When Princess Twilight Sparkle founded the School Of Friendship, she sent out invitations for all kinds of species to send a member to attend and learn the ins and outs of camaraderie, one of which was the breezies.

Finally, after untold years of preparation, they are ready to send one such ambassador.

May Faust have mercy on his tiny soul.

When it comes to jobs, not everything lasts forever. Many positions that you find nowadays if you want to work at a government position are temporary. You would be lucky if your contract is extended or if you are brought on as a permanent employee.

Yet, not everyone is kept on and most of the time, employees are either transferred to another department or their contract isn't renewed. As they leave, they try to move on with their lives and try to find work elsewhere.

However, for one employee, moving on and saying goodbye to those he considers his friends is not that simple of a thing to do. Yet, his 'friends' show him that he doesn't have to be that way.

This... was an idea that had been spinning around in my head for sometime that I was unsure whether or not I should write, but finally decided to actually go through with it recently.

I wrote this as a way to test myself in other types of stories as well as an entry in Admiral Biscuit's Not-A-Contest. Yet, it's a bit of a different take on it.

Based on some... unfortunate circumstances that happened to me recently and I thought the best way to overcome what I have been dealing with is writing this. Apologies if it's... not up to my usual standard of quality

Thank you guys so much. This means a lot to me.

Gabby, knowing about the holidays, wants to share it with the rest of Griffonstone.

It’s the time of the year after all, so why not?

Written for Hammerhead for Jinglemas 2022

Yes I know. It’s very late. I stopped and never went back to it so I thought I’d publish it so Hammerhead gets to at least see some of what they asked for. I guess It wouldn’t be fair to not publish what I’ve written of it.

I’m sorry for not creating this on time. But I hope you enjoy.

This story is a sequel to Ernst Graustier and the Hoofmaiden's Crypt

Fed up with academia, Doctor Ernst Graustier has decided that remaining part of the struggle to be a professor of archaeology in a university is not the life for him.  Instead, he and a friend are offered an opportunity to get into the treasure hunting business by none other than Doctor Caballeron, who has an interesting prospect for the young former students; a minotaur ship, lost in a storm years ago, has suddenly been rediscovered.  Its cargo includes a kirin relic, sure to make them a fortune.  The race is on as Graustier and Caballeron have to beat other groups to the shipwreck, retrieve the relic and escape before the sea swallows it up once more.  But they are not the only party interested in this treasure…and some of their competitors are not so mundane in their nature.

Troy is a Gryphon who moved to Equestria to pursue a new life; however, his seclusion has left him feeling unsatisfied with how his life was going.

As time goes on and wounds start to heal, how will the Gryphon's life change as he helps the stallion struggling to regain control of his life?

This story is a sequel to [EAW] Revelation in Hellquill

After a year of upheaval, both Strawberry Duchy and Feathisia Duchy were now fallen under the control of the forces of the Griffonian Empire ruled by the Imperial Regent Archon Eros. In an accordance with the personal order from Archon Eros himself, the Imperial forces took great priority in capturing Duke Gerlach of Feathisia and Duchess Gabriela Eagleclaw of Strawberry Duchy alive no matter the cost. And even before the Empire could fully reclaim their respective duchies, both the Duke and the Duchess were captured in a secret hideout located within the remaining territories of eastern Feathisia by the Imperial agents. While expecting a severe punishment by the agents, Duke and Duchess were shocked when they learned that Archon Eros was waiting for them in the Imperial Capital of Griffenheim. A week later, they arrived in Griffenheim under heavy escort.

This story is a sequel to From the Dawn of Time

With the spring thaw of 6792AT (1008ALB in the Princess' Reckoning), the Socialist Republic of Skynavia launched a war that had been two decades in the brewing. With numerical parity, technological and doctrinal superiority and a devoted populace, the odds should have been vastly in their favour.
Reality however, is seldom so forgiving. Where the Skynavian command was divided and suffered from over-frequent reshuffles, the tribes united behind their Moot. Where the Skynavians expected to face spear waving barbarians, they met disciplined soldiers led by seasoned commanders.
This is not the story of the Battle of Firefly Bog, aid unlooked for in Braunles or even of a gruelling march through Ostfloy, however. This is a story about the aftermath of war in a world close to ignition point.

Second place winner of the First EaW Fanfiction Zone Writing Contest (https://www.fimfiction.net/group/216203/first-fanfiction-zone-writing-contest)
This is a short story set in the world of the acclaimed Hearts of Iron 4 mod, Equestria at War. It is canon to the Quenta Roccolië, albeit written as a standalone story.
Rated everyone, though there is PG level discussion of execution and slavery.
Thanks to Clear Skies-Roan for betaing.

Cover image is an old etching of Exeter Guildhall

William, is not your ordinary highschooler, he is introverted, quiet, a tad bit impatient, and has an obsession with firearms that others would consider downright creepy, he also happens to have a closet obsession with My Little Pony. One day after going to a sleepover he is brought to Equestria by Griffon, Dragon and Changeling mages and given the ability to summon any piece of military hardware he so wishes in hopes that he would lead them to victory against the ponies of Equestria. He is happy, but when he discovers their attempt to deceive him...

Ok, well... It really wasn't deceiving. Because they never told him who they wanted him to go up against. But regardless!....

Hegira (n.) - "A flight, or journey, to a more desirable place."

Life is a series of choices. When two worlds collide, choice becomes more difficult, and nuanced. A dying planet has a peculiar way of reshuffling people's priorities.

For a long time, humanity has only had three options: Ignore the inevitable, risk the unthinkable, or become the unimaginable.

All that is about to change.

Everyone knows the Ponies of Equestria fairly well... But here, there be Gryphons.

Book One of the Hegira Trilogy - This story only takes MLP G4 Seasons 1 - 3 as cannon, and ignores 4 and onwards.

At the end of the world, a programmer struggles with his need to be something other than Pony. Can he spar with an intelligence that goes beyond the sum total of Humankind, for the sake of fulfilling a weird quirk of self-identity?

Some rules within a machine are more like guidelines. And others are based on the definitions of words. Can semantics be a weapon big enough to give a Human mind a chance at one small request from a goddess?

Set in the Optimalverse - I recommend reading Iceman's awesome original first if you haven't - More because it is a really excellent story than because it is strictly necessary for context. I have endeavoured to make this story stand well enough without context as well. But that being said? You'll probably enjoy it more if you know the context better.

Cannon-compatible with the Optimalverse to the best of my knowledge and abilities.

Similarly you'll find many AI-generated illustrations throughout, again graciously generated in collaboration with Keystone Gray, then a little final photoshopping and other processing from us both.
