry on, a friend to hug. A pony writes to his best friend hoping to do just that, hoping that one day he will look back on the problems he has overcome and say, "I did that, and I will do it again."

This is the story of how Spike got his wings, and became Sweetie Belle's brother-in-law. :) The story is enveloped within another tale of Spike's great-grandson, Uvarovite, and his special somepony, Dusty Amber, coming for a visit, many years later.

Most days are ordinary until we make them special.

Big Macintosh is a stallion of few words, but that doesn't mean he's slow or uneducated. Unknown to any outside the Apple family, he's a wiz at math and finds himself smitten with the one pony who could share his love for numbers, and who just so happens to be the personal student of Princess Celestia; Twilight Sparkle. With a "gentle" nudge from his persistent sister, Big Mac manages a date with the purple unicorn, but a relationship might turn out to be more work than either one bargained for.

Zecora, the zebra shamaness has lived in the Everfree Forest for some time, but has never gone beyond except for the sake of finding roots and herbs for her potions that her woods cannot supply. But upon making friends with young Apple Bloom and later Twilight and her companions, she has taken it upon herself to travel beyond for a time. Stopping at Sweet Apple Acres for a minute to speak with Applejack, she catches the eye of Macintosh. The stallion falls for Zecora at first sight and then does something very poorly thought out to prove himself to her...

The challenge? Daunting. The reward? Worthy. Failure? Not an option. For Big Macintosh has accepted the bet, and thus begins A Ballad of Eeyup and Nope - in which he isn't allowed to say either.
