3/14/24 Still Alive Edition

There's only one pony in Ponyville that the Mane Six have never met. Pinkie Pie has never thrown him a party, Applejack has never sold him a mug of cider, and Twilight has never seen him check out any books. And as far as that unicorn, Lapis Print, is concerned, that's exactly how it should be.

Lapis can't risk them knowing where he lives, what he does for a living, or even what his name is - if he gets his way, the Mane Six won't even know he exists, and nopony in Ponyville will miss him once he's gone.

It should be a piece of cake - after all, it's not like the biggest magical power in Equestria is about making sure everypony looks out for each other, right?

(Rated Teen for language - mental cursing mostly.)

Before Twilight went to the human world to win her crown back, there was another student of Celestia to travel to Canterlot High School. Through all the trials, tribulations, and mistakes she made along the way, she never stopping fighting to find her place in the grand scheme of any universe.

This story is a sequel to A Second Chance

A lot has happened to Meteorite over the years since she was unceremoniously thrown into existence by her author. Even if she has spent a lot of that time trying to both stay out of the way and undermine said author...

Fictional retells the original story of Meteorite as she recalls her experiences to her now marefriend, Rarity. Her first days in the world of Equestria, her encounters with the other ponies around her, and her desires to ruin her author because she's clearly up to something nefarious because oh my god who even seriously writes self-inserts?!

Fictional was started back in 2011, but had been abandoned since. Eleven years later, I'm determined to finish it, even if I have to release it in parts at a time.

And as a sequel.
That's actually a prequel.
That's actually the original story.

It was all about the process. Without a focus in her life now that Twilight is the single ruler of Equestria, Luna decides to apply for her dream job.

A mailmare. The best mailmare in all of Equestria. Or at least the Greater Canterlot Mail District. This would be a fantastic learning experience.

In the depths of space, a young bat pony by the name of Star Dancer is found by the crew of the Kestrel during a mission of great importance.

A crossover with the game FTL. Ponies in space are always fun, right? And while there will be humans, they are far from the only race that will be appearing.

This story is a sequel to Gloria Celestia

A rumor here, a scandal there, and a peppering of negative publicity can easily provide all the ammunition necessary to take down some of the most powerful players of the Canterlot nobility. But when one party foul too far turns the entirety of the upper class against DJ Pon-3, Upper Crust leads an unrelenting blitz against her, and Vinyl Scratch's world begins to crumble all around her.

Unwilling to let an accident ruin the DJ's reputation on the callous whims of Canterlot's elite, Fancy Pants decides to make a risky investment into counter-culture and help Vinyl get back on her hooves. However, it's going to take more than the prestige of the Kingmaker of Canterlot to get this record spinning again, especially when real royal matters start spiraling out of control.

Lemon Zest is pretty lucky for a pony who just got fried to death, as she scores the one in ten thousand chance a pony has at becoming a ghost. Knowing nothing about how to survive the afterlife, Zest seeks out the guidance of a far older and more experienced specter named Sugarcoat. Fittingly finding herself haunting an abandoned schoolhouse, Lemon Zest will need to learn the basics if she ever wants to be a pro-ghost.
Of course, tuition isn't entirely free, and Sugarcoat will expect Lemon Zest to help her recruit more ghosts to the lonely Shadowbolt Academy.

More stories set in this AU can be found here.

There’s no end to the monsters that lurk in the dark.

Ghosts, werewolves, mad scientists, cultists, mutants, zombies, vampires, aliens and more lie in wait in the dark corners of Equestria, terrorizing the night. But the most infamous and dangerous of them all is the legendary witch Twilight Sparkle, with a five hundred million bit bounty on her head.

Seeking fame and fortune, Rainbow Dash sets out to defeat the legendary witch and collect the massive reward. The one thing she wasn't counting on was Twilight being less evil than she expected.

Applejack. Honest, hard working and true. Friendly to everypony and always willing to lend a hoof to those in need. This was the pony that the denizens of Ponyville knew so well. Who they trusted and relied upon. Who's stall they visit in the market, and who's family founded the town itself.

Hers has been a story of tragedy, grief and renewal.

That is the part of the story everypony knows. There is more to her tale, though. A dark secret she harbors from all but a few. A secret which could endanger her family, friends and everypony in Ponyville. . . .

Welcome everyone, to a story that popped into my head randomly while I was in the midst of a rant to myself! Inspired partially by stories like TDR's Twilight Gets a Puppy and Mister Friendly's The Irony of Applejack, this is my own take on the "Rewrite of the series, with a twist" story.

Here's hoping you all like it!
