Twilight thought it was going to be a normal day at work in the Canterlot Castle, usual as they go... Little did she know... She was "dead" wrong.

This is the story of the two waring countries, the New Lunar Republic and the Solar Empire. We find ourselves listening to the war Veteran Twilight Sparkle as she tells of the real horrors of war and her friends that lived through it. During this war the mane six (and two other surprise characters) find themselves fighting for their lives as the bloody war between the two countries escalates. The mane six and their countries leader celestia realize that if they dont win this war against the republic this will mean the end of them and their country from the advancing republic military force.

(Please comment negative or positve, i am also open for any improvements so please alert me if the story is to biased or of grammar issues) :)

On behalf of the Canterlot University of Electrical Engineering, Princess Celestia sends her star pupil a mysterious contraption she wants her to take for "beta testing".

A mysterious, new invention dubbed the "Xbox 360".

Shenanigans and hilarity will ensue.

Depression strikes, and all of Ponyville suffer the anxiety, panic attacks and meer senses of hopelessness of our favourite pony, Rainbow Dash. Will she be able to clear the skies in ten seconds flat anymore? Will she be able to clear them AT ALL?

Will...will the most awesome pegasus in Equestria turn out to be a total nothing?

Twilight never cared much for romance, but after falling for Rainbow Dash, she's ready to make her move. But what happens if those feelings are unrequited? Should she hold onto hope? Is it even possible to let go and move on?

I've read a bunch of shipfics that are all happy resolutions after the confession so I wanted to try an alternative. So here is a slightly darker TwiDash fic because I am a terrible person who must make ponies suffer. Oh God Why?!
