This story is a sequel to My Past is Not Tonight, Either

Derpy is that one relentlessly happy person who never lets anything get her down. That’s one of the things Sunset most loves her for.

But lately, Derpy doesn’t look happy.

An entry in oroboro’s Sunset Shipping Contests: Endings.

Featured on Equestria Daily.

Hi. My name's James. If you're reading this, then one of two things have happened. One, you're another human that got sent to this shit hole and was able to find my shelter. Or two, you're one of the ponies that found me and I'm probably rotting in a cell or getting experimented on. If the former, good luck. If the later, go fuck yourself.

Alone in the nothingness, a mare waits.

Edit: now available in Chinese!

Diplomacy has failed. Six years have passed Equestria's crowning of the princess of friendship, ushering in a supposed unprecedented age of peace and harmony. The concept of warfare is, to most ponies, nothing more than an unfathomable legend. They have let their guard down.

An unknown enemy has seized the opportunity to attack Equestria with terrifying new weapons of war, bent on taking the fertile land and restoring an ancient order. The valiant efforts of the Royal Guard have given Princess Twilight and her arcane scientists time to research and develop a response to their attackers, and the time has come for that response to be implemented. Utilizing weapons and tactics borrowed from another world, five squads under the command of Princess Luna will infiltrate the forests of the Equestrian Northwest to destroy a revolutionary magical matrix that Twilight refers to as the "radio" - a tool that allows enemy ponies to communicate across vast distances instantly.

Nightmare Two is comprised of three foalhood friends who, rather than be separated from each other in the draft, volunteer to become one of the five Nightmare squads. With their bodies forever altered to suit the needs of their mission, the three young mares join legions of ponies armed with powerful weapons to partake in a horrifying new breed of warfare - Equestria's first in over one thousand years.

Heads up, folks. If you wouldn't mind leaving a comment alongside the thumbs-down, I'd appreciate it. This is my first foray into fan fiction and although it's a hobby I nonetheless wish to get better. :)

Got some FAQ's for you guys as well!

- Alternate universe in which the events of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" did not occur. (As much as I loved it! :D)

- Numerical age tends to vary with headcanon, but the CMC here were just getting started with their adult lives when the draft went into effect.

- The war is pony v. pony, utilizing firearms and the Equestrian equivalent of a tank. The underlying headcanon is that ponies used firearms similar to muskets and tracked armored vehicles akin to our tanks in times of old, and what the enemy currently employs is essentially the natural progression of these technologies.

- There are no real-world weapons or equipment i.e. "Panzer IV," or "M16 assault rifle." Particularly acute details such as the caliber of weapons are also absent.

- Technology is based on that of WWI with some WWII elements. Firearms are primarily bolt-action.

- The "radio" spell matrix functions as what we know to be a radio, but is not identical.

- All four of a Night Mare's legs are permanently replaced by the augments.

- Night Mares are female. Stallions proved unable to properly animate the limbs.

In an Equestria without the Princesses or the guidance of the Elements of Harmony, Twilight Sparkle is a researcher on the cusp of her greatest discovery and simultaneous fall from grace while finding love at the same time.

Initially written for the May/June Twiluna contest. Proofreading and idea-seeding credit goes to Pearple Prose Rated Teen for language and implied sex/violence.

The sirens are defeated and Sunset Shimmer has restored her magic. All's well and good, right?

Of course not. What begins with Sunset's friends wanting to have a very important talk with her will escalate until the fate of at least one world hangs in the balance.

Rated Teen for cosmic calamities, trace amounts of waifu theft, and a bit more skin than Hasbro is likely to show. Cover by iisaw.

The Story Shuffle short stories "Aftershock" and "Rock On" take place in the same continuity as this story. The background details of "Fish Out of Water" apply, but the story itself does not.

It was supposed to be a normal trip into the Everfree Forest for Apple Bloom. She had been through this trek many times as a filly. Yet on this fateful autumn evening, Apple Bloom took a wrong turn and ended up being nearly killed by a raging manticore. Injured and left for dead, Apple Bloom was rescued by a mysterious creature.

It was made to be to the custodian of the last remains of a long lost race. It has been tasked to do whatever it takes to carry out its creator's last will. So when Apple Bloom stumbled upon its hiding spot, it did the only thing it could and bringing her to its layer to save her.

This story was my entry in Two Bit's Autumn Pony to Human TF story contest last year, only modify and expanded some more. Totally forgot about it until recently. Figures now would be a perfect time to publish it. Happy First Day of Autumn, everyone!

Ahh, the magical land of Equestria. A place of peace and tranquility, ruled by Princess Celestia from the shining beacon of Canterlot. The ponies, of course, are the namesake of this place, and the primary sentient species of this place. They are a peaceful people who do stuff like have parties and sing all the time and a lot of other stuff, but something... otherworldly is coming, something from OUR world.

No, not humans. What if plants and animals from our world, extinct and alive alike, get sucked into the magical world of Equestria, so what happens then, you may ask.

Well, we know that an introduced species can cause an imbalance to the ecosystem. But, here's the catcher. While a normal ecosystem is self-sufficient and can rebuild itself naturally, Equestria is entirely dependent on the primary inhabitants to fix it themselves.

Unfortunately for them, Mother Nature's cooking their meals tonight.

So yeah, this is a reboot to a story called "Invasion of the Ecosystem". Dead story, dead author, dead everything. Kinda sad to see it go, it had a lot of potential in it. I was planning on making this story a collaboration effort with the help of this guy right here, but he/she has been off since May 30th. So, for the forseeable future, this is a one-man effort.

The story starts at the end of the episode "School Daze (Part Two)", and I'm planning on depicting the invading flora and fauna as accurately and precise as I can, but with some flair for the extinct club.

Anywho, enjoy.

The Griffon Kingdom was once a prosperous and happy country, but in the past century it has fallen into ruin. It now sits as an empty husk of what it once was, leaving the griffons living there to scrounge for whatever they can find to survive. There is no government, no leaders, and for many griffons, no hope.

Princess Celestia has done all she can to try and aid it and the griffons living there, but there is only so much she can do without causing an international incident. Now her hoof has been forced. A changeling queen is building a hive deep inside the kingdom, and once fully established it will be a threat to ponies and griffons alike.

Gilda doesn't care about any of that. She's far more interested in finishing her new bakery. It hasn't been easy, she had to persuade a number of griffons to come together to build it, but she had gotten it done. Now, with the help of her two employees (who she might go as far to even call friends) she's almost ready to open for business.

Unfortunately, Gilda's hard work is about to put her front and center in Celestia's plan to save the Griffon Kingdom. A task which comes with a whole host of problems, as well as a crown.

Monster of the River Ván, Fame-wolf, Bringer of Hlín’s Second Sorrow, Devourer of the Allfather…

After killing Odin, Fenrir himself is slain by the Allfather's son Víðarr, his jaws torn apart and his heart impaled by the silent god's blade. Despite this, he dies content in the knowledge that he ate old One-Eye.

Death, however, is not final.

Awakening in an unfamiliar forest, Fenrir discovers that he has been reincarnated, appearing once more as a wolf pup and now living in a strange world filled with...sentient ponies? Between navigating his way through a brand new realm and reclaiming his independence, Fenrir embarks on a journey of redemption and self-discovery as he comes to terms with his dark past and confronts his greatest fear: a bright new future.
