You've seen the elements of harmony in action, the six bearers being best friends, and the ponies that have been the focus of My Little Pony for a whole two seasons. But what do the ponies seen in the background do during the adventures of the mane six? Read here about six ponies with conflicting personalities as they try to become friends and go on amazing adventures.

It has been one year since the events of Shadows Watching and Princess Cadence has resumed her duties, while still overseeing the development of one Twilight Sparkle. However, shadows are again gathering in Equestria, this time in the city of Los Pegasus, and it's up to our heroine to set things right.
Undercover as a military cadet at the Hummingbird Flight School, she will unravel a plot that has been in the works for decades and discover some unexpected allies along the way, in this, the second of the trilogy of medium-rare comedy and well-done adventure.

Finding herself not doing so well in school, and put upon by her parents to get a job this coming summer, Miamore Cadenza, or "Cadence" to her friends, finds her life taking peculiar turns as she encounters a force she cannot quite understand.
Something powerful, something ancient, is stirring in Equestria once again, and Cadence finds her destiny inexorably tied to it, as events beyond her control conspire to shape her life in ways she is not prepared for. The first in a three-part epic series from the director of the now-defunct MLP:First Contact game, this story combines low comedy and high adventure in a way that will leave you glued to your screen.

It has been some time since the events of The Edge of Madness, and Princess Cadence has once again returned to her royal duties. On an otherwise unassuming night at the end of a long journey, an event that will serve as the catalyst for her long-awaited destiny will take place. At stake is everything: her home, her friends, Equestria, the universe itself.
The final part of its series, prepare for an epic tale reaching into the murky heart of the earth itself, revealing everything that has been in motion since the first atoms congealed together, in a peculiar mix of microwaved day-old comedy and fresh-cut adventure, grilled with cilantro.

It is over a hundred years after the events of Season 2. Equestria is in a desperate call for help due to a massive dragon invasion threatening to send the peaceful land into oblivion. Shadow Rush, a prodigy unicorn who is Celestia's personal student, makes an important discovery of a spell that is capable of taking control the minds of dangerous animals, known as: The Stare. The lack of information leads him and his zebra friend Zequus to travel to Ponyville, the town of origin of the spell, to learn more about its forgotten past. But the majority of the town's residents offers them little to no support with their quest, as they know The Stare holds a dark secret about its only user known to history and her attempts in mastering it's mysterious powers: the Elements of Kindness. The two scholars also hear the tale of The Weeping Filly, a local ghost story deeply feared by the inhabitants of the town, and they will soon discover that the stories behind those aren't so farfetched after all.

What is The Stare? What happened to it? What kind of powers does it hold? What is the Weeping Filly?

Some things should never be found an answer for, because there are affairs that no mortal mind can withstand.

Author's words: I wrote this fanfiction during the holidays after I had too much to drink, smoke and fell too much in thoughts, which was followed by me staring at the depicted image while listening to the End Of Days Score. After these combinations, it gave birth to this: The Stare, Malevolence of Evil. I hope you enjoy it and please share it if you enjoy, also give your critic on the story, I'm looking forward to see your reactions on my very first (official) fanfic.
Gesundheit!

Rated [Teen] for F. Violence & Strong Language.

It's been ten years since she's been crowned princess, and during that time she's been rather... busy. Among moments of solving friendship problems and saving Equestria multiple times, she has destroyed the covenant, saved the Mushroom Kingdom and its princess, destroyed all the colossi in the Forbidden Land by the order of a sealed god, escaped Black Mesa, and many more heroic deeds. Yes, Twilight Sparkle can call herself a video game master of many genres. However, she never once touched the aspects of virtual reality MMO’s. That is until she started playing Equestrian Earth. With a whole digital world before her, Twilight felt that her adventures in the MMO would be her greatest adventure yet.
However, this adventure may prove to be the most dangerous as a powerful entity and its legion of hackers have taken over the world. Twilight Sparkle must unite with her fellow gamer friends if she is to prevent herself from getting a game over not just in the virtual world, but the real world. Adventure awaits in a land filled with monsters, allies, quests, rivals, imagination, friendship, and magic.

This is Equestrian Earth, let the games begin.

This story is a sequel to The Cutters

Meet Star Bolt, a young pegasus who lost his memory after using an ability that was deemed legendary. As he grew up not only did he learn to control this ability, but it allowed him to join the Royal Guard and climb up the ranks to the position of Commander. However when war between the royal alicorn sisters casts Equestria into an eternal eclipse, he must take up his gift/curse and fight alongside his officers to not only defeat Princess Celestia in the name of the Nightmare Legion, but to find a way to bring back the Princess Luna that he knew, befriended and fell in love with. This story of love, regret, anger, war, and heartbreak is the path this Pegasus chose to travel, and even though it's viewed as a mistake by most, Commander Bolt will do whatever it takes and fight through any challeng to reach his goal, whatever it might be.

A young inventor named Tinker has her life turned around with the arrival of a mysterious mare in a crimson cloak and a tattoo in the shape of a draconequus that runs the length of her body. When their fates become intertwined, Tinker will travel through time and space with the pony once known as Twilight Sparkle and witness the nature of her universe and the ponies who inhabit it.
