One generation ago, a volcanic eruption nearly smothered all life on Equus. Ponies and griffons ended up deciding not to kill each other. Contrail is going to set down the history of the Migration War, if it doesn't kill him first.
Accipio was once the largest and mightiest empire in all the world, with ten birds to every pony in Equestria. They swept from one side of Equus to the other, conquering and enslaving all that they found. But Equestria held, held even when Mons Ignis rose from its ancient slumber and drowned Accipio in ash. A terrible war was nearly the result, as ponies and griffons struggled for what little resources they could. Were it not for the desperate struggles of a few brave souls, surely civilization itself would've ended.
But the next generation of both nations rise with no knowledge of the past, and that's something that Equestria's Princess Twilight Sparkle cannot abide. The Migration War is transforming into myth right before her eyes. She can't stop the flow of time, but she can send a historian, to take down an accurate record of what happened while the players still live.
But as Contrail will soon discover, history isn't just in the past. Whether he likes it or not, he's about to be part of the story.

Batsy Fluffentuft makes her daring escape. A certain street performer catches her eye. Possibly the only pony in Equestria with an ego to rival her own...
Naturally, a contest is in order. Will Batsy's ego survive? Probably not.
A man wakes up to find he's inhabiting the body of cartoon horse who wasn't exactly Mister Popular judging from how shocked they are when he says things like 'please' and 'thank you'.
The daily lives of the royal princesses, often times is pretty simple. Wake up, raise or lower their celestial bodies, hold court, meetings, sleep, and repeat. Oh, and dealing with their infuriating nephew! Overall, things aren't all that easy for them but it's manageable and mundane.
But when an innocent wish came true, both sisters are now facing a new Blueblood. One that can be considered better, yet for some reason, this version seems to have forgotten how magic works and keeps looking at the world like a newborn baby.
So what happens now? Did their wish actually come true? Is it some sort of act? Has he been replaced by a changeling? And what does this new Blueblood mean for Equestria?
Only one thing is for sure, shenanigans will appear and a lot of ponies are about to spit their coffee. Look out Equestria! There is a new Blueblood on the loose, and this one might actually be worthy of the title 'Prince'.
The 'Romance' tag is for events that happen later on the chapters
Twilight's ego grew as time went on. Rainbow thought of an impossible task that nopony could do and without telling her the task, she gives an offer. Twilight accepts and needs to do the impossible task. She tries but will it completely change life?
Twilight was very skilled in magic and adequate in other places. The one thing she was amazing at was solving problems. One example would be Winter Wrap Up. She always thought that a list and following through it was the answer to everything. Rainbow Dash promised that she knew something that Twilight would not be able to fix with a list or following through it. Nopony could. Twilight had scoffed and said that she would be able to do it if there was a list. Rainbow finally sets the rules. If Twilight manages to finish the task, Rainbow would not prank her for a month. If Twilight wasn't able to do it, then Twilight was not allowed to read for two weeks. Was Twilight up for Rainbow's impossible task or will the task completely change? Only one way to find out...
Warnings: There will be some language in the story
After traveling into the Bermuda Triangle following a vision, Magnus ends up in a place filled with fairytale creatures and a secret concerning his lineage.
After my grandfather passed away I inherited a strange staff from him. I discovered that the staff gave me strange visions of a place I had to go to. I experienced visions, day and night, and in the end I decided to follow them to see where they would take me. I did not expect to be taken away from Earth and sent to a place that defies everything I know, and I certainly did not expect to hear that not all the members of my family were human.
Warning: Contains small amounts of Anthro. Equestria Girls did not happen in this story.
My first fic posted here, told from a 1st person perspective. Rated Teen to begin with, this may change as more ideas develop, but I'll try my best to keep it Teen.
When disaster forces the fierce griffins to seek shelter in Equestrian land, can two very different societies coexist? Or will the ancient enemies tear each other apart?
The ancient and powerful Accipion Empire has conquered every nation on Equus... except one. Despite their apparent weakness, the magic of friendship has protected ponies for many years. Emperor Gaius Renault thought his kind would rule forever, that they would have ample opportunity to conquer their ancient foe.
Nature had other ideas. Beneath their claws was a force of unimaginable power, a volcano whose eruption will devastate the empire and smother their crops for years afterward. Even his most optimistic advisors agree that there is only one choice: evacuation.
Equestria might be friendly, but they are no fools. They send a pony, Starlight Glimmer, to see that the terms of the evacuation are followed, and to help the griffins integrate during their time as refugees in Equestria. But blood runs thick, and old rivalries can't just be forgotten.
The longer Starlight Glimmer watches, the more she is convinced she is witnessing the end of both nations.

A team of multiversal explorers comprised of alternate Sweetie Belles explore fanfic worlds and beyond!
The League of Sweetie Belles was founded by a handful of Sweeties who decided they liked hanging out with each other. What started as a simple club for like-minded white unicorn mares turned into a complex organization with a lot of responsibility. One particular team of Sweetie Belle explorers have taken it upon themselves to explore the multiverse, delving into the lands of ponyfics and beyond.
(If you're not reading from the beginning and just want to look into one chapter relating to a particular story, the SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: The Sweetie Personnel Files blog is your friend. Refer to it whenever you feel you lack context. But don't read the entire thing; use it to look up names.)
(Part of the Songs of the Spheres continuity, but you don't have to read that to understand this. This fic can never never be complete due to its episodic and open nature, and it may never update again—but who knows? As with all SotS stories, there's a Discord server)
Warnings are there since certain fics will require them when they are included. You won't get sex, death, or gore everywhere. You are likely to get violence and some profanity in many chapters.
TD's life in Equestria after the events of Wanderings of a Non-Brony
After the six year journey around the planet in Wanderings of a Non-Brony, The human TD Harrison Powell finds himself in Equestria for good. He sees no choice but to settle down in Ponyville, ready to live the rest of his life as best as he can.
A long forgotten element has been brought back, but for better or for worse?
Equestria has long been known as the land of ponies. However, the name of Equestria is misleading. For far too long, a certain element has been missing from the world. And now, that element has been brought back. But for better or for worse?
Due to site updates resulting in a more restrictive genre listing, I am listing here that on top of the three genres the story is listed under, the story also contains prominent elements of Dark, Tragedy, Sad, Drama, and Adventure.
Also, to set the record straight, this story begins after the end of Season 2, but before Season 3. Therefore, any plot elements from future episodes that may conflict with the plot of this story is effectively noncanon.
Mark Watney is stranded- the only human on Mars. But he's not alone- five astronauts from a magical kingdom are shipwrecked with him.
Twilight Sparkle's experimental interplanetary drive has malfunctioned, stranding Starlight Glimmer, Spitfire, Cherry Berry, a changeling and a dragon on a hostile planet in another universe. With limited food supplies, very little magic, no communications with home, and no way to leave the planet, they must survive until somepony rescues them.
Fortunately they crashed right next door to another creature with the exact same problem- a creature named Mark Watney.
They're going to science the buck out of everything- and do whatever it takes to survive Mars and get everybody home.
Celestia has an offer for Chrysalis, one that will change both their lives forever.
My life was over. Forsaken by my children and with my home in ruins, I took refuge in the deepest, darkest corner of the world as I could. Starving and alone, it was there that I waited for my end to come. However, I did not count on Celestia herself to come searching for me, nor the deal she would offer so eagerly.
I am Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings...
...and this is how I become the Mistress of the Sun.
When Equestria is invaded by humanity, it's not out of greed or conquest, but out of desperation.

However when a portal shows them the realm of Equestria and its endless prosperity, the last of humanity chooses to take up arms, and invade the peaceful country in the name of survival. But many can't help but feel that something else is at work, and that they might be fighting for the wrong reasons.

(Story originally uploaded December 15th to December 19th 2017.)
From the ashes of an ancient apocalypse, an eternal awakens to the new world.
During their childhood within the Castle of Two Sisters, Princesses Celestia and Luna earnestly sought adventure. One venture led them to discover an ancient place that told, using a long and forgotten language, of a time before time, and held a statue of an unknown being. After informing (and enduring a lecture from) their parents, it became the most incredible find that captured the interest of the entire nation.
Long years pass, and the ancient site is forgotten again, except for the attention of archaeologists. What the being is, who it is, and what story the language reveals remain an enigma.
