This story is a sequel to Changing Expectations

When ages are segmented and divided in the annals of history, it is done so with great events as breakpoints. The Second Age of Heroes was unanimously declared to have started with the return of Princess Luna and the changeling Invasion of Canterlot.

For thousands of years, the changelings survived beneath The Great Tapestry, that which connects all living and nonliving things. Hundreds of generations worked endlessly to keep their existence a secret. With one command from Queen Chrysalis, the Masquerade was broken.

In a single night, the changelings waged war against Equestria and took the Kingdom by storm. Months later, the war between changelings and ponies has ended. A new tapestry, a new story, must be woven between the two species. Equestria and the Fifth Hive have gone through a dark chapter and have emerged stronger for it.

One war ends and another begins.

As The Sword of Damocles hangs above the heads of the formerly-human King Phasma and his Equestrian counterparts, the forces of light must work on an ever-shortening window before war once again brings Hell to Equus. Dark powers grow in the places that the light does not reach, and they bring one irrefutable truth.

Epitaph is coming.

This story is a sequel to Changing Expectations

A changeling royal: Princess Prochoerodes.

A team: Six changeling drones.

A mission: Delve into the most dangerous location on Equus and retrieve a treasure most valuable.

An order: Come back with her shield, and not on it.

Princess Procho has been given the honorable task of retrieving rare metals from the Underhive, an expansive layer of existence below the surface. She and her team must face the deadliest creatures on the planet, make it all the way to the bottom of the world, and come back up the surface.

All while trying their best to not die.

A sidestory to Changing Expectations, it is extremely recommended to read up till Chapter 53- The Promised Day before reading Underhive 733. You can read this fic without reading CE first, but it will spoil some mystery in CE.

Reason for cancellation: no desire to write an all-action book.

Civil war has ravaged Cybertron, homeworld to the Transformers, for millions of years.

Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, has recently discovered an ancient power that could give him the edge to win over the hated Autobots led by his mortal enemy, Optimus Prime.

Called, "Equestrian Magic", this power remains under the protection of seven organic life forms, who reside in a primitive world designated as... EARTH.

* My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and Transformers: Prime are both owned by Hasbro.
* In terms of EQG continuity, the story takes place after Holidays Unwrapped.
* In terms of TFP continuity, it takes place in an alternate reality where neither Autobots nor Decepticons ever met the human characters of the series, and both factions have members that are slightly different from the ones in the actual show.

Anon has been in Equestria for 5 years, working under Celestia as a Minister of Foreign Affairs. His tactics were seen as dishonest at best and unethical at worst. But when Celestia leaves suddenly, she names Anon as her temporary replacement to the throne. With internal bickering over whether Anon deserves this position and heightened tension with the Griffons, Anon must choose carefully. Will he become a tyrant or a fair king? And how far will he go to preserve Equestria?

A fully rewritten version of a greentext I wrote back in 2019. Could be a bit dated with tropes that I thought was good writing at the time, but I’m still proud of it.

For the Second Person tag you should note that sections from Anons POV are in first person, everyone else is in second person.

Romance tag is there because of a romance I included that I think was poorly handled, but half the story wouldn’t make sense if I just removed it so I had to keep it in.

Gore and Violence are self explanatory. It’s not there abundantly, but it is there.

Also don’t read the comments if you don’t want spoilers. Story discussion happens in them and that might ruin the reading experience.

I am making this Story because I thought of this while I was asleep and had finished beating Horizon Forbidden West. So with that being said there may or may not be some stuff that will spoil the game although very very minor. only for the encounter with Hades.

Spartan III Theodore-G172 Wyvern-Two
Status: MIA
Last deployment: Reach, Orbital Defense Platform Power Station Delta
Mission: Defend ODP Power Station Delta from Covenant Ground forces
Mission Status: Unsuccessful
Equipment: Modified SPI-ES Armor, BR55 battle rifle.
Wyvern Team status: MIA
With the fall of reach many Spartans were active in the beginning and end of the defense. Many lost their lives in the hope of saving the planet. They failed.
_______________________________________________

The Changeling hive launched a desperate attack on Canterlot to save themselves from extinction. It failed. With the whole world now knowing about them they have no choice but fight for their very survival. Outmatch and outnumbered, they have no hope of survival. They fight for precious land to give the hive more time for an effective solution or war ending strategy that will save them. With Equestria hell bent of the destruction of the hive this seems unlikely. All seems hopeless. They need something to deliver them hope.

Given a unique perspective on negative emotion, less than a foal's knowledge of ordinary magic, a healthy schadenfreude, and danger bearing down on all sides, the self-proclaimed "Weiss Noir" makes no plans accounting for his death, and plans to keep it that way, even after being torn away from earth, turned into a unicorn, and dumped into one of the most inhospitable locations and times in all of Equestria.

Stranded in the Frozen North, a place where biting cold ends lives, and one thousand years in the past, in a time when peril is the norm, rather than the exception, Weiss decides to indulge in sorcery most foul, stolen ideas, and human ingenuity to survive.

Given the choice between a mad slaver and a mad sage, however, there is no avoiding an inevitable tide of ponies escaping the conquered Crystal Empire to bask in the warmth of his well-stoked hate. Something which draws attention, enemies, and most worryingly, the rivalry of his "peers".

Nyx, daughter of Twilight Sparkle, awakes to a world torn by war and ravaged by nuclear fallout. Alone, she is given the task to write down the final days of the heroes of Equestria to let the world know of their brave exploits, but is given a much harder task-to live her life as best as she can.

But, how can one live, if one sees herself as a monster. How can one live on, when there is nothing to live for?

All thanks to Kkat for the world and Pen stroke for the always lovely Nyx.

This story is a sequel to When All You Have Is Memories

It has been two hundred years since Fluttershy passed on. Her dear friend Discord, however, is still as lively as he was the day they first met. Unfortunately, it hasn't been easy getting used to the fact that she is dead, and Discord is struggling to move on.

As he remembers her one day, two centuries after her passing, he is visited by another immortal. One who, much like himself, was once a force of evil who was redeemed. And one who, just like him, has lost ponies she loved to the ravages of time.

This story is a sequel to When All You Have Is Memories. Reading it is not required, though it is strongly recommended.

In addition, this story follows the events of the S3 finale, but ignores S4.

Finally, this story features Nyx from Past Sins. Nyx and past Sins belong to Pen Stroke.

Diamond Tiara hates Nyx, this isn't exactly news. However, during a class fieldtrip Nyx finally asks why, and she may not like what she hears.

Written for Telaros because he wouldn't stop whinging for a DiNyx fic he's such a good friend and I'm such a kind, generous soul :3
