It has been about 7 months since The Great and Powerful Trixie took over Ponyville using the dark power of the Alicorn Amulet. Since then, Trixie has been trying to turn over a new leaf performing at a bar in Fillydelphia. Even though most of her fans have now ostracized her, she at least has a new place to stay, and some food to eat. Trixie wished her life would turn around for the better, but she just did not know how to go about it. After a twist of fate occurred by rescuing the princess of the night from the forest near her home, Trixie figured it was the perfect opportunity to seek what her power truly was, and how she can be just as useful as Princess Twilight Sparkle was for all of Equestria. This resolve to find out who she truly is will take Trixie on an adventure that she will never forget. Through the rigors of training, to finding a couple of lost magical artifacts, Trixie will have to endure the hardship of dealing with her past, and the struggles she faces internally when it comes to her ego and her bad habits which drive her potential friends away. Will she finally be able to prove not only to herself, but also to the rest of Equestria that she is truly the highest level unicorn? Bring along your adventure map, your laughs, and a few feels for this Great and Powerful ride you will not forget!

...I beg your pardon?

When one has been alive that long, one gains a lot of experience and learn some valuable lessons. How to stay alive, how to separate chiffon and georgette and how to get your crush to notice you.
Ok, perhaps not the last one. Apparently Twilight Sparkle don't get subtle hints. But then, when you are a supernatural being with some rather enthralling powers and opportunity knocks...

Really, darling, it's not like some good, old-fashioned mind-control could hurt someone! Right?

Right.

Gale is a Cloudsdale-born Canterlot pony. His mother, a pegasus called Gust, insisted that Gale had to be born in Cloudsdale to "feel the real wind in his wings." Nevertheless, she moved in with Gale’s father, Goldstein, a Canterlot aristocrat. Despite their residence being in the capitol, Gale still frequently visited his family in Cloudsdale, went to Junior Speedsters and lived the life of a normal young Cloudsdale pegasus. However, his father tried to make him more like himself – high-class.
Young Gale didn’t like being tied down with rules like that – like most young pegasi, he yearned for wind in his wings and a vast sky to fly through. This led to some problems with Gale’s father, naturally. Gale’s mother – a free spirit herself – supported her son instead.
As Gale got older, he – like most of his peers – wished to be admitted to the Wonderbolts. While a competent flier, he wasn’t anything extra. Nevertheless, he tried hard, trained and pushed himself to the limit. He even moved back to Cloudsdale so he could devote all his free time to practice.
During the Wonderbolt’s try-outs – a large lap through and around Cloudsdale – everything changed. At first, Gale’s agility and hours of training won him the first spot, but he soon found himself competing against a faster, stronger opponent, Blaze. Gale pushed himself like he never did, almost reaching supersonic speed. However, the track was mainly plotted with agility in mind. In a sharp turn, Gale lost control and crashed to a building.
The young pegasus was hurt during the accident. Not only he broke his wing, but he lost his left eye. His wing healed, but not perfectly. Coupled with the eye injury, Gale was shamed and broken. He knew he could never make it into the Wonderbolts now.
The pegasuse moved back to Canterlot, pondering the meaning of his life. He was rescued from his depression by his old schoolmate, Fleur. The pony shared his dream of joining the Royal Guard and insisted Gale would be a welcome addition as well. Reluctantly, Gale agreed.
The two friends trained together, quickly rekindling the almost-forgotten friendship of their youth. Eventually, they both got admitted, being mistaken for brothers at times.
Even with a promising career in the Guard, Gale sometimes still finds himself thinking what life could have been were it not for his injury.
Could he have been a Wonderbolt?

Would he have won the race?

But more importantly, would Fleur still become his best friend?

When Battle Ready arrives in Equestria, it is with one goal in mind: Escape. Escape from his own horrible past. He has fled his homeland and has made a life for himself among the ponies of Ponyville.
But the past is never dead. It is always there and sometimes it catches up with us. And nopony knows this better than Battle Ready.
Contains Anthro ponies.

"If I have to taste that kind of suffering, then it's better just not to have friends from the start."
— Shinji Ikari
"I've learned that friendship isn't always easy. But I believe without a doubt that it's worth fighting for."
— Twilight Sparkle

Shinji thought his life couldn't get any worse. Getting beat up at school, being alone all his life with no one to call a friend, and saving the world without any acknowledgment or appreciation were just a few of the things that made Shinji regret coming to Tokyo-3. A lavender unicorn with a tiara falling on him while he was taking a bath didn't exactly help his ego either.

Fantastical cover-art done by the amazing Doctor Tastybeaver.

An MLP/Neon Genesis Evangelion story.

If you haven't watched Evangelion before, I suggest that you don't. It keeps the story as a new experience like I intended of it. Currently rebuilding, probably a better idea to check this out later when the next chapter pops up.

P.S. First story. Yay.

The County of Longsword is a battlefield. Ruled by a mad griffon count obsessed with "purifying" his lands of ponies, it is caught in between his loyal Reformisten and the Partisan resistance.

A small village deep in Longswordian woods is caught in the crossfire, as much as they, and the young Morning Boop, would want to be as far away from the fighting as possible.

Entry for the 4th Equestria at War Writing Contest, 2021.

The Dragonborn was a hero amidst the people of Skyrim. He had dealt with all manner of atrocities, falmer and bandits, undead and dragons, nothing had been able to stand in his way. But when a necromancer's spell throws him into a very mysterious and unknown land, he finds himself, for the first time in his life, overwhelmed. Now he must fight for friendships old and new, but in Equestria, nothing is black and white, and nothing is as it seems...

"Each event is proceeded by Prophecy
But without the Hero there can be no event."

Quick Note

This character is based somewhat off my actual Skyrim character, a level sixty-something khajiit named Dar'Jzir (In this his name will be Do'Jzir). Feel free to like and dislike on your opinion and please leave constructive (keyword being constructive) criticism in the comments.

Because I've been asked this about twenty times, updating will be very bloody sporadic. Do not expect constant updates, I simply don't have the time to write that much. Sorry. Also, if you are following this, please for Celestia's sake check up on my blog posts. I use them to ask important questions and the more help I get the faster I can toss chapters out.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading it, thanks.

Who am i?

My Host

Who are you?

Yours

How long has it been?

Years

Years of violence, training, murder and a whole lot of trauma and even more training.

Years of him in that hellhole, he was tired, drained, he was sure he will never sleep in a bed ever again not because it wasn't comfy but because it was too comfy.

He thought that if he finished school quicker than everything would be done, he could go back home and feel safe. He was wrong and he was forced to survive in a world just to find a way back.

He just wanted a home, was that really so hard?

He just didn't expect to actually be sent back home.

To a home, he thought he had forgotten.
