To you, second place is empowering, but to her, it has never been anything other than insulting. She's not one of the more well known ponies in the world, and her name has been discarded solely because she has never managed to completely shine and convince ponies of her feat before.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

It has been several months since the disappearance of Twilight Sparkle..

One night, after watching her sister raise the Moon and set the heavens alight, Princess Celestia begins to bed down for the night, only to be interrupted by portal forming in her room. From out of the portal comes none other than Twilight Sparkle, garbed in strange armor.

Princess Celestia, along with Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor, are overjoyed by the Element of Magic's return, but are justifiably curious as to where she had been and what she had been doing. And so, Twilight begins her tale. A tale of survival against impossible odds. A tale of a people fighting for the most basic right of all sentient beings. The right to exist.

This is a realistic view on how shipping would actually happen in the show. Almost every pony has been shipped with everypony else, but this is what would actually happen if two ponies ever attempted at a relationship.

...

No offense to any shippers, even though you shouldn't take any. If anypony would like to see any other shippings done on this fic, just leave a comment. Maybe I'll write it if I feel like it.

An acient evil returns to Equestria that threatens every living thing. It is up to all those who live in the land to defend against the upcoming threat. All hope lies on a single human to rally the inhabitants of the land to work together to defeat their common enemy. With the threat appearing any day will the hero and his freinds be able to gather enough allies?

The CMC go in search of the Spirit of the Desert after hearing about it from a visiting pony. Apple Bloom gets seperated from the others and is in serious trouble until she is rescued by the spirit itself.

[Second person narrative]
[You + Rainbow Dash/Fluttershy]

You're a fast-flying, teenage pegasus colt with dreams of glory! Having just transferred to a new boarding school in Cloudsdale, you're looking forward to meeting new friends, joining the wingball team, and finally hanging out with fellow pegasi. This year's going to be so awesome!

Except you're the only pegasus around without a cutie mark. And everyone already seems to think you're a total loser, before they've even met you. And your only friend can hardly stand up for herself, much less you. And you're convinced a certain rainbow-maned mare is out to ruin your life. Yep, awesome.

This is the story of your high school days at Wingbury Academy.

Pony Joe has decided to leave the hectic life of Canterlot and open another diner in Ponyville. When Twilight hears about this she couldn't be more ecstatic to have such an old friend come to town, maybe something more.

This story takes place during the end of my other fic Stray Ardor and continues from there.

Also I don't get why there's no Pony Joe character listening he's actually had more lines than most background characters and he has a real name.

A border exists from a result of a uneasy truce between humans and pony kind in Equestria. Over 100 years have nearly completely cut of the cultures of the two. Dr. Moss, who studies humans from history and what he can glean from the border, is threatened to have his funding removed to teach his subject at Canterlot university because of the lack of interest. He resolves to make a dangerous crossing into the human land to see what has changed since the war.

( OC x Twilight ) A poor earth pony stops Twilight from jumping down a cliff one day.

A small tryout on a different writing style.

In the midst of a war between Russia and the U.S., a Navy F/A-18E pilot is shot down over enemy skies. What the pilot discovers is a land entirely unseen before by human eyes. As he slowly copes to it's inhabitants, he will also begin to learn about the realities of war, and the true meaning of home.

This is my first fanfic, so constructive criticism is welcome. Also, If anyone wishes to make a good cover art or suggest something good, then I will make sure to promote the artist and the person who gives the suggestion. Enjoy!
