Thirteen years is a long time, yet old wounds have a habit of coming back to haunt those who bear them.

The Princesses of Equestria decided to spare the holdout villains, offering them counseling. Humbled from prison and asylum, shown kindness and acceptance where there should have been punishment and hatred, the last barriers of the unredeemed disintegrated like sand before a wave. Their rehabilitation fell under the auspices of the Princesses themselves, as well as Starlight Glimmer - the preeminent redeemed villain. The tensions of the past saw the Royal Family of the Crystal Empire sundered, but it also saw new families created in shocking arrangements.

A teenage Flurry Heart struggles to make friends at the School of Friendship, confused and angry at the divorce of her parents and their remarriage to the Crystal Empire's greatest enemies. An adult Cozy Glow struggles to forge a path of her own in a world that refuses to forgive actions she made as a filly. Chrysalis and Sombra struggle to adjust to life as domestic spouses, and loving step-parents to the youngest alicorn. Tirek struggles not to give into his hunger for magic. Everyone else struggles to accept this new paradigm, to forgive the final holdouts.

And, unseen by all, a final darkness stirs, enticing a filly with promises of power.

Alright, this was a project I was working on for... well, a few months at least. 10 chapters complete, I figured I'd upload what I have. It started as a simple fic about a what-if situation where Flurry Heart tries to adjust to her parents being divorced and remarried to the greatest archenemies of her foalhood, but evolved into a story about all the unredeemed villains.

Unusual for me, I've kept shipping to a minimum. I tried to keep the pairings as "canon" as possible, according to the hints at the end of Season 9 (AppleDash, FlutterCord, CheesePie, StarBurst, etc.) but I also threw in ShiningChrysalis and SomDance, which are pretty central to the plot.

This story is a sequel to How Zephyr Unintentionally Destroyed the Banks

After Celestia's successful war against the banks, Rainbow Dash's heroic(?) sacrifice of abundant numbers of her own soldiers has earned her a commission in the Wonderbolts. Unfortunately, that requires the brash mare to understand basic military knowledge, otherwise Equestria would run out of Wonderbolts.

Twilight Sparkle valiantly offers her services to once again show off how much she knows tutor the pegasus in the arts of war. However, to both Rainbow Dash's and the Princess of Friendship's surprise, their mutual seamstress friend is an experienced student of war. The fashionista, Rarity, takes over Rainbow's training as quickly as she took over the sacred lands of the buffalo.

Celestia help them all.

Sequel to "How Zephyr Unintentionally Destroyed the Banks" and a setup for a multi-chapter fic following Zephyr Breeze and Prince Blueblood.

Rated Teen for references to violent warfare, death, and (of course) sex.

This story is a sequel to Saving Blueblood's Balls

After Zephyr Breeze and Rainbow Dash get hitched and have a foal, Zephyr feels their relationship has gotten a little cold. While trying to rekindle their romance, he uncovers Rainbow's financial woes and the couple decide to try and settle their debts with the bank - with disastrous consequences.

Sequel to Saving Blueblood's Balls.

Added the sex tag because I was my jokes are less innuendos and more blatant sexual references.

In order to ensure Prince Blueblood does not threaten the security of the royal line of succession, Princesses Celestia and Luna devise a plan to remove the problem. Unfortunately, this involves removing Blueblood's balls.

In order to save his stallion-hood, Blueblood calls upon his friend and mane-stylist, Zephyr Breeze, to save him. Their solution? Get hitched.

Warning: This is a wacky fic, so there will be crazy character pairings and everyone is going to be at least a little out of character. Really, a lot of them will be way out of character. You have been warned.

Rated teen for swears and innuendos.

Set roughly two years after Luna's return and redemption, Spike has begun to question whether or not non-ponies have protected rights in Equestria. When he raises his concerns to Twilight and Starlight, the Princess is offended by criticism of Celestia's system, while Starlight begins dreaming about her old ideals once more. Twilight sends their concerns to Celestia and Luna, but they soon develop very different views on how to handle the situation.

The entire time, the non-pony nations are increasingly agitated by the overwhelming influence of the pony city-states and the need for them to forsake their old cultures in favor of becoming more "civilized". An ancient prophecy foretells that a hero will emerge to unite the non-ponies and strike at their oppressors when they are at their weakest.

As the battle lines are drawn and diplomacy fails, two things are certain. The first is that no land or nation will be unscathed by the conflict; the other is that whomever succeeds will set the political precedent for the next thousand years...

Title is a reference to the MGS: Peace Walker song. This will eventually evolve into a Lunar Republic v. Solar Empire fic, but their creation will probably only be the end of this fic and the setup for a sequel. This is an AU set roughly two years after the beginning of the TV series, where the point of divergence is the Season 7 finale. There are some references to Equestria Girls and the comics, but since I haven't read very much of the comics, I'm mostly cherry-picking. There will also be a plot involving Spike as a sort of "chosen one" and the introduction of a third-party competitor in the form of an alliance between non-ponies. I'm not sure why I did it, but I thought it would be good to throw in something extra instead of just NLR fighting SE, since there's already a dozen of those out there.

I added the romance tag because the relationships of the characters have developed into important plot points.

Below are my three major warnings.

WARNING: This fic is political, though I'm trying to present each side as both an aggressor and as a defender rather than pick obvious "heroes" and "villains". That said, topics such as race form the initial crux of the fic, though in this context race means dragon/griffon/pony, etc., and the races don't have real-world racial equivalents, so please don't get worked up about it. Feel free to root for or condemn any side you want; I'll withhold my personal bias, since the point of MLP is building bridges, not walls.

WARNING 2: There will be fighting. One of my mistakes with my last NLR/SE fics was the over-the-top dramatic flare of the war, and the introduction of modern weapons. These battles will be fought using technologies shown in the show: spears, arrows, magic, and Pinkie's Party Cannon (when she wills it). I've left the casualties ambiguous because some readers prefer lots of death and some don't. Read into it however you wish.

WARNING 3: Getting sick of these, yet? There will be a lot of shipping. I tried to prevent it, but I can't help it, and now it's part of the main plot.

Flim and Flam find themselves back in Ponyville, without any bits to even produce one of their infamous schemes. With nothing left to them, they decide they have to find real jobs. After an argument, the two part ways in search of employment. Flim finds himself - of all places - at the Apple family's farm, where Applejack thankfully lets him do farm work for food and board. Flam, meanwhile, runs into the Great and Powerful Trixie, who hires him as a stagehand after he repairs her wagon.

What really surprises the brothers is when they begin to fall for their respective employers.

Takes place after Season 4, I guess. Just wanted to do a romantic fic, since I have a horrible tendency to make those. Enjoy the crack ships, I suppose.

This story is a sequel to The Republic

Sequel to The Republic.

After peace negotiations fail, the Lunar Republic falls back from Ponyville and into Appleoosa. Of the Mane Six, Luna's supporters decide to stay in Ponyville while Celestia unleashes the Royal Guard on the small town. The ensuing massacre leads to civil war, where Premier Luna uses her powers of state to build up an army to face Celestia's growing regime, the Solar Empire.

Through it all, Discord tries to protect Fluttershy from the brutality of the war by hiding the truth from her, and Twilight Sparkle begins a new religion recognizing Celestia as a divine being.

Sorry for the poor description.

Luna has always been the watcher of dreams for her ponies, and caretaker of their private fears. Over time, she has come to see many of the ponies of Equestria feel oppressed and downtrodden, and yet she can find no reason for it. Everything is perfect in Equestria. Or so it seems until Luna discovers a secret history Celestia has tried to bury - along with a series of philosophical manuscripts and political manifestos.

Apple Bloom is one of the many ponies feeling trapped in her life, and this manifests itself in her dreams. Luna, inspired by the ancient philosophies from Celestia's forbidden library helps Apple Bloom through her problems by taking her on as a student. Apple Bloom, true to form, decides to share these ideas with her friends.

Little do they know the repercussions...

Something I've been dabbling in for the last few months. First pony fic, and - quite frankly - it's rather unrefined. Mostly me exploring philosophy from pony's points of view. I don't know if the Lunar Republic and Solar Empire are "fanon" material with their own respective histories, so I just made my own rather than research it. Sorry to any fans of that AU if I've stepped on toes. Also, I'm trying to keep this politically neutral; that is, I'm not trying to make the Republic or Empire, or their respective philosophies, the "good guys" of the story. Think of this as a crack fic, if it helps.

This fic centers on the rise of the Lunar Republic and its secession from Equestria. I plan on making a sequel fic which focuses on Celestia's transition into Empress of the Solar Empire, probably lamely titled "The Empire". Anyway, tell me what you think. Really let me have it. Also, I wasn't sure what category to put this in; it's not really dark, but it's not much else either. Any tips there would be appreciated.
