Tirek thought it was over when the mares he thought he had defeated used the powerful rainbow power of Harmony against him, stripping him of the power he had stolen from the ponies of Equestria, while no doubt sending him back to his cell in Tartarus. Fate, however, seemed to have other plans for him as he found himself buried under the ground, in a shallow grave that he had to pull himself out of, just as a bell tolled, and in a foreign land that he knows nothing about. At the same time he discovers that he wasn't the only one buried, as a fallen warrior also pulls herself from the grave and sets off on her own personal quest, while also finding out that they are both undead in some manner and that fate has big plans for them.

He and his unlikely companion must band together for the foreseeable future and tackle the dangers of this world, all while Tirek searches for the power that will allow him to break his condition, regain his true power, and then conquer the world, or die trying.

I wasn't the most consistent fan of My Little Pony, in all honesty. In fact that show wasn't the only thing on my list of interests. For a long while I had left those colorful ponies in the dust. I practically missed seasons 7-8 because I had gotten bored. However... it was the last season that drew me back in. I guess I now know a bit about the show, but not everything. I definitely knew of Cozy Glow however. She was hated by everyone. Well, except me. For some reason I liked her as the mischievous little filly she was. Her character interested me and I wanted to learn more. I wanted to see what kind of history she had. Why did she decide to turn evil? She was probably the only reason I went back to previous seasons.

You could guess how disappointed I was when the finale came up. Instead of helping her, they turned her to stone. Instead of trying to figure out the issue, they left her behind to be forgotten. Everyone cheered and laughed while Cozy, Chrysalis, and Tirek were turned into statues for the rest of eternity. I was displeased. Afterwards I drifted away and instead tried to focus on my work. I had to, after all. I was becoming an adult. I was growing up. Though the stress might pile up on me, I had to keep going. I had to get things done...

I could keep going... couldn't I?

It seems however that the universe had decided to drag me back into a world of rainbows and magic. Imagine my surprise when I suddenly woke up the next day inside a cage in the deepest, darkest chambers of Tartarus. Not only that but also as the small pink bundle of feathers that everyone loathed and despised. A billion questions rang through my head but the most prominent ones of all continuously pounded against my skull: What in the holy hell do I do from here?
And how do I stop what comes next?

This story is a sequel to The Great Equestrian Administrative Renaissance (or "Twilight Sparkle realises some rather obvious things which were previously elusive")

The School of Friendship has codified and formalised an education of friendship and its properties, allowing for a much more efficient and entertaining way of spreading its magic to the inhabitants of Equestria, and enabling those outside the borders of the kingdom to learn and expand their horizons. The Princess of Friendship herself has managed to foster strong bonds among nations, developing peace, harmony, and prosperity not only for ponies, but for as many creatures as are willing to engage in her dream of a better tomorrow.

But part of living is learning, and that means changing from a position of ignorance to one of enlightenment. That process can be a risk, particularly if the process required for learning is confronting someone's ignorance and presenting them with an opposing point of view. When the opposing point of view comes from someone else's ignorance, sparks can fly.

Inspired by this humorous piece and written as a spiritual sequel to one of my own fics, being set in the same timeline. No additional reading is required to understand this story, though.

Please, ladies and gentlemen, accept this as the joke as which it is written, and don't think I'm trying to write a thesis on any genuine issue. It's some fun writing poking fun at things we've probably all encountered in life, not a rallying cry. There is no hidden message, other than that we can talk and laugh together without falling out.

skohp-uhs-thee-zhuh

noun

1. The extrasensory phenomenon of 'feeling' someone or something staring at you.

The legion was lost and under constant attack by barbaric Germanic tribes. Under the temporary command of Tribunus Laticlavius Marcus Maximus, the 50th “Imber” Legion cautiously made their way out of the death trap they were in, reaching the edge of the forest of death. But instead of the welcoming sight of Roman territory, they find themselves in an unfamiliar and cold barren land, where ponies talk and warfare just as brutal as the one they had tried to escape.

Roman legions were known for their flexibility and ability to adapt, but will they be able to do so in this strange land far from home?

Cozy Glow ventures into the caverns beneath the School of Friendship, looking for the Tree of Harmony. All alone. Completely alone. At least, she's pretty sure she is...

Follow-on to the episode What Lies Beneath, exploring why Cozy Glow suddenly takes a very hard left...

Twilight is trapped inside a laboratory with no idea how she got there. All she could remember was that she had a message from Sunset saying it was an emergency. What’s going on? How did she get here?

And what does an insane duplicate of herself have to do with it?

Partially inspired by this song and by Pages of Harmony.

Changeling Drone 626 had considered a lot of things after being banished from the Hive. Most of these things consisted of cursing whatever deity above decided to ruin his life by making him the way he was, wondering if there was any point in moving forward, and questioning his own sanity in a world without the Hive Mind to lean on for comfort.

What he did not consider was the possibility of ever being accepted by the ponies, much less becoming a part of the nation’s only self-defense system!

With a past he'd rather leave behind, and a future filled with only more uncertainty then before 626 could only wonder one thing...

Why did he ever think it was a good idea to go into that silly little pony town, regardless if it was a favor for Zecora or not!

Welcome one and all to my own take of the series! Yes yes I know its cliched and done a thousand times, but what can I say? I couldn't get the idea out of my head once it was in there, and I figured it was my turn to give this whole 'Seventh Element OC' idea a shot.

So read on dear friends and readers, as we journey through the story we all know and love with a new twist! Let's see how long a defective changeling can survive being a part of the Elements of Harmony, and considering its me writing this you know some good old DWC chaos is around to help in the 'fun.'

I give him a week before a mental breakdown hehehehehe...

Big thanks to the amazing Puzzling Frost for proof-reading and editing the story! He does a amazing job and the story wouldn't be as good as it is without his help!

"Wouldn't it be amazing if I could turn into a cat?" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight Sparkle overreacted. Or so most of Ponyville agreed later, among a chorus of meows.

Starlight liquifies Applejack. Oops.
