Story that I've been working on for a while, but with little to no readers. I figured it was worth a shot to post it here.

Lieutenant Commander Firefly and Timberwolf flight of VFA-108 are seasoned veterans, combat fliers of the highest caliber. But even the best cannot escape the scars of war. Images of battle continue to haunt Firefly, demons that she cannot seem to exorcise on her own. Meanwhile, she still has a squad to lead, a new recruit to train, and bureaucratic red tape to deal with.

Patrols and drills are boring grinds compared to the pitched battles of the Continental War. But what begins as routine patrol work rapidly escalates into deadly dogfights and furious fleet actions. There is more to this fight than just a few rogue griffons out for blood and coin. As the situation rapidly spirals out of control, the Timberwolves find themselves embroiled in a conflict that will determine the fate of not just the Crystal Empire, but all Equestria.

Original universe with heavy inspiration from the Ace Combat games.

Give Equestrian Horizon a shot!
