The date is May 1941 on Earth, better known in Equestria as the year 1015. Nazi Germany declared war on Equestria after cracking the interdimensional barrier, sending the battleship Bismarck to enforce their goals.

In response to Germany's February declaration of war, Celestia spends billions to acquire a surface fleet at least capable of attacking her enemy. But the amalgamated fleet of dilapidated ships' first test will be harder than anything Equestria has ever dealt with in the past.

Will Princess Luna, commanding her sister's motley collection of S-boats, decades-old destroyers, and nearly-scrapped cruiser hulks be able to take on the most powerful battleship to sail the Atlantic?

-----------------------

Written in memory of the Bismarck's sinking on May 27, 1941, and the loss of nearly her entire crew of over 2,200 officers and enlisted. Though their nation committed horrifying crimes against humanity, the men aboard Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, her sole consort who was detached to refuel the day before the sinking, led honorable wartime naval careers. Their destroyer screen was detached long before they steamed for the Atlantic, but I kept it here because they were part of Operation Rheinübung, which was the German attempted breakout into the Atlantic by steaming north into the Arctic and coming back down on the other side of Britain.

Published on the day of Bismarck's sinking.

During parts that show the Bismarck's perspective, several German words will be used. Since German and English are similar, it shouldn't be hard to determine what they're saying. In any event, all German words used will be in a glossary in the author's note. Each is marked in the story with an asterisk.

Thank you to editor EverfreePony for taking the time to edit this story.

Another old short from several years ago that I never published.

Publishing just for the few fun moments and sweet parts that made it worth sharing.

After buying four masks of the Night Pride from the Lions, Tigers and Bears comic book series, Viktor, Carlos, Katelyn, and Alexa are thrust into Equestria a year before Luna becomes Nightmare Moon. There, they encounter a foe they had thought had only existed in a comic book.

Years afterwards, Luna has been freed of Nightmare Moon's influence, but the Pride had been turned to stone by a grief stricken Celestia. A chain of events soon frees them, but now they are thrust into a battle against the same foes they had fought so long ago. With new allies to help them, they prepare to fight to stop the Age of Beasts from becoming reality...

A Lions,Tigers and Bears displaced story.

Constructive criticism and feedback are appreciated.

If you don't like the the story,you don't have to read it.

(A note from the author: Yes, this is the same Lions Tigers and... Ponies?! story I had cancelled a few years ago, but I've decided to bring it back to life. As such, I've combined chapters 2-3 and 4-5 into two large chapters, and have another chapter in the works.)

Celestia has fallen ill, and because of this, the sun itself is going out. The mane six use the Elements of Harmony to seek out the most suitable hero to save their world. This hero has only a single chance, only One Shot to stop the certain demise of Equestria and return home, but it won't be like last time.

CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ONESHOT. Seriously, if you haven't played OneShot, I urge you to beat someone up on the street if you have to for ten dollars to play the game.

Okay don't actually do that, but really, you need to play the game before you even consider reading this story. If not, there will be major spoilers.

This story is dialogue heavy, and I wrote it all in one sitting, so bare with me. I almost really wrote this story more for myself than anyone else. I used some creative freedom with the concept of the lightbulb and with Niko that deviates slightly from the original game, I hope I don't get heavily criticized for it.

Edit: I changed the rating to everyone and removed a few tags.

This story is a sequel to Crystal Note - Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres!

After vanishing from a curse for more than 1000 years, little is known about the Crystal Empire and its inhabitants. Especially the final years of King Sombra's rule remain shrouded by mystery. Even to the crystal ponies themselves as their memories remain effected by the tyrant King's dark magic.

Now the Crystal Empire has returned and King Sombra has been defeated, but the aftermaths of his cruelty still linger within his former subjects.

One crystal pony begins travelling through Equestria to learn about her past and finds friends along the way. Will revealing her past help her understand more of herself and find a place in this new future?

During her travels all over Equestria, Crystal Note runs into all kinds of ponies. Some of those ponies grew into friends, a few even turn into family.
However, each new travel means leaving those friends. Thankfully, there are ways to stay in touch nonetheless.

These are the letters Crystal Note sent and received during her travels, from finding a place where she belongs through her years as a travelling musician and after.

Welcome to this little side story from the Crystal Note AU. These stories are connected to the main story, but not necessary to fully understand the main stories.

Most likely, this is going to be a place for exposition dumps and little ideas that didn't fit well into any of the bigger stories.

There will be infrequent updates to this and probably a lot of jumps in time between the chapters. I'll try to keep things in order if possible.

If you have any feedback, questions, ideas or requests, I'd be happy to hear them!
