The_Republic and The_Empire

Set in a war between the Solar Empire and Lunar Republic.

Twilight, Rainbow, and Rarity have to live with their choice on siding with the Solar Empire. Are their decisions good for them? How do they know for sure? How does it effect the lives around them?

Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Applejack find peace in the Lunar Republic. They are still concerned about their families and hope they are doing their best. Will conflict stir when Discord threatens to finish them off for good? Is Luna starting to wonder if she did the right thing starting this Republic?

And what of the background ponies? How are their lives changed because of the side they chose?

It all leads down to the start of The War.

This story is a sequel to Overprotective Sist... Friend


Rainbow Dash does care for Flitter, she's been adapting to her new marefriend over the last month but Cloud Chaser's poor condition continues to put stress on Flitter's already strained relationship with her own emotions.


This is the second part of the series I started a bit ago, shipping the main six with background ponies. Fluttershy will be released later, I have to chop this up a bit, as I'm currently writing five stories at once!

I've added an in story dating system to the stories as the stories are actually somewhat intertwined so for any of you who are reading all of them they'll be easier to line up, the dating system has nothing to do with the real world (except that they coincide with 2019 just so they can be more easily tracked.)
Note on crossover chapters. They are the same chapter in two stories because they are relevant to both. They will say with what story they cross over and have the same (or very similar) titles.
Other Titles:
Applejack and Coco: The Obvious Conclusion
Rarity and Minuette: Time To Model
Pinkie and Zecora: Secret No More. Romance Galore
Twilight and Cloud Chaser: Secret Visits
Fluttershy and Octavia: Not Every Song...

Diablo crossover.

Short stories set in the universe of my other fic, Justice Itself. Behold Tyrael and his life as a mortal pony, as well as a number of other things such as exploring Tyrael's interaction with background and other characters. The many tales of thing not important enough to take up space in the main story.

Spoilers for Justice Itself up to Chapter 17/18 / Act II.

Complete comment on individual chapters, unless you're commenting on all chapters at once on the main story page.

Many thanks to Sparklight for the cover image.

Story One, The Angel & The Dentist: Colgate encounters Paladin and finds out his...less than stellar dental care habits. Which is to say, he had none.
Story Two, When All He Wants is Peace & Quiet: Birthday prompt from Nealend86. Tyrael just wants to read his book, but keeps getting interrupted. Also: a bear.
Story Three, No: The Cutie Mark Crusaders want Paladin to fulfill his promise in a certain way. They just don't seem to know the meaning of the word no. Personal challenge to write a story where a character only uses the word 'No'.
Story Four, 'Chocolate' Eggs: So very, very HUGELY non-canon. Easter Special - Paladin misunderstands everything. Hilarity ensues.

Roseluck: arguably the smartest, bravest, and most outgoing of the three, though that isn't saying much, given the competition.

Lily: a paranoid nutcase with both a severe desire for attention and, unfortunately, an equally severe case of social anxiety.

Daisy: the bland, sensible one who runs things in the background, pretending she isn't as terrified as the rest of them.

Together, they are the Flower Trio, as craven a bunch of marginals as one could hope to find. At least they have each other. But the business slump and their own trigger-happy neuroses combine into a swarm of pests, devouring the flowers of their friendship, slowly but surely destroying something beautiful and precious.

Just when they're hoping it won't get any worse, Daisy falls into a deep sleep at the counter of the florist's. She doesn't wake up.

Now it's up to her friends, Lily, Roseluck, and Doc – the most scientifically gifted pony in Ponyville who isn't Twilight Sparkle – to find out what's going on in her mind… and whether or not they can even bring her back. Or at least bring back the Daisy they know and love.

I've been watching the big heroes from the shadows, seen them put on a pedestal and celebrated by the crowd. It's better this way... no one pays any attention to just another pony in the background. I've avoided a lot of trouble like this.
I'm not here to do the good thing, keeping to some sort of pure ideals. I'm here to do what I think is the right thing to do.
I'm here to do whatever needs to be done.


This is the first larger anything I've ever tried to write, so any and all suggestions and criticism are greatly appreciated! Cover art is out there somewhere, and I have only to track it down and subdue it into my service.

This story is loosely based off an 'X-Com Enemy Unknown' 'iron man' (No Quicksaves) play-through where I named the soldiers after a collection of my favorite background/side ponies. Behold a story where no pony is safe from death, behold a story where fate decided which ponies would stand up against the aliens and which ones would run at the sight of them.
With a unique plot different to 'X-Com Enemy Unknown' and enthralling side plots, this story promises to keep you entertained from beginning to end.
This is the story of those ponies who stood up against the aliens, this is the story of the ponies who gave up everything they had to defend Equestria.
This is the story of the Equestrian X-Com Project.

'MLP:FIM' is owned by Hasbro
'X-Com Enemy Unknown' was developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games.
'X-Com' was originally developed by Mythos Games and MicroProse

Have you ever wondered what goes on in Ponyville when the Main Six aren't involved? Probably not. Even if you have, how long did that though occupy your mind? Slice of Life was a nice break in the pattern, but the Background ponies obtained their own Main Six. The mysterious and modern Vinyl Scratch paired with the serious and serene Octavia created a nice pair. As did Secret Agent Bon-Bon and Human-Obsessed Lyra. Not to mention Doctor Whooves with his references and understandable character paired with the adorable klutz Derpy Hooves (Bright Eyes? Ditzy Doo? Muffin? Forget it.) with her love of muffins. All of these characters are great, but what about all of the others that got left behind?

In this story, you will be introduced to the life of Daisy. You'll see her thoughts, and what happens in her life. She may be in the background, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a story to tell, perhaps its even a rather relatable one.

I'll complete this as soon as possible. :twilightsmile:

Comments are always appreciated, and I'll try my best to respond to each one. Enjoy!

Timber a weather pony is assigned to a desolate stretch of nowhere when he gets a surprise visitor. Princess Celestia just wants to enjoy a nice Spring rain but everypony keeps rushing to keep the skies clear around her.

This is just a short story for not other reason than I thought it up. It is just a bit of background on captain timber a minor character from the Moonlight story.
It was just a fun little piece to write, I like to imagine what Princess Celestia likes to do when she takes off the crown so to speak. And How thousands of years of life can wear on a pony's mind.

Thank You to Frainkie2 for the proofread and edit. Thank you, sir, you are as always a gentleman and a scholar

A/N: I want to give a ton of credit to Aurora, who has been so ever so gracious as to proofread and help polish this fic to the Nth degree since chapter 5. She deserves a ton of love so please visit her page and check her fics out too!

This is also follow-up to my previous story, "This is enough..." While it's not necessary to read it, I encourage readers to check it out to gain some background on the universe I plan to write most if not all my fics in and around!

Disclaimer: This fiction was written prior to the completion of season 3 of MLP: FiM. As such, it may contain inaccurate story elements and similarities that are purely coincidental. Please keep this in mind while you read it and I hope you enjoy the fic!

The ponies' everyday lives if they were humans. Each couple of chapters is based on a different character. For example, first few is Derpy, next up is Rainbow Dash, then Fluttershy, etc. You get it. In this fanfic, they never WERE ponies and never WILL BE ponies. That's the point. I want to see what the outcome is if they are all human with the same personalities and such as on the show. Their full names won't be "Twilight Sparkle" or "Rainbow Dash" because that would be unrealistic. Those will just be their nicknames. Anyways, enjoy, and please comment, it's what motivates me to keep writing.
