Shy and timid Nora finally works up enough courage to ask Princess Celestia on a date. However, there might be more to Celestia than Nora originally thought.
Nora has a secret. During the year she's been living in Equestria, she has somehow managed to develope a crush on a pony. Unfortunately for her, said pony happens to be the monarch of the day and bearer of the sun, Princess Celestia. After months of bearing her crush, Nora finally works up enough courage to ask Celestia out on a date. To everyone's surprise—Nora's included—Celestia agrees.
Celestia has a secret. One that nopony save for Luna knows. A secret that might change how Nora feels about the Solar Princess.
After all, in Equestria, 'Princess' is just a title.
Some dreams you might never want to end… …but what happens when the dream really doesn't?
Have you ever had a dream that just seemed so real, that it was impossible to say for certain that it was even a dream at all? A dream that, despite all of its impossibilities, seemed to re-write your entire perception of reality, re-writing your sense of what—and indeed, who—you are? Accepting change is hard enough as it is. But when you're a somebody who wakes up as a somepony, how do you cope with the impact such a drastic change has on your mind and body? With changes like these, it must surely just be a lucid dream—albeit a suspiciously accurate one—just brimming with potential and ripe for exploration. So you might as well suck it up and make the most of these distressingly…unusual circumstances, and seize this psychological adventure before you wake up and the dream ends. After all, this couldn't possibly be real, so the dream must come to an end eventually…right? --- Click this for the audio book version.
When a remarkable spell summons a human mind into the body of a unicorn filly, Princess Twilight Sparkle does the only thing she can think of: Take on an apprentice.
Twilight Sparkle learns that the trust and goodwill of the Princess isn't always a good thing as she's given the trust of an important assignment. When that assignment turns out to be long-term, how will she handle taking care of a filly of her own? How will she handle this strange new filly, who proves to be much more than she appears. As a matter of fact, she seems to be from an entirely separate universe.
Meanwhile, Second Chance has kept only enough of her memories to know that she isn't what she should be. The wonderful world of Equestria has its own dangers, and she seems to have a knack for attracting trouble. The more of her memories return, the more she wishes she could just forget. But you can't forget when all of Equestria depends on you remembering.
Only one thing's for sure: The longer Twilight keeps this strange filly in her care, the stranger her own life will become, and things she thought she knew about Equestria will unravel before her eyes. Strange ancient devices, an eccentric mint unicorn and her so-called "Equestrian Precursor Society" are only the beginning for Twilight Sparkle as she begins a journey of her own. She too may wish she could simply forget. Unfortunately, it's too late for either of them.
I used to be a human girl named Rachel. Now some self-appointed "Spirit of Chaos" (who surely has an ulterior motive) decided to "rescue" me from my fate and give me a second chance. Yeah, being a pastel pony in an insane world is SO much better.
My name is Rachel. Or at least it was. A bad decision brought me to the brink of death. I was "rescued" from that fate by some self-appointed "Spirit of Chaos." Or maybe he really was the devil, I don't know. He promised me a second chance but didn't tell me it would be in the body of a cutesy pony in a world which makes no sense. Worse, I think I've been set up, and something bigger is going on ...
Princess Twilight Sparkle writes pony history by opening a portal to another world and making first contact with extra-Equestrian intelligence. Only snag: the portal opens at a pony ranch on Earth.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/6MrWqNZ.png[/img]Twilight takes on the most important task in her career as a princess of Equestria, when she opens up a magical portal to a distant world with extra-Equestrian intelligence. With her organizational skills and keen understanding of scientific principles, she leads diplomats and scientists in a well-planned expedition to a historic first contact.
The first exchange doesn't quite go without a hitch, however, as the portal opens near a pony ranch at Texas, Earth.
For the purposes of this fic, assume Equestria Girls didn't happen.
A young man finds himself in a world beyond his wildest imaginations...
A young man named Dave, while writing a personal journal about his perceptions of liking the show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", is unexpectedly whisked away into the land of Equestria, where his memories about the world even being part of a show are erased, leaving him lost in an unfamiliar land. Luckily, help comes to him in the form of a pony named Pinkie Pie, who immediately dubs him her new friend, and introduces him to life in Equestria...
You are...you can't remember, so lets just go with Anon. You are Anon, and you have arrived upon Equestria as the result of a magical spell cast by Twilight Sparkle...your new roomate.
When Twilight Sparkle decides to try a new spell she has perfected, she successfully pulls a being from another universe into Equestria. That being coincidentally is a human...that human coincidentally is you. What at first just seems like an opportunity for first contact between two species soon becomes something much more when certain truths are brought to light...and everything you knew about your life is flipped onto its head.
NOTE: At times in this story, the main character's thought process will be shown as an inner monologue with his brain. BRAIN's dialogue will appear in this color of text.
When a magical portal spits out a enraged being, Twilight Sparkle and her friends discover a world being attacked by... them? Now Equestria must go to war and save humanity and its allies before it's too late.
A wondrous portal of light and colors open in Ponyville, one would think it brought good tidings.
They were wrong.
A human, pushed to the brink of madness and misery, attacks the Elements of Harmony. A war, unknown and uncomprehending, being waged for the survival of one species. A power hungry Alicorn setting her sights on new lands.
Now all of Equestria and her people find themselves teetering on the edge of war, war so uncompromising and ruthless against an enemy they all know.
Themselves.
Darkness begins to settle across the entire world, old enemies setting aside their differences for mutual survival.
Now is the time to fight... Now is the time to show the mad so called goddess that they will not bow to her... Now is the time to show Harmony as it is meant to be seen...
The Tyrant has no idea what she has unleashed... But then again... Neither do they.

Hello, all who see this, it is my displeasure to inform you that RedSkin has resigned from Spectrum and, as a part of an agreement, the original version is here for everyone to see unaltered. We, the remaining members of the Spectrum crew, are going to continue things in a new version that will be coming soon.
Please be patient with us as we try to adjust to this period.
Update all, here is the link to the new version SPECTRUM.

"You either die a Hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the Villain."
Jasper William Montgomery, he just turned twenty and is absolutely bored with life. He's not suicidal, depressed, or a drug user with a penchant for drinking, he's just bored. Everything one can do in life, parties, going clubbing, video games, even computers don't really appeal to him. One thing that keeps him sane is watching shows from his youth and the occasional entertaining film. Due to a friends attempt to make him feel better he ends up watching all three seasons of My Little Pony and pretty much laughs at the fictional world. Being labeled a cynic and pretty much given up on by his friends, Jasper is alone. Until he's teleported away to Equestria by an observing Celestia.
This is a story about a human who is hailed as the Monkey King by the Zebras and has somehow, SOMEHOW accomplished in recreating the Persian Empire, with nothing but his wits, unpredicatlbe antics and stupid luck.
(Sex tag just for references, suggestions and dialog. Gore for the later parts of this fic)
(Cover art by me and still under construction)
Well this is something. Greetings fellow peoples or whoever else finds and reads this story. Let me introduce myself, I am simply know as THE MONKEY KING. The king of what you may ask? Well, the king of the Zebras to be precise, or even better, the King of the Achaemidien EMPIRE.
How you may ask? Well to be honest, I have no bloody idea myself. One moment I was simply making myself some coffee just like every morning, and then the next thing I know I get zapped away from my home, reappear out of nowhere in the middle of Desert with both my Coffee and pajamas still on me, followed up by some weird Voodoo prophecy made by the Zebra Shamans about the arrival of an ancient Monkey King who is going to re-unite all the fractured Zebra tribes to once again reform the Zebra Kingdom of old.
That was a mouthful.
That's not all, I went even further then that and somehow, SOMEHOW, managed to take this kingdom and shape it into THIS worlds version of the Persian Empire, thanks to my genius, silly antics, and stupid luck.
Oh and Celly face and Lulu face now see me and my new empire as threat to Equestria itself . Accusing me of "expanding my empire too rapidly" Ooooooooh
All of it accomplished with just one good mug filled with coffee...I mean the mug itself by the way, not the coffee.
This job requires more coffee than it's been medically proven to be unhealthy.
(Also FEATURED in the day this story was released 1/9/2017 I must be cheating the system somehow)

From one barren wasteland to another, less barren wasteland, an Australian IT worker finds himself stuck in the snow where nowhere to go. At least it can't get any worse... right?
From one barren wasteland to another, less barren wasteland, an Australian Information Technology worker finds himself stuck in the snow with nowhere to go. Armed with nothing but a cheap tool set and a three metre Ethernet cable, he must find a way to survive his new location. At least it can't get any worse... right?
Oh of course it can, it's a HIE.
Warning: Contains Australian, Changelings (of course), snow, occasional IT speak, less-than-stellar HIE satire, and shoddy humour not fit for a backyard comedy club.
A meteor impacts the nation of Equestria, Planet Equis. Tranquility is quickly snuffed out when a poison begins to spread violently. The Princesses cannot combat this unknown threat, as no knowledge of it exists. Help comes from an unexpected source.
A Metroid Crossover
A meteor, resistant to magical manipulation, crashes in Equestria, Planet Equis, and soon spreads an unknown poison throughout the land. Containment is all but failing and the Princesses have little power to stop the spread of the Great Poison. The Elements of Harmony are of little use as no knowledge exists of this threat that consumes all life. Help comes from a certain Hunter, clad in metal.
Samus Aran will not only fight for her life as always, but her own sanity as well as these ponies that she begrudgingly starts seeing as allies. New horrors and abilities await her as a reason to fight slowly festers within her, possibly unlocking something she had been denied for so long: Friendship.
Notes and Resources:
This takes place after Echoes. The events of Corruption will have not happened yet. In terms of MLP, consider everything up to and including the Crystal Empire. Princess Twilight does not exist here, etc. The official Metroid Timeline can be found here.
As well, this story references the manga in many places. Reading of it is not required and I try my best to explain the context, but if you're interested, both volumes can be found here.
EDIT: This story was written over two and a half years, beginning in 2013. You'll probably notice the difference in writing as the chapters progress.
Roseluck decides to try and befriend Equestria's only human.
Months have passed since Clyde, the first known human to pop into Equestria, appeared in Ponyville. The ponies had been reluctant to accept the strange creature at first, but had grown used to his presence as time flew by. Not that he cared. All he wanted was to get back home.
So when Princess Twilight told him that her research into the anomaly had come up empty, he was lost. Doomed to be trapped in a land of colorful equine creatures for the rest of his life.
Fortunately for him, a local flower pony decides to make it her mission to befriend him, and show him that maybe he'll actually like it in Equestria.
A normal teenager (who's an anti-brony, by the way) gets sent from a costume party to Equestria, and shenanigans ensue.
After going to that stupid costume party, a teenager named Chris wakes to find himself in a magical world of anthropomorphic ponies. Well, this world seems real enough, and he is dressed as a terrifying, evil wizard, so why not have some fun? Well, after making the wrong impression, Chris, now wanted under the moniker "Malideus", is now running for his life from four vengeful princesses, The Elements of Harmony, a dragon, and every one else who wants a piece of "Malideus". With the whole world out to get him, and no actual powers to speak of, what can Chris do to save himself? Getting his hands on some actual magic would be a start, but using it might take some practice.
The arrival of a strange creature sends ripples through the lives of several inhabitants within Equestria.
A changeling who finds responsibility thrust upon her after the failed Canterlot invasion.
A unicorn who finds herself part of first contact with a strange new creature.
A princess who finds hints of one she long since lost in another's mind.
With the arrival of a strange bipedal creature into Equestria, all three will find themselves intertwined with the fate of the girl. When language cannot be understood how will communication with the new arrival be achieved, and what secrets may the creature be bringing with her? What does the girl possess that may alter how the changeling in particular sees the world.
What could the girl possibly have that would allow one word – hope – to resonate so strongly, not only for herself but also the changeling.
This is a retelling of A Voice Among the Strangers from three viewpoints in particular. You don't have to read AVAtS to read this one, as I will be attempting to make each a full story on their own.
Also, this seems to share a Tv Tropes page with A Voice Among the Strangers!
Anonymous is summoned by Princess Cadance during the Equestria Games. What he comes face to face with is a tearful, brokenhearted mare that needs someone to be there for her.
