Twilight Sparkle still thinks Earth, and Humanity in general, can be classified in black and white. A visit to two different, but very similar Normandy war cemeteries might help.

She also hasn't gotten around to reading up on our history yet.

Or so Tucker, international reporter and the first human to come in contact with Equestria, thinks. Hopefully she won't hate his species by the end of this.

💩 and 😒 are accidentally transported into the My Little Pony app. Will they be trapped there forever, or will they make it back to the Messenger app in time for The Emoji Movie, in theaters July 28, 2017?

...I'm sorry lol

"War, war never changes. Even if the technologies used to fight the battles change, the basis of war and its objectives remain the same. No matter how far anyone goes to stop it for good, it will always come back, one way or another."

A loyal Conscript’s duty is to die for the Motherland, a convicted Flak trooper’s duty is to lay waste to enemy armor. But they are similar as they are merely the beginning of a regular Soviet armored column’s advance, and alas they serve nothing more than just cannon fodder, people swept away in the misery of the War of the Three Powers.

But two soldiers of these very roles beg to differ, as they awaken in post-apocalyptic Equestria, a world worse to wear than their own. Their purpose is unknown and with no clear objective in sight or mind, the only thing to do is to survive.

A special thank you to Kkat for creating the wide universe of Fallout Equestria.

I don't own Red Alert 3 as before, only those two characters that I have created for myself.

A gracious thank you to Ghostwriter95 for proofreading this.

You're drenched in sweat and ennui. She's fighting the enemy, and you're fighting depression. Stuck forever in a nowhere town, you try to rise above inertia, but you only end up feeling useless. You're always feeling that way.

"Feeling That Way"/"Anytime" are two popular Journey songs from their breakout album Infinity, often played back to back on the radio.

I have lived my entire life among the ice at the top of the world with my pod. I knew little of the world outside of the ways of We of the Sea, and as a filly, that suited me just fine. But one day, the steel whales came, and on their backs, they carried creatures not unlike myself, yet wholly different. For while I swam in the sea, they walked on the land and flew through the air. Yet they reminded me of my kind, so curious, so tragic, and so infinitely precious. Where they did not understand, they sought to learn with a foolish stubbornness. Where they wandered far from home, they extended their hooves in friendship.

Where they waged their wars, they fought with a violent savagery that was frightening to me.

As I held a dear friend close, the breath fleeing from his body, I only wanted to know one thing.

Why?

One night, the moon turns red and seemingly begins to cry. Luna refuses to explain what is going on but instead demands that Twilight Sparkle be sent to her instead.

Written in commemoration of the Challenger disaster.

Featured? Thank you. For remembering them.

Everyone knows that Russia is shifty at best and about as reliable as back alley surgery. I mean, that's been a given in our world since Ivan the Terrible was around. Unfortunately, the Princesses of Equestria haven't exactly learned this lesson, and have left themselves terribly open to a cyber attack launched by the Russian Federation.

But what exactly is Putin after?

Currently relevant, absurd pony political satire. Teen for hidden innuendos.
A number of links are provided in-story at relevant points. Be warned, a significant amount of political flaming (biased against everyone equally) within.

EDIT: Featured 1/2/17! Thanks so much!

You learn more by listening than by talking.

And you learn a lot more by listening to ponies.

"No one had told us victory was like this."

Equestria was a peaceful land, free of strife and violence. Then the war came and shattered that peace. Homes were destroyed, families were split in half, and thousands were killed.

A group of soldiers come to a small village to inspect the damage they have caused and ensure the village won't cause any more trouble.

What they find will change their minds forever...

Based on the poem Conquerors by Henry Treece. This was written as practice for capturing the melancholy atmosphere of war, for a collab I'm writing in.

Dramatic reading by Solar Pony.

After years of conflict and chaos, peace was finally obtained when the human race finally defeated the last of it's foreign opposition, and instigated a new world order like nothing seen before. The human government uses a "new" form of government to create a near perfect and utopian world. However, like any other form of government, there are always secrets lying beneath the façade of perfection, waiting to surface and reveal the truth...

Major thanks to Desolate, Faceless Protagonist, BWubz, and Galactic Raincloud for helping me edit and proofread this!

The Dark and Gore tags are for some Dark themes in the story, and [maybe] some minor descriptions of Gore later on in the story. This is a Teen rated story, so expect a lot of Teen and some Adult geared content.

(While I have rated it Teen, the story, since I'm striving for extreme realism, may or may not evolve into the Mature rating, if you, the reader, or me, the author, deem it Mature.)

As an author, I crave criticism so that I may better improve myself and my story, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would at least leave a comment as to why you chose to dislike my story. This is not to harass or insult you, it's just so that I can see what you don't like about the story, and see if I can improve it. Thank you for your constructive criticism and cooperation, I really appreciate it.

Artwork for the story was made by me.
