In the war against King Sombra and The Crystal Empire, there have been a great many ponies who have earned the title of hero. Some have shown toughness and a relentless spirit. One such hero is Rainbow Dash. Not even the loss of her wing or her best friend could stop her from fighting for Celestia and Equestria.

But how far is she willing to go? How much is one pony willing to sacrifice if it means an end to the war?

(Based on the Crystal Empire war universe of Cutie Re-Mark. Also shows one possibility of what may have happened to Twilight Sparkle in this universe.)

Ever the romantic idealist, Luna had always dreamed of a dark alicorn (gag...) to take her away so they could enjoy the night together.
When he suddenly appears, however, she soon learns truths--about herself, about him, about her sister, and about the alicorns themselves--that she would much rather have left hidden.

"No one's insane as Victor R. Cane."

Or so say the ponies of The Grassy Hollow. But Victor knows they're wrong. He's not insane. He's a visionary. They're all just too simple-minded to understand what his brilliant mind alone can comprehend. No one will listen to him though. He's an insane freak! Well, if he can't convince them of his amazing ideas, he'll just create someone who can.

And it'll be someone whose legacy will never die.

Story partially inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

A Changeling is being put to death from Canterlot imprisonment, and shares his thoughts and feelings mere hours before he is killed by a unicorn executioner.

My first real attempt at a short, sad story, so apologies if it isn't all that good.

Legend has it that centuries ago, before Zephyr Heights existed, there was another desert town in the foothills, named Zephyr. It burned down long ago.

A companion, but by no means a prequel/sequel, to this story. My entry to 2023 Iron Author, with some edits.

Things don't always go as planned. In the future, you can look back and see what went wrong. Retrospect, that's what it's called. Now, Spike sees the horror that has befallen Equestria, and writes to anypony willing to take up friendship again.

Why do they pick on me? Why are my stupid wings so weak? Why can't I fly like a normal pegasus? Why do I have to be different? I can't take it. I have to stop the pain. I have to stop the teasing. I'm sorry...... So, so sorry.

Follow Fluttershy through her mind as she tries to get through the pain in her life.

Hi. First post here. But my 9th Post at Fanfiction. This story is going to include action, adventure, sadness, some comedy, cuteness, and anything else I can throw in. I will be using episodes from the series too. The first one I will use will be Season 2 Episode 25.

This story is a sequel to Song of the Moon

Luna ponders what she has done by becoming Nightmare Moon, and what she wishes could happen.

Luna is prepared to what no pony has ever done before and weave magic raw with all that burns within her to forge a way to escape the ostracism she has endured. She cares not what she does to remove her shackles in order to save all.
