For years now a creature wanders the world of Albion, with questions in his head and sand in his boots. The questions are rather simple: Where do I come from and where will I go? But how do they say? Sometimes, the journey is the reward.
Indirect sequel to : The Precious Life - Nightmare. You don't have to read the prequel to understand anything that is happening in this story.
Albion, a planet we only could describe as a mystery. Inhabited by gryphons, minotaurs, jackals, diamond dogs, horses, zebras and ponies. As is if this wasn’t enough, they are all intelligent; each race with their own culture and history, making Albion a world full of myths, magic and mysteries.
Between these races are walking creatures that don’t seem to belong there. They move in the shadows, often feared by the people. Yet one of those shadows is searching for answers. Why is he here? How does the world work the way it does. And most importantly: How does he get home?
This is what forces the shadow to step into the light and face the questions haunting his soul. But one thing is for sure: the answers he seeks to find will not always be pleasing.
Info: This is not a self-insert. The protagonist is neither the chosen one, nor is he the lost element or some other lost power which would attract six certain ponies to like him for no reason. Actually, he is quite the opposite. He doesn’t want to be a hero, has his own head and in the course of this LONG story, he will have to deal with things he did NOT sign up for.
"Equinophobia is a psychological fear of horses" Sometimes you're lucky, and sometimes you're unlucky. Ryan finds herself the latter as she ends up in a world of sunshine, rainbows, and pure horror.
A story of an out-of-place person learning to adapt to their new environment.
Alternate Universe tag for lack of or changes in Equestria Girls elements and the Crystal Empire's history.
Written as the A-side to A Chromatic Scale. The stories are not related otherwise and can be read separately.
For thousands of years ponies have prospered in Equestria living in peace. For thousands of years humans have prospered in secret living in fear. To ponies the humans are less than a myth. To humans, ponys are death. Once again they shall meet.
It has been said that nothing lived on the land of Equestria before the three pony tribes became one and settled there. It has also been said that ponies cultivated and created Equestria with their own hooves.
This is wrong.
Thousands of years after the cultivation of Equestria, Zachery a human soldier whose sole task is to protect the human race is allowed to take a leave of absence. It has been thousands of years since the last pony sighting and being in constant state of wartime is deemed too stressful for both the militants and civilians involved. While this is happening, Twilight Sparkle an alicorn princess of Equestria unearths information on a lost race that lived in Equestia thousands of years ago. Unknowingly to the both her and Zachery, she slowly sets into motion the events that will cause the two species that had violently divided to once again meet. For better or for worse.
Sunset, Jaune, Pyrrha and Ruby are Team SAPR, and together they fight to defeat the malice of Salem, uncover the truth about Ruby's past and fill the emptiness within their souls.
Sunset Shimmer fled from Equestria in search of the destiny that Celestia sought to deny to her. She dreamed of finding great glory and power in a strange new world. But she emerged on the other side of the mirror in a harsh cruel world beset by demons and troubled by division, conflict and racial animus: the world of Remnant.
Now, years later, Sunset has completed her studies at Canterlot Combat School and is ready to attend Beacon Academy. She hopes that in the more progressive Kingdom of Vale her appearance as a pony faunus will not be held against her the way it was in Atlas, and she can rise as high as her talents permit and seize with both hands the destiny she still yearns for.
Sunset finds herself assigned to lead three fellow freshman at the Huntsman Academy: Jaune Arc, who dreams of becoming a hero elevated above all others; Pyrrha Nikos, a peerless warrior who has everything that Sunset wants and hates everything about it; and Ruby Rose, a simpler and more honest soul who simply wants to save as many people as she can, and who might just light the way to their salvation.
Together they are Team SAPR, and together they are plunged into a world of mysteries, magic, allies and enemies, robot girls and Atlasian black ops experiments. It won't be easy, but if they can work together, teach Jaune how to fight and maybe learn to get along as friends along the way, then they might just save the world.
Four legs and magic. What kind of mess have I gotten myself into? I only wanted a full length mirror for home, and now I'm in a strange world with no friends or family. Who's this dark horse in my reflections and why is it blocking my trip home?
(As of 4/3/2016, this story has been Good HiE List Approved!) A garage sale mirror was purchased, cleaned and polished, yet some dark shape seemed to block the light. Jess tried to clean it off, only to find her hand going through the mirror itself! This dark form became more solid on the other side, and actively blocked her path home. Now she'll need to figure out more than just how to walk on four legs as a pony, she'll need to learn how to use magic and find out what is preventing her from leaving. What will she do once she finds out why the 'shadow' blocks her path, and what can she do to return home? (This story takes place in tandem with "Trapped in the Mirror of Worlds" by my good friend, Silver_Wing. Our characters intersect at many points, and you will enjoy the nuances of each character's perspective of events).
Note1: This story has divergence from the partnered story due to differences with the other side, including on direction of certain events. It may have similarities if continued, but is no longer collaborated.
Note2: this story has a sequel the author has moved forward to Soldier and Hope for the forseeable future. Bear in mind this will contain spoilers for this story and potentially for Trapped in MoW if the commonalities remain.
How often are you told that you do wrong, when you thought you were doing right? How about meeting people that you relate to a lot more than you originally thought you would? In a way, this has become my life, and wether we like it or not, the three
How often are you told that you do wrong, when you thought you were doing right? How about meeting people that you relate to a lot more than you originally thought you would? In a way, this has become my life, and whether we like it or not, the three of us are going to have to deal with it.
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.
Fredrick falls into Equestria and he is allowed to stay in the castle for his troubles. There, he meets and quickly befriends Princess Luna, and their quickly evolving relationship allows them to explore the 'benefits' of being close, best friends.
By the mysterious workings of the universe and a spell gone wrong, Fredrick lands in the throne room... hard enough to knock him out. After a week in the castle medical wing to treat his wounds, he learns he will have to get used to these anthropomorphic ponies as well as cope with the fact that he will never be able to return to Earth. Being able to stay in the castle indefinitely for his troubles, Fred is able to finally, formally meet Princess Luna in a very personable setting. The two, more alike than they ever anticipated, quickly befriend each other and cherish each other's company.
Of course, as Luna's only (and naturally, best) male friend, and as Fred's best female friend, the two fall into a realm of new possibilities as they become closer with the passage of time... many benefits of knowing each other so well and being unmistakably attracted to each other, as well as the potential awkwardness and fallout of their choices given natural and political barriers in place.
Observe this tale of evolution of friendship directly and through flashbacks, piecing together an entire story of just what it means to grow to love your best friend... along with some other bullshit that doesn't actually happen to anyone.

NOTE: This was written many many years ago as I was still growing into my writing style. Due to it's age, it should not be taken as the cream of my writing ability.
Based in MadMaxtheBlack's Your Human and You setting, a human brought to Equestria spends 5 years as a pit fighter before being 'rescued' by Cadence, begins some time before the events of Season 1.
Follows a former professor who was brought to Equestria and spent 5 years as a pit fighter before being 'rescued' by Cadence during a raid by the Royal Guard. Begins some time before the events of Season 1. Unlike the native humans, this human can vocalize, but quickly realizes that revealing this will get him 'fixed' or experimented on. He also doesn't trust ponies, he's seen the dark underbelly of pit fighting too long. He stays with Cadence while planning his escape to a place where ponies won't pursue him.
Ordinary guy finds himself catapulted into a strange land. Finds something he didn't expect.
A world of talking ponies? Sounds pretty strange. But if you ever find yourself there... Well, you might find something you've been looking for your whole life.
What is it like to be a Gary-Stu? And what happens if you were one for years, only to change into a normal pony? How would those who once mindlessly "loved" you react?
oOo
Help me, please.
I was once human. Now, somehow, someway, I'm a fucking black and red Alicorn in Ponyville. I know I'm panicky, an admitted asshole, and mildly anti-social but… this is wrong.
It started with parties and offers to be in my 'herd'... but every week I have to deal with horrible monsters that only I can defeat and if I'm not careful, I'll be molested or even raped.
Ponies are mindlessly and almost slavishly in love with me despite how I treat them, despite the devastation my presence seems to bring.
Someone, anyone, please help me. My life is a living hell.
I’m a Gary-Stu.
oOo
If you downvote, please do tell me why! I can't fix problems I don't know about!

With a TVTropes page! Something that eternally makes me squee!
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.
Yet another in the increasing Lyra-meets-with-a-human subgenre
Lyra teleports a human to Equestria to learn more about their culture. Some SF concepts in the first two chapters, but probably going to delve into slice-of-life and some platonic romance.
My first foray into fiction after a ton of essay writing. C&C welcome!
Please also check out Nethelli's Far From Home, which has a similar premise and came first.
After an amazing concert, musician David Gatzby winds up a top a tree in a very unfamiliar setting.
Who doesn't love music?
When David Gatzby Finds himself on the tree home of a mysterious creature, he is slightly terrified. But when he hears the sound of melodious singing coming from inside, he can't help but play along with his guitar and hum to the tune. Not realising that the singing had stopped, David continues to play and can't avoid the meeting of his life.

Especially when you're sisters are Cloudchaser and Flitter.
Have you ever had a building collapse on top of you? It hurts a lot. Now imagine it's on fire.
I woke up to a burning building coming down on top of me.
Oh yeah, that isn't even the half of it. There's these freaky Technicolor horses everywhere too and a few of them were dressed in golden armour.
They bound me, dragged me to the castle and hooked me up to some chains. Currently I'm being interrogated by a white unicorn... guard. Whatever it's called.
Well, it's not like it could get much worse, right?

Found some cover art.
Sorry to whomever made this, but the source website was taken down or something, so I'm really not sure who to credit.
Finally found the name of the artist: Blaz Portenta
I got featured a couple times. Yeah, I'm surprised too.
A Special Operative gets stranded in a strange unfamiliar world and must learn how to cope.
James Kaughn is a member of the world's most elite fighting force, but when his team is sent in to rescue a captive family in Afghanistan the mission hits a snag. He stays behind to allow the others to escape, fully expecting to die, but ends up in an unfamiliar place. Join him as he meets new challenges and struggles with his worsening PTSD. Will he be able to actually make friends and not just teammates?
All I want is a place where I fit in. Where people are happy to see me and I'll always have a part to play. Is that so much to ask? HiE, Ponified, powerless alicorn
You can hide away your problems. You can mask all of the pain with lies. You could live an eternity and pray that the scars simply fade away. Despite all of your best efforts though...not even all the power in creation can truly ever fill a void.
Peace.
A concept that many beings strive tirelessly for throughout their entire existence, yet also might never have the privilege to see.
A concept that the whole of Equestria might finally be able to enjoy for a good long while. Nightmare Moon has been defeated and Princess Luna restored, the changeling invasion was repelled, King Sombra was banished eternally and the Crystal Empire returned to its former glory, and even Discord himself was eventually reformed towards a better state. Indeed, it could be said that the ponies of Equestria might finally be able to relax and recuperate from many an averted crisis.
But peace is a fragile thing...is it not?
Since her recovery, Princess Luna has been pushing herself ever harder towards finally gaining her subject's acceptance that she longs for so much. However, as the months drag on, the stress has slowly begun threatening to bring her towards the breaking point. Whilst seeking out what she believes might finally show the ponies that she only means well, the Princess of the Night happens to stumble upon something not ever once seen upon the face of the planet. A piece of ancient knowledge, all but completely lost to the passage of time.
However, even the greatest of knowledge...has the potential for unmatched destruction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
I won't ask that you take it easy on me, only that you try to keep any criticism on the constructive level (unless I do something blatantly stupid and abhorrent...). In turn, I will do my absolute best to take all of your suggestions to mind, and attempt improve the story in any fields necessary. All in all...it won't be perfect, but it is my greatest hope that it will in some way pique your interests.
