This story is a sequel to Sweet Apple Anthology

Far in the West, out in the frontier, Babs Seed and Apple Bloom have found an adventurous, satisfying life. Business at their bar is booming and supporting Sweet Apple Acres, ending Applejack's economic woes (for the time being). Babs has reunited with her father and the savior of her foalhood, Turner. North of no-pony's land, Citrus, Libra, and Braeburn are thriving in Appleloosa, though tensions between the locals and an influx of emigrants threaten to shatter peace in the tiny town.

Far in the East, in the belly of the beast, the once-glorious city of Manehatten has collapsed into a haze of unimaginable chaos and depravity at the hooves of its King. A King whose chessboard is rapidly expanding and whose Knights march to conquer and annex in the name of their Master.

When East and West clash at last, who will be left standing?

Third installment in the alternate universe timeline started by Tangled Roots. Preceded by Sweet Apple Anthology and beginning from the first story's Epilogue.

CURRENTLY UNDERGOING RECONSTRUCTION. PLEASE BE PATIENT AND ENJOY THE RESULTS.
Reconstruction? What?

Yes. I am remaking all chapters of this story... and even redoing the cover picture eventually.

(New Description)

How would you feel about having one of the ponies from MLP:FIM in your apartment?
How about six?

Many would probably feel like 18-going-on-19 year old Louis Anderson, post-high-school crappy temp job holding introvert, who so happens to have the fortune of a fantastic girlfriend who he's loyally stuck with for two long years.
Of course, she went off to college for med-school, and he has to earn his way into college classes. Tough break, bro. At least a long distance relationship can still be strong.

Of course, he's not even going to HAVE a job if the world needs saving...

HEY GUYS THIS ISMY FRST FIC SO PLZ B JENTL

Just kidding!

All I really ask is that you are constructive and/or polite in your comments. Do this, and everything will work out fine!

As far as time of story is concerned, this occurs just in the middle of season 3, right before "Games Ponies Play", but it obviously diverges from the cannon after that point.

And finally, yes, I drew the cover picture. You all may be impressed now. Follow the source to my deviantART page!

Orion wasn't always a pegasus... as a matter of fact, he wasn't even a pony. He was once a human, a Brony even. But one night while dreaming of life in Equestria, he accidentally makes a wish that Luna is all too happy to oblige. So what happens when you're lucky enough to be plucked from life on Earth to live as a pony in Equestria?
Well if you're Orion, you get mobbed by a party whirlwind named Pinkie, accidentally get genderswapped by a distracted friend, entertain a Goddess of the night at a sleepover, and get into situations with a certain red farmer that start rumors that you're both colt cuddlers...

and did we mention that that's just the first week?

Buckle in for a long ride, because the story doesn't end until things turn normal again, and as we all know, normal doesn't seem to exist in Ponyville.

contains feels, romance, adventure, comedy, and of course, a Human.... just don't tell Lyra...

EDIT- Story is on hiatus as of 12-23-2013 for editing and rewriting. So far, the expected date for the next update will be sometime in late January, early February.

[2nd-Person Fic starring you and Applejack]

With a history of theft and deception behind you, you make the best for yourself through possessions belonging to others. Or, rather, the possessions that once belonged to others. With no need for a steady line of work, you keep yourself afloat through your occupation as a master thief.

But when a heist goes awry, you're left at the mercy of a simple apple farmer...

Author's Note: Alrighty! Here's a new one!

Uh...I really don't know what to say here. Compared to Rejuvenate, I planned this one out WAY more, so hopefully you won't find it as sloppy.

Won't be incredibly saucy. At the most, I'm predicting this one to be about the [Tender] rating.

Enjoy, folks!

Pinkie Pie tells a reporter the story of how she left home at a young age to explore the world before she came to Ponyville. Will the story of her past have a positive impact on his future?

Author's Note: This is my first piece of fiction that I have written in a while, so it was has been pretty tough for me to write. Even after this story is complete, I hope to improve it. So please, if you don't like it or see something that you think is off, by all means tell me. I appreciate any kind of feedback, good or bad.

I am telling this story using dialogue, which is also something new to me. In any case, I hope you enjoy the story as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

The back story behind Rainbow Dashes filly life is a mystery, until somepony asks her about it. This fic was inspired by a picture I saw on google from searching, my little pony friendship is magic cute pics... I thought it would make a good story, so I took it into my own hooves.
