Two thousand years after Nightmare Moon's banishment, Equestria thrives. Celestia rules with her six princesses, six powerful Alicorns, given charge over different parts of rulership, using their powers and wisdom to make sure Equestria prospers.

Or, that is the official story, anyway.

In truth, after installing countless unstable cybernetics, Celestia has gone mad, and the Alicorns aren't much better. Ponies regularly disappear when they start to question things publicly. Wars are waged, species are slaughtered, and androids are kept as slaves, bought and sold as property.

Vinyl Scratch was a musician, owned by Fancy Pants. Her life had been well, really, but before she knows it, she finds herself thrust into the midst of conspiracies and rebels. Discord, an organization bent on overthrowing Celestia and bringing equality to androids, takes her in and keeps her safe. Vinyl wants to fight for what's right, but deep down, she wonders what is truly the right thing to do.

A bit of a twist on a stereotypical cyberpunk setting. While we have the evil government and the rebels, it does focus on more messages of harmony and friendship than you'd normally see. While 'the tree of liberty must be watered with blood of tyrants', it is necessary to 'love your neighbor as yourself', too.

Updates will be rare, but as I am working on this whenever I have time, it will not be set to 'hiatus'.

Okay, now for content warning:

--Foul language: As it should, it depends on the character speaking. Curses are usually going to be few and far between, but a few characters swear like sailors (or cyberpunk gangsters, as it were.)

--Violence and death: People have guns, and people get shot. I will not write graphic descriptions of violence, but it will be on screen.

--References to rape and brothels: Androids, as slaves, are used as prostitutes against their will in some places. I will not go deep into that, but it does happen in this setting.

--References and use of drugs: Without knowing too much about different kinds of real world drugs, I simply made up one I called 'Salt licks'. It is highly addictive and physically damaging.

An ancient power was sealed away, into a vessel of flesh, to live human lives over and over again, until she finally learned the value of friendship.
Fragments of the past come back to Applejack, along with her power. At first glance, everything seems fine with her. But once her friends start looking deeper, they notice that everything is not perfectly fine.

Content warning:
--Scattered minor profanities
--Characters struggling with grief

Vinyl never liked winter in the first place. Winter was always too cold for her, and snow was frustrating.
Of course, explaining this to other people when you can't talk is its own problem.
Sometimes, life sucks.

Content warning for a character suffering from muteness. Notably, I am not an expert on this and may have gotten details wrong.

Set in the alternate Sombra timeline during The Cutie Re-Mark.
Sombra found the young unicorn shortly after his banishment ended. He saw in her a shred of potential. He could have dominated her will...but perhaps she'll be more useful like this.
And besides, it had been quite a long time since he'd taken an apprentice.

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt King Sombra/Strength. Good luck to the other contestants!
Notably, do keep in mind that this fic does contain dark content and may not be suitable to everyone. Content warning includes:
--Some bloodshed, but nothing too graphic
--onscreen character death
--light profanities

Rainbow Dash, on her way out from school, notices that one person didn't come out yet, despite the time since the bell rang. Perhaps against her better judgement, she goes back in to keep Sunset Shimmer from making a horrible mistake.
Tensions rise, loyalty is tested, and perhaps, a broken soul can be fixed.

Content warning--
--Several profanities("Fuck" is used in a couple of cases)
--Repeated mentions of suicide

It's been some time now since the Battle of the Bands, but things have finally come to a head in the our household. Namely, Aria punched me in the face and kicked me out. Cruel in the extreme, I suppose what I have left to do is think about it all.

Luna thought it was going to be just an ordinary day, and it started as such. But, alas, when you order an unconventional breakfast, you'd better expect an unconventional response.
And Luna would have to put up with twelve hours of this.

Content warning for mentions of cannibalism. Other than that, though, nothing, really.
Written for the most recent prompt for Bean's Writing Group.

Rainbow Dash was no stranger to tough situations, but every once in a while, one seriously ticked her off. Right before her Wonderbolts show starts, Twilight got them both stuck in a magical prism.

And now they have to get out, however possible.

Written for Bean's Writing Group, using the prompt 'trying to escape from somewhere'. I decided to go for the bonus, using color to convey emotions, as well. Check the Author's notes at the end for the color code I used.

Derpy has long suffered from a helpless addiction to muffins. There is no stopping her when her Vice comes calling. So, when she goes to order a muffin, she will not be stopped. Not by her poor sense of direction, cops intent on ambushing her, rival gangs, or the local superheroes.
Nothing can stop the call of a Vice.

Content Warning:
--Repeated Mentions of violence, but mostly in a comedic fashion
--References to 'muffins' as a drug addiction(no actual drugs in the story)

Two years ago, Rainbow Dash was attacked by a werewolf. She survived, but became a werewolf. After the Battle of the Bands, she finds herself telling her friends what she is.
But the old trauma remains, and when trying to help another friend adjust to become a werewolf, too, Rainbow Dash finds herself struggling to keep up with her old nightmares, and prevent Lyra Heartstrings from the same fears.
