    Story: Human (Update Part 32!)

    [Adventure][Comedy][Light Grimdark][Random]

    Author: DannyJ
    Description:  "In Equestria's far future, one thousand and five years after the return, a dysfunctional group of argumentative ponies must quest to defeat the most dangerous enemy of Equestria to ever live; the malevolent Lord Second, one of the only known members of the race of elder gods known as the humans, and the ancient cult who worships him, the Brotherhood of Man.

    An over-the-top surrealist comedy with slight serious elements. Expect a steady decline into insanity."

    Story: Snow and Shadows (Update Part 6!)



    [Adventure] [Dark]

    Author: The 24th Pegasus
    Description: It has been twenty years since the fall of the Cirran Empire, and Commander Hurricane has led the pegasus pony tribe into a comfortable role in accordance with the Tri-Pony Compact. But a supernatural blizzard without end brings forth the suppressed hatreds that have festered among the three tribes, and the resulting famine threatens to eradicate all; earth pony, unicorn, and pegasus alike. With a bloody war looming on the horizon and the fate of their ponies at stake, the three tribes must find a way to survive together, or they will assuredly die alone.

    Sequel to "Of Skies Long Forgotten." Reading of that story is not absolutely necessary to understand what is going on, but it is strongly recommended for you to get the references.

    Author: Paleo Prints
    Description: 'John Smith' has settled in Ponyville with his wife and two daughters for many peaceful years.

    The Three Hooves


    Story: Asylum (Update Part 7!)

    [Sad] This is a story that differentiates itself from all other "Pony is Insane" stories by rightfully deserving its "Sad" tag, but not needing a "Dark" one. One enters the story wondering when Twilight is going to realize it is all fake. Whatever the author's future intent may be, one finishes the chapters presented here simply hoping that she gets better... -Prereader #13

    Author: Derek (Daemon of Decay)
    Description: When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints. Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors, they keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and it was all in her head. They’re lying. She remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

    Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons (Update Part 54!)

    Source

    [Grimdark][Crossover][
    Adventure][Kkat Approved] Usually I toss all the Fallout: Equestria side fics into one big post, but this one has reached such a critical mass in terms of content that is has broken free from the mothership! Kkat also approved of it's separation.  At 50k+ words, I'm pretty sure it warrants it. Also rolling with Calamity until someone draws something for it!



    Author: Somber
    Description: Forced into the life of a security mare, Blackjack is far more
    interested in eking out what fun she can in the dim halls of Stable
    99. All that changes as she becomes enveloped in a plot that not only
    endangers her stable but the remaining world as well.

    Author: Patchwork Poltergeist
    Description: Reader, in ancient days, the old lords of the world numbered in thousands. Then hundreds. Then even less.
    Now, they are found only in tapestries and fanciful ballads.
    The creatures are all vanished. All but one.

    Rumors say there are more of him, somewhere far away. A young and supposedly gifted mage called Star Swirl, and Heartstrings, a gentle spinster join him on a journey to find the rest. But between the searchers and their goal hangs the question: "Should these creatures be saved at all?"

    Story: Fallout Equestria: Heroes (Update Chapter 25!)


    [Grimdark][Crossover][Adventure]

    Normally these side-stories hang out on their own, but at 177k+ words, this one hired some muscle to hang around outside the EqD office talking about fire insurance until we got the hint.

    There's also fanart after the break!
