Some time before LittlePip's emergence, Dazzling "Dodo" Dusk, the only pegasus mare of Stable 96, driven with her lust for adventures, comes outside into snowy mountains of Northern Equestria where she meets Jester, a chaotic and joyful half-zebra mare. Together, they start their quest for ancient Equestrian history and mythology, when they suddenly have to confront a powerful fraction which seeks a great secret of the past to use in their own favor.

Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.

They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.

The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to stick more than a cupcake into the very eye of Detrot.

Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.

After a close shave, Rico Rodriguez the Agency's finest hell raising and country destabilizing agent finds himself in the magical land of Equestria. was it purely coincidental? or are there darker forces at play?

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic belongs to Hasbro and Just Cause belongs to Eidos Interactive

The Castle of the Sun and Moon is a monument to the unification of the two tribes of unicorns - the sun and moon raisers. After being pushed out of their fatherland by the Windigos, civilization have begun to appear in the Everfree - at the cost of the indigenous Elven race of Deers, who are said to have cursed the land by opening a portal to another sphere of existence known as Tartarus, where various creatures of all forms of magic and mutation are unleashed to remove the intruders of the forest. A particularly strange beast known as a Draconequus lurks among the gardens near the temple, complicating the otherwise simple life of a young Sun Raising monk - soon to grow and inherit the castle in place of her father and mother, alongside her sister Luna. Meanwhile, Luna's own upbringing is drastically changed due to her friendship with a young Jarl from Snowreach named Sombra, a land in the tundra that borders the home of the Windigo.

Through out this journey, we discover their life before they unlocked the strange Alicorn mutation and long before they reigned as princesses over the land. An epic retelling of the origins of Equestria's goddesses of the Sun and Moon with inspiration from Eastern European folklore and history. A tale of magic, political scandal and love in the most unlikely places. The two sisters are forced into a world of kings and magical tyrants, unknowing of their importance for the future of Equestria.

A "novelization" of sorts, of a long running role play with my dear friend Ravenpuff. Who also did the sketches that are in the cover photo. It starts out rather innocent, but do not shun away everything just yet - the story involves political conflict and in later chapters to come, the passion of lovers as they come of age. Discord and Celestia, as well as Luna and Sombra fans will rejoice!

" I thought we'd be in peace. Now here we are in a war that could of been inevitable from the start. No choice. All we can do is fight for Celestia and the Element's sake!~Twilight

The six known crystals that all shared Harmony was lost deep within the past. War between Humans and Equestrians raged on for ages fending to steal and protect the last element, till a treaty was proposed and ended the standoff. The peace lasted for years until countries began to secretly form an alliance and broke the treaty and attacked Equestria, threatening to take the last element known in this world. Equestria and the unimaginable amounts of humans are in all-out war, shall the six protectors of the Elements be able to bring enough resistance to the opposing race? Also, will they be able to stumble upon a human myth to bring in further reasoning of the incident?

THE FIRST ROM HEARTHWARMING It is the first Hearthwarming Eve since the original Band of Rom came to Equestria. Camping in a wayside, they decide to have a Hearthwarming celebration of their own. Helping an injured friend makes it a better celebration.

“Rarity Starshine,” The pretty unicorn replies in a voice that is as pretty as the rest of her. Starshine? Well, wasn't that just the most appropriate name ever? Also, has Pinkie mentioned yet how pretty she is?

Set in an AU where Raripie is canon because really it can't work any other way. It's easy on the romance though so don't let it put you off.
So, I was listening to Owl City and the song, 'Deer in the Headlights' came up and the first part inspired this.
I highly recommend listening to it.

And yes, this isn't the fic that I gave a sneak peak of. I'm still working on that one.

Cover Art was whipped up by me. If anybody feels like making a better one then by all means, go ahead. I'd love to have something with a bit of colour.

While cleaning the farm house's attic one day, Applejack comes across an old trunk full of maps, pieces of armor, even a sword. According to Granny Smith the trunk belonged to her ancestor, Apple Slice. She digs through the contents, eager to learn more about her ancestor and near the bottom she spots a worn leather bound book. It's pages tell the tale of a fantastic quest to reclaim a homeland, filled with monsters of all shapes, and perils of all sizes. A most unexpected journey indeed.

This is the story of how long ago, one unassuming normal in every way farm-mare came to shape the history of all Equestria. How two races divided by war and fear were united by a forbidden love, and the struggle of a Unicorn to unite Equestria against the coming night.

An adaptation of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit set into the world of My Little Pony, based on the movies directed by Peter Jackson, with changes made to do justice to the mlp mythos and canon. The races of middle earth translate as follows.

Hobbits and Men will be earth ponies and pegasi
Wizards shall be Unicorns
Elves will be Deer
Dwarves will be Diamond Dogs
Orcs will be Centaurs, and Goblins Gargoyles.
Dragons of course, will be Dragons.
