A lonely stallion makes a friend.

This fic took third place in the Cozy Glow group's second contest. As such, this story probably contains Cozy Glow. Let me check the character tags to confirm that...

Prompt: In Equestria, no creature mourned Cozy’s death, except one.

No one in Ponyville is certain why the strange bug-pony is at the market, nor why he is talking to the silversmith. Or well, the bug-pony isn't doing the talking. Which is the strangest part of all.

In the divided land of Equestria, six powers battle for dominance. One of which is the Earthborn, those who have declared the Celestial Regime, the old regime, a tyrannical lie. There are many who still believed in the powers of the sisters, and thus declared the seperatists, rebels and traitors. Maud Pie, the eldest of the Pie siblings, didn't care much of who is right, didn't care much of who is wrong. But she did care much of one thing. Vengeance to those who had bought death to her beloved sister, Pinkie Pie. . .

Trixie arrives in Ponyville for the third time. . . But she's much more different than the last time the Mane Six saw her. For a few things, she doesn't wear a cape and wears a different hat, she doesn't speak in the third person and she doesn't travel in a carriage anymore. She doesn't even call herself Trixie anymore!

One thousand years ago, the Princesses Celestia and Luna were blindsided by the return of the Masters of Equus. The cult of power-mad alicorns, thought to have been banished from Equestria forever, appeared in the middle of the Princesses' battle for supremacy, and caged them away. The rest of Equestria quickly fell to their might. Even the fearsome Discord was forced to his knees before them. All of Equestria was enslaved, and an era of misery began.

Now, one thousand years later, a lone unicorn mare has learned of a creature that might be able to overthrow the Masters. A creature immune to magic, overwhelming in size and strength, sealed away for centuries uncounted. A creature of ultimate evil: the Smooze.

Unfortunately for Starlight Glimmer, in trying to ensure the creature's obedience, she modified the summoning ritual a bit too far.

Because of her meddling, the soul of a recently-deceased human is pulled from Limbo, and given life, but not exactly a body. Now he has to help her save the world, or face obliteration.

Not much of a choice, is it?

Inspired by Pen Mightier and Bucking Nonsense, the legends who – to my knowledge – popularized the "human in villain's body becomes Equestria's savior" genre. May your inkwells never run dry.

Prince Blueblood, after hitting rock bottom meets a mare that spends a single night with him that helps him steer himself into a better life.

Major Overhaul from the original plot but same concept and better writing. (Hopefully)

Everypony knows alicorns are immortal, right?

Well...yes. From a certain point of view. Specifically, the secret to alicorns alicorn youth and vitality? Sex. And Luna? She hasn't had a proper partner in 1,000 years.

Everything that the King of the Crystal Empire has at last come true. All his enemies have been defeated, all nations have been conquered, governments overthrown, revolutions silenced, traitors executed, and all of Equinity is now in slavery.

Just as Emperor Sombra had dreamed of.

Yet, on that night of triumph where he becomes the very king of the world, a voice broke out into mad laughter. Curious, the Emperor has him arrested and brought to question as to why would he dare laugh at him.

A major thank you to Shadeol for proofreading this story.

The last thing Mane-iac could remember before being knocked out by the electric currents coursing through her body, though mostly her mane and coat was the sight of her now most hated enemies trotting away in victory. Before, they were of little concern to her, but with her plans utterly foiled, Mane-iac's new intentions turn to the six meddlesome mares and Hum-Drum, that single, scrawny little dragon of theirs. However, even he would need to be watched closely, especially after seeing what that twerp can do. The rest of the event played out in her mind as darkness, save for a few moments of alertness when she saw the familiar gates she'd been locked away behind so many times before.

The two guards who'd been carrying her could've sworn they heard the mad mare say, "It's... good to be home again..."
