After crashing on an unknown world, a hardened soldier from a distant planet must find his brethren, as well as a way home. What this soldier didn’t expect, was a population of cheerfully innocent, endlessly kind, small, ponies? All the while an ancient enemy is about to enact her disastrous return. Will the soldier drop his objectives and help in this world’s time of need? If he does who will he meet? And could anyone even look him in the eye when they learn of what he is, who he is, and what he has done?

*Just a heads up, while the story itself is much more fun and trilling than dark, it will touch the subject of war and death as well as the ethics of a corrupt government fighting a worse, more corrupt government*

**The general goal of this story is to have (maybe) a semi-long lasting plot throughout the first season of mlpfim that pits two drastically different, yet similar, moral codes against each other. As well as the significance of unearned kindness and the importance of questioning. Also it’s a lot of fun to have a crossover with two franchises that have some alike messages but very different tones.**

Sunset Shimmer has a confession to make.

My entry into the Dialogue Only Contest.

Cover art borrowed from IDW.

Allura and Twitch visit Mane Melody, but not for any evil doings. Rather, they wish only for a typical salon treatment. The good news, Rocky and Jazz are willing to help out. The bad news, one pony isn't.

Takes place sometime after Tale Your Tale: The Blockywockys.

Somewhere in the void is a star that by all rights should have collapsed in on itself and gone supernova a long time ago. It won't, of course.

Celestia. Tartarus. Equus and Luna. Bucephalus. Tambelon. The Umbre Belt. The Ungula system may be quite populated, but it has many depths yet unplumbed.

The ESS Fire of Friendship is a small research and exploration vessel. As we all know from Star Trot, research and exploration vessels are the ones all the adventures tend to happen to. Fire of Friendship does not buck the trend.

Bit of an experiment. This setting is inspired partly by Starfinder, as I originally wrote up the Ungula system as a location for a Starfinder campaign that never took off and decided I wanted to explore it anyway. I don't know yet if there will be an overarching plot.

After Queen Haven was informed by Zipp & Pipp of the annual Ponycon that was happening in Bridlewood, Sprout was assigned the task of taking care of Cloudpuff, but after being neglectful for the 3 day weekend, Cloudpuff starts to feel sick through a lack of food and water, Sprout must face the consequences of his actions.

This is a parody of "I Was A Teenage Gary" from SpongeBob

The clock struck 11 PM, and Apple Bloom was still awake, bashing her head into the paper-strewn table.

School can get her down, but luckily, she has an awesome big sister to drag her through it.

This story is a sequel to Crystalline Destiny

After his victory over the changeling queen Lilith from the Red Hive, Irradiance has settled into his new role as Princess Twilight Sparkle's student. With newfound fame and recognition, life seems brighter than ever for Irradiance and his friends. However, an unsettling disturbance brews in the depths of the Everfree Forest. An ancient Element Tree, once thought dormant, has reawakened, siphoning Irradiance’s magical power and threatening to undo his hard-earned achievements.

As Irradiance and his friends uncover a long-lost legend regarding a long-forgotten princess, will the stallion succumb to the loss of his power, or will he defeat this foe just like the last?

Princess Celestia and Big McIntosh have become engaged, and there are some matters which need to be talked through.

My first entry in the Dialogue only contest.

Although Equestria is now uninhabitable, Sea Swirl is largely happy with her current conditions. She's on a tropical island, surrounded by water and sea life galore. Nothing could make her want to leave.

Well, except her fellow creatures regressing and turning on each other. Hence the key word "largely".

However, when a creature once only heard of in stories comes forth and reveals herself, she sparks a new friendship and offers Sea Swirl a chance at keeping her life with a simple spitball that will change everything.

CW: The complete and utter butchering of aquatic science. Probably. My Google-fu is not good. You have been warned.

At the end of Ponyville Ciderfest 2023, the Chaos Faction won control over the Book of All Stories against the Heroes of Equestria and the Villains in the Dark, and Discord takes the book home with him. Then some of the loose pages end up flying into the void and wind up in the hooves of ponies across space and time once again.

This is my submission in Whinny City's "sequel" to Ponyville Ciderfest's Interactive Storytelling Adventure. #ItsJustAPlagueBro
