Equestria is a magical realm of ponies and friendship, where life and love are cherished and abundant.

Over one millennium in the past, Equestria was an ancient realm of monsters and danger, with lawlessness and adventure teeming around every corner.

Celestia and Luna are young fillies with stars in their eyes, exploring the newly-formed nation while upholding their (ceremonial) princessly duties. Both are on a quest to find their place in the world.

Then, after an ambush threatens to put the stopper on their mission, they meet Sergeant Constant Vigilance: a hardly-sociable, grimly earth pony, who is assigned as their bodyguard to ensure their safety.

Together, they journey, unknowingly marching towards fate.

In the process of being rewritten and remade. Stay tuned!

This story is a sequel to Without You

An alternate take on Without You.

Batman hunts for one of his feared enemies so he could bring him to justice in Gotham City. However, he enters a place that unexpectedly transports him in an unknown world of which he has no clue what it is. While he struggles to complete his mission, an evil rises up in Equestria that would require not only his tactics, strength, and resources but also the assistance of the ponies. How will the Dark Knight react to them for who they are? Will they accept this dark being who is somewhat unlike them? Will they understand him? The more the Caped Crusader associates with them, the more he’ll realize that it will be like Gotham all over again.

Note: This happens after the events of Batman Begins and the season 3 premiere. This also takes place during season 3 of MLP: FIM.

Princess Skystar has lived her entire life beneath the waves years after her people were driven into hiding by a monster known simply as "The Storm King" and given sanctuary by the undersea empire of Mu, her days spent under the tutelage of the ryu Manda and under the watchful eye of her mother, Queen Novo. One day, Skystar decides it is time to venture above the surface, after a fateful encounter with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, peaks her curiosity due to his grudge towards humankind. Upon venturing to the surface, assuming a human form, Skystar seeks to uncover the mysteries of Godzilla's hatred toward mankind as well as try to restore the kingdom her people once ruled... even if it means risking an encounter with the Storm King.

Celestia's personal student has a rather strange ability; at least once a week, she dreams of a quiet, somber wood. It has always been a peaceful place for her, a sleeping sanctuary for peace and reflection. Under this moon, however, the peace will be broken, for on this night something else stalks the silent trees with her, and it has a message that only she can deliver.

Edit: Winning Entry of Contest 2: The Sequel in the Nightmare Moon is the Best Pony group!

Two simple guardsmares were performing their duties when a white flash transports them into a bizarre alternate reality set in a futuristic world that's nothing like Equestria. In this reality the once servile metal stewards known as Mechanoids turned against their masters, now all that remains are small pockets of survivors scattered throughout the ruins of their world.

But they are not alone, they come into contact with cosmonaut pony left behind in a space station. He also knows about the precarious situation they find themselves in.

With his aid they will face off against the unending mechanical horde to find a way back to home.

Book Knight is the closest thing that Ponyville has to a cop, and hates the fact that he barely does any good with his training. But when Twilight lets him borrow a comic book that she got from the mirror world he'll be inspired to take his job to the next level.

He will become the hero that all of Equestria's criminals (however few they may be) will learn to fear. He will become the Shadow Knight.

(Rated T for fighting.)

The home town of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is under siege. The royal family has been slaughtered, leaving only Cadence alive thanks to her being in Canterlot. The streets are swarming with soldiers, rounding up any survivors, and striking down any left-over soldiers or rebellious people.

Five rookies, almost fresh out of military school, are tasked with keeping an eye on the city until Princess Luna and her night guard arrive to take care of the siege.

But a lust for vengeance, and youthful impatience causes those plans to get washed down the drain. Shining Armor charges towards the gates, intent on avenging his love's family. The others follow, and are met with five of the officers of the enemy.

This is the story of Crystal's fight against one of them, and how she came to be known as "The Wendigo."

Star Kicker is the newest member of Princess Luna's royal guards, and she has a lot to prove. After all, she has to show once and for all that she's better than her stuck-up skunk of an older sister. Fortunately for her, Luna is eager to give her the chance.

In the desert kingdom of Selerika, the tomb of one of Luna's old friends has been robbed and a priceless artifact stolen. Luna is determined to recover it, and who better to bring along than a unicorn whose special talent lies in finding lost things? It's a dangerous adventure full of mortal peril, but that comes with the territory of being a royal guard.
