Twilight Sparkle is a lot of things. She never expected to be both caretaker of a filly and ruler of a nation, but now she is, and she'll have to deal with it as best she can.

This is something I wrote a couple of months ago. I am no longer working on it and probably won't ever work on it again, but I am publishing it anyway and marking it as complete.

Important: this takes place in the Equestria At War universe. Equestria At War is a mod for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, be sure to check out their Discord and Reddit if you're not familiar with it. They also have a group on this site: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/212917/equestria-at-war

Cover art can be found here: https://derpibooru.org/images/1878535?q=artist%3Amrscroup

Rated Teen for mentions of sex, mentions of violence, profanity, and probably some things I'm forgetting.

Based on the Equestria at War universe.

In the year 1011 ALB, Queen Chrysalis declared war on Equestria. She and her High Command believed that the Equestrians would be easily crushed underneath the treads of their tanks and pushed back by their powerful changeling rifles. However, they were quickly proven wrong as their forces met the heavily fortified positions of the Equestrian military. After months of a painful stalemate, the High Command had a brilliant idea. They began deploying infiltrators into the Equestrian fortifications to weaken and surprise the defenders for the oncoming attackers.

One particular changeling was deployed to an Equestrian fortification, weeks in advance. On the promised day, he sits in a trench, waiting for the arrival of his brothers and sisters. But, will they come? And what happens to the mare that he became friends with if they do come?

Now with reading by Fire Hearth Studios!

A team of unicorns can raise the sun...but Nightmare Moon will rush to strike them down.

How many ponies does it take to KEEP the sun up for an entire day, keep the crops growing, and keep hope alive?

And what will they do tomorrow?

If you are reading this story as an entry in The Fourth Annual Equestria at War Writing Contest:

• I came to the contest for this year's theme: "A normal being's point of view and life amidst global events." I wanted to write about creatures who are "a normal being (i.e. not a country leader or general) at any point in the world".
• The contest rules say: "The story should fit into the Equestria at War universe. (Don’t worry too much, we’re very lenient with this.)" Because this story is about ordinary ponies trying to resist Nightmare Moon in a time before Equestria was equipped with lots of firearms and mechanized war vehicles, I am looking forward to the "very lenient" part of the rules.
• The contest rules say "All submissions must be submitted to moderation before the deadline, and be in the 2021 Contest folder up to seven days after deadline at the latest." I am definitely submitting this story to the contest folder less than seven days before the deadline.

In the aftermath of the Changeling incursion of Canterlot during the marriage of Shining Armour and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Equestria gears itself for war against the Changeling menace. Against a foe that can take the shape of anypony, assume their life, and undermine Equestria from within, the Royal Pony Sisters create a new institution to monitor their Royal Guard for any Changeling corruption, cowardice, and incompetence: the Commissariat. As total war rages across the land one hero stands out above the rest; Commissar Blueblood, Hero of Equestria. Or at least that's what the propaganda says. The truth, as ever, is far more complex, as the esteemed Blueblood is merely looking for an easy and sedate life. Unfortunately, fate has a habit of throwing him into increasingly dangerous and suicidal missions, which he must survive with a combination of self-preservation, lying, and sheer blind luck, even if doing so only fuels his soaring reputation!

Equine military fiction in the style of Ciaphas Cain and Flashman.

(( ps: welcome guys this is my First Fanfic here in FimFiction! So any criticism in order to improve my writing skills are welcome! Though this Fanfic will be Log based Writing so they’re no dialogues or actions will happen to this Fanfic. Instead it will be a Log based Paragraph where a protagonist will describe what she saw and heard in her POV. Not anyone’s POV. So enjoy reading! And please be civil on Criticism.

Yanna Chitin, a Changeling Tank Commander Prodigy, writes her Diary about her experiences in the Great War and as well as during the Pax Chrysalia Era. She hopes that writing her experiences that she saw and heard, made sure that others Changeling tank commanders and officers won’t make a same mistakes as she made before.

As well as writing about her typical life as Panzer Leutnant and maybe a glimpse of her past? You just need to read her side of the story to experience what was like to be a soldier on the other side.

(( This Fanfic is around the Hoi4 mod called Equestria at war, you should other books based around this mod, it’s real fun To read!))

The changeling race has a long history, older than Equestria itself. When Twilight invites Thorax over to document the full history of the changelings, the story presented sends her down a dark rabbit hole. From this, she will learn the tragic origins of Queen Chrysalis, the creatures once known as faelings, and the war between the three pony tribes before the first Hearth's Warming.

In her darkest hour, how far will Chrysalis go to save her kind from the brink of death? And what will be the ultimate cost?

Rated T for moderate violence, death and gore. Inspired by the story of Arthas Menethil from the Warcraft Universe.

The changelings, years after the invasion of Canterlot, struck at Equestria once more, this time with a highly industrialised army - panzers crashed through Equestrian troops, technologically inferior, taking Acornage in very few days, pushing to Vanhoover and even as far as Tall Tale.

Celestia erupted in fury.

The Solar Empire drove the changelings back, led by Empress Daybreaker, and within a year the changelings lands were Equestrian territory. Not all ponies accepted the new tyranny of Daybreaker, who considered herself a Goddess and the ponies her 'children' of sorts, especially the thestrals, whom had earlier enjoyed much better rights only to have those rights rescinded and finding themselves targeted.

Major General Sharpened Sword was one such figure, an earth pony stallion and hero of the war. It's up to him to rescue Equestria - can he help the resistance, lead a revolt, and rescue Celestia from the grips of her alter-ego, or will he stumble, failing to manage the high-exposure of being a hero and the favour of Daybreaker combined with his own beliefs in harmony and the old Equestria?

The Lunar Rebellion has been growing in size since Rainbow Dash was a foal, fighting in the name of harmony and freedom. Fighting against the great tyrant, Empresses Celestia and her army of solar warriors.

There are always two sides to one story. Two halves of a whole. War can harden the softest of hearts. However, Rainbow finds herself confronted by the very thing she didn't know she could feel. Love.

Troubled by the Lunar Rebellion's dangerous ideals. Will her conscience allow her to do whatever is needed to stop the violent tyrant?

A nurse has seen it all. A combat medic has seen even more.

Princess Celestia sends her elite Household Battalion—"Celestia's Own"—south, far beyond the borders of Equestria, to break the slave trade and to free the oppressed. Medic Redheart, a young rookie among the Guard's hardened veterans, is with her Battalion every step of the way.

She's never told anypony her story. Until now.

A side story/prequel to my The Ponies in the Caves and A Story to Relate To, but reads independently.

This story is fantastic. There wasn't a single chapter that didn't give me chills or bring a tear to my eye. The way you describe the selflessness of the soldiers, and Redheart's unrelenting drive to save them, no matter the personal cost, was exemplary. I look forward to more of your work.

Has a Black Company feel to it with the medic POV. Great story so far!

After playing lots of America in mlp mods I decided to give my own account a try so here I go.

America after WW2 capitalist America and communist Korea are at war and this escalated into a full blown nuclear war but Americans survived better then others did and manage to escape most of the radiation and flee to MLP FIM but not exactly as they have seen it.
