"You either die a Hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the Villain."

Jasper William Montgomery, he just turned twenty and is absolutely bored with life. He's not suicidal, depressed, or a drug user with a penchant for drinking, he's just bored. Everything one can do in life, parties, going clubbing, video games, even computers don't really appeal to him. One thing that keeps him sane is watching shows from his youth and the occasional entertaining film. Due to a friends attempt to make him feel better he ends up watching all three seasons of My Little Pony and pretty much laughs at the fictional world. Being labeled a cynic and pretty much given up on by his friends, Jasper is alone. Until he's teleported away to Equestria by an observing Celestia.

I never thought that this day would come; the day that my dad would finally find someone to be with after being alone for so long. Not only that, but the one that he found, the one that he's decided to spend the rest of his life with, was none other than Princess Celestia.

I do feel happy for Dad, really I do, but I still didn't like the idea of my father getting remarried.

The thing is, though... I have no idea why I feel this way.

This story takes place in a universe where the human and pony worlds are in close contact, and the ponies are anthro in this story.

This is my first time writing a non-comedic story, so let's see how this goes. And because I know someone will ask:

This story is NOT connected to any of my previous stories.

Cover art by me.

The story is generally the same. A group of ponies go on a quest to stop an insane alicorn who had escaped banishment, learning about friendship along the way and mastering the Elements of Harmony. But the details...

It can be Trixie Lulamoon leading the Elements of Harmony against Corona.
Rainbow Dash could be Celestia's student and go to Ponyville.
Equestria could have a deep connection to three young people in its distant past.
The Elements of Harmony could have been moved to Manehattan for the ponies to quest for.
Princess Cadance might rule over an Equestria of music, with Octavia as her prized protege.
Or Spike and Twilight might have their roles reversed, the former a stallion and the Element of Magic.

And each one has been chosen by Discord, an Element removed to a seventh Equestria for purposes as yet unknown. Can they survive? Can they get home? Read and find out!

The Everfree Forest... Today, these words are able to fill a pony with fear - fear of the unnatural forest that grows and thrives by itself, without pony magic. But what most modern ponies don't know is that their culture, and even the history of their greatest magic, can be traced to the roots of the Everfree, deep below...

This is the tale of two unicorns who paved the way for the advent of Harmony, and also their quest for magical knowledge.

Just in case you're interested, I do use the expanded Dovahzul lexicon from thuum.org in this story.

UPDATE 11/26/13 Origins is 100% compatible with Season 4!
UPDATE 10/6/13 Updated to include the "Gore" tag because there may be some blood in future battle-scenes.

When Twilight sees a falling ball of fire during one of her stargazing excursions she concludes that it is something more sinister than a simple meteor.

Monty Python has often been credited with 'doing to comedy what The Beatles did to music'. It seems to fit, as the famed group of Brit comedians did change the way comedy was done. There are dozens upon dozens of sketches that have become classics; from The Spanish Inquisition and The Argument Clinic to The Black Knight and Brian claiming not to be the Messiah. From beginning to end, this collection pays tribute to them.

Notes: I'll leave it rated for everyone, but some of the sketches may contain language and other inappropriate references. If said sketches do, I will post their contents at the beginning as a warning, though that does not necessarily mean I will do any of these said sketches.

While investigating a strange portal-like formation that has appeared on the edge of Equestria, Twilight encounters the vanguard of an invasion force from an unnatural realm. Learning from a strangely familiar version of Death that this invasion is taking place in multiple alternate universes, she is given the option to enter the minds of various versions of her in countless parallel worlds to repel the invaders however she can - and rally them together for a finishing attack on their original realm: Oblivion.

But is she the only pawn Death has put into play? What really are the truth and motives behind the strange invaders? When she's done, will Twilight be able to return home, or is that beyond Death herself? And most of all, why in the world does Death look and act like one of Twilight's best friends?!

The only way for Twilight to find out is to pull out all stops - to thread the needle.

~ Will feature ponified parodies of many fictitious universes, a few true crossovers, and universes created by myself. Prepare for a fun, nerdy romp!

A special thank you to ShadowBlades for his input during the writing of this story. He's also credited with the pre-read. Cover art by ladynoob. Please check out her work!

Princess Celestia has it all. She is the diarch of a young nation with a sister who loves and respects her as an equal. Her ponies worship her sun and adore her presence. The nobility works for the growing nation. The nation works towards a brighter future for the generations to come.

With a distant eye upon a distant world, her consort is away to watch over a planet as much like Equus as it is different. They are sister worlds and Starswirl the Bearded has gone to study its lone intelligent species while his Sun Princess groans under the burden of bearing her first child.

As nervous as she is excited, Celestia counts the days, hours, minutes, and even seconds until the time she can hold her foal in her hooves. Oh, how she awaits the day! What could possibly go wrong?

Rated Teen for a disturbing scene.

This will be the first story I've attempted without an OC! Please! Stay in your seats! There's no need to be alarmed! I was not harmed in the writing of this one-shot!

All comments and suggestions welcome.

Alfred Wight, more commonly known across the world as the veterinarian James Herriot, finds himself in Equestria at the behest of Princess Celestia. While there, he encounters many strange cases, and generally feels quite out of his element. But Celestia has him set up practice as both animal and pony doctor in the small burg of Ponyville for a reason, and he finds himself as quite the fish out of water. Even so, the citizenry of Ponyville are just as colorful as the Yorkshire farmers he's used to, and it just goes to show that people are people, and patients are patients, no matter where you go.

This story takes place before the events of Friendship is Magic.

Rated Teen for graphic depictions of animal husbandry.

This will have sporadic updates, so please bear with me.

After Lyra discovers that a portal to the human realm exists, she sends a series of letters to Twilight Sparkle.
