After a brutal war between the Alicorns and the chaos bringers the two filly alicorn sisters are alone and have to set out on a journey to find their beloved parents

Relationships are give and take. Equality. Fairness. Responsibility and desire often clash, and one can only take so much before patience becomes thin, hearts become twisted, and morals are questioned, for even those with the power of the gods have emotions like mere mortals.

Twilight discovers more about herself and Spike than she could have imagined, once their relationship is pushed to its boundaries and things change for better and worse.

Twilight Sparkle tries to convince one of her lodgers to do something he'd rather not.

Started life as a scene for something completely different, took up residence in my brain a few days ago, and just wouldn't go away till I finished writing it down.

Now with a reading by my favourite site-wide maniac, PresentPerfect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Jf9frXCkw

Pre-read through the efforts of my dear friend WolfieSama01, who wishes it to be known that she tried to dissuade me.

After a confusing encounter with Q, the Enterprise-D and her crew find themselves thousands of light-years from Federation. When they are forced to make contact with a very strange civilization of ponies, they think only of peace. Unfortunately, their arrival destabilizes a tense political situation.

The world of men is filled with violence and strife. So much so that fighting and killing each other has become an art form. When a wandering man, trained in the ancient ways of combat, stumbles upon the peaceful realm of Equestria, how can he possibly learn to coexist with a bunch of candy-colored ponies, especially when his past deeds constantly seek to destroy him and those around him, physically and mentally?

As a human girl named Kelly is placed in a strange place known as Equestria, she has to find a way to make herself fit in and learn about how the ponies behave. She able to live there, but can she get the ponies to trust her?

A United States Air Force AC-130 is transported to Equestria while in transit through the Bermuda Triangle. Insanity aside, this motley crew of aviators must juggle their duties while treading the uncertain waters of diplomacy.

Disclaimer: I've decided to write this in an attempt to get a more realistic view of what military in Equestria would act like, rather then the dark brooding kill happy stuff I've read. So with that being said, these guys will act more like diplomats. So there won't be much gore, and they certainly won't be going on a killing spree. (Obviously, as fiction the term realistic is applied loosely. My main goal is a realistic characterization of one specific community within the military. Just keep an open mind about how sub-cultures can exist within an entity as large as the U.S. military and you'll be fine.) Also rated teen for obvious reasons, morbid humor, light swearing, and background stories.

Now with an amazing YouTube reading by the equally amazing AShadowOfCygnus!

During its two year search for Shepard, the lone Geth traveled across the galaxy, exploring worlds both known and unknown. After a blind FTL jump to escape from an Alliance patrol, it found itself in a previously undiscovered system, a system without a mass relay and completely cut off from the rest of the galaxy. It touched down on one of the worlds, a garden-like planet, with the intention of gathering data on any flora and fauna that may have been present.

Instead, it made a remarkable discovery.

A big thanks to my bloody brilliant proofreader AShadowOfCygnus. Don't stop being classy, buddy.

Twilight Sparkle's imagination as a child was unbelievable, probably due to all those books. Which also make up the amazing Fort Book, Twilightopia's first stronghold against the country of Armor! With the help of Captain Smartypants and Private Cadence, General Twilight defends her fort against her brother's advancing army of one!
A tale of Twi's childhood told from her point of view.
