This story is a sequel to The God Empress of Ponykind

One thousand years ago, Luna, Warmistress of Equestria and sister of Empress Celestia, fell to the powers of Chaos and plunged Equestria into a brutal civil war. The Traitors were defeated, but not before Luna made the ultimate sacrifice and was sealed away in the Immaterium with only the soul of a slain Primarch to keep her company. For a millennium she has been locked away, waiting for a chance to return to her home and her sister.

Now, she has been freed from the Immaterium, and as she takes her first steps in a new Equestria, one ruled by the powers of Harmony, only one question remains:

Does Equestria still need the services of a Warmistress?

Nearly a decade ago, when the Equestrian Royal Army requested for armoured fighting vehicles to assist in the Canterlot-Badlands War, nopony expected something else to evolve from this.

This request brought peace to the nation, but also brought a new, ambitious kind of extreme sport. 'Competitive Armored Warfare' or simply known as 'Competitive Tanking', where mares and stallions slug it out for the glory of victory and the grand title of the Ruler Of The Battlefield. Only the bravest and skillful will survive. Mercy will be discouraged, rules will be ignored.

This year, the Mane Six decides to enlist in the King Of Steel Tournament. Registered as the Harmony Tankers, with the power of friendship and teamwork, they will propel themselves to victory.

That is, if they can get along first... After all, the best of friends may make the worst of teammates...

Have you heard of the saying “the brighter the light, the darker the shadows it casts”? The brightness of Equestria indeed casts very dark shadows; one in particular has been erased from history to stop it from spreading.

In this shadow, creatures with nothing to lose fight to the death for the ultimate prize: whatever they want.

Twisted Metal: Black crossover.

Over twenty years ago, the greatest scientific project in the world began its development. Sadly, it's creators were struck apart, leaving its care in the only remaining member of the development team. In secret and over the course of many years, this scientist labored, hoping to turn the world on its head.

Assuming, of course, the world isn't already turning on its head.

Tired of not getting the respect he deserves from his friends on the weather team, Thunderlane snaps and quits. After they try to get him back and fail, Thunderlane decides to leave Ponyville in the middle of the night. He moves to Cloudsdale, where a certain griffon catches his eye. Thunderlane changes his appearance and starts his new life, while his friends try to track him down in order to apologize.

This story is a sequel to The Irony of Applejack

Warning: this story is a sequel. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you read the prequel first before continuing!

Over half a year has passed since the changeling attack on Ponyville, and Applejack would like to think things have finally settled down. Much has changed for the young changeling, and all of Equestria in kind. The new district in Ponyville proves that, along with the town's many new residents.
But there is much the young queen does not yet know about being a changeling. Some things, she will learn, can be chosen, while others will be chosen for her. With new allies and enemies emerging all around her, Applejack must discover what it truly means to rule before the choice is taken from her forever, and the history of the changelings repeats itself, once again...

Tiger (H) is a very sad tank. Mediocre armor, a low-damage gun, and somewhat prone to fires, he is sick of the endless noobs who think he is an unstoppable killing machine from all of those History Channel episodes of World War II and then blame the tank for not owning everything.

He needs a vacation from the World of Tanks.

Preferably somewhere without a cap circle and spawn locations. Maybe a city not ravaged by war. But when an insane light tank decides to "help" Tiger, he ends up in a world much unlike his own, in a body he is also unfamiliar with.

He has no idea where here is, nor does he know a way to return.

Oh well. At least he doesn't have to worry about gas.

When Canterlot pays the price for one of Twilight Sparkle's greatest mistakes, hundreds of refugees from the ruined city are stranded in Ponyville. Can the princesses maintain order in the overcrowded town, or will the combination of clashing cultures, Discord's antics, the machinations of a criminal mastermind, and outrageously bad luck send it spiraling into chaos?

Princess. Alicorn. The pillar of all ponykind, against which so many ponies often judged themselves. Celestia hates having to constantly be these things, and it's past time for a break. Luna will watch over Equestria while her sister is gone, but taking a break from your duties and taking a break from how the world sees you are two very different matters. Enter Prominence, a quiet pony who nopony really pays much mind to. Perhaps because she doesn't exist.

Aided by this disguise, Celestia will find her peace and relaxation in the home of one of the few ponies who know Prominence's true identity: Princess Twilight Sparkle. But when Twilight begins to see Celestia as a pony, and not a princess, can she deal with the feelings that arise? And are the feelings for Celestia, or for a pony she knows is not actually real?

EDIT: I've been featured, July 19th, 2014. I have no words to express how terrified and humbled and terrified and proud and happy and terrified this makes me.

After thousands of years of ruling over Equestria and the umpteen amount of changes in social structure over that time, Celestia and Luna discover that they do not understand their subjects as well as they used to. After all, it's been several millennia since they were like every other average pony.

However, that's about to change when an eavesdropping Discord comes up with a "brilliant" idea.

How will the lives of the two sisters change? Will the lives of their new personas "Color Craft" and "Lyrical Rhapsody" be better than their old ones? Will the friends they meet along the way be too good to leave? And most importantly, will Discord ever be pretty?! No, probably not.
