Well, I did not expect this many readers to enjoy this story. Though I'm really happy to have you all enjoying my writing here. But I had better give credit where credit is due... Kitsy-Chan (Who doesn't write clop) For helping with character development. Phenrys and Alkarasu for pre-reading for me, and giving suggestions. And also Harts-Fire, for coming up with the wonderful title when I was stuck, as well as encouragement during the early writing process. Now I've got a new editor for the story, Kalash!!!
UPDATE: 10/11/16 Holy CRAPOLA!!! Feature box!!! I'm just over the moon. Thank you all of you who are enjoying the beginning of this story. Hope you keep around as I bring out more.
This is a story about a human who is hailed as the Monkey King by the Zebras and has somehow, SOMEHOW accomplished in recreating the Persian Empire, with nothing but his wits, unpredicatlbe antics and stupid luck.
(Sex tag just for references, suggestions and dialog. Gore for the later parts of this fic)
(Cover art by me and still under construction)
Well this is something. Greetings fellow peoples or whoever else finds and reads this story. Let me introduce myself, I am simply know as THE MONKEY KING. The king of what you may ask? Well, the king of the Zebras to be precise, or even better, the King of the Achaemidien EMPIRE.
How you may ask? Well to be honest, I have no bloody idea myself. One moment I was simply making myself some coffee just like every morning, and then the next thing I know I get zapped away from my home, reappear out of nowhere in the middle of Desert with both my Coffee and pajamas still on me, followed up by some weird Voodoo prophecy made by the Zebra Shamans about the arrival of an ancient Monkey King who is going to re-unite all the fractured Zebra tribes to once again reform the Zebra Kingdom of old.
That was a mouthful.
That's not all, I went even further then that and somehow, SOMEHOW, managed to take this kingdom and shape it into THIS worlds version of the Persian Empire, thanks to my genius, silly antics, and stupid luck.
Oh and Celly face and Lulu face now see me and my new empire as threat to Equestria itself . Accusing me of "expanding my empire too rapidly" Ooooooooh
All of it accomplished with just one good mug filled with coffee...I mean the mug itself by the way, not the coffee.
This job requires more coffee than it's been medically proven to be unhealthy.

Notes and Resources:
This takes place after Echoes. The events of Corruption will have not happened yet. In terms of MLP, consider everything up to and including the Crystal Empire. Princess Twilight does not exist here, etc. The official Metroid Timeline can be found here.
As well, this story references the manga in many places. Reading of it is not required and I try my best to explain the context, but if you're interested, both volumes can be found here.
EDIT: This story was written over two and a half years, beginning in 2013. You'll probably notice the difference in writing as the chapters progress.
A solitary man trapped in a strange place for reasons he does not yet understand.
Ripped from home with no explanation to a place that is both incredibly strange and eerily familiar. What world he walks on, what these creatures are, why he's here. There are many things Rajrishi does not understand about Equestria. He hopes to fix that.
A normal human gets transported to Equestria. Lyra sees this, and goes out to confront the alien. It is her job, after all.
Lyra, a simple pony with simple dreams. Dreams involving aliens, that is. Her fascination with them even got her a job dealing with them, though no one takes it seriously. Lyra hopes to one day be able to meet one, she just needs to believe.
In comes a human, whom mysteriously gets transported to Equestria. It's up to Lyra to show the alien the ways of her people! The power of friendship, magic, and hugs await her on this strange adventure.
Fredrick and Stella decide to take their immeasurably strong friendship to the next level. Ultimately, they feel it would be little different than now... just more intimate. Are things really that simple?
Two weeks after Fredrick Himmelreich's arrival, he meets and befriends a Lunar Guard named Stella Sabre... a beautiful, cute-accented, and foul-mouthed batpony mare. Simply asking for directions is the start of a powerful, yet equally unlikely friendship between a sarcastic, stubborn, yet level-headed human, and a headstrong, fragile-tempered thestral guardsmare.
Such a friendship will prove bloated when both parties, as dense in their own rights as they are, wish to ford the next step in their relationship. It's a simple combination of experimentation, adventurousness, and ultimately trust and faith in one another...
...but are things truly that easy and straight-forward?

A HiE fic filled with light comedy and a bit of adventure. Enjoy.
'What is it about humans that urges them seek out so many endeavors in order to feed their desires? Greed, power, family, friends, philosophy, knowledge; infinite goals and infinite reasons behind them. Whoever or whatever created these beings are either cunning; to create self motivating creatures that will constantly push the limits of what's possible, or downright cruel; never truly allowing them to feel true fulfillment or satisfaction. The point is humans were created with a void, a missing piece left intentionally empty never to be filled, an undying hunger.'
A bit grim right? The names Rodney, and in case you're wondering, this is the story of my life. A life of Magic, Gods, and regrettably, Ponies. Yeah, freakin-multi-techno-collored-goody-ponies. But it's not all bad really, got way healthier with a more green diet. Though the lack of meat can be painful at times, that one landed me in less than desired situations. I get to screw with innocent ponies on a regular basis. Didn't kill myself or everyone else with me either. So not a bad deal really, even ended up retiring as teacher.

"Ahem." I had no clue what to say. This was the story of my life I had to introduce, and no one told me how it ends. "Well, I guess since we're all here we might as well enjoy this. It's a bit of a rocky start, I think, but there's a good bit right at the—

Woke up in a cage in the middle of nowhere. Learned how to fly and now in prison for assaulting the local Princess. What could possibly go wrong?
I woke up in a cage in the middle of nowhere, was saved and now in a prison called a "Foster Home." I accidentally crashed into the local princesses room after breaking the sound barrier, (Not sure how), after being chased across the country by the local military. One of them I kicked on the way out. I think her name was... Spitfire. Oh, well... No, wait. She's in charge of my prison! Nooooooo!

Suddenly, I'm Twilight Sparkle and I don't want to be here.
I used to be a human, but then I pissed off a wizard. Now I'm stuck in "Ponyville", in a land called "Equestria", and with no apparent way back home. I'm also pretty sure that I've just replaced somepony. I'd rather not have to answer any tricky questions, so I'm better off trying to be this unicorn whose name has been forced onto me.
My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I'm not a pony.

A rework, from the ground up, of AB: Year One. It will tie in to the remainder of the series, though minor points might not line up perfectly; it isn't married to any particular incident. If you read that series and the later installments you know where the story will end up, but the route to get there will be decidedly less smooth. If you read the previous version, let me know what you think about the changes; comments and suggestions are always welcome!
“Bring every last one of them to our doorstep, then drag them to hell with us!” That was the plan. We know nothing of peace. Equestria knows nothing of war. With the monsters we brought to their kingdom, we must now both adapt or become extinct.
Every Taraskan soldier has the same secret dream: to die and never wake up to the hell that is war. Raiden’s country is not an elite fighting force. As broken as they are, they limp along and salvage what they can. Their best advancements are what they learn from the few allies they can get. As the world around them is engulfed by a darkness known as the Og Nag, Taraska is one of the last cities and therefore must do the unthinkable: be bait. Raiden is the King’s right hand in the worst way possible; having his intellect and natural fighting skill be used to destroy both their enemies and himself. When it seems Raiden’s wish has finally come true, they wake up to a new kind of hell: watching the same destruction all over again in a country that has never even imagined the agony Taraska was born into. With a new chance at destruction, comes a new chance for change however. There is a time to fight and a time to talk. Will Raiden finally get his people to break free from King Hurrand’s plagueful greed, or will they be just another story told to children? The Og Nag here are also acting strange, as if being directed by an unseen force. There is one last battle Raiden must fight in: breaking away from the endless cycle of abuse. A battle that cannot be fought with a weapon against a creature that never gets tired. It is the one fight Raiden must win before he can save anyone, even himself.

Author's note: "King of the Dead has been a large pot for me to pour stuff into. I wanted readers to empathize with mental health. I wanted them to understand the paranoia and emotional fatigue that I do with my PTSD. I wanted readers to see a character with weaknesses and flaws, who gets tired, who gets emotional, who gets irrational and watch him pay for those flaws. I wanted a female character who doesn't hide her femininity but doesn't upplay it either. I wanted characters who solve a lot of their problems with their minds and strategy, not brute force. I wanted romance that was complicated and tiring. I wanted the woman in Raiden's life to understand why he's so broken, but not tolerate his toxic behavior. I wanted an antagonist who was overwhelmingly powerful, intelligent and extremely manipulative. I wanted characters who had to use good old detective work to fight against magic they had never seen before." Accepted into The Good HiEgroup

Accidents happen even to the best of us, after all, that's why they're called accidents. Yet they can change your life in ways you've never imagined.
Twilight has an idea, she wants to improve the efficacy of Celestia's portal to the other world. Ensuring that it will last regardless of the number of times she uses it.
Yet as the old saying goes: if it's not broke don't fix it. After getting pulled into a whole new world Twilight and Rainbow Dash are in for a surprise when they meet another version of themselves; a version which will open their eyes to new possibilities that go far beyond what friendship is capable of.
A look into changeling and pony culture as changelings attempt to integrate and make peace with Equestria.
"I asked a changeling once why they would think peace with Equestria was possible. Their response was the title to this book. I had asked a question on politics and gotten a calculus equation in response. Changelings are odd like that sometimes. They see things differently than the rest of us. I ended up pondering his response for a long time and even dusted off my old calculus books to look for an answer. One day it just clicked in my head what he was trying to say.
Changelings are capable of change.
It was a somewhat redundant answer, and it was a really bizarre way to give it, but I understood what he meant. Changelings, just like ponies, are capable of both good and bad, We could make peace with them, and help them learn to better themselves. That was what the changelings wanted, and ponies everywhere were fighting it. It is for that reason I began creating this book. Within this tome you will find a collection of essays, more like candid stories really, directly from Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, and Prince Morpheus, leader of the Changeling Hive. These reports detail their lives from the day negotiations began. That is the day the Prince himself began living in Ponyville, and it comes with the story of how he and the little town came to adapt to each other as negotiations were occurring. It is my hope seeing their story will show anypony reading this there is no reason to distrust the changelings so, and, perhaps, it will give you insight into the strange little changelings as well. They truly want peace, and, despite the treaties being signed, we can only truly give it to them when we let go of our distrust."
