A fell power has risen on Equus, and many refugees have fled its clutches across the ocean to Aris, which now stands as the last beacon of Harmony in a world beset by war. Amidst this chaos, a reporter comes to the Royal Palace in Mount Aris to meet one of these exiles, and tell her story to the world.

You can see this as a sequel to Turning Over A New Loaf, since it takes place in the same timeline, but these stories can be read separately.

In an island bunker hundreds of miles from Hippogriffia's mainland, the nation's finest scientists and high-ranking party members anxiously await the countdown for the world's first thermonuclear bomb. In-attendance are Posada, the eccentric Communist revolutionary and Head of State of Hippogriffia. Terrafin, Posada's trusted scientist and friend, as well as project lead and architect of Operation Sunset. And finally, Posada's main advisor and very close friend, former Princess Skystar.

Today is the culmination of Posada's dreams and visions. The ability to harness nuclear fusion as a weapon, and perhaps eventually, harness it as a power source for long expeditions to the stars. However taming the power of the stars is far from an easy task, and leads to something no one could have seen coming.

Warnings: Mentions of suicide, depictions of injuries and blood, and implicit sexual content mentioned once.

Playing through Posada's full path in Equestra at War is recommended (because it's amazing) but not at all required. It just gives you more context on the universe and characters.

Posada was on top of the world.
The peaceful revolution of Hippogriffia was successful, Queen Novo abdicated. The former crown princess of Hippogriffia, Skystar, her cousin Silverstream, as well as Posada´s old reactionary friend Crack Lightning, joined the Revolutionary Workers Party and with her reforms starting to bear fruit, the World Revolution seemed closer than ever.

But soon after, at an official council meeting, comrade Hard Line proposed something questionable, to find and end the former Queen, ending the bourgeoisie and any risk of a possible counter-revolution. The majority of the council protested and a rift in the party seemed to have fromed. Tricking Hard Line into quoting the fascist Beakolini, Posada quickly shut down his proposal and humiliated her overzealous comrade, before warning him, that this rhetoric wont be allowed on the council.

Initially proud of her actions, days later doubts have started creeping into her mind. Was she too lenient on her former enemies? Was Hard Line correct to be cautious? Was her humiliation of him justified or the right thing to do to a friend and comrade? Full of doubt, Posada starts to question the stability and purity of the Party, as well as Hard Line´s place in it. Fearing that her revolutionary state will fall, like so many have before it due to infighting, Posada spends hours wasting away in her office. However a trusted friend may give Posada the courage and compassion to confront her doubts.

The Cover Image is a combination of Posada´s and Hard Line´s Portraits created by the wonderful Artists: Neither (Posada) and cadillac-dynamite aka Egil (Hard Line).

This story is more of less the product of my criticism of how Hard Line and Starry Eyes have a very minor role in Posada´s path and and their unclear relationship with Posada.
Its better explained here:Her One Weakness : equestriaatwar (reddit.com)

The goal of this story is to give a little bit more character to those two and to act as an inconsequential filler arc.

I am not the creator or writer of these characters in the Equestria at war mod, so i will probably mischaracterize them.

Nonetheless I hope you enjoy my story and criticizes it fairly.

I don't have character preferences, really, but I'd really like to see someone try their hand at a Hearth's Warming horror story in the style vein of my own 'Grogar' and 'Apple Valley.'

Gwen the griffon and her husband Gary the hippogriff are walking with their son to leave Griffonstone before an blizzard hits the city. But something else is in the city still….

(Set slightly in the future of Equestria and Griffonstone.)

Some hair-brained scheme by VOPS has seen a group of foreign reporters being invited to Vesalipolis for interviews with the Changelingian general staff, in an attempt to mend some of the PR fallout from the Olenian War. Coral Ridge, a journalist from Aris, has been paired off with Grand Admiral Lysander of the Kriegsmarine for an interview. This can only go well.

A fun little non-serious story, written with the help of the amazing Eltirion! Please go check him out for more stories set in the Equestria at War alt. universe, or just MLP in general.

The tugboat, for its size, is one of the most powerful craft afloat. And the Seaquestria Tugboat Company is the power behind the docks and waterways of Hippogriffia port. This... is Tugs of Seaquestria!

Based on the classic television series, TUGS, and something of a reboot of my RailVerse setting.

So, rather than an actual description, here's the story of why I wrote this: after the Cracfic Panel, Xepher had this big write-off, and I was like, "Hey, that'd be funny to submit a crackfic to as a group!" But the others... They didn't want to do it. So I threw this together myself anyway, and it came out BREATHTAKING.

So here it is, the crackfic I wrote for the Iron Writer competition at PonyFest Online 3.

Crazed hippogriff Star Glider is intent on transforming everypony in Ponyville into avian hybrids, using his latest creation, the Doom Fowl. Ferret Keeper must stop him; if nothing else, she can't afford to lose any more clients from her garden design business!

Nothing lasts forever, not even a planet. In the distant future, Equestria no longer exists, the land stripped of all its life and resources. As a final resort, the princesses who guarded their world put into motion the only plan that could save their people. Colony ships, each one led by a princess and sent to a different candidate planet, ensuring redundancy.

It was the best plan they had. But any plan needs to have room for adaptation. The planet of Eldyrea was not forgiving to Equestrians. To survive, those who landed had to accept a new change: the chimaera. They walk Eldyrea on two hooves, in the scales of dragons. They wear the manes of kirins and look through the sharp eyes of griffons. And for as long as they could remember, they were alone in the world.

When two young chimaeras, Nisus and August, find themselves face to face with the creatures of their legends, the secrets of how they grew from a seed of metal and magic will force them to question their identities as Eldyreans. United with their kind to face their new rivals, they will understand why they have been left alone under the light of a wild star.
