Armed with the message of Friendship, Gilda and Gretta are ready to rebuild Griffonstone back to its former glory.

If only Rainbow Dash had actually suggested a Plan.

With little other idea, the two griffons have set off for Equestria to seek help. But on the cruise over, Gilda finds herself receiving advice from somebody she wasn't expecting.

(Honorable Mention, Everfree Northwest Iron Writer 2015)

This story is a sequel to A Chess Game

It's all just one big joke to her... isn't it?

She's just the joke, the Griffon for everyone to laugh at. The character that disappears off screen after everypony learned their lesson. She's just the Griffon, the antagonist, she doesn't have feelings.

Griffons are too tough to have feelings.

Naught but a luxury, I think it unneeded,
I don't want your friendship, I'll manage alone.
This is the lie that I told myself, it nearly succeeded.

Times sands slowly falling, it has now been shown,
I truly can't live without you close to my side.
Will I be given a second chance? It is unknown.

Answers, I seek. Time to stow away my pride.
Outstretched are my wings, I take to the skies.
Do you think of me too? Or have I been cast aside?

To make claims of my changes would be filled with lies.
But know this, I will change. I'll no longer be rash.
Give me this chance to prove I can revise.

While I drift ever closer, my emotions clash.
Please don't push me away when I do arrive,
My Rainbow Dash.

Sunset Shimmer has decided: she's done.

A too-close encounter with the magic residing in herself and her companions has convinced her that it's possible to embrace too much, and she's no longer willing to accept the risks—be it for knowledge, heroics... or her friendship with the other girls.

As always, desperate times call for Rainbow Dash.

Gilda: suffering loss, she follows clues left to her by the one who raised her, and begins to discover what happened to her people.
Tirgum: Living a peaceful life, a whispered secret and rising tempers could bring down the world as he knows it... and he may be powerless to stop it.
Luna: An outcast, trying to belong in a place where few will have her. But who she is and what she can do may change her life forever... whether she wants it to or not.

Alternate universe story where Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Flim & Flam, Suri Polomare, Lightning Dust, and Gilda are the main characters. What could possibly go wrong? A lot, in fact.

After an adventure to find the Elements of Irony to defeat Nightmare Moon, Sunset finds herself stuck living in Ponyville. Absurd comedy awaits as she and her friends acquaintances have equally absurd misadventures where no one seems to learn anything.

When Luna reappeared on Nightmare Night, she was no longer the small filly from before. Now an adult mare, she commanded the same respect and presence as that of her sister, Celestia. Many assumed that this was the result of her powers coming back to her naturally, but that was a lie happily perpetrated by both Celestia and the Gryphon Kingdom.

This is the story of Luna as she struggles with the remnants of Nightmare Moon and her forgotten past. The only clue she has is The Temple of the Stars where her small group of worshipers used to gather, which now lies in ruins and in the clutches of the gryphons. Some things were forgotten for a reason and the past always has a way of returning.

These two facts are well known by Gilda. Pulled along for the ride against her will, ghosts of a forgotten past have come crawling back, intent on dragging her back down to a fate worse than death. All the while, she seeks to preserve the innocence of those untouched by war and tries to protect Trixie from the harsh truth beyond Equestria's borders.

One wrong step and war shall erupt. One wrong step and the world will be plunged into a darkness that would rival Discord.

Hope is not a plan.

Friendship is Magic.

But sometimes, friendships can be broken, as was the case with Rainbow Dash and her friend Gilda. Now at the behest of Princess Celestia, Rainbow Dash travels to the North Griffin Confederation to try and make amends with her old friend.

But when an ancient ghost is accidentally unleashed, Dash and Gilda will have to work together to save the griffin town of Altenprow, before the town is devastated or they're both arrested by the State Security Ministry.

A Skitchverse story.

So I was relaxing in my room, replaying my oldest, yet still loved trilogy adventure: Baldur's Gate.
I'd passed the first book and was working on the second, and had just changed my Thief main character into an Assassin and input all the changes on the character screen, when, well, it happened.
Nobody told me my laptop was an interdimensional portal, and I suspect that normally, it wasn't. I also suspect that normally, it would have no power to change me into my main character either.
Who I was before is unimportant now. Who I am now is Marketh Shadeblade.
And I will do what I have to in order to survive, or more importantly, carve out a little niche for myself here in pastel pony land.
There might be one or two small problems with that, but it's nothing I won't be able to handle. Right?

Rainbow Dash never really bought that Gilda just became a jerk just like that, there has to be more to it, she was sure of it. This wasn't the Gilda she knew back at Junior Speedsters camp. Unfortunately though, she can't ask what went on through her head, for all Rainbow knows, Gilda is long gone. So what better way to learn about a griffon than to be the griffon? Convincing Twilight might be a whole other story though!
