I've Got Only My Bones

by JamesJameson
In a wintery war-torn city, one impoverished mare is going to put on a look of grim regard and set out to make it even worse

The Royal Equestrian Army has liberated Tall Tale after a year of occupation under the Changeling Heer. For the first time since its beginning, the war has gone Equestria's way. War is a messy thing, however, and the local anti-changeling resistance force, known as the "Hellknights" for their feverish devotion to the sun, has refused to lay down their arms before the victorious soldiers. They've successfully resisted every attempt to make them kneel so far, and they intend to continue.
To solve this issue, desperate times have called for drastic measures. Equestria has enlisted a strange homeless mare named Pernicious Poison to infiltrate the group on their behalf. There's just one problem: That's not her real name, and she's actually the scariest thing in the entire city.

This story is set in the Equestria at War universe. I didn't intend it to be that way at first, but it fit the narrative I wanted to tell well enough that I decided I might as well go all-in. It was also written because 'Necromancy for Foals' is the only story about necromancy that's both worth reading and features an actual necromancer, and I'm not just talking about MLP fics, I'm talking about every book I've been able to find so far. So I wrote my own, with blackjack and hookers. All six chapters are done, and if there are less, it's because I just haven't posted them yet.
