This story is a sequel to Entrenchment

The 38th Company brought many strange and novel things to Equestria.
Technology beyond Canterlot's wildest fantasies. Horrors beyond its bloodiest nightmares.
War, strife, blight, and the dominion of monstrous gods long hidden from the eyes of Equestria's innocent populace.

But the planet known as Centaur III knew the touch of dark magics and evil cults long before the Iron Warriors took their first step upon its soil and constructed their blasphemous idols.
The plot to plunge the world into darkness left many wounds and ancient grudges to fester.
The story of the thestrals, the bat-winged soldiers of the Lunar Guard, is one of misery, bitterness, and betrayal. Their history is little more than desperate quests for power and anticlimactic failures, all mere footnotes now as the survivors quietly return to service under their humbled, purified Princess.

Alas, some scars do not heal.
You reap what you sow.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If?: Volume 13

While we wait for the Gen 5 series to come out, let's take another look at Gen 4 and some more material still yet to be touched. It's that time yet again! Time for that series which dares to ask and seeks to answer that fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

This time around, thirteen episodes are being rewritten here. This includes the last two episode of Season 3, making it the first season to be fully rewritten in this series. In addition, we're going all the way back to the pilot with a rewrite of the first two episodes. And we've also got redos of two Season 6 episodes, one of which is based on information made public from leaks. And those are just some of the episodes on tap this time.

The exact same disclaimer from all volumes prior applies, the episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't on this list. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.

Of course it goes without saying by now but I obviously mean no disrespect of any sort to Hasbro, the DHX writing and editing staff, or anyone who likes the episodes that appear here. The intent of this fic, like all of its predecessors, is for entertainment purposes only.

As always, there are too many volumes now to link to every single one. So either check my homepage for the first volume and go from there, or use the also liked and similar pages to check for earlier volumes to see whether an episode has already been covered.

G5 may be well underway, but there's still lots of unexplored potential in G4 worth considering. It's here once again, that series which dares to ask and seeks to answer that fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

Twelve episodes are on tap for this volume, celebrating this series' tenth anniversary. Among the featured episodes includes a redo of a rewrite from Season 3, the rewriting of the final untouched episode of Season 8, a two parter, and even some bonus chapters.

It undoubtly goes without saying by now, but it's worth repeating all the same: The episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't on this list. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.

I obviously mean no disrespect of any sort to Hasbro, the DHX writing and editing staff, or anyone who likes the episodes that appear here. The intent of this fic, like all of its predecessors, is for entertainment purposes only and nothing more.

Given the high number of volumes in this series, linking to each one would be impossible without producing a lot of clutter. So check the prequel tab, and the also liked and the similar pages for previous volumes to see whether an episode has already been tackled.

With "Make Your Mark, Chapter 2" now on Netflix, it's time for another look back at G4 and a chance to see how things could've been different there. It's once again time for that series which dares to ask and seeks to answer that fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

Just ten episodes are on tap for this volume, but they include some redoes, as well as a reworking of a Season 8 episode due to previous rewrites. Episodes from Seasons 1-3, and 6-8 are being rewritten here.

Yet again, the same old disclaimer applies, the episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't on this list. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.

Just ten episodes are on tap this time around, but there's a variety of episodes from across the show that will be covered. We've got three two parters and four stand alone episodes. The first half covers episodes from Seasons 1-4 and the second half covers episodes from Seasons 7-9.

The ninth year of the show, eight whole seasons, seven main characters, six times in a row, five episodes from Season 8, four multi parters, three years of double releases, two volumes each, and one more release before the end of the show! It's that series which seeks to answer the fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

There's only ten episodes to cover this time around, five from Season 8 and five from other seasons. This includes a redo, and a rewrite of two two parters, and some episodes that have been on the backburner for a while. Some other episodes will also be getting a touch up, and one will even be getting an interesting retooling to fit a possible idea. But which one that is will only be answered if you read the releases.

The show may be over but the rewrites are far from done, after all there's a whole new season of episodes to work with! It's time once again for that series which seeks to answer the fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

Prepare yourselves for the biggest installment since Volume Four folks, we've got a whopping fifteen episodes that will be rewritten in this volume! There are five each in groups of three: The first covers episodes from Seasons 1 and 2, as well as Season 4. The second features five episodes across Seasons 5-8. And the third and final one involves five episodes of Season 9. And there will even be four bonus chapters, though you'll have to read the releases to find out which ones are it.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If?: Volume 7

Eight seasons of material, seven volumes that have come before it, six new characters to include, five times as much focus, four seasons of rewritten episodes, three non Season 8 episodes, two special characters to add, and one volume to hold them all! It's that series which seeks to answer the fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

There are fourteen episodes in this collection, three from Seasons 5-7 and the remaining eleven are all from Season 8. There will be quite a few personal rewrites of episodes I enjoyed or found good enough, but could've done more or done something differently. And there will of course be much more focus on the student six, giving them the screen time they were sorely lacking during Season 8's original run. There's also going to be one Season 8 episode expanded into a two parter, which means another episode will have to bumped off to make room. And some characters that were either absent from Season 8 before or appeared only in the background will get their chance to shine in this collection.

As always, the same disclaimer applies, the episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.

There's still a whole lot of untapped potential left to explore and so many episodes that still have yet to be touched! It's yet again time for that series which seeks to answer the fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

Twelve episodes are going to be redone this time around and in a most interesting way. We've got three stand alone episodes from Seasons 1 and 2, a two parter from Season 3, three more stand alone episodes from Season 8 and then four episodes from Season 9. One episode each from Season 8 and Season 9 will be a bonus chapter.

Just like always the exact same disclaimer applies, the episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.
