Formerly named Broadcast: The Great War.

Colourful ponies reacting to humans, and eventually the horrors of industrialized warfare.

This story will be in the format of ponies and other creatures in Equus interacting/reacting with the sweeping technological improvement brought on by the humans, as they descend into total war. Idea originally conceived on 5/4/2025, also my first attempt on HiE.

"1908 AD (Anno Domini)—Equivalent to 1003 ALB (After Luna Banishment)

Cenbaphae (lit. "star-like formations" in Sylvestinian)—the continent of the Humans: a race of magicless, featherless, and partially furless bipedal mammals, averaging approximately 1.71 metres in height—or 3.42 hooves tall. Their elongated, lanky limbs end in peculiar minotaur-like appendages known as hands and feet, and their bodies, while uniform in structure, vary widely in pigmentation and appearance. Capable of both great deeds of good and monstrous evil. They are divided into myriad of nations—republics, kingdoms, empires and more—they are distinguished by diverse ethnicities and rich cultural tapestries, spread broadly across their homeland.

Their sudden arrival in our world was met with widespread anxiety—and no small amount of curiosity. A great magical storm accompanied their transmigration, stirring fears across Equus of a possible return of the Storm King. These concerns were only eased when Pony explorers, dispatched by the Alicorn Sisters, confirmed the existence of the new continent and the new strange race inhabiting it.

Thankfully, first contact proceeded peacefully. The Humans welcomed the ponies with friendship and cooperation, and before long, they were formally introduced to the world stage through Equestria. As trade routes opened, human technology spread like wildfire—transforming societies across the world almost overnight.

The Humans’ advanced mastery of metallurgy, engineering, and chemistry—combined with local magic—rapidly ushered in an age of sweeping industrialisation: an era of marvellous innovation, population growth, and deeply unsettling, rapid change.

Yet, Cenbaphae was far from the peaceful, technologically enlightened and magicless land many had imagined. Dubbed "a powder keg" by human historians, the continent simmered with long-standing rivalries, territorial disputes and imperial ambitions—like a keg of explosive powder, waiting to explode. It took only a single gunshot to ignite the conflagration—plunging the continent into a devastating conflict.

One that would reveal the darkest depths of industrialised warfare, the future of warfare—and expose the duality of man and creature alike. A war that would show just how monstrous even the most civilised, peace-seeking beings could become. Though it would be known by many names—The War to End All Wars, The Great Powder Keg—one would echo loudest across Equus and Cenbaphae alike:

This story is a sequel to Flurry Heart's Story: Calming of the Storm

Tirek is brought before Twilight and sentenced to a mandatory reformation class with Fluttershy and Discord while Flurry and Spike tag along for the day to see if it works. Tirek seems to eventually come around until they discover the truth about his motives. Can they actually change the centaur criminal's heart or will his unfettered hatred keep him from listening?

Inspired by the official show, this is part of a fan-made sequel series I created called "Flurry Heart's Story", which documents the adventures of Flurry Heart as she makes friends and faces new and familiar villains, some of which may still be redeemable.

Next story: Apple Family Memories

The End of Harmony, once shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, is at last bought to light through a series of letters discovered in the shattered ruins of a castle long abandoned to the earth.

Yet those letters reveal not just a lost history, but an uncomfortable truth that puts to rest a mythos millennia in the making, to part space for something new.

Some of the many random story prompts and concepts that I've written. Don't expect anything particularly high quality.

Will update whenever I feel like it.

Rated Teen for potential lewdity.

A young princess in search of a kingdom, who lost her heart to an old foe.

A would-be empress who found a higher purpose in the mare that stole her heart.

Flurry Heart and Cozy Glow know that the world is theirs for the taking, and that one day they shall take it for themselves. But for now, they have found peace in one another, atop a hill in the outskirts of the Crystal Empire.

A series of vignettes about the power of love, and the love of power.

This story is a sequel to Flurry Heart's Story: Apple Family Memories

Everypony is thrown into panic when Cozy Glow shows up as an alicorn once again, wearing the Alicorn Amulet and accompanied by her parents (who are also somehow alicorns). Once she gets her revenge on Celestia, Luna, and Discord for turning her into stone, there is little chance of defeating Cozy with the amulet on. Flurry and her friends worry over what Cozy has planned, but a quick visit from Starswirl the Bearded changes everything when he shows Flurry an artifact that may be able to counteract the amulet. Can Flurry stop Cozy from going mad and taking over all of Equestria? And just who are these mysterious parents of Cozy's? Surely they can't really be alicorns. Are they even her real parents for that matter? After all, no loving mother or father would rear their daughter to do such a thing!

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Nine Elements Book 2

The story continues with season 3.

This retelling is partially inspired by SuperPinkBrony12's MLP (What If?) series. (Start here if you're interested.)

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If?: Volume 8

The ninth year of the show, eight whole seasons, seven main characters, six times in a row, five episodes from Season 8, four multi parters, three years of double releases, two volumes each, and one more release before the end of the show! It's that series which seeks to answer the fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

There's only ten episodes to cover this time around, five from Season 8 and five from other seasons. This includes a redo, and a rewrite of two two parters, and some episodes that have been on the backburner for a while. Some other episodes will also be getting a touch up, and one will even be getting an interesting retooling to fit a possible idea. But which one that is will only be answered if you read the releases.

As always, the same disclaimer applies, the episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.

And of course, I mean no disrespect to Hasbro, the DHX writing and editing staff, or anyone who likes the episodes that appear here. The intent of this fic, like all of its predecessors, is for entertainment purposes only.

You can access the first volume from the main page of my account, and from there you can follow the links to see what episodes have already been rewritten in Volumes 1-8. To list them all here would take forever. Be sure to check them all out.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If?

Back by popular demand, this is the second installment that seeks to answer the question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

This time, we're including episodes from Season 4 as well as a few Seasons 1-3 episodes that didn't make the cut last time around.

As always, I mean no disrespect to the DHX staff responsible for the episodes, or the people who like the episodes listed. But the episodes included are my personal opinion, and I ask that you all respect them.

So if you don't like that an episode you liked is on the list, or an episode you didn't like is not on the list, then don't read.

Thank you,

This story is a sequel to Harry Potter and the Crystal Empire

Hogwarts castle has landed in Equestria—and the foundations of the Crystal Empire with it. The stir this caused in both worlds resulted in an exodus of magic and magic-users to Equestria as the precious crystals that were the source of Earth's magic were now all gone.

When the portals slammed closed, the landscapes were once again set in stone. The wizards of Earth, descendants of the crystal ponies who'd been stranded there thousands of years ago, were doomed to a world bereft of a magic source. In Equestria, however, several nations now had to contend with a new species taking up residence within their borders.

And finally, the students and teachers of Hogwarts who'd slipped through to Equestria before the portal closed have a little bit of breathing space. Time to settle into this strange new world and establish themselves before the start of the new school year.

Note: bump in rating to T is to cover my butt for a bit of swearing.
