After long years of being a slave in Zebrica (it's been a few months since they last played pirates), Captain Dinky has escaped her bonds (is free this weekend), and has returned to the sea with her loyal crew (Scootaloo, Twist, Featherweight, and Snails). But she does not come empty-hooved: she has part of the legendary map that leads to the fabled Lost Treasure of the pirate Espada Noche (which is apparently somewhere in town)! Now, Dinky and her band must battle rival pirates (Pipsqueak, Applebloom, Rumble, Snips, and Bee Bop), and the Royal Equestrian Navy (Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Alula, Sweetie Bell, and Firelock) in order to follow the map to the ultimate treasure!

When Luna gifts Twilight the town of Ponyville and its surrounding countryside as her demesne she's initially confused. Then, after double checking her dictionary, more than a little concerned.

All her friends are, legally, her possessions. The town that took her in is her plaything, if she so wishes. She has been given responsibility.

Can Twilight's vision for a modern renaissance outrun the harsh realities of the shadowy figures pulling strings behind the scenes, nobles jockeying for her attention, and an irritatingly metaphorical love triangle?

Special thanks to the insatiable Blue_Paladin42, the incorrigible Maskedferret, the intuitive Southpaw and the indestructible newbiedoodle for all their hard work, past, present and future.

[Complete] Celestia awakens to see an empty world, white sandstone stretching the horizon. She wanders the world as she builds it from her imagination, filling it with life, but as time passes, the world that she created begins to seem like little more than a lucid dream, conjured from the dust.

Twilight Sparkle was presumed to be dead. Destroyed without even a body to bury, the young victim of a deadly magical surge that claimed the lives of many others along side her. More than a decade later, reports of a violent murder by a pony bearing her name are brought to Celestia and Luna's attention. A trail of carnage leading directly towards Canterlot's doorstep, brought by a pony who strikes without mercy. As Twilight approaches, in service to an unknown master, the Alicorn Sisters desperately try to uncover what happened all those years ago.

[PENDING REWRITE]

A desolate wasteland, it used to be called Equestria. That was before the Event which changed everything. There are many stories within the new world, but we'll only focus on these two.
Just a day ago; Nox was a wingless pegasus, testing out a prototype device that could give him back the ability to fly. He leaped from the Galloping Gorge hoping his cousin's designs wouldn't kill him, instead he was blinded by a flash of light and ended up crashing into a snowbank. He was definitely nowhere near the Galloping Gorge anymore.
Aurora was a unicorn survivor from beyond the frozen north. In this desolate world, she had just one pony she loved, lost but not forgotten. Alone, she traveled the lands following their cold trail to find that pony who left her behind so long ago. Even she's not sure what she'll do when she finds them. But it's the most important thing to her, and she won't let anyone get in the way.
And finally, "who are you?" You might ask. I...well...you'll find out sooner or later. All you need to know, is that I'm the one telling the story here. A story of the last remnants of pony kind, at the end of this dying world.

Weekly, usually on a Tuesday

I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.

Many years after our favorite heroes' events, Equestria is raided by a surprise Changeling attack, this one much more organised and violent than the previous one. The Changelings are fought back and killed, right down to the last... But all that is left of Canterlot is a broken city that although it can be rebuilt, will never be the same. In honor of Princess Twilight, who died in battle, the two royal sisters decide to keep the moon up in the sky during the daytime, creating a cycle known as the Long Day.

30 years later, the rebuilt world of Equestria is mending. In a troubled but fairly functional and vastly evolved Canterlot, five young ponies who just want to have a bit of harmless fun are in for an evening that they will always remember...

Contains swearing, and the use of Celestia's name in vain.

The Rainboom happens as it should, and a few certain fillies earn their cutie marks because of it. Except little Pinkamena Diane Pie, who went inside before she could witness it. Thus, she never left the rock farm.

That meant she wasn't in Ponyville to throw that party that inspired a runaway colt named Cheese Sandwich.

However, the two end up meeting in adulthood, and the broke wanderer Cheese takes a job at the rock farm, and works alongside the grumpy Pinkamena and her family.

My take on an AU, created upon realizing that Cheese Sandwich was indirectly affected by the Sonic Rainboom. And in case you're wondering, the whole eternal night thing goes the same way as the show (except a different mare--whoever you imagine--wields the Element of Laughter).

What if Twilight Sparkle's letters to Princess Celestia started a religion?

This is the story of Brother White and Brother Scroll. One of them is an upstanding young unicorn eager to do whatever he can to make other ponies happy. The other is a shy little loner who's never had a real friend before. What do these two young stallions have in common? They are both members of the Fraternity of the Joyous Friends of Princess Celestia, an organization dedicated to teaching Equestria and the world about the magic of friendship. When Scroll and White are assigned to Earthquake Island, however, they find themselves in over their heads. Can the teachings of the Book of Friendship help them save an island run by a brutal warlord, wracked by war, poverty, and hatred?

When Twilight plays with magic beyond her control, she finds herself and Rainbow stuck in a strange, horrible world. When they find out what happened, will they be able to get home? Will they even want to?

A pair of sisters awaken to a Utopia among the stars, one eager to explore yet wary of the changes wrought both upon the world she once knew and within her own mind. The other intimidated by a world far larger than she could have ever imagined and eager to once again walk among the living.

They are known as Luna and Celestia and in this new Equestria they have been made redundant.

A woman who was once a pony known as Bitter Leaf, DCI to the city of Appleseed was found murdered in a back alley. Resurrected through the wonders of technology she is given the task of tracking down her killer. However strong evidence points to foreign espionage, important technology has been stolen and if it isn't recovered covertly then it could spark a conflict between two of the most powerful star faring civilizations in the galaxy.

The projected casualties are measured in the billions.
