Outcasts. That's all some ponies will ever be. Whether you're a traitor to your country, orphaned and raised by a dragon, abandoned by your parents, or objectified by your status rather than your personality, sometimes society just doesn't want you in it. And sometimes society is being killed off by the thousands, so you have to save their lives anyway. Such is the life for the heroes of this story.

Rainbow Dash is one such hero. She along with her friends, her teacher, and a mysterious mercenary, must go on a quest to ensure that the one person who can rid the world of evil (the chosen one, Pinkie Pie) can do so. The Shadowbolts ravage cities and kidnap people, forcing them to work in the Rainbow Factories, and are relentless. Bloodthirsty. Brutally efficient. And they publicly execute all who dare oppose them. Luckily with the knowledge of the young scholar Twilight Sparkle, the strength of the enigmatic crystal knight Spitfire, the raw magical abilities of the child prodigy Starlight Glimmer, and the assistance of the divine alicorns, this small ragtag group just may have a chance to bring harmony back to the world... if the Shadowbolts, monsters, or a particularly shy (and surprisingly polite) assassin and her pet rabbit don't kill them first.

A remake of the story Tales of Sym-pony-a on my old account, A Cubed. This story too is based on events in the anime, manga, and video game Tales of Symphonia, but is standalone and requires no prior knowledge outside of MLP to understand, with some significant deviations from the plot. All pony characters are anthropomorphic with hands and hooves for the sake of holding swords and making it easier for me to write. The first part in a trilogy. Rated T for violence, mild naughty words, and some mild sexually suggestive content.

Rarity orders a collection of gems from the crystal empire to give her new designs that little bit extra. Included in the shipment is a magnificent ruby that is far more than what it seems. After the gem reveals that it has inherent magical properties, Rarity and the rest of the Elements of Harmony are pulled into an adventure complete with living mannequins, the Mirror Pool, life and death struggles in the Crystal Empire, and a budding romance between two of the most unlikely of ponies.

A high fantasy reimagining of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Long ago, the cruel God of Chaos Discord ruled over the world. The other Gods overthrew him and Sealed him in the deepest Hell of the prison Tartarus, then waged war for his empty throne. The Goddess of the Sun Celestia emerged victorious, then Sealed six more Dark Gods in six more Hells of Tartarus. The remaining Gods ruled over the world’s lands under Celestia, and as High Princess her reign brought an age of peace.

A thousand years after Celestia’s defeat of Nightmare Moon, the Goddess of the Night, the mortal peoples hold the festival of the Summer Sun Celebration to commemorate her victory. However, on the eve of the Celebration a mysterious organization releases Nightmare Moon from her prison. In response, Celestia tasks her young apprentice, the sorceress Twilight Sparkle, with preventing the unsealing of any more Dark Gods. With the aid of her own apprentice and her five strange new friends, Twilight begins her mission to put an end to the return of the seven Sealed Gods- especially Discord, the dreaded Lord of Chaos.

Co-written with Day Breaking Sun. See the former cover art provided by my wonderful and talented friend, SpookyPrincesssa, here: MLP Friend is Magic Human Request.

Princess Celestia has trained her three apprentices, Sunset, Trixie and Twilight, to become the newest generation of the Knights of the Realm, protectors of Equestria. Their abilities and morals are unquestionable, and they're also perfectly willing to become the heroes Equestria needs. However, something had to give, and in the process of turning them into the future Legendary Heroes, those three ended up becoming particularly eccentric in their methods and quirks. This is the start of a very silly era of heroes.

October 2019 Edit: The story's rating has been changed from E to T.

It's Twilight Sparkle's first week at Canterlot High School after the Friendship Games—after she unleashed the magic and turned into a monster. Sure, Twilight has Sunset Shimmer and her friends, but the rest of the school has not forgotten, and many have not forgiven.

Half a state away in Los Santos, the once powerful criminal organization known only as the Fake AH Crew is near the end of its rope. Geoff the Boss is in prison, and his gang is losing territory. But the Fake AH Crew have one last play to make: If they can spring their boss, they may have a chance to reclaim everything they lost.

But when fate brings the Fake AH Crew to the small town of Canterlot, everything begins to unravel. A web of plots ensnares the little community, turning it into a powder keg waiting to explode. At the center of it all is Twilight, hoping to prove to her friends and to herself that she's not a monster... even if it means facing very real ones.

Sunset Shimmer, twice savior of Canterlot High who earned her wings by using the combined magic of the Earth elements of harmony to save the world from Twilight Sparkle (you know... the one with the glasses). She's offered to help Twilight's (you know.. the alicorn Princess of Friendship) new student learn about friendship while the whole crew embarks on a trip to the Crystal Empire. This should be a fairly relaxing and stress free trip. Right? RIGHT?!

It should go without saying, but MAJOR spoilers to the season 6 premier.

Twilight isn't having a very good day. An experimental spell blew up in her face, an army of changelings is attacking Canterlot, and she just died. Yet somehow, it looks like it's going to keep going downhill from here.

Given the chance to correct what's gone wrong, Twilight swears she's going to fix all this even if it kills her. Which it will. Frequently.

Wastelands. Dystopias. Playgrounds for megalomaniacal villains. Each time Starlight forced her into a new world, it was just another variation of Tartarus that she was glad to leave behind and forget about. Unfortunately, thanks to over thirty timeline jumps, Starswirl's spell has gotten worn and frayed, forcing her to stop in this latest world to repair it. Fortunately, things seem relatively peaceful. Unfortunately, Twilight soon finds out the reason for that peace is...complicated.
