A massive contraption obscures the Equestrian sky. "USS Vector" is engraved on its sides.
"A massive, artificial behemoth made of metal tore through our skies. It loomed over our world, blotting out Celestia's sun and shrouding Luna's moon, leaving those below in the shadows. It sowed chaos and conflict on our nation, something that had not happened in more than a millennium."
"It sits high above us, watching and waiting. What is this monster, and what is to be the fate of Equestria?"
Jacob was just an ordinary student the year the whole world changed. It started with the powers, powers that seemed to be spreading. Can he get to the bottom of this mystery and take back his life before there's nothing left to save?
A few months have gone by since the last season of MLP, and it seemed as though the fandom would slip quietly into obscurity. But strange things are happening, things nobody can explain. People who have never seen the show report sightings of strange monsters wandering at night. Bronies develop strange powers, and sometimes they disappear. Strangest of all are the blurry images of familiar characters, all seeming convinced of terrible danger just around the corner.
Jacob never imagined his life would be anything but ordinary. He’d finish his degree, make a living, maybe have a few kids. Until he almost got eaten on his way home from school and found himself thrust headlong into danger he could barely understand. Jacob (and his humanity) may not survive it.
From one barren wasteland to another, less barren wasteland, an Australian IT worker finds himself stuck in the snow where nowhere to go. At least it can't get any worse... right?
From one barren wasteland to another, less barren wasteland, an Australian Information Technology worker finds himself stuck in the snow with nowhere to go. Armed with nothing but a cheap tool set and a three metre Ethernet cable, he must find a way to survive his new location. At least it can't get any worse... right?
Oh of course it can, it's a HIE.
Warning: Contains Australian, Changelings (of course), snow, occasional IT speak, less-than-stellar HIE satire, and shoddy humour not fit for a backyard comedy club.
A human finds himself in Equestria... He decides to forsake Ponyville and see the world instead.
I always wanted to go to Equestria. When I got the chance, I took the deal without reading the fine print. To my surprise, I didn't arrive there as a pony, or even as a human. It seems I get to view this world from a different perspective than what I've imagined.
My name is Echo. I am a Diamond Dog.

Rated T for suggestive theme.
(EDITING DONE BY NIGHTMAREKNIGHT, KILDEEZ AND MLPFAN12!!)
The arrival of a strange creature sends ripples through the lives of several inhabitants within Equestria.
A changeling who finds responsibility thrust upon her after the failed Canterlot invasion.
A unicorn who finds herself part of first contact with a strange new creature.
A princess who finds hints of one she long since lost in another's mind.
With the arrival of a strange bipedal creature into Equestria, all three will find themselves intertwined with the fate of the girl. When language cannot be understood how will communication with the new arrival be achieved, and what secrets may the creature be bringing with her? What does the girl possess that may alter how the changeling in particular sees the world.
What could the girl possibly have that would allow one word – hope – to resonate so strongly, not only for herself but also the changeling.
This is a retelling of A Voice Among the Strangers from three viewpoints in particular. You don't have to read AVAtS to read this one, as I will be attempting to make each a full story on their own.
Also, this seems to share a Tv Tropes page with A Voice Among the Strangers!
Twilight finds herself wanting to know more about Celestia and Luna. So she ends up time travelling!
Princess Twilight, for all of her knowledge, didn't particularly know that much about Celestia or Luna's past. In an attempt to figure out more about her peers she digs up the infamous time travel spell. Jumping at the chance to gather first-hoof about the only other immortal ponies she dives head first into the past!
Finding that she has stumbled into helping the Princesses on a mighty quest she isn't hesitant to lend a helping hoof but her resolve is quickly tested when not all is what it seems and the past, and present, of Equestria is put at stake!
Follow Twilight, and the would-be Princesses, across the world as they track down dangerous artefacts, delve into dilapidated dungeons and avoid disaster in a race against time itself!
Romance will, eventually, be between Luna, Celestia and Twilight.
This story will include gratuitous amounts of cuteness at times.
There will be action and a little dark here and there, but only because it's the past and fighting does occur. It won't be a regular thing, trust me.
There is time travel and Twilight will be jumping around the timeline. But don't think about it too much!
The AU tag is only there due to the Princesses still being there, as well as the whole world existing before Equestria thing.
The world this story takes place in is: Equestria and Beyond. I absolutely love the detail which was put into this. Obviously there's parts not included, such as the Crystal Empire, etc.
I'm thankful to Dusk Melody for reading through and helping me realise the direction I wanted the story to go in.

In the end, Twilight will have a fun time finding out ...

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.

Several ordinary bros find themselves in extraordinary situations.
You are Anonymous, a twenty something year old who one day awoke to find himself in a world filled with colorful talking ponies (and some other humans too) for some reason.

Now, you and your friends take on anything that Equestria can throw at you, with the help of a few friends, hot mares and loads of booze.
