“Do Humans Hibernate?” Rainbow has a question on her mind. She's not entirely sure why it's bothering her so much. It probably doesn't help that the only human she could ask is the world's greatest liar. [COMPLETE STORY]

Marshal: (mɑː.ʃəl) noun….etymology - archaic: Middle English, from Anglo-French ‘mareschal’, of Germanic origin; akin to Old High German ‘marahscalc’, from ‘marah’ (horse) + ‘scalc’ (servant). Originally referring to "a person in charge of the upkeep of horses or stable hand”. The station became a position of trust and power in medieval courts and went on to acquire its modern military usage.
Ponyville hosts some new guests, only they aren't ponies. They also really don't want to be seen, for some reason. What's a Princess to do when aliens are sneaking around?
Princess Twilight has seen some strange things in the past few years. She made the best friends a mare could have, she had some amazing adventures, became an alicorn princess, saved the world a few times, and got a palace to call her very own. Yet for all that, the strangest has yet to come.
There are new strangers in Ponyville. That's not too odd, but they're not ponies. They're human! But they're not like any human Twilight saw on the other side of the Mirror. Their magic isn't like anything she's ever seen, either. She'd love to learn more, but there's a problem. These humans could give Fluttershy lessons in keeping out of sight.
Dealing with snooping aliens was not exactly what Twilight had planned to put on top of her royal agenda.
I started writing this back before Season Five. It's not a new idea, not hardly, but no matter how many first contact stories I sifted through, always it was from the alien perspective. The pony perspective would come to the fore only rarely, and usually only with sizable external influences.
This story takes the idea of an alien observation team but is entirely from the locals' standpoint. What do you do when there's an alien science outpost next door?
A student computer researcher discovers Equestria Online, and she can't understand why nobody else is worried about it. Without any help, Ashley decides she will do the impossible on her own. Somehow, she will save the world.
Ashley is an unimportant research assistant in an American machine learning lab. The release of Equestria online provokes more than a little interest in her lab, and she is selected to investigate it. What she discovers horrifies her, but for some reason she can't get anyone to take her seriously.
This does not dissuade her. Ashley might not know much, but she isn't going to sit idly by and watch her world end. No... if nobody else is going to step in, she will. It doesn't matter that nobody believes CelestAI is dangerous. It doesn't matter that it's a game about a children's show.
Ashley is going to save the world. Or try, anyway. The odds aren't great.

In his short time in this alien land, Anon has learned three things: 1) Magic horses are bad at learning English. 2) They love triangles. 3) Social position is likely determined by booty size, if the big white one is anything to go by.

Amidst the roiling terrors of the night - one horror stands alone. The mind of a pony can scarcely fathom the true vengeance that the Princess of the Night could have visited upon the world as Nightmare Moon. Twilight will now endure that experience.
Nightmare Moon was defeated so easily... her rage merely in its infancy.
But what if she had not been confronted in time? What if she had planned her return differently?
What terrors would she have wrought upon the world of ponies, exacting her revenge for a millennium of agony and solitude?
Twilight will now experience that full fury of a vicious conquerer, at the head of a bloody march into Canterlot. The horrible crimes of war will tear into the once innocent and happy pony's life - exposing her mind and heart to the grim reality of the world.
And it will only be the beginning.
The suffering of the Night Tyrant must be repaid in kind, with a debt that has accrued over a thousand years of poignant, painful interest... and if the people and nation of Equestria cannot bear that terrible burden... it will fall upon the young unicorn Twilight to do so.
MEGA WARNING: This is a grimdark fic. It will contain death, murder, torture, non-consensual sex, and brutal punishment. Do not bother if this is not your cup of tea.

All ponies in my writing live on a version of Equestria that is at the deepest part of a gravity well pit, making any pony over 100,000 years old in earth years.
Since Anonymous has arrived in Equestria, he’s made little effort in forming friendships in the land most representative of it. Through his abrasiveness and social isolation, he has actively avoided public gatherings, parties, and even simple conversations. Thus, Celestia decides to take on the teaching role once more and show Anonymous how magical friendship can be.
Sandbar gets an unexpected show and finds that it's not entirely unwelcome, to his surprise.
Sandbar and Gallus have recently become roommates, after becoming good friends. When Sandbar wakes in the middle of one night, he gets an unexpected surprise that he tries desperately (and unsuccessfully) to ignore.
He then has to figure out how exactly to make sense of his reaction to the experience.
The students at Twilight's school are all 18+ (or the pony/griffon/changeling/etc. equivalent thereto) adult creatures. (Come on, this place is like a college, right? They're clearly not little foals...) To the extent canon may later suggest these students are not adult, they have been aged up for portrayal in this story.
Contains voyeurism, masturbation, and lots of gay sex.
After another successful show, Trixie makes her way to her apartment during an unscheduled storm in Manehattan. It was during this freak storm that a lighted theater appears with the name of "Houdini" on the sides of the theater.
"Magic is the sole science not accepted by scientists because they can't understand it." -Ehrich Weiss (aka, Harry Houdini).
One night in the city of Manehattan, the magician known as "The Great and Powerful Trixie" has moved on with her new life in her newly successful magic show. It was during this night that a certain Spirit of Chaos was spotted by the Stage Director, but he left mysteriously as he'd appeared.
After the show has been set up for the next night, Trixie walks to her apartment during an unscheduled storm which, passing an empty lot in the city's neighborhoods, lightning struck that spot where a new theater appeared. Holding posters and a sign in lights with a very odd name.
"The Great Harry Houdini: Master of Mystery."

Nathan has given himself a mission: to record the end of humanity.

HOLY SMOKES, I GOT FEATURED! (4/30/20) Thanks, everybody! (And again on 5/4/20!) (Again on 5/14/20)
Legends speak of a being beyond the strength any mortal can possess, the one who created the cosmos itself. These tales are no mere legend though, the creator now walking amongst them...but not how many of them would have thought he would.
"In the beginning, there was nothing but all encompassing darkness that claimed all of existence within the void. Yet even in this darkness, there was light. A single speck of light that defied the shadows and slowly grew to encompass the known universe, bringing light to a once dark and dreary realm. The being had wrested control from the void, yet it was not content. With its power, it created the stars and planets that dot the seemingly infinite expanse of the universe. This, was how the universe had truly come to be." Creation of the universe according to the Church of Primis Long ago, before the times of the princess's, the world stood divided. The father of the universe saw the hatred between the races of the planet, and sought to rectify his mistake of abandoning his creation, choosing to live amongst them once more. This is where our story begins.

Trixie is STILL a lonely mare. Sure, she was redeemed, made friends, saved Equestria - but the public is slow to forgive and finding a coltfriend has eluded her. However, while touring in Manehattan, she meets a cute reporter and that all changes!
Trixie Lulamoon is still a lonely mare.
Sure, she learned the error of her ways, made a close new friend in Ponyville... became an integral part of that community... even ended up having her time in the spotlight when she helped to save the whole nation from Chrysalis's return!
But the ponies of Equestria are slow to forgive, and the life of a showmare on the road is a lonely one. She's watched her friends find love and start families of their own, all while she consoles herself with a glass of cheap wine before slinking into her hammock in her cold, lonely wagon.
It's even worse when she's on tour. Especially worse when she's in Manehattan. The city is tough, and even tougher to former villains. She wasn't looking for love while performing there, just looking to close out her summer tour and get out, keeping her head down in the process.
But love would find her.
A handsome, hard-working reporter, Bawdy Jot, has been assigned to do a story on the blue, boisterous showmare... and he's been surprised by the depth of Trixie's character that was revealed to him as he did his background work. And when he actually meets her, despite a rough greeting, he discovers that they get along quite well!
But love never makes things easy. It isn't long before he's stuck between a rock and a hard place - his editor has instructed him to make his story as negative and accusatory as possible...
How will he manage to do such a journalistically unethical act... against a mare he's falling for?
Will this show fail before it's even started? Or will Trixie and Jot overcome their star-crossed start?
There is a version of the story with only SFW content HERE
