Five years ago, a disaster left low-Equus orbits swamped with orbital debris. The husks of dead ships careened through the aether, threatening any that might try to leave the planet. But now, it’s under control. Debris trawlers roam the skies, picking up those husks and carefully gathering smaller shards. Thanks to their efforts, bit by bit, space is becoming usable again.

Mesonox is a newbie on one of those trawling crews, recently hired to fly on DT Heavenly View. She’s aced the sims. She knows her ships. She knows her tools. She knows her techniques. And her crew just got assigned to grab a typical wreck. It’s a straightforward job: clean up the small debris, get the large debris under control to haul back to the scrapyard. The perfect task for a rookie like her.

Time to get to work.

The morning after an intense high can be pretty weird, especially when said 'high' was turning into a raging she-demon.

Beaten, humiliated, and forced to face her inner demons, to say that Sunset was not in a good place would have been an understatement. Yet, much to her surprise, her emotions were far more in control than the situation would have warranted. Whatever happened last night, it was messing with her, and now she had to deal with that, alongside the impossible task of making amends for what she tried to do.

Unfortunately for her, she isn't the only one feeling strange.

Fortunately for her, a certain someone doesn't think her situation is as hopeless as she does.

My own attempt at a classic fic premise, involving my favorite little bacon horse. Rated T for the occasional bit of bad language.

While not a direct sequel, this takes place in the same universe as Obsession and Ambition. They're not at all necessary to understand this story, but they are connected to this if you want to read them.

This story is a sequel to Cross the Rubicon: Choices

From the beginning, Spike was there, watching, listening...knowing things that he could tell no one.

He knew something bad had happened. He knew something was off about Sunset Shimmer. He knew something was hurting Twilight. But no matter how much he barked or howled, he could never explain what he knew to anyone--they would never understand him.

It didn't mean he wouldn't try.

He would give everything he had to protect his human.

A companion piece to my main story, Cross The Rubicon: Choices , from the perspective of Spike the dog.

Nightmare Moon has been defeated, but at too high a cost.

Princess Luna, Celestias little sister, has been trapped in the moon along with the demon. Celestia, in her desperation, reaches out to Harmony itself, hoping the maker of the Elements can spare her sister from such a fate.

What she finds is not what she expects, and what she learns will be too much for her to bear.

This story focuses on the aftermath of the Longsword civil war and the following Violet Revolution orchestrated by Golden Morning and the Naujoji Grifonija against Starry Night. The story follows Golden Morning's favorite military unit: The ISO (Interspecies Service Organization) made up of Griffon Knights from the former Rosewood Order, Pegasi warriors, Earth pony engineers, and unicorn mages all working in harmony to produce spectacular battlefield results. The story follows several different characters, but focuses on Pretty Pond.

A unicorn with fur fair-white and mane sky-blue: that's who Princess Cadance knew that she was destined for. Only, now she's starting to wonder if she chose the wrong one...

Luckily, there's a spell for that! Destiny will take her course, but there are ways to see what might have been. As one horn touches to another, a life unlived begins to play...

Suicide / Self-Harm: Wallflower tries to throw herself off of a cliff

info

a submission to the May Pairings Contest 2022.

reviewed by Stinium_Ruide.

this strange story idea began life as an entry to Nailah's Shipping Contest that did not get finished in time. the randomly generated pairing i was given was Wallflower Blush x Princess Skystar, and the original version of the contest had a set of prompts that included the pair waking up hoofcuffed to each other in the middle of nowhere.

the pony Wallflower Blush in this story was inspired by Sledge115's Wallflower of Canterlot

thank you to Rego, Dewdrops on the Grass, Sledge115, and The Sleepless Beholder for prereading!

The Great War has been raging for three years.

The Changeling war machine has destroyed countless lives, but the days of the invincible Changeling Heer are long gone. Their shattered supply lines have run dry, and the Equestrians have deployed fresh reserves from the East, furnished by the River Republic. The great counteroffensive has begun.

Everypony recognizes the war is in its closing days, but there is still plenty of fighting to be done. Tank commander Rising Glory answers a desperate call for help, unwittingly altering the course of history.

Set in the Equestria At War, Hearts of Iron 4 mod universe. The timeline is based on a personal multiplayer game.

Life in the streets is a constant struggle, even in a beautiful city like Canterlot. Hunger, danger, and persecution can easily lead to death or worse. Trixie and Sunset consider themselves lucky to have each other when facing the hardships of life.

They know that as long as they're together, they'll be able to survive anything the world throws at them.

Now part of the May Pairings Contest

I had so many problems with the production of this thing I swear it's cursed.

Special thanks to Dewdrops on the Grass, mushroompone, and Shrink Laureate for pre reading and helping me keep my sanity.

Extra thanks to daOtterGuy for the cover art.

The plan was simple. Set out on a tour of the most remote parts of Equestria, ones that had never heard of the Great and Powerful Trixie, for good or for ill. Spread some wonder, leave some memories, and get home without regrets.

(“Home.” What a strange concept…)

But it's like they always say: No plan survives contact with the audience.

A last minute entry (and second place!) in the May Pairings Contest. Rated Teen for references to alcohol and oblique discussion of suicide; no attempts of the latter are in the actual text.
