With the Ritual of Sacanas complete and the alicorn magic successfully usurped, the Storm King's chief enforcer anticipates her long-awaited reward, while it seems only a miracle can prevent the sacking of Equestria's capitol...

This story is a sequel to Grunts

Following abject defeat, a certain amount of listlessness is to be expected.

Some Storm Guard settled down, tried to build new lives. Others took the chance to go back home in an effort to pick up the pieces of what they had.

One, who hasn't quite decided what he wants to do yet, vists one who most decidedly has.

And what he wants to do is bake.

When Cerberus left his post at the gates of Tartarus, Tirek wasn't the only ancient enemy of Celestia and Luna to escape. Of the many monsters that poured out, among them was the first foe that Celestia and Luna ever fought as newly-crowned princesses.

Now free from his constraints and with a thirst for vengeance against the 'false goddesses', the Frumentarii Cassius is once more released upon Equestria to sow havoc in the name of Mars. He will have his revenge, even if that means a new legion will have to be forged.

A Legion in the skies. The Storm Legion.

This story is a sequel to The Princess's Captain

There are more characters in The Princess's Captain than just Twilight Sparkle and Tempest Shadow. This will be a repository for stories that don't feature our main pairing quite as heavily, that take place in the middle of other stories, and/or that are simply not as important to the main plot. Every one of these stories is canon, however, so the reader is advised to keep up with them! Standard warnings from The Princess's Captain apply here, as well. See below for timeline information.

Down to Brass Tacks: Twilight and Tempest are summoned to Canterlot by the Cutie Map. Takes place after chapter 8 of A Princess's Trials.

Capper had always fancied himself as being a cut above the common criminal riff raff of Klugetown, with his quick wits and charming personality. Sure, he was a conman, but he wasnt a dirty conman. He was good at what he did, and he did it gracefully and with elegance. And so he always carried himself with an air of confidence and took pride in his work, even if it was only to help him forget his crippling debt and just how alone in the world he truly was.

A sister fic to Some Days Are Hard

Special thanks to my friends Elliott, Patrick, Rose, Emily, and Jonathan for being the best.

The Storm King Invasion had many effects, not least of which is that it raised doubts about many of the ponies tasked with defending Equestria. At least it certainly did in the mind of Rainbow Dash. She hasn't thought much about it lately. But a problem within the Wonderbolts brings her once again face to face with a certain mare, and a few unresolved issues.

All is peaceful in locked-down Canterlot. Just a question of waiting for Commander Tempest to get back.

Not that the Storm Guard know the plan, of course. They just follow orders, trusting that the King knows best.

While following these orders and keeping an eye on everything, two Storm Guard have a conversation, just to pass the time.

Fizzlepop Berrytwist suffered a terrible tragedy as a foal and nearly lost her way until a chance meeting with Shining Armor showed her another path in life - as a member of the Night Guard of Luna. However, in her efforts to prove herself as being up to the task of being a Night Guard, she has pushed herself practically to the breaking point. As her commanding officers try and sort out her unique situation and if the Guard really is the place for her, she is given a simple assignment: keep an eye on Trixie Lulamoon, Princess Luna's new apprentice, as she spends a day in Canterlot.

This won't end well...

A Lunaverse story, and a prequel to the main series. However this is being written in such a way that new readers should have no trouble diving in.

The Storm King has returned to Equestria, fully restored and stronger than ever! This time, he's made sure to account for a few important 'meddling ponies' in his plan alongside the princesses and other figures of power.
With the Bearers of the Elements trapped far away from Equestria, how will they ever save their home?
Well, the way they always do: With strange new friends and the powerful forces that have guided them all along.

My final entry for the Feghoof Festival, and the 11th place runner up!

Tempest has been invited to stay at Twilight's castle after several months of not very much under heavy watch in Canterlot. Keen on the idea of getting out, she accepts. The one problem: After invading, and then spending quite a bit of time away from society, everypony is a bit anxious about her presence.

Once she arrives in Ponyville, Tempest is much less sure of herself. Sure, she's out, but what now? Will she ever be able to get a meaningful place in life? And what about her lack of cutie mark?
