The day the Princesses vanished was the last day of peace. Nopony was the same when the sun and the moon continued their way across the sky without the Princesses' magic. With that apparent lie exposed, Equestria was in shambles for weeks, months even.

Everything slowly took a turn for the worse, starting with the betrayal of the Element of Honesty. Nopony really knows what happened that day, except for the other Elements of Harmony. Equestria is shattered.

Five uneven pieces.

Equestria is divided. And it has been so for fifteen years.

We're just the many insignificant ones. This is our lives, stuck in Tartarus.

(The setting belongs to PoorYorickDA, who created this awesome thing that is Equestria Divided)

(This is a one-shot so far, done purely to promote what I believe is a well thought-out grimdark Equestria, but it might evolve into a bigger story someday)

In a time where the Royal sisters have vanished and the elements of harmony have turned on one another, six houses rise out of the ashes to vie for control. Now witness each one at their best.

Sequel to Sky Dreamer's Journal. Read it first or you'll be left guessing.

After joining House Whitegold months ago, Sky Dreamer's life took unexpected turns. On one side, he adopted a filly as his daughter, has enjoyed a life of luxury and is now working for Whitegold as a Nighthoof. However, such luxuries are not important to him, his friends are. Unfortunately, the war makes it really difficult for him to keep his friendships intact and a secret, especially from the manipulative leaders of Whitegold.

This story takes place in the Equestria Divided universe created by PoorYorick

Nighthooves under the service of House Whitegold found a diary in the aftermath of a Zebra and Everfree incursion against an Earthborn outpost near the southern edge of the Everfree Forest. While it was determined that the diary held little information of value to the House, the pony who discovered it found its contents interesting.

Said contents are detailed below.

Before the war, Sky Dreamer was just a young friendly pegasus. Now, the war affected him in a terrible way. All that he knew seemed to be lies, he became a slave and lost all he cared about because of the war.
Trying to get his life back, or at least one bit of it, he chooses to risk everything to find his place in the divided country, and writes the events of his life in a journal.
How far can a normal pegasus like him go in this war? How will the past come back to haunt him? How will he decide his fate when any choice will cost him dearly?

Edit: Sequel found here.

Set in the amazing Equestria Divided universe created by PoorYorick

There is a universe out there titled Equestria Divided. It is aptly named, as the Mane 6, the former Elements of Harmony, now wage war for total domination of Equestria. Battling for a world that has lost Celestia and Luna, each fights for what they believe is right, each will go to extremes. How and why this happened, is not completely known, but what is sure is that something needs to happen to stop this war, before everypony, every being, is destroyed by it.

That's where Pinkie Pie, from another universe, comes in. Brought by mysterious forces, the party pony is very suddenly imbedded in the middle of this war-torn world, and must learn to adjust to a violent life to survive, and thrive. She will have to endure to fighting with lethal force, and the shock that it entails,while partly deluding herself that she has somehow wound up in some complex game.

So what caused the splitting of Equestria Divided? What are the plans of the five Houses, and the mysterious Cult of Laughter? How can Pinkie Pie keep up with the war, the loss and pain, and having to keep her new friends (who are still technically her friends of old) safe? The only way to possibly do that, is to keep calm, party on, and carry a few badflank weapons for fending off evil forces. And they range from the trotting dead, to warmongering pegasi troops, to pyromaniac unicorns, to... Celestia knows what!

With what humor she can muster, to keep her pony self sane, she realizes this isn't going to be easy. But it must be done. So you're invited to watch as events unfold, in one big spectacle after another, as a warrior blossoms!

Equestria Divided: The Pink Samurai. She's here to fight Houses and the Cult, Pinkie Pie Samurai Style!

This is inspired by the incredibly creative PoorYorickDA on DeviantArt (Equestria Divided folder Here). Go check him out, read his journals, and tell him how awesome he is. I have his permission for writing this, and I hope he enjoys it as much as I enjoy writing it.

The artwork (a current work-in-progress) is done by the incredibly talented CuttieArtGirl on Deviant Art. Her work is amazing, detailed, darling, and I could go on about it. She is NOT a Pegasister, however, so please don't ask her about MLP, or request them. Still, go to her and tell her how awesome she is!

(Consider this story to be what would happen if we could make a game out of this and novelize it.)
