When Twilight was young, she used to sit on the balcony and look down at the statues in the royal garden. At the strange creatures of fur and armour and feathers and horns, and just...wonder on them.
And out of all of them, out of the unique draconequus and the rare Cyclops and the terrifying Invention Monkey, one particular statue always caught her eye.
Four...blocky, for lack of a better word, knights. Frozen in perfect formation, their heads hidden deep within the confines of their helmets. Each one stuck in the same pose, for as long as she'd known them.
And beneath them, engraved into the stone they were a part of, was a simple message.
"Wake us when something fun happens or Celestia stops being a bitch, whichever comes first."

Now with tropes page, all thanks to Eyeshield. Good work, buddy.

Private travels to Manehatten once again to answer the call of his Uncle Lazarus. An ancient family heirloom has been stolen by a mysterious thief. Joining Private this time is his cousin Cross. The young colt idolizes the detective and wants to tag along on this case. But Cross seems to be hiding something that Private can't put his hoof on. That isn't the only thing that's being hidden. For the heirloom appears to be connected to a local community of Zebra that have moved in the last few months. That and a new zebra detective by the name of Seeker is also looking for the heirloom for his own personal reasons. Can Private find the heirloom before something terrible happens? Just how much is this side of Private's family hiding?

Rainbow Dash hasn't hung out with Pinkie Pie for days and the pink pony is getting worried, not to mention desperate. When she hears that the Cutie Mark Crusaders used a potion to get Big Mac and Cheerilee closer together, she decides to use it on Rainbow Dash.

Nothing can go wrong… right? 

My first finished story.

Thanks to LastBrunnenG, GeodesicDragon , and Chengar Qordath for proof reading and editing!

This story is being put back up for archiving purposes. It was once featured, thrice rewritten, and abandoned. I don't even remember what was original draft and what was rewrite. I just think it'd be a shame to leave it.

I've also added some of the "in progress" rewrites that were planned but never published/completed.

Maybe one day I'll complete this.

Train wrecks and stereotypes. The city of Manehattan remains divided, even after the Elements of Harmony brought the world back together. Ponies of all sorts squander the resources and scraps left to them, trapped far from the beautiful light above; unwanted and sickeningly poor. Streets are cramped and flooded whilst chemical mists linger throughout. This city wasn't designed for them, it is merely the knife-edge of a crumbling empire. Caught in a train hijacking gone wrong, and on the wrong side of the law, Awry finds himself in a delicate balance of power.

The question is simple. All in... or fold?

This story is a sequel to Geoverse Part Five: Prisoner of Love

Twilight Sparkle and Geo have been together for a while now, and they think they've been through everything. But it would seem that, once again, Fate has other ideas. Now everything from evil kings to lords of chaos (as well as everything else in between) will require their attention.

Just another day at the office, then.

Writing is the latest trend in Equestria. It seems like everypony is trying their hoof at it, even the mane 6. Due to the large number of novice writers, bad writing is cropping up everywhere. Seeing the need, a group of elite writers and editors formed a review group. Its goal: Training the writers of Equestria. Calling themselves the T.W.E. for short, they seek out bad writing in all it's forms, and train the novice writers, one review at a time. The mane six will all have to take the criticism, but they don't have to take it well. Will they be able to get past it and keep writing, or will Ponyville be destroyed by their bad reactions?

Vinyl Scratch feels stuck in her life. She has the fame and the luxuries that other ponies can only dream of but all she wants is friends. Can Vinyl learn the difference between the kind of friends that she wants and the kind of friends she needs? *Song Lyics referring to the chapter will be used at the beginning of each chapter, the name and artist of the song will be named at the end of the chapter in the author's note as well, Song suggestions are encouraged*

A lot of strange things are happening all over Equestria. Bodies are being stolen by a mysterious doctor who was also the one who worked on Private's mom. Upon capture he reveals that Sparrowheart's death was no tragic accident. Private's personal demons start to come out as this case appears to be connected to the Vice case that caused Private to leave in the first place. Will Private be able to save himself and Manehatten from a dark and evil threat? Or will he give in to the growing anger inside of him? Is Irenius really as innocent as he claims to be?

Chapters are based on the song "Sweet LA" By Miracle of Sound, the song that inspired this series in the first place.
