Legend has it that a keeper of the forest will come to protect the forest and every creature in it.

Contains slight blood, violence, and profanity in future chapters

Blueblood fled Tirek's initial attack, but his escort was caught in the middle of the Everfree Forest; he barely managed to escape into the woods where he was discovered by the local inhabitant, Zecora. As the days turn into weeks and with no sign of normalcy manifesting, the prince begins questioning his new routine, and that of the zebra in his life.

Can something more than magic thrive in their little corner of the Everfree Forest, or will both of their secrets be the cause of their downfall?

When a strange ship mysteriously appears and begins to harass the shipping along the Equestrian coastline, Princess Celestia sends the Elements of Harmony to investigate. Reports are odd to say the least, the ship is gigantic compared to normal standards, yet so fast that the fastest Royal Cutter cannot catch it, it requires no sail and usually attacks at night. Twilight and her friends enact a daring strategy to catch these pirates which unintentionally backfires and they find themselves the captives rather than the captors. Things are not looking good for the main six until they find that these pirates are not all they seem.

This story is a sequel to Darkwood

The timber wolves have been killing any ponies that dare to enter near the Everfree Forest, to avenge their creator, Darkwood. But has she really left the world forever?

After a surprise attack along her favourite patrol route, Princess Luna crashlands into the Everfree Forest, battered and broken. Outside the walls of the sanctuary of the strange pony that rescued her, the dangerous denizens of the Everfree lurk. Forced to remain in hiding while her sister secretly investigates, how will she cope under the mysterious canopy of the Everfree and without the luxury of her castle?

There is a thin line between a princess and a wild forest pony, thinner than a zap apple stem. Now it's up to Luna not to cross it.

Timber wolves, creatures of the Everfree forest. They're made of sticks and dark magic, but who made them? It was centuries ago, before the three ponies tribes were even dealing with the Windigoes...

When Twilight Stumbles upon a cave on her way Zecora's, she awakens something ancient, in fact its the reason the Everfree forest exists in the first place, so when she wakes up an enormous monstrosity half the size of Ponyville, she isn't expecting it to whine at her for waking it and saying it didn't want to go to school today.

What if this episode had a little more romance to it? What if Applejack had actually really hurt herself when that rock crushed her hoof? What if Spike was just a little bit older when this happened? Read this alternate version of "Spike at Your Service," to find out!

This story takes place in season 4! (Basically I picked up the episode and moved it forward since the events being moved doesn't really change the timeline all that much.) Also, let's pretend that Spike is now big enough to carry Applejack okay? This is MY universe! DON'T JUDGE ME! :3 That's why there is an "Alternate Universe" tag!

The Hakurei Shrine has disappeared. A strange thicket has taken its place, filled with an unnatural magic that is spreading rapidly and bent on disrupting the stability of Gensokyo. With the shrine maiden nowhere to be seen, it's up to ordinary magician Marisa Kirisame to bring back the shrine and its caretaker before it's too late.

Meanwhile in the town of Ponyville, a mysterious shrine has appeared in the Everfree Forest, fiercely protected by an equally mysterious mare. With the rest of Ponyville still shaken by the latest disaster, it's up to aspiring musician Lyra Heartstrings to discover the truth about the shrine and the mysteries within.

One pony noticed that the horrific myths surrounding the wildlife of Everfree Forest aren’t completely unbased, but the danger is oftentimes avoidable. She compiled her field notes in hopes of showing Equestria the true nature of the Everfree in its complex beauty of a well-working ecosystem.

Have you ever thought what’s the cause of the stench coming from the mouth of a hungry timberwolf? Why do parasprites reproduce in such a strange manner? How come that poison joke poisoning is really rare despite the blue flower blooming everywhere in the Everfree? This thin book may hold the answers that you seek. Let me present you Natura Semper Liberi, The Guide to the Nature of Everfree.

This old story went through a well-deserved revision in October 2020. The guide remains mostly the same, it was just adjusted for better wording, flow, and clarity. In other words, it's even better than it was before!
