Celestia and Luna decide they want to visit Equestria and see what life is like from their point of view. What could possibly go wrong?
Having learned much about Equestria from both Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, the two principals from CHS have always been curious about what the world is really like. Luna finally proposes the idea that the two should find out themselves just what its like to be a pony...and not just any pony but royalty as well. What could possibly go wrong in this situation?
Twilight could probably name about thirty of them.
During her brother's surprise wedding, Twilight meets a demon from her past that overturns the lives of everypony around her, and threatens to tear apart their friendships. Meanwhile, Twilight's enemies, old and new, close in as her spirit fails.
Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. My brothers are Shining Armor, captain of the Royal Guard, and a dragon named Spike that I hatched when I was little. I have five friends that help me wield the Elements of Harmony, artifacts that protect Equestria from evil. I have a few other friends that are less important, but still great ponies nonetheless.
One catch, though. I am also a changeling Queen, and the friends and family I just mentioned are all my subjects, and children as well. They don't even know it, but everything's working out alright, so no reason to tell them! After all, it's not like a giant wave of love energy could suddenly reveal all the changelings in Canterlot, right? Right?
Part 1, Revelation: Twilight Sparkle meets an old enemy that reveals a secret she's kept since she was named.
Part 2, Recollection: The Elements of Harmony try to get to the truth of the matter, changeling Queens begin their game of chess, Queen Citlali takes her Hive and runs from Canterlot.
Part 3, Reformation: Queen Citlali begins to grow her hive, Whitetail Hive takes some time to get used to the news, Princess Cadance dreams of a dark creature.

After an evil necromancer curses some of the mane six's closest friends, they're forced to reconcile to the fact that there might not be a cure. What does a pony do who only has a year to live?
What's a pony to do when they know they've only got a year to live?
That's the question facing some of the ponies closest to the mane six, after a horrible curse has stolen all but their last year of life away. As Twilight Sparkle scrambles desperately for a cure, they're forced to face the awful reality that she might not find it in time.
It's heat season and you have no idea what it means. And AJ might think you'd make for a good pa'. Especially right now.
You've been working on the apple fields for almost a year. Heat season is here, and nopony told you what it really means. AJ can't take it anymore.
Another green I made a while ago. Simple smut, don't go in expecting something as lovey dovey as 'academic purpose'. I'm not that great at writing AJ, it was more practice than anything else.
Tags; 2nd person, AiE, HiE, horny background pony in heat, human and horse falling in love while doing it, accidental impregnation and worst of all a happy ending Also, bad spacing and structure, and sadly, no Trump jokes.
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
The Dazzlings, and their malevolent Battle of the Bands, have left Vice Principal Luna discouraged and feeling powerless. To have any hope of solace... she'll have to have a long talk with herself.
For as far back as she can remember, Vice Principal Luna has had no choice but to stand by and watch her well-meaning sister get in all sorts of trouble. Now, with supernatural threats appearing from another world, Luna finds herself losing faith in her ability to make any real difference in her students' lives, or Celestia's.
Perhaps a visit to that other world will provide some perspective.
Herman always thought that ponies were an exceedingly friendly bunch, and he figured it was in their nature to be kind and open to all strangers—even to those of different races. But what if he was wrong? What if there was another explanation?
He mentions this fact in his memoirs, but shortly after he sends them to be published he is informed that the Royal Guard wants him for questioning in Canterlot.
When the CMC asked Discord to help them attend magic school, he pulled an owl out of his hat. Only he didn't exactly have a hat. Which was okay, since their new school had a singing one laying around. Where the hay was Hogwarts anyway?
Three curious fillies...check Owl delivered school letters ... check Boy named Harry Potter ... check Dash of Discord ... check
This can't possibly end well.

Time has forgotten him, but when Luna returns from the moon, he comes back to Equestria. What zany adventures will this ancient being get into once he returns to a peace-loving land?
Ages ago, Firefly flew across the Rainbow, to find help in dealing with Tirek. She came back with a human, Megan Williams. The Diplomat to Ponykind, wielder of the Rainbow of Light.
That was not the only help the wild magic of the land brought forward.
A human appeared near a magical fountain, near a mare that carried two fillies inside her. Armed with a sword that could slay anything and unending life thanks to said fountain, this second human came back with the mare to Dream Valley, and earned a reputation as The Sword, for he defended Ponykind against the darkness when the Diplomat could not soothe things over.
That was two ages ago. Time moved on. The Windigoes came. The Unification happened. Discord happened. The Crystal Empire happened. And the human remained by his foster daughter's side through all of this.
Until Nightmare Moon happened, and he nearly raised his sword against his daughter.
So he left, to seek solace, to seek guidance from the world itself from what he'd nearly done. But when the mark on the moon vanished, the human took note of that...and the day that happened afterwards.
Now...he's come home.
ADDITIONAL TAGS: Adventure, all the ponies. This is essentially a rewrite with one more character being added into the mix, to see what happens. He's not a 'seventh element of harmony.' I will admit in later chapters he might seem overpowered, but remember...
Whatever magic you practice...has a price. He just has the ability to bounce back from almost anything...eventually.
Warning: There will be sex in later chapters. And this is another story the Ausbrony and I have written together. Rather than seperate it out, I'm just gonna tag it Mature now.

You, how did you do this, you thought it was impossible, but you guess not.
On a regular day you did the usual, go to Sugar Cube Corner then to the gym, then the rest of the day is your oyster. There was this one occasion where you were invited by Fluttershy to help her with her animals, funny thing was that Rainbow Dash was there as well, but you don't remember that day very well, until they both came to your house to tell you some shocking news.
With Princess Cadence and Prince-Captain Shining Armor out on a date together, Thorax is charged with caring for their darling filly. Which means tonight is the perfect time for important things like pouncing lessons, complete with live guards to surprise!
Humanity's space exploration ultimately took the form of billions of identical probes, capable of building anything (including astronauts themselves) upon arrival at their destinations. One lands in Equestria. Things go downhill from there.
There are 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and humanity is determined to explore every one. We send probes, probes with the blueprints to reproduce human explorers upon arrival. Uninhabited worlds the galaxy over can be colonized and populated, until after many years they too can join the vast throng of interstellar civilization. But if a probe is very, very lucky, it will land on a populated world instead. Equestria is one such world.
Even so, it's far from perfect for colonization, not with an environment lethal to human life. But each probe is resourceful and armed with the greatest machine intelligence mankind has devised. If placing a human mind into a newly manufactured human body won't work, it will just have to get a little more creative.

Sunset Shimmer travels to Earth in search of allies for Equestria. The world she finds there is hardly the one she expected.
For nearly a thousand years the ancient prophecies of Clover the Clever sat unread in Canterlot's forbidden archives. Until the day that Celestia took on an apprentice, and everything changed.
Sunset Shimmer is smart, resourceful, and determined. No matter how many new lessons Sunset learns, she just isn't satisfied. Equestria is in danger, and Celestia refuses to give her the power it would take to help defend the kingdom.
Another pony might've given up and trusted her princess to handle things. Sunset Shimmer isn't like most ponies. If Celestia won't deal with looming threats, Sunset will take matters into her own hooves. She'll find allies for Equestria even if she has to leave the universe to do it.
