Gilda only wanted the humble things in life. Cheap rent, copious bits, the respect of her peers, the occasional juicy field-mouse.
Being captured by the Equestrians and dragooned into the Territorials wasn't quite what she'd dreamed of, but at least the rent was free.
And the rats were nice and plump.
This story is a sequel to Changeling Space Program
Twilight Sparkle's experimental interplanetary drive has malfunctioned, stranding Starlight Glimmer, Spitfire, Cherry Berry, a changeling and a dragon on a hostile planet in another universe. With limited food supplies, very little magic, no communications with home, and no way to leave the planet, they must survive until somepony rescues them.
Fortunately they crashed right next door to another creature with the exact same problem- a creature named Mark Watney.
They're going to science the buck out of everything- and do whatever it takes to survive Mars and get everybody home.

Events have not been kind to Trixie since her second time challenging Twilight, but hardship breeds wisdom. If only she'd have any time to think things over!

Trixie has once again bit off more than she can chew. Before long she'll be out in the cold...

This story is considered canon for A 14th Century Friar in Celestia's Court, but may be read as a standalone.
Spearhead was a guard. Had been for years. He'd gone through the Academy with Shining Armor, seen action against bandits in the border territories, even served a stint in the Royal Expeditionary Force. It was good work; a noble calling. He loved being a Guard.
Spearhead was an artist. Sure, it might not have been his special talent, but he'd been creating avant garde art for as long as he'd been training with spears. He was planning on going back to school to pursue a career in art. He didn't want to stop being a Guard to make art, at least not yet, but he did wonder about the future, when he wasn't so fit or wanted a change of pace. But it wasn't an immediate issue. He still had years of service ahead of him, after all, and there was no reason not pursue art on the side. Plenty of soldiers had hobbies, and Spearhead was content to let the future look after itself.
Then, the day his buddy was supposed to be getting married, an invading swarm of Changelings broke through the city's shield, which did not sit will with Spearhead, to say the least.
This is a tale of the Battle for Canterlot, and of one guardpony whose life would be forever changed by it.
The character of Spearhead intrigued me. From the brief bit that we see of him in Season 7, he seems like a standup guy, even if he's not quite all there. I felt he merited fleshing out. This story is rated 'Teen' for violence, though I don't plan on making it gory.

She didn't have a name anymore, she was only referred to as U-1746, the pin number on her uniform.
Your name didn't matter in the war, only how you performed. If you did well enough, you'd have a name that ponies would remember when Equestria won... if Equestria won.
She would make that her goal. She would matter. Her name is Rarity, and this is her story.

Story DUE FOR RE-Write
The world is full of legends of ponies facing great evils or overcoming impossible odds in the name of good.
These legends live on forever in history.
This however is a legend that was overshadowed by the events surrounding it and lives on not in the history books, but as a simply story ponies tell each other around a campfire or over a mug of cider.
While much of the story has changed over the centuries the core of this legend has remained the same.
This is the legend of Lieutenant Raven Sheild and how on the night of Nightmare Moon's rebellion, she and a small band of soldiers stood in the path of a mad alicorn.
Princess Celestia goes through the same routine day after day and has grown tired of it, even with her long life cycle. So when her old friend, Twilight Velvet has an idea sure to catch some attention, the ruler of the sun agrees, albeit begrudgingly.
Now connecting with other females who value their children lives above themselves like herself, she begins to find comfort in those she considers friends.
Until an accidental slip of the tongue reveals her true identity and the fate of her son's life could very well be in the balance.
Why couldn't she just be a normal pony?
Author's Note: There will be more characters then the tags suggest and current cover art used until I have the money to have a custom one made, apologizes. Also major Discord/Pinkie Pie, though Discord himself won't appear in the story, just mentioned. Rated Teen for mild language (it's me, come on) and alcohol.
