Her hive starving and crippled and herself in even worse condition Chrysalis turns to the only being in Equestria that can help.

Too bad that this particular pony has so many reasons to hate her.

Warning: The following story you are about to read contains both M/F and M/M shipping, a love triangle, and a series of complicated events involving two royals and one Shining Armor. If you find any of these as unappealing, you know where the exit button is.

Six months after basic training for the Royal Guard, Private Shining Armor is trying to figure out how to climb up the ranks. Shining hears that the position of bodyguard of the infamously arrogant Prince Blueblood has opened up. However, things get complicated when something rather unexpected happens - Blueblood has a crush on him. More so, Shining is dating Princess Cadance.

Sunburst was the official crystaler. It was his job to help care for the young princess, and he had grown used to and even enjoyed the task. It was a pity, if one asked Flurry Heart, that he lacked a little trait that'd make him the best foalsitter.

Princess Flurry's dates are not up to Imperial standards.

A lawyer doesn't always want to know what really happened. It's a tightrope walk. Whether or not the lawyer believes in his client's innocence is not the issue. It's his duty to defend his client - no more and no less.

Nearly one year has passed since Australian pilots discovered Equestria in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Now the world watches in awe as, with the Princesses' blessings, one of the most ferocious and dangerous tyrants of the equine world - none other than Chrysalis, the Queen of all Changelings - is marched before one of the highest courts of law of the human world - the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands.

But the Queen is wrathful and determined, still one of the planet's single most powerful creatures.
How can mere humans, who know next to nothing of her mystical home, achieve justice for the Equestrians?

Alexander Estermann is a conceited defence attorney who will have to wade through a quagmire of vengeance, racism, manipulation, lies, hearsay and self-deception to get to the core of the affair.
Seemingly the whole world is working against him - up and including the Queen herself.

Rated teen for liberal swearing and gore for minor gory descriptions and pictures.

Disclaimer: This is not a story that is meant to reflect reality. Several things about international law have been changed to accomodate the scenario and make it, well, readable. If that should offend you for any reason, I wish to apologise in advance.

Shining Armour had a great life, everything he could ever want. He was happy.

That is until the Monster arrived.

Once upon a time, Shining Armor approached an unoccupied Rarity with the possibility of trying out an RPG the kirin had sent to him for testing. In response, Rarity threw him out of his own castle. And Shining has no idea why.

Shining Armor learns the most important tactical lesson of his life.

Sometimes, when I look at fanart... things happen.
This was one of them.
I'm sorry.

Shining Armor has everything - the wife, the house, the life. So when he rolls over to find the creature that crashed his wedding and nearly wrecked his chance at happiness snuggled oh-so-sweetly at his side, with his darling Cadance at his other, it's all he can do to keep it together and try to assemble the missing pieces.

This story is a sequel to A Himbo Too Far

The common cold; enemy of mankind and ponykind alike. Shining Armor has faced many such colds in his lifetime, but when his newly-minted boyfriend Flash Sentry catches it, it feels like the end of the world. Shining Armor flies into the fray to protect him, commanding troops and royalty alike, and it's up to Flash Sentry to tell his boyfriend to chill out, dude!

This is a sequel to "A Himbo Too Far", but all you need to know from that story is that Flash Sentry and Shining Armor are in a new relationship, and that Shining Armor is in a marriage of convenience to his equally-gay childhood best friend, Princess Cadance.

I had a request for more of these two being silly and cuddly himbos, so here you are! Written for the M/M Contest as well! Just a light, silly story about two boyfriends, and some fun with the classic 'someone gets sick' trope!
