It is Year Five, and Dr. Calloway Kotani is stuck in evacuated Peru. The Barrier moves relentlessly inland at 14 kilometers per day. It never stops. It never slows down. No Potion. No rescue. South America is 4353 kilometers wide. Run, Dr. Kotani. Run for your life.
The ruling class of Earth made a special deal when they allowed the Bureaus. Alone among all earthlings, they remain human, in Equestria.
Petra Alice Bettencourt, a child of the lost Earth's ruling corporate elite, nears her fourteenth birthday. The earth is years gone now, and Petra lives on with the elite in special mansions on the backside of Canterlot Mountain. But Petra, like all the Worldgovernment elite, has had her experience of Equestrian life determined by the agreement that made the Conversion Bureaus possible at all - she is still completely human, in Equestria.
A human soul is stuffed into King Sombra's body. Having no idea what's going on, and thinking he is in some kind of coma, he just casually strolls into the Crystal Empire.
King Sombra’s dark influence was obliterated by the Crystal Heart, and the villain is well and truly dead. But when he attempts to steal the afterlife of an innocent victim, a human spirit is left hurtling towards Equestria, where this unfortunate soul is revived into the only vessel available: the reconstituted body of King Sombra himself.
Thus, a cheerfully oblivious alien is crammed into the form of the most evil and malicious being Equestria has ever known. Not that Shining Armor and Cadence know this, of course. As far as they are concerned, the King is back and he’s lost his fricking mind.
On a casual hiking trip, a young teen finds himself lured into a land far too close to one's most extreme imaginings. It doesn't take too long for him to settle in, but the dangers of the world are never too far behind.
With the strange, albeit adorable, local fauna as his only company, Andrew sets off to explore the landscape.

A last minute assignment takes newfoal reporter Frontpage to the very greatest secret of Equestria... and beyond.
Newfoal reporter 'Frontpage' has always yearned for the ultimate scoop. A last minute assignment for the centennial of Zero Point - the last moment of the doomed earth - leads not only to the biggest story of his career, but the greatest secrets of Equestria... and far, far beyond.
This is a partial sequel to HUMAN In Equestria, but knowledge of that story is not required to enjoy it. This is the final Conversion Bureau novel.
After the Crystal Kingdom was transformed into a desolate wasteland, Atlas and his friends safely arrived in Equestria. They'll have to make a new home for themselves, while Atlas tries to master the magic passed down to him by the gods.
Atlas, Discord and Starswirl have safely arrived in the newly founded Equestria. The ponies that came before them already built up quite a few flourishing cities, setting aside their differences and living together in harmony.
Close to one such newly founded town, Atlas built what he personally insists on calling a "secret lab" where he conducts research and experiments to gain a better understanding of runic magic. Assisted by his adopted son Discord and his scholarly friend Starswirl, they'll have to recreate this lost art if Atlas wants to be prepared for the foretold showdown between the greek gods. All while keeping an eye out for the events that are supposed to bring the true Equestria into existence.
This sequel story will focus mostly on Atlas' research into runes and the timeline that is known to him. Therefore I've decided to replace the adventure tag from the last story with slice of life, although there might still be some adventure-y chapters.

TD from TD the Alicorn Princess pretends to be a Canadian exchange student and infiltrates Canterlot High
It has been two years since the human TD ascended to become Princess Antares, and he is settling into his role as one of the rulers of Equestria quite nicely. His loyal guard is strong, his palace is awe-inspiring, and he is beloved and worshiped by ponies everywhere. However, when the Element of Magic is stolen by an old student of Celestia's and taken through a magic mirror while he is visiting the Crystal Empire with the Mane Six, he discovers that another world has been very close by during his whole reign. A rather familiar world at that. Deciding that he is the best pony for the job, he takes his two best soldiers through the portal with him to get the Element back. So, pretending to be a foreign exchange student from Canada, he infiltrates of all things... a high school.
An accident with the Mirror Portal ends up with Twilight stuck as a small pony in the Equestra Girls' world. Her friends can't get over how cute she is.
Twilight had planned to visit Sunset Shimmer and her friends over in the other world for a nice, quiet weekend, away from all the worries and problems associated with being a Princess of Equestria. Unfortunately, things rarely go as planned.
After an accident cuts her off from Equestria, Twilight finds herself stuck in the human world until the gateway between the two worlds can be fixed. Which wouldn't normally be a problem...
Coop and MEGAS arrive in Poniville. Ponies, giant robots, chaos and explosions ensue.
When two events collide through the fabric of space and time, Coop, a hotshot gamer whose skills with a controller are only match by his hunger, along with his giant robot car named Megas, wind up in a land of colorful talking ponies.
To make matters worse, he's been turned into one of them. He'll have to learn how to handle the wheel with hooves quickly. Because even in Equestria there's plenty of trouble he can get into. Will this snack munching, video gaming, giant robot piloting force of destruction be able to cope?
With Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy charged with watching over him, let's hope Celestia made the right choice.
Who knows? Maybe things'll turn out fine. After all, mares dig giant robots...right?
Luna takes an interest in Ponyville's resident human, further complicating his already tumultuous life.
[ Rated mature for excessive language and humorous sexual dialog and situations. ]
Anon's got pony problems. Fluttershy's been stalking him, Twilight's trying to experiment on him, and he's been fighting sleep ever since he met Luna at a dinner party last week. The reclusive Princess of the Night has taken a somewhat inappropriate interest in him and has been invading his dreams!
Thanks to Luna's dreamwalking shenanigans, Anon now has to contend with doomsday meteors, horrendous creatures, and harrowing trials in addition to the growing herd of overly amorous mares plaguing him in his daily life. The line between dreams and reality begins to blur, leaving Ponyville's poor resident human desperate for a moment of peace and quiet!
This is a completed second person Anon in Equestria story originally written between December 2012 and February 2013 and converted to prose by reader request.

A young human finds himself in Equestria, lost, not in body, but in purpose as he attempts to belong in the alien world. A mare, devoid of a destiny and seeing herself unnecessary in the world, seeks to end it all. Can these two stray souls find meaning together?
A story that was born as a 4chan greetext featuring the OC, Floor Bored. Also know as the NEET(Not in Education, Employment, or Training)pone, Floor is often portrayed as anti-social, be it meek or vulgar, and a bit of a nympho. She's also often featured in watersports clop, but readers need not worry. The story will not be a clopfic despite having sexual themes, and any inclusion of urine is merely a homage to the character's origins.

In the blink of an eye, the whole world collapsed in on me. Well, it didn't necessarily collapse. It's different though. Very different. Frighteningly different. I knew that God had a plan for me, I just didn't think it would involve being a pony.
After a wild night out on the town, Jay decides to go back to Pony-land for a quick visit. Things don't go quite as planned though as he finds himself trapped in a dimension full of colorful ponies and friendship.
He's not very happy about it.
Reading the prequel is not required as this story is loosely related to it. To avoid confusion, this is not a Battlefield crossover. Cover art commissioned from Mix-up! Check him out if you're in need of a cover art!
Living in Equestria proves to be more dangerous for Second Chance than she could've possibly imagined. Now an old enemy has followed her from an Earth destroyed by war. Can she save Equestria from suffering the same fate?
A year has passed since Second Chance arrived in Equestria. She has a loving adoptive family, one of the best teachers of magic in Equestria, and some fantastic new friends. Compared to a world destroyed by war, her new life seems like a paradise.
Unfortunately for her, Equestria isn't as safe as it sometimes looks. It has its own dangers; powerful evils that won't spare her just because she came from Earth. Between human dangers and natural ones, Equestria's ponies may not survive.

While studying an alien spellform, Twilight makes the most important discovery of all time... The one which could doom her planet. | Horror Rationalfic with Lovecraftian & World of Darkness elements. Deconstruction / Subversion of Displaced.
[Rationalfic Deconstruction / Subversion of Displaced] You’ve read the stories of people from Earth being “Displaced”: Their bodies are changed, their minds are warped, and they’re thrown across the multiverse, to whatever world and timeline their supernal "Displacers" decide upon. Well, this story isn’t one of them...
...because when they tried to remake me, I didn’t let them.
A Rationalist Horror story, in which an Occultist from some version of Earth (implied to be the World of Darkness) undermines her own Displacement and ends up as a Self-Modifying Construct. Scientific Inquiry, Philosophical Debate, Rational Discussion, Body Horror, and Existential Hijinks ensue. Themes, Concepts, and Style inspired by HP Lovecraft, Elizer Yudkowsky, Gordon R Dickson, Edgar Allen Poe, Modern Prometheus (Frankenstein), Dresden Codak, World of Darkness, and Friendship is Optimal. Front page on JUL 28th, AUG 12th, OCT 30, and every update after that.
Your story breaks the shitty norm that most displaced stories have in common by being an 'actually interesting story' instead of a powertrip for a horny teen.
This is like brain porn. My head hurts but in a good way.
Author’s Notes
I often find Displaced fics to be more often Miss than Hit with me. Often, they're generic, poorly written, or just do not do anything worth reading with the concept. This is an experiment to trt out a few other concepts which aren’t used often, even by me, including some which directly subvert Displaced as a genre, and maybe even come up with some advice for those authors. This is also a crossover with the upcoming Dragon: The Oroboroi Chronicles, a World of Darkness rulebook which I lead the development team for.
I hope you all enjoy this, and I implore you to leave some feedback in the comments section: I'll experimenting with a few uncommon concepts here, and I'd like to know how people feel about how they're coming across. :3
FAQ
Because people keep bringing these things up...
Horror/Dark Tags
I've had multiple people ask "how bad does it get?" Note the lack of the "gore", "sad", or "mature" tags or anything like that. Yes, there is blood and death at some point in this story, but the real horror of this story comes from the philosophical and scientific quandaries the characters go through: this is "intellectual horror", not "visceral horror".
Length
In the interest of this NOT becoming one of those long, sprawling fics, I plan to keep this limited to a manageable 10 chapter limit, not counting Prologue and Epilogue. No one wants to read something that long, and I'd rather not be stressing over this 6 months from now.
Sequel
The Sequel is already in the works, with scenes already written. It will be a more episodic story revolving around world optimization and interplanar hijinks.
Crossovers
To be clear, I do plan on having the main character make one of those "Token" things, but as they often get in the way of actual stories, that won't happen until the end of the story. The Sequel will be crossover-heavy.
Moving is hard, especially when it's to another country, and it becomes doubly difficult when you move there unexpectedly and against your will.
Nobody really likes to move, you leave friends and loved ones behind, familiar surroundings and move to someplace that is different from what you are used to. You have to learn the ropes all over again, make new friends and find your way around, not an easy or fun thing to do.
But what makes a move like that worse, is when it happens and you sleep through the whole thing, doubly so when you didn't plan said move.
Have you ever gotten so drunk you forgot you offered the princesses' hoof in marriage to whoever brought your sister back? And how many 'es' there are in 'Princess'?
After Luna had been banished to the moon, Celestia got drunk, real drunk. Drunk enough to make up several laws she completely forgot about for a thousand years. What happens when Luna discovers one of these laws, and what's worse, she actually likes the sound of it.
Complete chaos as the mane six now find themselves unintentionally being wed to two Princesses.
Very much inspired by the old: Six Brides for Two Sisters story by Equus Palladus.
A newly hatched changeling feels like the world around is more strange than it should be but can't understand why.
After losing her hive, Queen Chrysalis is forced to start another one. Luckily she has the help of a few loyal subjects who never accepted their fellow changelings new way of life. They must stay hidden from enemies, collect enough food to survive and rebuild their strength. Now the first brood has hatched and there is something very different about one of the larva.
The lives and antics of the six students of friendship
A pony, a Dragon, a Changeling, a Griffon, a Yak and a Hippogriff. In times gone by, it would have been unthinkable for such a collection to be considered close. But now, thanks to the opening of Princess Twilight’s School of Friendship, these six children have come to know one another, and see each other as friends. These are the stories of their time together.
An urban explorer must solve the mystery of what happened to Canterlot.
Jacob Doakes has an unusual hobby- he loves to explore abandoned places. Crumbling halls, collapsed staircases, long-empty rooms... every one tells him a story. But on one moonlit night, a trip down the wrong corridor sends him tumbling- not to his death, but into an entirely new world. Now, to return home, Jacob must unearth the story and alter the mysterious fate of the grandest abandoned place he's ever explored:
Canterlot.
