The hunt is on and the stakes are high, but this Hearthwarming Iron Will and Tempest Shadow may find more than they look for.

Written for Libertynude for Jinglemas 2023

Prompt: "I would like to have a story with Iron Will and Tempest Shadow in it. Any genre is fine, though I'd prefer it not be a shipfic or horror story. Those aren't genres I want in my stocking."

Anon makes prosthetics, but despite the words of others, he isn't happy with them.

Just a little short story I made while working on another fic. Not sure if I'll do more, but if there's enough interest, I have a few ideas for where to go with it.

Edit: This was initially intended to be a short story where it ended after the first chap, but I've since added more at the request of commenters. I plan to continue adding chaps, but I guarantee nothing. Let me know what you think.

Tempest Shadow has her orders - she has been assigned as the personal bodyguard of Princess Twilight at the Princess’ first Grand Galloping Gala. Of course, given the requirements of the position, Tempest is reasonably certain that the only reason she was given the job is because the Princess is engaged in one of her covert friendship lessons.

Still, she has to get a proper gown, and a plus-one. Fortunately, Rarity has a referral for where she can get both… if Tempest realizes what her options are.

Originally written for The May Original Pairing Contest 2020 Cover art by Snow Quill!

In the wake of the recent invasion of Equestria, the Princesses decide to conduct a complete strategic review of Equestria's military readiness. This means that Twilight gets to do something she's wanted to try ever since she played pretend with her big brother in the Guard. She's going to take over Equestria.

The Festival of Friendship is in full swing, and Tempest Shadow should be languishing in a prison cell, waiting for her punishment. Instead Twilight asks if she’d like to stay with her for the night.
This whole friendship thing might be more confusing than she thought.

(Now with bonus chapter)

A former antagonist has been offered new possibilities and has opened pathways to a brand-new life with the help of advanced technology. This simple operation has opened doors for the reformed villain, providing fresh opportunities for a better future.

This is my submission for the Cyberpunk Equestria Story Contest.
I would like to give my thanks to Mocha Star for all the editing they provided.

Tempest Shadow, former Captain of the Storm Guard and Conquerer, has been declared hot!!! By ponies. This not only upsets the reformed mare but now she doesn't know what to do about it.

This goes exactly... no where. Like not what you think.

This story is a sequel to Just Some Flowers

Readers do not have to read Just Some Flowers to understand everything in the story. However, watching the MLP Movie will help understand my story's scenario.

The Friendship Festival was supposed to be a time of enjoyment and happiness. However, thanks to Tempest Shadow, all of that was burned to ashes and the ponies attending the event were taken as prisoners by the Storm Creatures.

Caramel experience as a slave to a Storm Creature named Groak involved taking a few heavy punches from time to time. But none of that pain compared to the arrival of Princess Twilight Sparkle as Tempest's prisoner. And how he chose to take on the miserable task of escorting the mare he cared so dearly for to her doom.

I want to give a fantastic and huge shoutout to Sipioc for not only proof-reading, but also for the cover art. You have been a great help in motivating me to move this simple idea I started in August 2016 forward. Thank you.

There appears to be a Great and Powerful Trixie in front of Twilight's castle.

These two things might be connected.
