When Equestria is invaded by humanity, it's not out of greed or conquest, but out of desperation.
In 2045, humankind declared a war that would nearly eradicate them. For 20 years, mankind engaged in the self-inflicted suicide of nuclear war. It is now 2087, and humanity has looked past its differences and have united under the banner of "The Survivors". But the Earth is dying, and humanity is only a little over 50,000 strong. 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.
A German column running from the Russians gets stuck in Equestria. They get tangled up in a war between Equestria and the Gryphon Empire. Can they turn the tide?
((Edit: Wooo, we made the front page. Yes! *Hoof pump*))
A German Panzer column during world war 2 gets pulled into Equestria where they stumble upon the crystal empire. Meanwhile, Equestria's hostile northern neighbour, The Gryphon Empire, is gearing up for war. Will the Germans be able to turn the odds in Equestria's favour?
Princess Cadance resurrects her husband without his memories. Shining Armor suspects something else is going on.
Shining Armor goes to sleep one night and wakes up in the future, having been resurrected by his wife Princess Cadance for the fourth time. All of his memories of the past century are missing, and his kingdom is nearly unrecognizable.
As Shining struggles to make sense of the new world around him, he begins to suspect there's more to the story he isn't being told...
A pianist from Earth is summoned to Equestria - to become a piano-playing playing slave.
A pianist from Earth is home on a lonely Saturday, getting ready to enjoy his weekend, when he is suddenly summoned to Equestria - only to find himself being held captive by The Great and Powerful Trixie, who plans to use him as a piano-playing slave in her show.
If you came here looking for the sequel, 'The Piano Man: Act II', it can be found here.
The Piano Man is free, but must now recover from his captivity and adjust to life in Equestria.
The Piano Man has spent the last month in captivity, forced to play the piano as part of The Great and Powerful Trixie's traveling show. Now he's free, and recovering under the care of the Equestrian monarchy while Trixie awaits trial for her crimes. All is not well, however. The Piano Man has a long road of recovery ahead, and all the time he must compete with overbearing carers, his own mental trauma, and even discrimination from members of Equestria's unicorn supremacist subculture.
This story is the kinda(can't stress that part enough) better-written sequel to 'The Piano Man'. Because the first story involved some rather dark scenes, I have included a helpful catch-up in the first chapter - so if you have no interest in reading a dark story, then you can ignore the first piece and skip straight ahead to this one. 'The Piano Man: Act II' is most certainly not a dark story, and neither is it sad. The sad tag is in place for scenes in which I reference the previous installment, and nothing else.
The absolutely amazing cover image was created by the even more amazing WIL_I_ZIN, (deviantART) who is just... just awesome, for helping out.
Prince Antares, formerly the human TD Powell, helps lead the ponies of Equestria through the trials and tribulatons his nation endures.
Prince Antares, formerly the human TD Powell, has ascended to rule Equestria alongside Celestia and Luna to form the Equestrian Triumvirate. Taking his residency in Baltimare, Antares comes into his role as smoothly as he can, given the circumstances.
But not all is right with the world.
A warmongering king in the newly formed minotaur nation has just allied with the griffin empire, a country that recently gained a leader unfriendly to Equestria. Now Antares will face his first true test as an alicorn prince of Equestria. He must lead his peace loving ponies into the hells of war, and face an Equestria that will never be the same.
What's a man to do when he's dropped into a literal wonderland? Try not to ruin it, that's what.
In the not-so-distant future, things don't pan out as everyone would hope. It would be much more accurate to say it all went wrong. Where did it happen, you ask? Where did the dream fall apart? Who knows. All we know today is that it happened, and that it's very real.
Rarely does life give a second chance. Rarely does it offer a favored deal, even to those that deserve it. That must make you awful rare, then.
Thrust into a world oddly familiar, yet so peculiar after a self-imposed mission gone awry, you find yourself staring down what could be a disguised wonderland. But one question plagues your mind.
What's the catch?
A second person story with you as Anonymous, with looks inside other characters as well. Set in the Reverse Gender Role Equestria universe. Tags added as story progresses
Dark times lay ahead for the ponies of Equestria. A dark force comes to take their lands and their magic, to leave them all but helpless. Subjugated to life under a tyrant, their only salvation will come in the form of a champion, a champion who wrestles bears for fun. Zangief, the Red Cyclone, is their only hope.
Unfortunately for them, he's playing for the wrong team.
Zangief will be based on all of his best traits with as much personality as I could find from within his quotes. Don't take this story too seriously, it's done for fun. All my information came from the games and comics. LARIAT.
A certain stallion of the Royal Guard has been 'staring at the sun' for too long. But with the help of his rather peculiar roommate, Brick’s about to learn the dangers of flying too close to the sun.
Brick Break wasn't the brightest stallion in school and he sure as hell wasn't the luckiest, but he worked hard; from nighttime bouncer to royal bodyguard, he made something of his life. With food on the table, a roof over his head, and the closest thing to financial security one can hope for in this economy, Brick achieved the Equestrian dream, mostly; there was just one thing missing-- friendship. Laughter, loyalty, comradery.
Brick didn't need a roommate, and soliciting one in a big city like Canterlot was just asking for trouble. Frosty had just sort of... happened. Hoarfrost Glitter, his roommate. With her help, he might finally find some peace in this world. After all, existence is suffering, but misery loves company.

A struggling young adult finds herself in Tartarus as the nefarious Cozy Glow. If she wants to go out and freely explore all of Equestria with her villainous buddies... she was first going to have to change this evil filly's future.
I wasn't the most consistent fan of My Little Pony, in all honesty. In fact that show wasn't the only thing on my list of interests. For a long while I had left those colorful ponies in the dust. I practically missed seasons 7-8 because I had gotten bored. However... it was the last season that drew me back in. I guess I now know a bit about the show, but not everything. I definitely knew of Cozy Glow however. She was hated by everyone. Well, except me. For some reason I liked her as the mischievous little filly she was. Her character interested me and I wanted to learn more. I wanted to see what kind of history she had. Why did she decide to turn evil? She was probably the only reason I went back to previous seasons.
You could guess how disappointed I was when the finale came up. Instead of helping her, they turned her to stone. Instead of trying to figure out the issue, they left her behind to be forgotten. Everyone cheered and laughed while Cozy, Chrysalis, and Tirek were turned into statues for the rest of eternity. I was displeased. Afterwards I drifted away and instead tried to focus on my work. I had to, after all. I was becoming an adult. I was growing up. Though the stress might pile up on me, I had to keep going. I had to get things done...
I could keep going... couldn't I?
It seems however that the universe had decided to drag me back into a world of rainbows and magic. Imagine my surprise when I suddenly woke up the next day inside a cage in the deepest, darkest chambers of Tartarus. Not only that but also as the small pink bundle of feathers that everyone loathed and despised. A billion questions rang through my head but the most prominent ones of all continuously pounded against my skull: What in the holy hell do I do from here? And how do I stop what comes next?
[Note: This is half a self-insert and half not really. This character is different from me but does have a few traits from me as well. Like cursing, I curse a lot, but there are some traits here and there I don't really have.]
What happens when The Rookie from Ghostbusters The Video Game gets sent to Equestria by accident? Chaos.

(Note: Rated teen because some swears might be in it.) (REWRITE CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS)
A man is found beaten to death. The weapon appears to be...hooves? The Equestrian Royal Intelligence Service cooperates with human law enforcement to solve the murder.
You finally gather the strength to inform a certain yellow pegasus that you possess feelings for her.
Fluttershy has always struck you as the most down-to-earth, beautiful, and angelic of ponies. No other has captured your heart like she has. But of course, she doesn't know that. In this particular encounter with the dainty, timid mare, you finally confess feelings, and things go a place you never could've dreamed.
Short stories about Twilight's and Raegdan's life in the years before the events of The Lunar Guardsman
Twilight Sparkle has a special guardian while under the tutelage of Princess Celestia. A creature that turns intensely violent at the slightest threat against his charge. A creature that will maim and kill without concern if it has to, that will do anything to keep those it loves safe. These are not these stories. These are the stories from the inside. The stories that make a makeshift family work. The small moments. The little secrets. The normal life.
Short stories about Twilight's and Spike's life before the events of the Lunar Guardsman. Maybe a little funny, maybe a little sad, maybe a little sappy, certainly not on any chronological order. Chapters posted whenever I am taken by the mood to write one.
This is a collection of prequel stories to The Lunar Guardsman, an M rated story currently in progress by yours truly.
Many of the chapters are worthy of the Comedy tag, some of the Sad tag, and a couple of the Dark tag.
||ON HIATUS|| The Stillness is coming. It's up to the heroes of Equestria to defend their home, with perhaps a little help from an unwitting refugee.
||ON HIATUS||
The Multiverse. An immense and diverse place, home to countless Planes of existence, each a universe all their own. One organization tries its hardest to keep these Planes in line, and govern the nigh infinite souls that occupy them. But even with a galaxy's worth of agents and the power of the Prime Material Plane at their disposal, something occasionally slips their radar.
Sam is one of those things. An unassuming, twenty-something who one day finds himself stranded in another world. Luckily for him, the inhabitants of Equestria take friendship very seriously. The Elements of Harmony take it upon themselves to befriend and welcome him to Equestria. It certainly doesn't hurt that he's the first and only human ever seen on their planet.
However, all good things must come to an end. Equestria finds itself under attack, both by unknown creatures and beings similar to the country's newest inhabitant. Sam and the Elements must find a way to beat them back, but first they need to figure out who in the Nine Hells this new enemy is.
So begins my first HiE, let alone my first story to be published here. I hope it will be my longest piece to date (even if I never submitted most of my others). I have a long way to go before I can be a professional writer, but that's what this is all about, isn't it? Exercising our writing muscles in a place where some may find enjoyment in our attempts to improve ourselves. So please, lay into me. Tell me what I'm doing wrong, I implore you. It is the only way I will grow as a writer. And, if I can set aside my stubborn pride long enough to learn something, perhaps I will do just that.
P.S. This story is set immediately after the events of Season 3, but before EQG. Yes, that is going to be canon in this universe. Why? Because it suits my purposes, that's why.
Berry Punch is fine with waiting for a while. After all, isn't that what hospital waiting rooms are for? It's not as if she's used to it by now or anything...
Berry Punch is fine with waiting for a while. After all, isn't that what hospital waiting rooms are for? It's not as if she's used to it by now or anything. Ponies come in, ponies go back, ponies leave. It's a regular cycle, and the sounds and sights are familiar. Usually she's here for a different reason, but today?
No, there's something she has to do.
First she just has to wait a bit and sort out her thoughts. Maybe then she'll know the right thing to do.
Warning:This is not a comedy. Also, this is a follow up to the Berry Punch characterized in When You Least Expect It, and contains the name Anon. Please be aware of this before you read.
A creature of old has been present in Equestria since the beginning of the rule of the alicorns, watching, waiting. He saw their fall and the sisters' rise to power. Now, for the first time in eons, he steps from watching and takes action.
A man named Jason wakes up in Equestria as a changeling, and must quickly adapt to blend in and survive. Making use of unlikely allies, can he forge a usable existence into this strange and surprisingly hostile new world?
Based on a true story. Kinda. Not really. A man named Jason previously led a rather melancholy life before he died violently. No surprise there. But as he wakes up in Equestria and is thrown into a foreign body, he is forced to survive with the guise of a changeling. Taking place shortly after the failed changeling invasion of Canterlot, how can he keep from being revealed by new security measures, and blend into this new world, while making use of the most unlikely of allies? But of course, avoiding ponies only turns out to be the easy part when trouble has a habit of reading its ugly head. Really though, what could go wrong?
