Written for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Among Us Contest with the Imposter prompt "Running Out of Time"

Entry for Bicyclette's Science Fiction Contest 2023

Inspired by the video game The Sexy Brutale

Twilight is the one pony in the lunar settlement to ever graduate from the Divine Princess's School for Gifted Unicorns. But she's back home now, where the colonists are living under the oppressive hoof of officials from Equestria below. One day, she's called on to fix the spell-nexus that keeps the settlement alive with its magic, only discovers that it's alive... and it calls itself "Luna."

And Luna wants Twilight to lead a revolution.

Inspired by Robert Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, but not a crossover in setting or characters. Expect further updates later this summer.

Yes, there is a crossover tag, but read down to see why it's there.

Alexander Laythem is a master engineer who lives in isolation with his AI assistant, Rose. Unforeseen events result in these scientists and engineers traversing the boundaries of reality to a world that was supposed to be fictional, forever losing their place in the human world. With the help of some of the friendlier of the native inhabitants, Alex and Rose plan to rebuild and pick up their research where it left off. But as more knowledge is gained and technologies are developed, an ancient power with an insatiable hunger for control awakens, hell bent on bending reality to its whims with the single goal of creating and maintaining the perfect society. Takes place largely during season 2.

Rated teen because of the occasional use of "strong language." Also, if you're going to favorite it, please go ahead and leave a like as well! I truly appreciate each and every one!

I've added the dark and gore tags as of chapter 39: Full Force Forward. Should be worth noting that I will downplay the gore as much as humanly possible. It's not the focus of anything, but it's there. Most of the technological aspects are referenced from the Unreal franchise, hence the crossover tag. Keep in mind, however, that crossed-over elements from the games largely take a back seat and only serve as inspiration and setting. I'm focusing on the plot itself to make it as good as I possibly can, and I'm always going over it to fix little things here and there.

Special thanks to amazing Rocinante for pre-reading and editing!

This story is a sequel to Iron Hearts: Book 5 - Suffer Not the Alien to Live

An Age of Iron story.

Months have passed since the destruction of the Ork Space Hulk and the end of the war against the Waaagh that threatened to swallow the Centaur system and all its inhabitants.
The Iron Warriors' 38th Company is the absolute military power on the planet, and the survivors of the Lamman Sept and the ponies of Equestria stand with this mighty army of Chaos as they claim Centaur III as their own. Although the other nations of their world may not fully recognize the Company's dominance, it is no matter; the Iron Warriors make plans to return their cargo to the Eye of Terror and return to their eternal trade of piracy. The planet is secure, and can be shrouded by Warp storms at their whim. The natives are divided, weak, and anyway occupied fighting off the scattered Ork warbands. The military supremacy of Chaos is unchallenged, and bolstered by Equestria's reluctant, but hard-earned support.
As Ferrous Dominus expands its operations and the fleet performs its long-suffered duty, it seems nothing can stop the Iron Warriors and their equine allies. The denizens of this conflicted world start to hope that at last peace - if not a distinctly unstable and militaristic peace - has come, and they might start constructing a new, better future from the ruins of war.
But hope... is the first step on the road to disappointment.

This story is a prequel to Craftworld Equestria: Luna's Quest

Between myriads of stars, in the infinite void of space, drift the Craftworlds. Space ships the size of small planets, created to protect the remnants of a dying people, the Eldar.

Amongst them is one that is smaller and older than all others.

Its inhabitants left the Empire of the Eldar long before first signs of the impending doom came to light. And over millennia, traveling between the stars changed them. Today the other Eldar call them Pho’niy’ess. What roughly translates to “those of our people who are not our people”.

These are the stories of first Craftworld ever created. Stories of the Eldar who call themselves “Ponies”. Come, sit down and listen to what the Craftworld Equestria has to tell you.

Today we follow Equestrias supreme Farseer, princess Celestia to her garden. We're about to see how she spends her free time after her sister takes over for the night.

I'm a huge Warhammer 40k fan and after collecting Tau for quite a while I decided to start another army, after checking a few criteria I ended up with either Eldar, Grey Knights, Space Marines or something Chaosy to choose from. Chaos was out right away, same for normal Space Marines. And after the idea of painting my new army in My little Pony colour schemes I had to take Eldar. I mean, these guys are made for bright colours, they look fabulous!

Anyway, as time went by I came up with stories about all units I painted up. This here is just the first story I put to paper. And Celestia always makes a good starting point.

I will put out more stories based on my Craftworld Equestria so I hope some of you will stick around to read more.

The cover image was done by me by the way.

After a smash and grab mission goes haywire, the Master Chief finds himself in Equestria. As he meets the ponies we all know and love, his past with Cortana haunts him as he struggles with his new life.

But a threat who wants revenge makes their move . Will John 117 move on from the past to face the enemy, or will he not care and doom the ponies to their fate?

In the pony timeline, this takes place after Tirek is defeated. In the Halo timeline, it takes place after Halo 4 and before the events of Halo 5.

Edit 1: Changed the rating from mature to teen. Tell me if I should keep it the same.

This story is now cancelled after a long hiatus. I have started this story again from scratch in a new story I'm currently writing, A Pilot's Search

Sol is a Vanguard Titan Pilot in the Militia SRS, Maurader Corps. When he and his partner, BK-3891, are sent to retrieve the Grizzly Device Jack Cooper left at the IMC research facility, bad timing and an ambush leads to them being stranded in a barren desert with no life for miles around. How will they get back to the Frontier?

Or will they even get back at all?

Crossover with Titanfall 2

Takes place after Season 3, any episodes after season 3 will not affect this story, just makes it easier to shape the story (I stuffed up with Twilight's castle being in the story, but that is part of the story now, so I added an AU tag)

Gore tag, because Sol is a highly trained augmented soldier with a mech in a land with Ponies who have spears.

This is my first story, but don't go easy on me, criticise me how you see fit.
And sorry for description, will work on it later.

The cover art is a quick edit by me

And a friend of mine is writing a Titanfall story as well! (It's a Viper story so you better read it). Defanged
(He is now rewriting it)

(Star Wars/My little Pony: Friendship is Magic Crossover)

Riggs Dantion, an Imperial TIE-Defender Pilot of Shadow Squadron finds himself on an uncharted world after a horrible hyperspace malfunction. Forced to make planet fall and to make contact with the peaceful locals, this Imperial Commando will face new challenges. But, a dark shadow is starting to emerge from the horizon. One that will threaten this isolated world with the horrors of mindless conflict and endless war.

Will Riggs come out of his hard shell, look beyond his troubled past and help this world from ripping itself apart? Will he ever get his hyperdrive fixed and get off this strange rock? Will Riggs ever see his squadron again?

Only time will tell.

With the help of The Apparatus, Queen Twilight Sparkle had gained knowledge from innumerable divergent worlds. Using this newfound mystical power, she had conquered her world, united its varied peoples, and brought peace and prosperity to all through her own benignly neglectful rule.

Then Cadence, Princess of Love and the last of Twilight's family and friends, destroyed the Crystal Palace.

Along with everyone inside.

Why?

(Content Note: While the red tags are technically accurate, this is first and foremost a work of speculative fiction. It is not a gore fest.)

(Chronology Note: The crux of this tale takes place outside of continuity, in several of infinite possible futures. Its driftwood may touch upon any number of dimensional shores.)

A Queen of Light and Darkness story.

This tale was strongly inspired by Larry Niven’s All the Myraid Ways. Though I only read it once many years ago, it left a powerful impression on me, and you can definitely see that in this story.

Special thanks also to B_Munro, for recognizing the stories’ similarities and telling me who wrote that splendid story I’d read as a child, and what the name of it was.

Due to the nature of the discussion which follows this tale, there are comments - including mine - which may contain spoilers to varying degrees (depending on what you consider an actual spoiler). The more serious spoilers are behind the usual black boxes, of course.
