This story is a sequel to Rider on the Storm

For the briefest of moments, Anonymous wielded absolute power. He single-handedly destroyed the city of Canterlot, laid waste to Ponyville, decimated the Everfree Forest, and came dangerously close to annihilating the very Tree of Harmony itself. And he had an absolutely fantastic time doing it.
Right up until he lost.
Now he's stuck as a statue under the watch of the princesses he tried to subjugate, awaiting the time he'll be locked away forever, with the key no doubt thrown into a volcano. But from the very beginning, Anonymous suspected that the shenanigans of the good guys would cost him his victory at the last moment, and so he laid plans with his most loyal of subjects—all former soldiers of the Storm King he betrayed to obtain his power—to arrange for his release should the opportunity arise.
Unfortunately, he wasn't counting on the ponies calling in help from a faraway land. Enter the Four Princes of Zebrica, all wielding the same exact power that Anonymous did, and knowing a thing or two about how to put bad apples like him away for good. This is made even worse by the sorry state of Anonymous's storm beast forces, having hit hard times in the months since his defeat.
But not all is lost for the petrified supervillain. Because in a rare twist of luck, the Princes just so happen to unknowingly bring with them a zebra criminal with his own dirty little secret. A secret that not only secures Anonymous's release from captivity, but just might be the start of a horrifying new partnership, and with it, the birth of a new force of evil.
And of course, with all that going on, there's always the matter of the nascent Legion of Doom, plotting to bring their own age of darkness to Equestria as well...

Takes place during the final two seasons of Friendship Is Magic. With a few alterations here and there, because I HATE THE ANTI-FIM I HATE THE ANTI-FIM :bread:
Reading Rider on the Storm is strongly advised if you want any idea of what the hell is happening in this story.

Fire.
Panic in the streets.
Canterlot lies in rubble and ruins, the citizenry in chains.
Calamity has come to Equestria.

But that's none of Derpy Hooves' concern. Leave that mess for the Heroes to deal with (they always win in the end, right?). Besides, she's got her own problems to deal with. Problems that take the form of a very tall and intimidating figure engaged in a very one-sided affection.

Princess Skystar has heard such wonderful things about Hearth’s Warming from Silverstream that she wants to introduce it to Seaquestria. Queen Novo doesn’t mind the idea, so she’ll go research it for a minute and—what happened?

Written for PacifistDoodl3r for Jinglemas 2022.

This story is a sequel to What's Your Problem?

With the second semester of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s school of Friendship in full swing, a series of field trips is planned to foreign nations.  Specifically, the home countries of the five non-pony exchange students. These will be both a gesture of goodwill on all sides, and a chance for the various cultures to be exposed to each other first hoof, claw, and talon.

Follow Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, and Sandbar as they continue to mature while learning about the countries their friends come from.

This is my second long-form story on here, meant to be a deeper exploration of the Student 6 and their homelands. Expect a lot of soft world-building and minor character development, and if you get any ideas for your own fanfictions from all this exploration, good for you! :3

The arcs, in tentative order, will go through...

• The Hive (Changelings)
• Mount Aris (Hippogriffs)
• The Dragon Lands (Dragons)
• Yakyakistan (Yaks)
• Griffonstone (Griffons)

There will also be interludes which explore the Young Six and other students, with more detailed character development / analysis than the first one.

(Takes place after the events of "The Return of Tempest Shadow", slight spoilers for those who haven't read the comics.)

Since the Storm King's defeat Tempest (a.k.a Fizzlepop Berrytwist) has worked to change her image and make amends for her troubled past.

But in order to do so she must apologize to Glitter Drops for being so hard on her, something that is easier said than done.

However, it seems Glitter has some suggestions for her friend, not only about how they can mend their friendship but also how Tempest can (hopefully) find a purpose for herself.

Imagine being an ordinary citizen going about your day with no idea that the Wakanda battle to protect the Mind Stone is even happening. And then suddenly, your friend, your family members or even you begin disintegrating into dust. You have no idea what it is, what's causing it and you can't stop it.

That's exactly what the ponies of Equestria felt when Thanos snapped his fingers.

After the Storm King's defeat, the Friendship Festival was finally able to start. The Mane 6 are finally able to say goodbye to the new friends they made on their journey.

Major spoilers for My Little Pony: The Movie

The feared, legendary sorcerer Grogar has returned to Equestria, plotting to reclaim the land of the ponies for himself. To accomplish this, he has recruited all the villains who have rejected friendship, and now this villainous league will fight to bring down Twilight Sparkle and her best friends.

My take on the Legion of Doom. And no, Discord won't turn out to be Grogar.

This time, this huge celebration of the good times in Equestria and its friends can't possibly be stormed by evil people in skyships. We have every contingency prepared for, and didn't give the guards the day off. We got this.

Twilight catches wind of a global leader that has no contact with Equestria. This will not stand. Fortunately, she's already made friends with one of their citizens and is ready to set sail to adventure! A journey to the pirate's home island to meet and speak with the people affected by the Storm King, and especially their reclusive leader, the so-called Lord of Pirates.

Can Pirates even have a lord? Twilight can't wait to find out!
