Two friends must face what the essence of identity means to them.

Features Enhanced Audiobook Version.
Queen Chrysalis likes it when I boop her on the nose. It helps her relax. However, one day, Princess Twilight Sparkle bursts in, thinking that Queen Chrysalis has put a spell on me.
Surely, when I explain to her that I boop her, she'll understand. Right?
Right?
Inspired by a delightful flash game that can be found here.
Featured on August 28th, 2016. This is as unexpected as it is amazing.
Luna is not the only wanderer in the world of dreams.
Every night, Princess Luna soars through the land of dreams, shepherding the minds of her subjects. It is lonely, thankless work, forgotten by the ponies she helps as soon as the sun rises.
Luna is not the only one who stalks in the night. Monsters, yes, predators that glide in the dark spaces between the stars. But there are other wanderers as well, spirits who step easily between the worlds. Sometimes she meets them.
And sometimes she comes back with them.
An homage to Luna and little siblings everywhere. Keep up the good fight.
Elias "Rubrum Aquilae" Bright, the former leader of the Legio I Americana, on the run from his past, finds himself thrown into the conflicts of Equestria.
Elias Bright is a survivor. He has survived the end of the world. He has survived the deaths of his family. He has survived the death of all that he has built. On the run from a past that haunts him to his core, he finds himself in Equestria, a land of tranquility and peace. Elias now has a choice. Does he give up the only life he has known, that of a survivor, and settle with the ponies of Equestria, or will his past deeds come to drag him back into the dark past he has tried to bury?
Anon is sick of mares (especially Luna) treating him like he can't defend himself. He decides to show her his power levels. RGRE story.
Ever since he arrived in Equestria, Anon's been treated like a "poor little stallion", with all the mares assuming he's like the other colts. Even Luna shares her worries. Anon is pretty sick of this.
Not all changelings are fit for life in a hive. But that doesn't mean they're capable of life outside it, either. Join one such changeling as he tries to find his place in Equestria, and what the difference is between survival and living.
Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.
But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.
Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?
Photocopying your butt and mailing it has a long, glorious, and stupid history in Equestria.
Nobles have long held sway over Equestrian culture. They are the trendsetters, the heads of the pack. Simply the way they speak can influence language. When they create compliments, similarly-phrased praise spreads throughout the nation. When they implement insults, ponies create situations for those insults to be used. One insult, in particular, has gone down in history as especially infamous.
I'm talking about butts and the photocopying thereof. This is still Equestrian nobility, after all. It's complicated. And stupid. Mostly stupid.
A young man wakes up in Equestria as a very adorable Alicorn colt, gets forcibly adopted by Luna, and tries to find his way home.
Dark Tag is for Black Comedy and slightly morbid situations!
A young man by the name of Oliver Leaf finds himself trapped in another world...as a young colt. A young Alicorn colt.
As if this wasn't bad enough, he's got a terrifying enthusiastic blue one trying to mother him, a pink one competing to do the same, and a white one who does nothing except watch on in amusement.
Add all of this on top of the other personalities that keep trying to take control of his body, and it's little wonder why he keeps trying to run away. Especially when not all of them are quite as innocent as he would like.
This story is very similar when compared with To Run From The Sun, if only because of its short chapters and OOC ponies.
Rated Teen for suggestive scenes and the occasional bit of colorful language.
The Anniversary Day for The Conversion Bureau Genre is celebrated with new visions of the concept!
The Conversion Bureau genre was created on March 23rd, 2011. I chose to celebrate the anniversary of the humble origins of one of the most potent and unique of all MLP:FIM subgenres of fanfiction through the invention of completely original, shockingly new visions of the central concept.
Visit a universe where Luna and Celestia are mountain-sized supercomputers. A universe where the Singularity is defined by a toy in a dead man's hands. A universe where Mankind has spread to the stars and the latest fashion is designer bodies. See the Conversion Bureau in new guises, through fresh eyes, as never before.
Earth pony, pegasus pony, unicorn; a newfoal will become one. But there is provision for one other.
Earth pony, pegasus pony, unicorn; a human entering a Conversion Bureau will end up as one of these three pony forms. But there is a secret provision, to which all Bureaus must adhere utterly, should one unlikely but intolerable transformation somehow occur. The absolute monarch of Equestria fears nothing from the human world. Nothing save this. Lillian Fogarty wanted only to be a simple pony in Equestria. Sought by the combined forces of Earth's corporate government and the might of Equestria itself she finds herself an abomination in both worlds, her survival almost certainly an impossibility.
A young woman is given a holocorder to document her experience of going through a Conversion Bureau.
Recruited by the Worldgovernment, a young woman is given a holocorder to document her experience of going through a Conversion Bureau, and her experiences after. This is the text transcript of her hypernet holofeed. This story takes place in Year Three of the expansion of Equestria.
Princess Celestia is stricken with a terrible illness that causes her to violently cuddle anypony she can get her hooves on.
A startling situation arises when Princess Celestia begins acting crazily and violently cuddling the ponies around her. Fearing the breakdown of the government, Princess Luna and one of Canterlot's most unfortunate doctors hatch a plan to cure her by letting her cuddle the daylights out of a Royal Guard.
A poor break-up sends Spike to the most understanding of the Six. She sends him to bed.
Spike shows up on Fluttershy's doorstep at the crack of dawn, professing heartbreak and asking for a shoulder to cry on. Fluttershy does as every pony should: she makes him a pot of tea, and sends him off to bed.
This is the story of where that takes them.
This turned out to have three endings. In order they are Bad, True, Happy, and have been placed in the story where they would have occurred had I written them 'in flow' if you will. They are not tied to each other and you only need to read the one you want to get an end to the journey. Thank you to everyone who supported this to the end. It was a lovely trip

Featured briefly on 12/22/16! Thanks all, for the wonderful Christmas gift! Featured briefly every time I actually update! You guys have no idea how happy that makes me, thank you so much!
While on a job to deliver supplies to a new colony in the Andromeda Galaxy, something goes horribly wrong. David Lawson finds himself the sole surviror of a devestating crash on an unknown world. An unkown world full of colorful talking ponies...
Note* This story is prewritten and will be updated weekly.
In the year 2037, humanity developed the technology to travel across galaxies. Several companies sprang up with intent to travel to the Andromeda galaxy and develop Earth's first colony. David Lawson joined one such company, but on the flight back to Earth, something went terribly wrong. Now, David has crash landed on an unknown planet. He is all alone... or so he thought.
Midnight Shadow, a unicorn mare from Canterlot, takes responsibility for the strange alien creature and saves his life, but can he even make a life for himself in this new world? Can he ever find happiness? Security? Love?
The way certain characters act was inspired by a few other stories on here, namely Fleeting Flames, To Find a Rainbow, and Lyra's Confession. I highly recommended you read those if you haven't yet.
Also, this is my first story ever, so please be gentle. Tagged with violence due to a small fight in chapter 3 and descriptions of blood and burn wounds. Nothing too crazy, but tagged just to be safe. Tagged with sex because of sex.
If this story is any good whatsoever, I attribute that to my best friend and fantastic editor AJ. Also, I would probably have far more spelling mistakes and bad grammar if not for BurningDusk. He read through all of my crap before hand and made sure it was legible.
Fantasies and dreams are not meant to be real, but an entire town clearly didn’t get the memo. Now, Luna has to save the citizens of Horseshoe Bay from the mistakes of one from Beyond.
Dreams can take strange turns, but lucid dreams are not supposed to. That’s the whole point, to change the dreamworld through lucidity. However, when he tried messing around with his own subconscious, William signed up for far more than he ever thought he was going to.
Now, Reality seems to be following arbitrary rules, cartoon logic and the fact that he cannot change back from his ridiculous alicorn form is just vanilla icing on the bizarre cake.
And unbeknownst to him, a certain Princess is infuriated by the intrusion in her domain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
That awesome piece of coverart was drawn by the equally awesome mix-up, that you can also find on his dA account here.

Featured on December 22nd, 2015. An early Christmas present!
A friendly stranger delivers some unsettling knowledge about Life, the Universe, and Everything.
A visitor arrives in Equestria, bearing a wealth of knowledge and a troubled past. The Mane 6 are quick to befriend the stranger, who helps them to discover what they truly value in life, and how to achieve it.

Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow escaped following the Battle of the Bell. Are they planning vengeance? Or have they found their own happy ending?
At the conclusion of the Battle of the Bell, the three villains were incapacitated by a giant cupcake. But when the cupcake was poofed away, the trio of doom were nowhere to be found. For over a year, Equestria has stood sentry against their inevitable attempt at revenge.
Now two retired monarchs are about to discover that somehow, against all odds, the greatest threats in Equestria's history may have found the impossible; a happy ending.
If eating too much cake was the worst since I became Celestia I would be happy... but I guess I am not that lucky.
For a 1000 years she has been the sun of the Kingdom of Equestria, the sole ruler and forever the mother of her little ponies. but not everything is as it seems. Celestia is not just any alicorn princess, there is something that made her change several things, that made her act different sometimes, or at least for the last 3 centuries, why?
Because now... I am Celestia.
And now I know the meaning of sacrifice, of pain, of how power can hurt.
But now, I wonder, can I save everyone and bring back the real Eternal Sun back home? Or is the world doomed to be destroyed? Am I worthy of this crown? Well, they say Hope Rides Alone and it has a White Coat.
Of course... that doesn't mean I cannot have fun from time to time.
