Not everybody comes home, and those that do can bring back more, or less than they had upon shipping off.

Sometimes, the words we hear hurt more than the stones and sticks that break our bones.

A collaboration with Midnight Dancer and myself. Mainly Midnight Dancer. Go love her. Give her your loves. All of them.

Inspired by this beautiful thing.

Love is most appreciated in the nights it keeps us awake.

Yuri is living his life in a secluded part of the Moscow metro. That is, until tragedy strikes a neighboring station and Yuri and his friends are forced to undertake a journey through the dangerous metro system.
In Equestria a lone changeling scout is starving in a cold forest and is getting desperate to find a new source of love to help her hive survive.
Friendship can be formed out of necessity. Morals can be bent in the name of survival.

Marcus 657 has always been different from his other Spartan brother and sisters. Most are broken at the core; no longer fully human in a sense. But is there still redemption for this Spartan? Can Marcus regain his humanity through old 'gifts' and new friends? And perhaps love in one of the oddest places?

In the long history of Equestria, the two royal sisters are an enigma. Why are Celestia and Luna on the Equestrian flag when they were not there during the founding? How did they come to rule over the nation? And what really caused Luna to become Nightmare Moon?

For a full understanding of this story, it is recommended that you read Paradise, to which this story is a spiritual sequel.

The tale of the Imprisoned Sister has been told and retold for centuries, but no Little Pony knows of it as it unfolded in realms far and above. What is the moon to do when her mother and guide loses her way?

They call them vagabonds. Rogues. Criminals, corrupted to their very core. They are perceived to be poison in peaceful society and rightly cast out. Scarce are these dark cases in the golden light of Equestria's civilized culture. However, not all ponies born with gifts of malice in their souls have the desire to use them for evil ends. These rare few who are condemned to exile simply for fear that they might one day break and embrace their grim talents, are given a choice by a princess wrought with compassion.

Forever apart from society at large, they live a secret, dangerous and disciplined life defending the country that doubted their hearts. Armed with forbidden technology and the love of their monarchs, they thrive with the freedom to embrace their true selves in service to an Equestria that will never know them.

Life in the city can be hard, especially in one filled with ponies that only care about themselves. For Aurora, a life of silence and minding her own business is how she thinks she would spend most of her life. When she meets with her friend's friends, she begins to think about how wrong she was, and how careful she should be when it comes to meeting others, because, as always, ponies aren't exactly what they seem to be.

A certain pony discovers the price of war in a moment that will stay with her forever.
