What is there, after a hero has done what was needed? Twilight and the other Living Elements of Harmony have protected Equestria for many years, but the time has come to move on. What we do, what we say, and how we love can make all the difference in the world.

What starts off as my first lucid dream turns into a living nightmare. Everything I thought to know as common sense is thrown out the window. I am now in the body of the white unicorn known as Rarity. How did this happen? Why is this happening?
Of all the worst things that could happen this is… terrible. (I cannot and WILL not use her catchphrase lest I actually become Rarity and lose all sense of myself.)

I'm not sure that this can be counted as a "Comedy" because in hindsight, it's not really that funny.

Edit: Well... after giving it a few re-reads and seeing the little bits of positive feedback, I've decided that I'll try to continue this again when I have time and inclination that overlap each other.

A hater of the brony community gets a lesson on friendship.

A filly is picked on due to her heritage but finds counsel in one of her classmates.

Princess Luna finds out about the NLR and it's quest to overthrow her sister.
A short story I wrote about why I think Princess Luna would not want to rebel against her sister again and my guesses about how Equestria's government is run.

This could be Lyra's big break: she's the warmup musician for the first annual Running of the Leaves autumn concert! The audience will be huge, and if the musician does well, she could be on her way to bigger and better things! But it's going to be hard to prepare in the few days she has left, so Lyra really needs to work hard to be ready.

Unfortunately for Lyra, her mind doesn't seem to be at home right now. Instead, her body is being controlled by a very surprised MLP:FIM fan named Lyle Hartman. He doesn't know the first thing about playing the lyre, but time stops for nopony and the show must go on. So all Lyle has to do is figure out a way to get back to his proper world (and hopefully bring Lyra's mind back to wherever it went) before the unicorn is expected to perform on stage. Easy, right?

...Now if only Lyle could get somepony to believe him.

After a fall and a blow to the head, Lyra begins to have hallucinations that she's a young human girl in mental hospital. As she flashes back and forth between the two, medical personnel in each do their best to cure her of her delusions. But as the day wears on Lyra begins to question which world is real and which one is only a mental construction. How can she pick one world, when they both seem so convincing? And what happens if she chooses incorrectly?

The reign of Morgoth in Arda is over. He has been defeated by the Host of Valinor and the Valar have bound him once more in the chain Angainor and cast him through Doors of Night into the Void. There he has drifted for many long ages, pondering his deeds and his defeats until Ilúvatar comes and offers him a chance at redemption. Softened by ages in the endless Void, Morgoth accepts this chance at freedom. He is given a new body and sent to a new world with the task of learning the values he has shunned for so long. In this new world, under the watchful eyes of Equestria's Valar, the Dark Lord will come to realize that there are yet things greater than the power of darkness.

Also yes, I understand that there's no "e" in Silmarillion, it's a pony pun. Sil-mare-illion. Geddit? GEDDIT?

Lyra teleports a human to Equestria to learn more about their culture. Some SF concepts in the first two chapters, but probably going to delve into slice-of-life and some platonic romance.

My first foray into fiction after a ton of essay writing. C&C welcome!

Please also check out Nethelli's Far From Home, which has a similar premise and came first.

Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.
