  • Synopsis: Paige and Cyril are a bit of an odd pair. She's a Riverlands pegasus traveling to Equestria. He's a griffon soldier in the Reichsarmee trying to live up to the family name. But when they meet, it seems like they might be able to move past those differences and make it work. Except this is the year 1007 ALB, the year of great change in the world. And the only way these two are going to stay anywhere near in contact is through their letters for the next ten years, through multiple wars, occupation, POW camps and the insanity of the world itself.

  • Synopsis: The Riverland ponies of the far east have never had any immortal princesses to protect and nurture them, and their griffin neighbors have rarely, if ever, been too friendly. Yet then came the Reformisten; an army of murderous fanatics from the kingdom of Hellquill. Led by the pitiless monster Eisen Silberkrone, these griffons have come to wipe out the ponies and build their thousand year empire atop their graves. What they did not count on, however, was that River Swirl, a former student under Celestia herself, had reached out to other species as well as ponies, offering them the hoof of friendship. Now, in this dark moment, that friendship is tested.

Love Is A Strange Thing by Podrick Equus

  • Recommended by: Shivader
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Lilac didn't consider herself the leader type. And yet here she was, overseeing the vast city of Manehatten and the surrounding provinces. Years ago, after Equestria was conquered, Chrysalis had personally put her in charge of the shining city.
    But Lilac soon learned that the ponies of Manehatten wouldn't give up their freedom even after the war was lost. Riots and uprisings were commonplace, and Lilac had her hooves full for years trying to put out the fires. Eventually, after countless promises, reforms, and policies enacted, she had finally gotten most of the ponies to see her not as a tyrant, but as the Protectress she claimed to be.
    But the pony resistance was an ever present thorn in her side. Never quitting, never losing hope that one day Equestria could be free again. Thankfully for Lilac, she had managed to pull off something she thought impossible.
    She had finally captured them. The leaders of the Equestrian Liberation Front. Now she was presented with the hardest choice she faced yet: What does she do with them?
    Major spoilers for the Manehatten Protecterate.
