After Shining Armor falls in battle, Luna helps Cadence cope with her grief. With his death, Cadence can no longer escape the harsh reality of her immortality and must come to terms with it.

Twilight, also struck by the truth of her situation, seeks out Celestia, who offers her an answer as harsh as the truth she must face.

Despite the sad tag, I can promise that there are heartwarming moments.

With ever increasing military power, Equestria manages to push back the ever aggressive Gildran armies. However, the increase in territory begins to tax the ranks of Actuators, the elite of the army. The year is 350 of the Continuity. In an effort to protect its increasingly ragged lands, the Equestrian Republic sends out the call to find the best soldiers to bolster its army.

(Now with 500% more mecha goodness.)

A collection of short stories styled after the works of Isaac Asimov. The sad tag is there because there is no Science-Fiction tag. With no continuity, I cannot declare any characters in good conscience. More stories will be added as I see fit.

With her home universe destroyed, Pinkie is offered a chance to save others from the same fate. Can she and her group of decidedly insane comrades keep the multiverse safe from the terrible clutches of the authors?

Important! You should really read the first story first, which you can find here:

A bad author hijacks the universe and is determined to make it into the greatest mess ever to exist. Things escalate toward a bleak and chaotic future as hijinks ensue. Will Luna ever get over her case of the measles? Will Applejack ever declare her undying love of grape jelly? These questions (won't be) answered in this exciting episode of Retreating Rationale!

Two absolutes initiated the universe. In the same instant, they started the first war. Their struggle spread, creating galaxies from nothing, and reducing worlds to empty void. From their clash, a spark of life emerged. And so the race of ponies was created, forged in the heart of an infinite war. In their dawn, peace arose. But in a world created by an endless war, can a peace truly hold together?
