Instead of being defeated and turned to stone, Discord made peace with Equestria, opting to rule a land where condemn criminals and outcasts are banished to.

But of course, all things are relative. After all, Discord's tyranny is benevolent compared to the warring Queens, Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon

The kind of coup of which Chrysalis has dreamed since her idiot sister took the throne.

My entry into FanOfMostEverything's Imposing Sovereigns II contest, as the Coronation of Queen Chrysalis.

“For I would rather betray the world, than have the world betray me.”

Thrown away by the outbreak of war, the heroes of Equestria face themselves against one of the most powerful and destructive force they had once reckoned with many times before.

Not only that, but everyone is against the century long monarch of harmony. Armies are being put up. Coups are being held. The dictatorship of one’s nation against the people is getting stronger by day, by night.

With reasons, come actions.

And with that, begins the saga of the war that will separate friendships and tie new ones.

Thrown into chaos, war is everyone’s refuge.

King Guto embarks on a perilous quest to seize an artifact which may hold the key to reclaiming Griffonstone's greatness. But when a mysterious hermit offers another choice, Guto faces his greatest test as King. Griffonstone's fate is in his talons.

Formerly known as: "Unexpected Adventures in the Life of a Changeling"

Zach was an average guy with an average, boring life. He went to work, paid his bills, and partook in what escapism he could get from videogames.

When he wished he could get something more out of life besides videogames and dead end part-time work, he didn't mean being transported to a world based on an old cartoon show that he was a fan of five years ago.

He especially didn't mean being turned into a ravenous, emotion eating, horse-shaped, insectoid.

Now he has to figure out how to live life as a Changeling and navigate an Equestria that doesn't seem to follow along with everything he remembered from the show. If he's lucky, maybe he can find a way back home, or at the very least, figure out how to "bug-pony"

In one plane of reality, Pinkie Pie sees everything that Chara went through and proceeds to setup a situation of eternal annoyance and frustration.

In an entirely different plane of reality, Pinkie Pie sees Chara's situation and, despite everything Chara did afterwards, not to mention the chaos Tzeentch and his lackeys have undoubtedly sown by this point, proceeds to help her recover from it in the only way she knows how: by warping reality.

An alternate ending to New Chaotic Friends! that gives a decidedly more hopeful ending for Chara, as well as to show just how far Pinkie Pie will go to help someone smile when they clearly need it.

Spoilers for both Undertale's Pacifist and Genocide Runs, though given the subject matter and the game's age those should be expected.

Decades after the founding of Equestria, the nation faces an existential threat -- a war with the dragons.

The dragons have proposed a truce. Luna and Discord are uncertain, but Celestia insists that they must give the dragons the benefit of the doubt, and accept the truce.

This turns out to be a mistake.
