Sequel

Departure

Long Description

It was an ordinary bit. Like all the others, bearing the face of the new Sovereign. No longer the naïve young alicorn Capper once knew. Older. Wiser. Aware now, of just what kind of a place Klugetown was. Aware of what Capper almost did.

A fitting thing for Capper to contemplate while ruminating over his past. While wondering what is to come. He would find out soon enough.

Continuity

Based on a couple of lines in and set in the past of Companion, though it is not a direct prequel.

Author's Note

I mean, I'm not the only viewer of the MLP movie to think that the implications of its depiction of Klugetown are kinda messed up, right?

Based off a prompt from Bean's Writing Group Discord server, "Arrival". Thanks to Bean, Short-tale, Gay For Gadot, Thesmokingguy, and Mykola for their feedback.

It was a cold winter's day in Canterlot, the snow was falling and ponies huddled close to their partners for warmth. Octavia however, was alone. Exhausted from having to perform three days in a row she was looking forward to the break that Hearth's Warming Eve would bring, even if she had to spend it alone. She had only one performance left before she could take a long needed break.

On her way home from the stage she noticed that it was empty of an audience, confused and angry she heard a strange song coming from nearby. She followed the music, wanting to confront the pony that was stealing her show. What she found was no pony, but a creature she had never seen around before.

Rated Teen for alcohol use in story

Exactly what you saw earlier when you clicked on the short description.

Man dies and comes back as the pony of shadows, if you liked Venom and let there be Carnage, This is the story for you!

And if anyone wants to read this, be warned, shit’s about to get real.

Twilight didn't expect she would get to know anypony in Ponyville, let alone travel with them through one of the most dangerous forests in Equestria to fight a supercharged alicorn in an abandoned castle.

What she REALLY didn't expect was that she wasn't going to be the one fighting.

I did not draw any of the art that is on the cover. I only photoshopped Let Me Solo Her into the image.

p.s. writing this has given me aids.

p.p.s. Thanks for getting this on to trending, I like watching numbers go up.

When Gordon and his friends Bubby, Coomer, and Tommy defeated Benry and had that sweet birthday bash at chucky e cheese, they expected to be transported back to black mesa, however, they have ended up in a far different land... One filled with friendship loving, magic wielding, technicolor ponies. How will the gang react? Will they create chaos, will they make new friends, will they help in beating some new ancient evil? One thing is for sure, Gordon Freemans ride of insanity ain't over quite yet... Not by a long shot.

6/29/22: FEATURED! LET'S GO!

As you can guess, inspired by HLVRAI, which you should really go watch if you haven't, and you probably will need to watch in order to understand the lore even a little bit.

The sudden and unexpected loss of Fluttershy was one of the most tragic events to have struck Ponyville in living memory, and most of her friends have struggled to accept the fact that she is gone.

It's a good thing Discord isn't like most of her friends.

Everyone always tells Twilight that the ones who love us never truly leave us.

But that's a lie. It's always been a lie.

Things that live must also die. It's simply the cycle of life, and that cycle doesn't care about love or the pain it causes.

Until one day, that cycle is broken by a forgotten figure from her past: a little tortoise who's not so little anymore.

This story is, first and foremost, a gift for the incomparable Mushroom, who clearly must be some sort of undiscovered species of fungus dog since we definitely don't deserve her. I have it on good authority that this story gave her Many Feelings, and I hope it gives them to you, too. :)

This also won first place in the of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting '2021 Gift Fic Exchange' contest portion, which is neat.

This story is a sequel to Sisters

Info

A Quills and Sofas Christmas Fic Exchange gift for applejackofalltrades with the prompt "gimme any applejack ship but DONT make her straight :gun-2:", spruced up from its first draft. Inspired by Space_Kase's amazing Past Tartarus and Back, which you should really be reading instead.

Thanks to daOtterGuy for convincing me to kill many, many darlings by not adding back in the scenes I cut from the initial idea, and to Emotion Nexus for help with the shortdesc.

Longdesc

In the future of the Crystal War timeline, King Sombra has finally been defeated. But the war being over just means that its wounds can only begin to heal, and all Applejack can do is give Pinkie the home that her family's rock farm can no longer be.

Sequelness

While this is a sequel to Sisters, it can be read as a standalone without missing anything.

A promising member of the royal guard, and Princess Luna's aide, was helping his two Canterlot Princesses with a personal favor involving their old home in the Everfree Forest. After a rather weird encounter with an unknown being, the royal guard codename 'Aero' discovers that he is now alone in the forest.

Later on, he also realizes that something very strange is going on.

Especially with the mares.

Set during Season 6, after "The Crystalling" Part 2 (from Aero's perspective).
RGRE [Reversed gender roles Equestria] (From Chapter 2 onwards)

First featured 01-12-2021. (That was really fast, to be honest. Thank you guys.)

King Sombra has just taken Canterlot, Twilight and her friends have been scattered, and The Royal sisters have been imprisoned. Sombra thought he had destroyed any possibility of resistance, clearly, he didn't Think twice about it. And whenever TheRussianbadger is given a task, you'd better believe he'll accomplish it, no matter how insane it seems or how extreme his methods...

A one shot parody based off of theRussianbadger and his cohorts shenanigans.
