Many ponies in the Equestrian Wasteland aren't as lucky as Littlepip. Here's the story of a few of those ponies.
A gray earth pony in a gray world, Icarus Stone had never really felt all that special. That is, until his parents died. He goes on a quest to find his parents' killer and take revenge. Along the way, he learns some startling facts about himself and the ponies he that have raised him his entire life.

Adrian Parker is a man on a mission. After a strange purple pony from another world shows up at his house, he is determined to forget about it and return to a normal life. But the governments of the United States and the alien kingdom of Equestria have other plans. Will Adrian escape his destiny? Will the Americans convince him to serve his country? Will the Equestrians teach him the magic of friendship? No to all three, but it'll be fun to watch them try.

UPDATE: No new chapter this week. Something, something, writer's block, something. Sorry, everypony. :-(

Ever noticed how almost nopony knows how to properly discern between tracks and favorites?

Critical acclaims:

guardy:

Holy shit this is meta.....so very meta....

Tracked!

Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.

The star system Omega Centauri was just another oddity on a map to scientists in the not too distant future. However when they found the star was orbiting an earth-sized, earth-like planet instead of a black hole as its motion had suggested, a mission was scrambled to investigate this most unusual of celestial behaviors.

Hamstrung by politics, and nearly crippled before it began, the 'Lone Ranger' mission was reduced to just one crew member and left to his own devices.

These are the logs of Arrow 18 and its lone commander. This information is classified TOP SECRET by the Global Space Agency.

Do NOT tell the princess.

Called to Canterlot in the dead of night, Twilight finds that she has been tasked with the construction of a large-scale magical weapon. After being whisked away to Manehattan, Twilight reluctantly works with her fellow scientists Shock Core and Control Freak, despite her misgivings about the morality of the whole enterprise. And then there's totally a conspiracy theory. And Rainbow Dash is totally gonna drop the bomb.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Mane 6 go through their own unique experiences in the Fourth Great Equestrian War: Applejack and Rainbow Dash in combat, Fluttershy and Rarity behind the scenes, and Pinkie Pie behind enemy lines, using her reality warping powers to be awesome. Don't worry, there won't be gore. There may or may not be wounds or a broken bone, but it won't go far enough to be "gore". At the very least, any bad stuff won't be described.

This fic has no real genre, honestly. It's going to have dark elements and comedic parts. Just take it at face value, I'm not trying to depress you (well, yet) and I'm not trying to make you fall out of your seat laughing. It's just going to be a fic that I hope will entertain you. Hence a "Slice of Life" tag. That's pretty neutral, and that's just what this is. A situation, and the characters live it out. That's a "Slice of Life", right? Maybe I'm totally wrong.

I do want to clarify that I know SQUAT, and I mean NADA, ZIP, ZERO about the actual science of atomic weaponry. I bet I butchered the terminology just by typing that sentence. Don't judge me, I'm just gonna stay vague about how the bomb works.

---------------------------------------------------

This IS my first fic, so please demolish it. It can only make it better.

Expect periodic updates about twice a week. It'll probably end up being once a week, but hey, I'm going to be positive here and nopony can stop me.

All credit for the cover image goes to Reina-Kitsune, you have my gratitude. Please don't sue me.

All the proper dues and respects to Hasbro and Lauren Faust. Hmmm. I felt like I should put this disclaimer but I don't really know if I need to. Well, better safe than sorry. Please don't sue me.

For those of you who read this far into the description: You rock! You've earned the Rainbow Dash seal of approval and two internets! Sorry for such a long description.

Shocking archeaologic finds throughout the world would turn Equestria upside down. Before Celestia, Nightmare Moon, before all of it, there was a great empire that was far beyond Equestria's own. And it left a massive legacy that would passed down as myths and legends, and the truth would only be rediscovered three thousand years later. It would prove strange habits, names of cities, languages, technology, engineering, everything Equestrian, unoriginal. But the ruling class of Equestria has banned any further research on the thousands of sites that could be traced to the myths. Only the truly daring and adventurous would dare break the law to find out if those ancient legends and creatures, in a time before ponies, were true. And Lyra Heartstrings believes in the ancients' existence, and embarks on a journey to prove it.
Cut me some slack bro, this is my first fanfic.
Teen for Foul Language
Canceled, I didn't like how I made it turn out and, if you can follow me here, my views of FiM changed and don't fit in with the story.
Plus, it's flat out hard to write a full fledged fanfiction when you are a struggling AP student.

I don't want to give anything away. It'll ruin the story. All I can say is it has a twist.

Nightmare Moon has won, and the world has been shrouded in eternal night. But hope still lives. The land of Equestria is currently divided between the armies of the usurper and those of the Dawn Militia. However, the greatest danger to the rebellion may not be the dreaded Mare of the Moon, but her lieutenant, Eclipse–formerly known as Twilight Sparkle.

Hope is the faith of the young. Losing everything she holds dear, Puppysmiles embarks on the adventure of her life to find her mother, her hopes of meeting her again driving her through the horrors of a world not of her making. Too bad the Wastelands doesn't care about hope.
