After the coronation of Twilight Sparkle, technological progress skyrocketed throughout the world, only helped by the discovery of a new kingdom of intelligent Deer to the far west, whose diesel-powered inventions revolutionized the modern world in a matter of years. Together, the scientist princess of Equestria and the Kralj of Cervinija have brought about a new golden age for the world.

It has been twenty years since her rule began, but, things are not as they seem under the surface. A secret conspiracy starts to rapidly unravel the world Twilight has built. The second-born son of Cervinija has died during a political meeting between the rulers of the world, an explosion killing him and the king of a unified gryphon kingdom, as well as critically wounding her and three more of the five alicorns ruling Equestria. Cervinija blames Equestria for the death of their prince and have declared war on it and its allies, bringing it's massive and industrial military to bear against the rest of the world.

Now it is up to Princess Flurry Heart, Prince Shining Armor, Royal Guard Captain Gallus, Luster Dawn, and the Equestrian Army to hold the line, and possibly put an end to the war before any more lives can be claimed.

This story is based off Iron Harvest and the Scythe Universe, of which I am a massive fan. Art of this story was done by the amazing Mix-Up, link to his accounts here;

Also, big thanks to my friend Yellow Jack, who helped me translate the language of the Deer into proper Croatian, so it flows properly instead of sounding like a google translate nightmare to any Croatian readers.

This story is a sequel to The Shadow Knows!

Woody Buck is a deer who has made a name for himself as an investigator of all things unfair, unjust, and corrupt. After hearing about something seriously wrong going on in Vanhoover, he decides to offer his services to Princess Twilight Sparkle to find out what's what. He ends up getting more than he bargained for as he smashes Vanhoover wide open, revealing the ugly corruption within.

This is essentially an alternate ending to the story "Accursed Mark". I disliked the cop-out ending and how rushed and meaningless it was. I decided to give it new life in the style of another mystery radio show I love so much: "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar."

After the events of another Everfree Thunderstorm, Fluttershy has a chance meeting with a strange creature she'd never seen before. He comes from a forest she's never knew existed, yet he came all the way to her abode to thank one of her forest friends. Their interaction is brief, yet both will walk away from this exchange with something unexpected- a better appreciation for friends.

Helmi Lehtisaari was one one lucky deer. Born to a family of wealthy fur traders, she was blessed with her own personal corporate fiefdom in the bitter permafrost of the city of Feslott near the Changeling border. She had all the reason in the world to live her life in luxury and peace among her brethren in a city where dawn and dusk melted together.

But underneath it all, she yearned for a blistering noon sun. A place both warmer in heat and hearts than the bone-chilling cold of her home.

Then one day, she ventured forth to fulfil her glimmering dream; fighting both family and her nation, making new friends and maybe escape a continent burning in its own flame.

Her journey would take months, but for Helmi, it all felt like one long day.

Her personal solstice.

This story is a sequel to Stay Golden

There are two things the Canterlot elite care about: blood and coin. At least, that is what a little filly has heard all her life. Young Marigold desires both... and with a strange amulet maybe she can have such things.

The dark shape beckons her, as does her own bloodlust. Her greed demands to be fed, and darker magics are willing to help her gain her fill of riches and ruin alike in the dour city of Manehattan.

If only the price was not a city.

A version of this story was scrapped and presented in a chapter of 'Missing Pages & Scrapped Footnotes'. The cover was commissioned from PurpleGrim40. Contribute to the TVTropes page! This is the SFW version of "Stay Golden" which I consider it the better, uncensored story. Posting permission granted by Majin Syeekoh. Edited by MissyTheAngle, Hellblazer, and Muggonny.

Swirling Cinnamon tells us about his tragic past, linking it all to two things, his father, and the pony race. After ponies built long running train tracks through Whitetail Woods, the deers that have already established their home had to learn to compromise. Some were separated from their family by the tracks. Eventually, timber wolves found Cinnamon's village and wreaked havoc, taking the lives of thirty deer. Eventually, the remaining deer left the village at once, leaving it to rot. Some two decades later, and Cinnamon meets a new pony. A yellow, shy pegasus, and he gets a new perspective.

Sensitive/triggering topics include:
some Gore and Death, paritcularly in Chapters 1, 5, and 8.
