    Summary

    Princess Celestia never said she was a great teacher, and with history doomed to repeat itself, Twilight Sparkle isn't doing much better.

    Ever since his mother chose Twilight Sparkle to take the throne, Prince Sonder's life has been on a downward spiral. He'd been replaced before he even had the chance to rule, and now the rest of the royal family is making a mockery of his hard work. Determined to take what is rightfully his, the young alicorn must find a way to navigate the new normal of Equestria and discover his purpose.

    Meanwhile, a new generation of bearers have claimed the Elements of Harmony. Will they protect Equestria together, or crumble beneath the pressure of the great heroes who came before?

    When the light fails, who will stand against the eclipse? What will become of the world we knew when our histories are forgotten?

    This is the story of how Equestria fell.

     

    NOTE: This story is a grimdark! The ending will be bittersweet, but it won't be a happy one.

    Summary

    Cole noticed the tattoo in his survey, inspected where it started at his wrist, the maw of a dragon on a dark clouded backdrop, it snaked its way up, hidden under fabric. If he was working, he would have taken a better mental picture of it. Those kinds of features made identifying a person easy. He wanted to know where it ended, where the beasts tail might rest on his body.

    “Your turn.”

    “Pardon?”

    “To analyze me,” he paused, cocking his head, “I can tell that you have been, but you haven’t said anything. Are you trying to play dumb, Mr. Cassidy?”

    "Dumb? Shit," he laughed with awkward cadence, "if you’re gonna ask me questions like that we should at least be on a first name basis.”

    The man hummed, “okay, Cole. Your turn.”

    Summary

    Hanzo hadn’t intended to intrude on anyone’s solitude. In truth, he’d only ventured out to explore Gibraltar, but as he climbed to his spot, he heard a soft strum of guitar strings floating through the cooling air.

    The silhouette of a broad-shouldered man with a wide-brimmed hat came into view—Captain Cassidy, the man he’d briefly encountered in the morning meeting. Now, he sat cross-legged, leaning against the railing, cradling a guitar that gleamed faintly in the dying light. The tune he was playing was simple, almost melancholic, and for a moment, Hanzo found himself lingering just out of sight, watching.

    During the meeting earlier, the strange American had been introduced to him as one of the most important members of the little team that is the new Overwatch. This man had served with Overwatch during its glory for a very long time. Hanzo couldn’t deny the authority Cassidy seemed to carry, owing to his years in a high-stakes spec-ops unit, a division that answered directly to one of the old commanders. This was a man who, on paper, commanded respect. Yet, looking at him, Hanzo struggled to reconcile that image with the person before him.
