This story is a sequel to What I've Become

It is highly recommended that you read What I've Become before you read this story, since this is the second story in The Humanity Within Trilogy, and you will be lost if you just plunge into this without any preparation.

Also, this story already has a sequel: What I Am!

Things have been turning up roses for me lately. I'm no longer fighting to survive, I have people that I can turn to, and I have my face back, all because of the kindness shown to me by strangers.
But will they continue to help me once they find out what dark secrets haunt my past? Will they shun me for the evil deeds that my abductors forced me to do while I was in their service? Will they continue to protect me from the monsters that destroyed my life, once they realize what kind of monster I really am?

This is the first book of The Humanity Within Trilogy. Its sequel is What I've Done.

I wasn't always like this, a monster, running through the woods on an alien planet. I was once a man. I had dreams, a girlfriend, and a great job.
Then They came. In the middle of the night, They scooped me from my home, and... changed me.

Now I'm a beast, a demon the like of which the world I've become stranded on has never seen before, scraping by on the fringes of society, hiding from the natives, and doing my best to avoid notice.

After all, who could ever be friends with a monster?

The Civil War is over. The Autobots and Decepticons have been destroyed. Peace…is finally present in the magical land of ponies. Over a year later, while enjoying a night out with Spike, Princess Twilight Sparkle encounters an old friend deep within the Everfree Forest.

This was the worst mistake the Princess of Friendship ever made.

What follows next will lead our six friends into a new type of conflict they never thought existed, evils they never dreamt possible, and a battle…for their very lives.

And their ever-changing world.

Official sequel to Transformers: Equestria's Darkest Hour and the final installment in the Fall of Equestria series.

Once more, a big thanks to edCOM02 for his amazing work on the cover art!

A creature has risen out of the waters near Manehattan and seems to be hell-bent on reaching the capitol city of Canterlot, destroying anything in its path.
It must be stopped, no matter the cost.

Loss. Everyone goes through it, and Princess Celestia is no exception. Over her long life, she has lost many family members and friends.

It is during these moments of heartbreak that a mysterious stranger appears. He doesn't stay for long, and doesn't say much, but he has been there every time Celestia loses someone important.

Who is he? Why is he there? And why is it that Celestia is the only one who can see him?

He came from another world. He claims to be the Alicorn of Fate. Events inexplicably turn out in his favor. Ponies adore him for reasons they can't express. He counts bearers of the Elements among his friends, and one of them his lover. It seems he can do no wrong, and no evil befalls him.

Luna knows a threat when she sees one—and it has been allowed to go on long enough already.

(One of the three stories I was choosing between for Obselescence's Most Dangerous Game contest. I was trying to include as many of his prompts as possible in a single story with this one, but eventually decided to submit "Fading" instead.)

Having spent nearly a year in Celestia's court and by her side, the first and only human in Equestria is in rapidly deteriorating health. And despite all of her power, Celestia finds herself unable to help him.

(Written for the Most Dangerous Game contest, and in far less time than I would have liked. AU tag because for purposes of this story I'm ignoring the mirror world where Equestria Girls took place—this Equestria has no knowledge of humans in any way.)

Really, all Princess Celestia wanted was Harmony. It was her nature, her purpose. Those who threatened it tasted to brunt of her wrath, and many have tried. But when he came, Celestia's perception was flipped on its head. After a fierce battle, she lay broken and defeated before him, but was spared, left to lick her wounds, and mull over the choices given to her.

Five centuries later, Celestia uses her second chance to, once again, fortify her kingdom in Harmony alongside her fellow princesses. And as her mind drifts back to darker times—as she remembers a demon's cold words and thrashing hostility laced with compassion and wisdom—Celestia prepares for the most fool-headed thing she could ever do... Bring him back.

Now the alicorns of Equestria suffer the backlash of Celestia's choice. Join them as they hold fast to their ideals, keep secrets hidden, sins buried, and deny the primordial fiend that'll stop at nothing to test them.

Darksiders Crossover

Proofread by the ever-wonderful, ever fantastic Pearple Prose and Idsterian who just so happen to be the beez-neez.

Rated "Teen" for violence, mild imagery, mild language, and suggestive themes.

Enjoy!

The Caprica. At one time, an impressive piece of technology for humanity. Originally built for peace; retrofitted for war. But now, Marcus is all that remains of the human race after a hostile alien invasion, and he uses the only life he's ever known to escape his captors. Making a blind jump to unknown space, his skills as a pilot, and as a man in uniform, will be put to the test.

Rated teen for language and some adult situations.

The first thing Time could remember was his brother, Disregard. Because Disregard couldn't remember anything before Time and Time had no recollection of what things were like before then, they came to the conclusion that Disregard must have been the oldest. They were both satisfied with this, and then they left to go and watch the world grow.

As things progressed, they became distanced, but they still try to keep in touch. Sometimes, they wonder what it'd be like if they weren't themselves.
