They say minotaurs live by the scars they bear. Bismuth's hide is a map of the world. His life was the blade, and the blade was his life, carried unto a hundred red fields, down a thousand roads, singing among elk, deer, and dragons. He stood at ramparts long since fallen, and was counted a hero in lands forgotten, when ponies had only begun to dream.

Maybe it's all true, but now he rocks in his chair, stirring at embers, while his deeds turn to rust in the shadows. What kind of scars call that living? And if you ask him, would he tell you?

Princess Luna was never loved amongst her ponies. Her older sister Celestia always got all the attention. Princess Luna even questioned herself why she even became a princess. Her Ponies never bothered to look at the night sky. All they cared about her sister's warming sun.

One night she found something in Everfree forest. Something that changed her entire life.....forever.

It was a child. A child named....Ori who is a Spirit Guardian who was separated from his father the Spirit tree.

Luna took Ori in and raised him as her own. She loved him so much that she began to change more and more. Luna began to care more about being a mom than her royal duties. They had happy life together, but not all good things last forever.

Luna is banished to the moon. A giant owl named Kuro takes the spirit Tree's light and Everfree forest begins to dye and starts to attract hostel creatures like Timber Wolves, Manticores, Hydras and Cockatrices.

Will Ori ever set Luna free ? Will he help Sein get to back to the Spirit Tree before its too late ?

Discover what really happend before Luna became Nightmare Moon. Discover the true secrets of Everfree forest. Discover how everything in pony history came to be. COMPASSION is Magic

Umbrum is just a simple lovestruck miner in Canterlot, he's known as a rather hardworking earth pony working in the infamous Crystal Caverns for his ends meet; At Least that's what most ponies know on the surface but not everything meets the eye.

Especially when some rather nosy ponies decided to dig into his nonexistent past.

He knew that the way to Celestia's heart would have its troubles but to this extent!?

This Sombra is based on the Sombra from the IDW's Reflections Au.

Teen is there just for precaution.

RGRE because everything is always fun in that world

Every citizen of the Crystal Empire seemed to go through memory loss after the 1,000 years banishment. What if King Sombra did as well?

This story is a sequel to Gods and Monsters

Sunset Shimmer, daughter to Princess Celestia has returned to Equestria from the other side of the Lunar Lock Mirror to spend 30 moons with her family and friends. One year into the current cycle Sunset has become depressed and short tempered with frustration, missing her wife and is in need of time away from Canterlot.

To change things up as well and fulfil the promise she made to spend more time with her mother the two head out to a white sandy beach island. However, there are strange things going on. There is a great unease about, the locals are moving about like lost castaways, and the hotel's owner/operator seems to be in on whatever foulness is about.

Can the two resolve the mystery of Pelican Island and have a good time doing it or will they just become the latest victims of the 'curse?'

Takes place during the time gap of Chapter 2 of Gods and Monsters.

Ending up living with ponies wasn't the plan. Not at all. Not that I really planned on leaving the Dragonlands. But perhaps i'll stay, it's not like the idea of going back to unfriendly dragons is appealing. I'm gonna record everything that happens to me, might help me remember things in time.

Note: For this Story, the Alternate Universe tag, refers to the timeline and events of the show and comic books being extended/slightly altered and gaps of the show being filled in from this Point of View. SEX tag is for suggestive terms.

Timberwolves: Guardians of the Everfree
_{By Blackthorn of Thicket, Princess Luna of Canterlot, and Apex of Everfree.}

This volume explores the colorful, mythical tale of the Everfree timberwolves. Part history and part study, the authors provide their experiences, discoveries, and stories. From creation, design, and communication, to the ecological impact of these golems, a full breadth of topics are explored. Each author has hoof-crafted and raised at least one timberwolf, and today the legend of the Vorku species is finally shared with the world.

It's simple really.

I get Isekai'd into the body of magical Genghis Khan moments before he begins his conquest for world domination.

Universe, Say hello to the new and improved STORM KING!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough cough* ow... my throat...

Warning: This story contains anthropomorphic animal people, an evil king building an evil empire, the power of friendship, not so evil plans for world domination, boring magic rainbow sunshine world politics, and a protagonist who really doesn't want to die.

Enjoy ;)

First Feature: February 9th 2023

I have no idea what happened. One second, I'm sitting at my desk, working. The next second, I'm Sombra. Or rather, I'm in his body. And nobody seems to believe me about it...

Now with (amazing!) cover art by Mix Up. You can find their work here.

After having fought and won many battles against the changeling Queen, Princess Celestia always hoped that one day her offer of peace would be accepted and that Chrysalis would walk in her castle as a friend and not as an enemy.

She did not think it would happen like this. She thought the changeling would come in through the door rather than the window, for starters.
