Commander Shepard crash lands The Normandy on a strange planet filled with weird, talking horses. Of course, he's renegade as shrek, so he could care less.
Disclaimer: If you don't like bad jokes you're gonna hate this.
Commander Bob Shepard is your average zombie space marine, he likes long walks on the beach, crushing the enemy, and destroying things for no reason, but what happens when he goes too far?
It'll be obvious by the end of paragraph two, but I was high when I played Mass Effect.
What happens when Deadpool, the Merc with the Mouth, lands in the magical land of Equestria? Same thing that happens in every cross story, but with more Deadpool!!!
Meet Deadpool: a mercenary, an assassin, and overall, an antihero in the Marvel Universe. He has the ability to quickly heal, thanks to some tests made from the Weapon X Program that healed his incurable cancer, but left his mental stability down the toilet. If any of you know the real Deadpool, don't worry, he's not the same silent freak played by Ryan Reynolds in the piece of s**t prequel starring Hugh Jackman as a short guy with metal claws. If you have no idea who or what is going on, please, look it up. Meet Equestira: A magical land that hosts many mythological creatures, but mostly god horses, unicorns, pegasi, and boring horses. Everything is ruled by two god horses; Princess Sun Butt and Princess Moon Cheeks. Sun Butt rules during the day, controls the sun, protects land from monsters, indulges in male anatomy shaped fruit & cake, and abducts children... at least that's what wikipedia says. Moon Cheeks rules the night, controls the moon, plays with people in the 'apple master race', haunts children as the next Freddy Krueger, and plans how to take over the world when no one is watching. There's also six horses that act as the 'mane' stars and a bunch of other background & side characters that this Fan Base loves... like this girl that... loves... rocks. I don't get it.
While studying an alien spellform, Twilight makes the most important discovery of all time... The one which could doom her planet. | Horror Rationalfic with Lovecraftian & World of Darkness elements. Deconstruction / Subversion of Displaced.
[Rationalfic Deconstruction / Subversion of Displaced] You’ve read the stories of people from Earth being “Displaced”: Their bodies are changed, their minds are warped, and they’re thrown across the multiverse, to whatever world and timeline their supernal "Displacers" decide upon. Well, this story isn’t one of them...
...because when they tried to remake me, I didn’t let them.
A Rationalist Horror story, in which an Occultist from some version of Earth (implied to be the World of Darkness) undermines her own Displacement and ends up as a Self-Modifying Construct. Scientific Inquiry, Philosophical Debate, Rational Discussion, Body Horror, and Existential Hijinks ensue. Themes, Concepts, and Style inspired by HP Lovecraft, Elizer Yudkowsky, Gordon R Dickson, Edgar Allen Poe, Modern Prometheus (Frankenstein), Dresden Codak, World of Darkness, and Friendship is Optimal. Front page on JUL 28th, AUG 12th, OCT 30, and every update after that.
Your story breaks the shitty norm that most displaced stories have in common by being an 'actually interesting story' instead of a powertrip for a horny teen.
This is like brain porn. My head hurts but in a good way.
Author’s Notes
I often find Displaced fics to be more often Miss than Hit with me. Often, they're generic, poorly written, or just do not do anything worth reading with the concept. This is an experiment to trt out a few other concepts which aren’t used often, even by me, including some which directly subvert Displaced as a genre, and maybe even come up with some advice for those authors. This is also a crossover with the upcoming Dragon: The Oroboroi Chronicles, a World of Darkness rulebook which I lead the development team for.
I hope you all enjoy this, and I implore you to leave some feedback in the comments section: I'll experimenting with a few uncommon concepts here, and I'd like to know how people feel about how they're coming across. :3
FAQ
Because people keep bringing these things up...
Horror/Dark Tags
I've had multiple people ask "how bad does it get?" Note the lack of the "gore", "sad", or "mature" tags or anything like that. Yes, there is blood and death at some point in this story, but the real horror of this story comes from the philosophical and scientific quandaries the characters go through: this is "intellectual horror", not "visceral horror".
Length
In the interest of this NOT becoming one of those long, sprawling fics, I plan to keep this limited to a manageable 10 chapter limit, not counting Prologue and Epilogue. No one wants to read something that long, and I'd rather not be stressing over this 6 months from now.
Sequel
The Sequel is already in the works, with scenes already written. It will be a more episodic story revolving around world optimization and interplanar hijinks.
Crossovers
To be clear, I do plan on having the main character make one of those "Token" things, but as they often get in the way of actual stories, that won't happen until the end of the story. The Sequel will be crossover-heavy.

Evergreen Heart has a computer generated Youtube reading, made by Fanfiction Reader. Go check it out.
When ponies armed with terrifying and strange weapons take hostages in Ponyville, a counter-terrorist team from a far away world offers their services to assess and handle the situation. But they may have ulterior motives, something Celestia fears.
Equestria has seen their fair share of dangers and threats made to their land by gigantic monsters and power-crazy lunatics. From all of these threats, the Elements of Harmony have been at the ready to combat them through the unbreakable bonds of the magic of friendship.
However, a new enemy bearing incredibly lethal weapons threatens to leave the Elements helpless against unprecedented violence. When one Element and two others are taken hostage, a group of elite soldiers contact Princess Celestia to offer assistance. They're professional and more than capable, but Celestia fears they may have ulterior motives. Not to mention, there's the fact that they come from another world.
Fluttershy has tried being patient and she's tried the cute routine. But a mare has needs. She wants in your pants. And pony logic dictates that finding your fetish is the way to do it.

An AC-130 traveling through the Bermuda Triangle is transported to Equestria. How will the inhabitants of this world view this strange metal contraption. More importantly the occupants within.
A United States Air Force AC-130 is transported to Equestria while in transit through the Bermuda Triangle. Insanity aside, this motley crew of aviators must juggle their duties while treading the uncertain waters of diplomacy.
Disclaimer: I've decided to write this in an attempt to get a more realistic view of what military in Equestria would act like, rather then the dark brooding kill happy stuff I've read. So with that being said, these guys will act more like diplomats. So there won't be much gore, and they certainly won't be going on a killing spree. (Obviously, as fiction the term realistic is applied loosely. My main goal is a realistic characterization of one specific community within the military. Just keep an open mind about how sub-cultures can exist within an entity as large as the U.S. military and you'll be fine.) Also rated teen for obvious reasons, morbid humor, light swearing, and background stories.

Random guy ends up in Equestria story, yet for reasons unbeknownst to him, he finds himself in an Equestria much like the one he barely remembers from a show he once watched, yet very different in all the wrong aspects.
It can't possibly be because he turned into a changeling right after their infamous invasion.
Right?
And now with an editor. A huge round of applause to Kablam Pony for helping me with editing this story.
A giant round of applause for mix-up for drawing such splendid cover art.

AU: This is literally an alternate Equestria, where grim events happen as normal occurrences, also, the story starts from season 2 and moves up to season 4.
Comedy: who doesn't like to laugh at the misery of a fictional character?
Adventure: if that wasn't obvious I don't know what is.
Dark: Some of you pointed out that it has some dark elements, but don't worry, I will not write anything overboard.
Human: dare I need to state why.
Teen because of a couple of death scenes here and there, no gore, unless it's written in an extremely scientific language.
Oh, it's a shameless self insert by the way. I want to see how much I can write myself as a character in my own story and how much it relates to other characters I have written.

Intrigued, the human accepts and is sent to Equestria to take over Discord's job for a while.
Crossover with the game Smite which is owned by Hi-Rez.
A supernatural man is unwillingly sent to Equestria, tasked to save the land from destruction. Unfortunately, fate isn't always so black and white.
This story is broken into two Eras, where Era 1 sets the stage for Era 2.
Era 1 takes place a thousand years before the happenings of FiM. A powerful relic, capable of manipulating time, is destroyed, releasing chaotic magic all across the land. A group of powerful beings who transcend space and time, the Arch Angels, are called upon to mend the plagues of troubled timelines. One unfortunate Arch Angel, calm and empathetic in nature, shall be sent to Equestria, forced to abandon all that he had, and he will undertake the task of rescuing the land. After his former gang raids his home and attempts to end his and his sister’s life, he emerges victorious and finally looks towards a peaceful future. Fate having it, he instead lands in Equestria. Even with his little knowledge with about his gift, he will stride forward. He will make friends and relationships, some more intimate than others, as he trudges through this slowly sundering world. (E1 has inspiration, but not full integration, from Your Human and You.)
Era 1 is centric on these tags: Action, Adventure, Drama, Dark, Sad, Tragedy, and Romance
Length: TBD
Era 2 takes place during the beginning events of season two in FiM. (E2 is akin to the SoL aspects of the actual show.)
Era 2 is centric on these tags: Adventure, Drama, Dark, Sex, Slice of Life, and Romance
Length: TBD
Advisement, dear reader: E1 is currently undergoing heavy reconstruction. If you had already finished E1 and are reading E2, know that what you read still matters, as the story's premise remains the same, but many events and interactions will be added or changed. E2 is in a temporary hiatus until its antecedent is finished.
Chapters will (eventually) all have images.
Important Context! - The Arch Angels in this story are not from biblical tie, they are not immortal. They are uniquely talented, but they suffer from mortal coils just as any other creature.
Name's Griffin, I'm sarcastic, I'm crude, and I'm a brony.
I'm Griffin, not much else to it. I've been bullied most of my life, which left me bitter and sarcastic. I'm a closet brony. What? You think I'm just gonna go out and tell a world that hates me that I watch a cartoon intended for little girls? I don't feel like giving the punks at school any more ammo. That's when cosmic powers decide I need to take a trip to my favorite fantasy land. But all is not sunshine and rainbows and it certainly won't be after I'm done with it. Equestria from the point of view of an extremely pissed off teenager, with a twist. Rust, the author of 'The Ballad of Echo the Diamond dog' is awesomesauce enough to have a cross over between our stories. Carnelian is a boss when it comes to art. Part of the 'Chess Game of the Gods'.
Violence, gratuitous swearing, and sexual themes. Reader discretion is advised.

After some late night reading, Ocellus detects a sleepless and sexually frustrated Gallus. The changeling decides to go in and see if she could help him, having some fun of her own in the process.

Something new lurks within the wilds of Equestria. Something monstrous.

And now, the ponies inhabiting the town of Hollow Shades will find themselves at odds with what many would call a living nightmare.
First attempt at a displaced fic, featuring a blend of the game Evolve and My Little Pony. If you don't like that sort of thing, then don't read.
Tags may be added later on. Gore tag for mild gore, nothing too overt.

An over-the-top surrealist comedy, with slight serious elements. Expect a steady decline into insanity.
