Pony Predators of Equestria
Story is currently on Hiatus, pending a partial rewrite due to me becoming a better writer of the course of the almost three years it's been since I first started writing this story.
What is a pony? If asked that question the average citizen of Equestria would probably respond with a confused look and a mention of the three pony tribes. A particularly astute pony might reply with four tribes, remembering to include the Thestrals. A pony of a scholarly disposition may also add a list of characteristics as well - manes, cutie marks, some form of innate magic, hooves, vegetarian diet, etc. This is the answer that would have been received for thousands of years, from before the unification of the three tribes until very recently. Until the failed Changeling invasion. With the reveal of something so foreign, yet at the same time so familiar, what it means to be a pony is no longer quite so clear and obvious. And while professors and philosophers argue, another question is forgotten in the uproar: What if the Changelings weren't the only ones who were hiding?
* Takes place between Equestria Games and Twilight's Kingdom.
* Added Dark tag for certain parts, though this is intended to mainly be a Comedy/Slice of Life.
* Map of Ponyville I use when figuring out where stuff is.
* Map of Equestria (obviously not scale-accurate)
* Always looking for proofreaders if anyone's interested!

Unpublished chapters are not canon, they are simply earlier drafts of finished chapters that I kept around and decided to upload on the off chance someone might find them useful. Links to chapters here.
