Without a purpose in her life, Tempest Shadow decides to harness the power of friendship for herself. Cause if Twilight beat the Storm King so easily it must be a powerful thing.

The only problem is that becoming friends is hard and each of the creatures she befriends are all odd. But Equestria is now a larger part of the world and Tempest has to deal.

If only Grubber wasn't way too into this.

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.

This Story takes place in the Equestria at war Universe, a mod for Hearts of Iron 4

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.

Uh oh, Fizzy Glitch has opened the Book of All Stories! Now you have to help decide how the stories end—but choose wisely. Will you pick the hero ending, the chaos ending, or the villain ending? Your choice can change the outcome of the con!

Well, no it won't, not any more.

For those who prefer, the stories are also still up on the app, which can be found HERE. There's a list of codewords in the first comment on the story for all my submissions.

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.

After Songbird Serenade's concert, Twilight Sparkle attempts to give Tempest Shadow a fresh start on life, but Tempest is anxious and stubborn, insisting that there'll be nopony that she can relate to heart-to-heart, the frightened townsfolk of Canterlot only adding to her attitude.

While attempting to restart the Mirror for a teleportation presentation, Twilight Sparkle causes a serious malfunction. Tempest tries to use her horn to blow a fuse and terminate the portal's magical power supply, but ends up overclocking the portal, which becomes overpowered and pulls them all in. Moments later they fall through storm clouds, eventually hitting hard pavement. Dazed, the group of friends finds themselves on the run-down streets of downtown Toronto, where they face even greater troubles - and a group of friendly faces.

WARNING: This story contains:
- Discussion about drugs
- Violence and some blood
- Cursing, though no vulgarity

P.S.: This story takes place after the events at the end of the MLP Movie. My Little Pony as a TV show and a franchise does not exist on Earth in this story, so no human knows of the characters' names or existence.

The storm king's army is broken and with his defeat, the hippogriffs once more wish to renew the pact of friendship they made with Equestria all those years ago. Giving princess Skystar the perfect chance to see her six new friends, and more importantly the pony she spent all night partying with.

Kink Warnings. Hoof holding, two girls having crushes on each other, a gratuitous amount of bad jokes and a single not swear.

Feather Bangs thought it would be nice to take a trip to Mount Eris where it was the home of the hippogriffs. During a hike, Feather accidentally fell into the sea and was saved by a female seapony. Since Feather thought the seapony was cute, he offered her a date in return of rescuing him. It wasn't until the night of the date when he finds out that the seapony who saved him was Princess Skystar, the daughter of Queen Novo.

A few days have passed since the defeat of the Storm King. And to celebrate the occasion, Queen Novo invites Twilight Sparkle, her friends and the princesses to a party at their kingdom on Mount Aris. Despite Twilight's hesitation, she agrees to come along after hearing some encouraging words from her friends.

After arriving at Mount Aris however, they quickly learn that Queen Novo's daughter, Princess Skystar, has gone missing. Twilight promises Queen Novo that she, the princesses and the rest of her friends will find Princess Skystar at all cost, but they'll slowly discover that something far bigger might be at stake.
