"Cutie Mark Crusaders Forever"

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. These three fillies have stuck together through thick and thin. Loyalty has been tested. Their bonds have been stressed, yet they have succeeded in their endeavors, together as friends.

On the horizon looms a great test for one of the crusaders as Sweetie Belle discovers the talents of one friend and the secrets of another. She will embark on her own journey. Through it, she will find her latent abilities. In her pursuit however, she may doom Equestria to an evil hoped long forgotten, not banished by Princess Luna or Princess Celestia.

Author's Note(s): This is the third piece in a long arc that involves the Cutie Mark Crusaders discovering their special abilities. In regards to My Melody, it was written for the National Writing Month exercises. It consists of several chapters with a final epilogue story.

Though it isn't required since details are given in this story, it is recommended to read or skim over An Apple's Journey, An Apple's Gift, and A Joke Too Far to get a full grasp/understanding of the ideas behind Apple Bloom and Scootaloo's "talents."

Son of Twilight Velvet and Night Light.
Little brother of Shining Armor.
Older brother of Twilight Sparkle.
Unknown creature of Canterlot, battling against society and his very being.

His life is an adventure. These are his first years.
-Celestia and Cadence are in it, but I can only pick 5 characters.
This is a story that is all about Time Skips until season 1 begins.

Three tales to append to the Hearth’s Warming Eve story telling of the further adventures of Commander Hurricane, Chancellor Puddinghead, and Princess Platinum; concerning politics, art, sport, and sticky puddings. The early days of Equestria involved some quarrelling and compromises as the three pony tribes learnt to work together and accept each others’ differences. But mostly, it was about having fun together.

Celestia wakes up in human form and at an insane asylum where similarities between the world she is in now and the world of Equestria cause her to wonder if Equestria even exists or if she simply made it up to escape her human life. Does she try to hold on to her memories of her Canterlot life or does she let them go and accept them as nothing more than stories? Who is she going to trust? Who is she anyway?

This is only the beginning...

“That’s not true, sis! Ah met a pony who never got her Cutie Mark! What if Ah’m like her? What if mine never comes?”

The one thing that keeps the Cutie Mark Crusaders going through failure after failure is the promise that someday, they will succeed. Someday they will find their passions in life. But when the Crusaders discover something that casts doubt on all those promises, what can keep them going?

Only someone who knows what it's like to not know yourself.

Commentary Blog (Spoilers)

This story is a sequel to The Chaotic Touch of Harmony

It has been nearly a year since ponies and Mions appeared on Earth with humanity being divided in how to deal with both. While the ponies in the newly formed town of Trinity work to establish themselves, the rest are scattered throughout the planet while trying to find their place in the world and the Cult of the Koridost is quietly ramping up their genocidal campaign against humanity.

Will Discord’s vision of humanity’s ruin come to pass? Or will his less than direct intervention allow the planet to see a brighter tomorrow?

It is highly recommended to read the first arc because this is a direct sequel and many plot elements may be confusing without previously established context.

Again, thanks go out to Quite Quiet for his editing work.

Excellent cover art by Tulip

A young man lost in the hilly embrace of a mountain sleeps the night away under a knot of tree roots. When he wakes he will find himself thrust into a strange new environment, the Everfree Forest. With only his pack and his experience as a Boy Scout to aid him, he must survive, make sense of his surroundings and with some luck, ultimately find his way home. What does one do after wandering beyond the edge of the map? And better yet...

What if you are not alone?

I have been reading fan fiction here for a while and wanted to give something back.
My first fiction ever so constructive criticism is welcome. Fair warning, it takes a while for me to write a chapter so expect gaps between updates.

[Hiatus notice: As of 10/1/2022 this fiction is on hiatus so I may focus on other projects and items, will resume at a later date.]

Rated teen for strong language

Awesome cover art by Carnelian. Seriously, the guy has major skills with how fast he drew this up.

and of course ALL CHARACTERS / REFERENCES BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. “MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC” IS OWNED BY HASBRO

NO PROFIT WAS MADE IN THE CREATION / DISTRIBUTION PLEASE DONT SUE ME OR ANY PARTY THAT DISTRIBUTES THIS WORK (unless they try to sell it, then by all means go nuts)

The world is ending unless Twilight can complete the tests that a new foe has gave to her. But will she come out the same as before?
