• Story Updates - July 14th



    I look away for one day and everyone and their mother decides to release a story update.   Needless to say, this post has a ton of stuff in it.  Head on down below the break for all of them.  Try something new!


    Story: A Delicate Balance (Update Part 20!)





    [Shipping]

    Author: Japanese Teeth
    Description: Twilight is shocked to notice that her feelings for one of her friends aren't quite the same as her feelings for the rest of them. Does she simply prefer some of her friends over others, or is it a sign of something deeper?

    Story: Jericho (New Part 12!)


    [Comedy][Adventure][Dark] "Jericho is one of those stories where I can’t go one scene without seeing some gem of characterization, humour, or worldbuilding that makes me want to hold it up to the world and say, 'Yes! This is how it’s done!'" -- Pre-reader Amacita

    Author: Crushric
    Description: If you came to hear a story, I’m sorry to disappoint. I suspect this’ll just end up as one big confession, really. When you’re the first Teutscher to set hoof into Equestria for nearly a millennium, I suppose that’s to be expected. And when you’re the universe’s favorite chew toy, doubly so. Still, with enough wit, some Prussian ingenuity, a droll sense of humor, and wanton murder, I might just survive this. Then again, when you’re going up against an unending list of things like government conspiracies, that guardian angel who keeps telling you to kill ponies, psycho Equestrian girls with allophilia, a lunatic princess, the legions of the Inferno, the Equestrian culture itself, swashbuckling sword fights, and laissez-faire economists, you begin to release why there’s a big “if” in the middle of your life.

    Story: Equestria from Dust (Update Part 16!)


    [Adventure]

    Author: Soundslikeponies
    Description: Celestia awakens to see an empty world, white sandstone stretching the horizon. She wanders the world as she builds it from her imagination, filling it with life, but as time passes, the world that she created begins to seem like little more than a lucid dream, conjured from the dust.
    Equestria from Dust (Update Part 16!) 




    Story: Perchance to Dream (Update Part 4!)


    [Sad][Adventure]

    Author: MisterMoniker
    Description: Even in the land of Equestria, with a powerful princess leading the nation, some citizens live their lives lost and neglected by the society around them. Unnoticed among the thousands of ponies working, playing, and laughing during the day, at night they may have an odd encounter...

    Under the quiet blanket of night, a leader continues to watch over her little ponies.

    Story: Snow and Shadows (Update Part 17!)



    [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.

And with her eighth birthday coming soon, who knows, maybe things will only get better from here. After all, everypony knows if you make a wish on your birthday then it comes true, right?
    Birthday Wishes (New Part 6!) 


    Story: The Sword Coast (Update Part 8!)


    [Adventure][Crossover][Dark] Finally a Baldurs Gate crossover!

    Author: AdrianVesper
    Description: When a dark enemy begins hunting the young wizard Twilight Sparkle, the walls of the fortress library of Candlekeep cannot protect her. Not even her mentor, the archmage Star Swirl the Bearded, can keep her safe. With a price on her head and the shadow of death on her heels, her only hope for salvation is the Magic of Friendship. Perhaps, with powerful allies at her side, she can find answers and uncover the truth about her destiny.

    (This story is inspired by the Baldur's Gate CRPG series by Bioware, but you do not have to be familiar with BG to understand its events)

    Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons (Update Part 57!)

    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!

    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.
