Barefoot, nearsighted and lost, a young man wakes to find his life has drastically changed.
One moment he was in his bedroom, trying to get to sleep. The next, he's in a dark forest, with a moon that's twice the size it should be.
An ordinary man finds himself lost in a place with no memory of how he got there, thick darkness all about him and no idea where he is. Now he has to find food, shelter, and somehow a way home.

Human civilization ended on May 23, 2015, when everyone on earth became a pony. In the years and centuries that followed, what would humanity become?
When every human on earth either vanished or was transformed into an Equestrian pony, human civilization ended. That did not mean, however, that the survivors were content to let mankind's legacy rot and be forgotten. In every corner of the globe, ponies and other stranger creatures joined together and did what humanity has always done: survive.
With the help of their ingenuity and a little Equestrian know-how, many of these little colonies would rise to become great cities, and eventually new civilizations. But after such a dramatic transformation, could anything of their original human character survive?
There is one pony whose survival depends on making sure it does: Lonely Day. Transformed into the avatar of her near-extinct species, Archive may live to see all that newly transformed mankind might become. If, that is, she can ensure they never forget what they were.
The road to civilization will not be a smooth one. Before Equestria's universe drifted apart, terrible dangers crossed to earth, dangers earth's pony population may be unprepared to fight. Nor is humanity itself entirely extinct, thanks to careful preparation and powerful technology. Cooperation with the Human Preservation Initiative might be difficult, but it might also be the ponies' only hope.
Through many years of struggle there will be at least one witness: the eternal Lonely Day.
Now has an ePub Version, with the art included for all those with ereaders! Huge thanks to Phoen1x for making it!

I'm a spiteful old man. I've spent my entire life trying to fulfill my wish. The same thing every one of us wants. It's 2070. I'm the last brony alive, 82 years old. But I did it. I created the portal. And I'm jumping through. No regrets.
I'm a spiteful old man. I've spent my entire life trying to fulfill my wish. The same thing every one of us wants.
The year is 2070. I'm the last brony alive, 82 years old. But I did it. I created the portal. And I'm jumping through. No regrets.

In the near future mankind was driven into a biochemical war against an unidentifiable contagion created by an asteroid that struck the planet. Without no cure or any form of escape, mankind buried themselves and awaited their extinction.
In the year 2036 an asteroid dubbed "Apophis" struck the Earth and contaminated fifty percent of its water and atmosphere with an extraterrestrial pathogen dubbed "The SOL Strain." After two years, sixty percent of all human life was gone! With the world's governments struggling to keep their countries together; all seemed lost.
That is where my story begins.
My name is Chloe Cooper and I'm the only known human to be genetically immune to the SOL Virus. During the pandemic, I volunteered myself for experimentation. In order to keep me safe, I and three other humans were locked away in a vault deep within the Appalachian mountains. There these people, who I soon considered my friends, ran many tests on me and the virus, however after months without contact from above it was time to put the project to rest.
Cryostasis pods dubbed: "Cocoons" had been built in case we failed. 16,000 years later I awoke to sirens, signaling a whole host of problems.
And now? I'm the last of my kind.
Character tags will be updated depending on where the story goes
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.
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.
Shortly after Dragonfly's emergence from her stasis cocoon she finds that her situation is still desperately in need of emotional and magical sustenance. The changeling will need to turn to new, lewd, methods of feeding if she hopes to escape mars!
Set just after Mars Ares mission date Sol 287, when Dragonfly, the plucky engineer changeling of the castaway crew of five Equestrians cohabiting with Mark Watney (recently stranded Earth astronaut), has emerged from her self-imposed exile in a long term cocoon.
She'd imprisoned herself out of concern for her crewmates when her stock of magical energies dropped so low that she found herself attacking Mark Watney to drain him of his delicious emotions and magic. Her months-long sentence helped her to recover... but not fully.
With nothing else to support herself with, Dragonfly turns to a forbidden source of magical and emotional sustenance, long-denied to changelings: lust.
Follow along as she desperately tries to convince Starlight Glimmer and Mark Watney to do the dirty deed together... so that she can refuel off their little tryst!
SPOILER: Contains human on pony action! If you find such things squick, look elsewhere!
A human with powers, which he does not know how to fully control, ends up in equestria with his little sister after their home was destroyed.
Daniel was you're average person, 19 years old and not long to finishing college. On his last day everything he knew went wrong when he met a strange Unicorn. After his encounter he died but he was reborn later and merged with something nicknamed 'The Heart'. While this gives him quite a range of powers, he also finds out his mental state is unchanged and he can't fully control them.
With his lack of training with his powers it makes him determined to train and learn to control them so he can avoid hurting himself, and others. As he does this he also does all he can do to keeps himself from using his powers a lot in public, fearing it will hurt his sister Annabelle or it will lead to them them being discovered.
Not long after a event that leaves them without their parents, they enter Equestria and just wish to live peacefully without any of the ponies knowing what they are and what Daniel is capable of, but I seems that fate has other plans for him.

This story is meant as a companion to Harmony Defended, and to take the place of the long-anticipated revision. I decided it would be better to write something new than to overhaul something that was so long in itself. This story will probably spoil various elements of that one, though the reverse will largely not be true. If all of this seems confusing, you should probably start with my first story in this series, My Little Apprentice. As that story was written in Season 4, this one will not necessarily incorporate the canon of future seasons of Friendship is Magic.
The Sunset Campaign was sponsored by Two Bit on my Patreon, who is generously sponsoring me to clean up my tangled web of previous stories. Sparktail and Two Bit did the editing, and Zutcha did the cover.
Within The Conversion Bureau Universe, Newfoal immigrants face settling new lands within Equestria. Unfortunately, not one of them knows how their new universe actually works.
A direct continuation of '27 Ounces: A Tale of Eight And One Half Ponies', the lives of a family of newfoals from their very first arrival in Equestria is followed. Join Caprice, Alexi, Pumpkin and Buttermilk in their day-to-day lives as they adapt not only to being humans-turned-Equestrian, but struggle to help found a new village in the ever expanding Exponential Lands. This is a story of courage, survival, and the process of bringing a new landscape under proper Equestrian dominion. Starting without weather, shelter, or any understanding, these brave newfoal pioneers face daunting odds.
Knowledge of the previous novel is not needed to enjoy this tale.
||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.
Theo knew arctic research was dangerous. He didn't know those dangers involved getting sucked into other worlds, changing into a bird, and having to somehow find a way home. Turns out it was more dangerous than he thought.
Theodor Pichler knew joining the Barrow Observatory's winter crew would be a difficult position. He thought he knew the danger--freezing temperatures, gale-force winds, and terribly spotty broadband coverage. What he didn't expect was for an experimental new telescope array to interact with an unusual storm and send him screaming helplessly into the sky.
Instead of falling to his death, Theo landed in an alien world, populated by colorful horses he can't understand. What's worse: the body he landed in isn't his own, and he's not sure anything is where it should be. Having wings might be cool if he didn't have to be naked all the time...
With limited supplies and no help from the Observatory, Theo has to somehow navigate this new land, making new friends and encountering terrible dangers along the way. It will take all his cleverness, and a healthy dose of luck, if he's ever to be human again.

Alex Weaver’s day couldn’t have been worse; an uncomfortable call from his mother, a surprise visit at work from his ex-girlfriend, and a trillion-dollar device exploding in his lab, transporting him to some frozen wasteland. Damn Mondays.
Twilight has the opportunity of a lifetime. For the past few months, she has been tirelessly toiling to successfully teleport an asteroid from low-Equan orbit, to be the first to touch a piece of the sky. But at the moment of truth, Discord rears his face, and things go pear-shaped. Now, tired and depressed, Twilight feels like her chance to contribute to the knowledge of ponykind is slipping from her grasp.
On Earth, things are going swimmingly. More than thirty years have passed since the Great Reformation, and Humanity finally stands united in their strive for peace and progress. Poverty has been all but eliminated, space is beginning to be colonised, and Earth’s government and its citizens have a healthy relationship. Usually.
In a bizarre turn of events, a scientist vanishes in a flash from his lab, leaving his colleagues and superiors intrigued. It likely would have remained a mystery, another entry to the Universe’s long list of the unexplained. It would have been pondered, and eventually forgotten, had they not received a message back.
A message containing coordinates to a curious star.
Warning: May contain math, science, linguistics, and interspecies sex. You have been warned.
Twilight discovers a long forgotten truth about the universe. She is very surprised by this, and so is Celestia.
Twilight once thought she knew everything there was to know about cutie mark magic. She was wrong. As it turns out, there is a lot more content out there when it comes to cutie mark magic, unlocking that potential is something not just any pony can do, much to the frustration of a certain white-coated alicorn princess.
This is a dumb one-shot vaguely inspired by a writing prompt found on Reddit, and was a caffeine fueled midnight adventure into the wonderful world that is fan-fiction. As my second ever fanfic, first ever completed fanfic, and first upload on this site, I don't expect greatness, but what better way is there to learn and improve?
Feel free to point out any errors I might have missed, as well as anything that is particularly irritating to read, or that doesn't make sense grammatically. Most of all though, hope you enjoy!

Instead of getting Spike a birthday present, Twilight finds herself trapped in a closed universe. A fictional universe, she believes, where nothing is real. Mike has a different opinion about that.
(A PoE story.) Additional Tags: (Slice Of Life) All Twilight wanted was to give Spike a special gift for his birthday. Yes, it was a book, but it was a very special book. An Enchanted Book like that Power Ponies comic they had recently experienced. Things went wrong when Spike startled Twilight as she was working the spell for his (secret) gift. Needless to say, startling Twilight while she's in the middle of a spell can be a bad idea - as certain frogs can tell you. Twilight has every reason to believe that she is now trapped in a closed reality bubble fabricated out of her own magic, with no way out. She's lost in some made-up universe reflecting some random story line. Mike, of course, has a different opinion about the matter.
WARNING: Both Twilight and Mike love talking technical and explaining things to each other. CHAPTERS HAVE NOW BEEN RE-ORGANIZED This most excellent cover art was provided by Void Heart Twilight's World now has an audio reading. Read by No One and Nobody.
Celestia and Luna were created by aliens to rule Equestria in the name of their creators. They decided not to. Everything worked out okay, until their creators returned to collect their due. That's when Twilight Sparkle got involved...
When a race of powerful ancient beings return to Equestria after an absence of thousands of years, it isn't to the sort of world they expected. Twilight Sparkle is now the first and last line of defense in a conflict that will decide the future of her planet.
Yes, there is life on other planets. This would be fascinating news to Twilight, had they come under more peaceful circumstances. Unfortunately, Thanks to Equestria's princesses, that life is angry and has come for its due.
Art by the fantastic Zutcha, as usual. Editing by Two Bit and Sparktail.
This story was written based on a simple idea from the HiE group forums. I haven't followed the idea exactly, but there's still a spoiler warning for those who want to check it out.
It all happened so suddenly. Everyone in the USA was living their life, then they were not on Earth. For those living on the mainland, they were still together, on a new continent. Others were thrown to the ponies, or the griffons. It gets worse.
It all happened so suddenly. One moment everyone in the USA was living their life, then in the next they found themselves no longer on earth. For those living on the mainland, they were still together. Others were thrown to the ponies, or the griffons. It gets worse.
The president is in a panic, the entire government is. How can they not be? All connection to the known powers of the world, suddenly cut off. The stars in the sky are all wrong, but who has time for that? There is no more oil coming in, Alaska's production just... stopped. Are those people alive, or are they back on Earth?
