[Featured on EqD and FiM Fiction] It is that time again, the dreaded flu season. Not even Princess Celestia, the ruler of the sun and day, is safe from it. When Celestia contracts the flu, what pony could possibly nurse Celestia back to health? Why none other than her dear, loving sister of course! Enter Nurse Luna!

Between crazed guards, a palace staff desperate to please their rulers, and a crazed unicorn running around, no pony is safe from this madness.

This is 100% Approved by Twilight's Library.

What if your OC could live in Equestria? Perhaps a background pony who befriends Derpy? Maybe a philanthropist who wants to lend a helping hoof? Or could you be a blank flank simply trying to find your place? Apply to the O.C.I.O and you might be lucky enough to become a citizen of Equestria!

These are the ponies who... didn't make it through the screening.

(An ongoing collaborative effort. You present a purposely bad OC to me and I'll give you the go to write a chapter. If it meets criteria, I'll edit and post here. Be warned posting will be slow.)

So begins the Commentarii De Bello Equestrico
Edit/PS: this story will now include Images, elements and aspects of the total war franchise of games, Monty python, and other popular culture sources, and I readily maintain that I receive no monetary profit from using the work of others. Caveat Lector.

Ol a viking warrior from old scandanavia is sucked into Equestria while in the midst of battle. He appears before Twilight and her friends soaked in blood and unable to understand a word of what they say, can Ol live in the peacful land of Equestria or is he too stuck in his war torn ways to live alongside the ponies?

After Princess Celestia appoints Twilight Sparkle and her friends to be ambassadors to Earth, they decide to introduce themselves to the humans by appearing in a horse show, but they need someone to get them ready. They call on Megan, the legendary warrior who guarded ponykind in days of yore. Megan has banished or slain countless demons, but can she convince the ponies to hold still long enough for her to braid their manes?

This crosses over with G1, but should be accessible to all.

While moving to her new home, Zecora find the strangest creature - a large, nigh-hairless talking monkey-thing. Seeing how it lacks basic knowledge on surviving in the wild (and that it's quite tall and probably good at manual labour) she decides to adopt it as her assistant. Hopefully, she won't come to regret her decision.

The Canterlot Caverns are a strange and enigmatic place, untouched and forgotten by pony-kind for centuries. So when a strange metal object is unearthed in their depths, it's up to Twilight Sparkle and Lyra Heartstrings to discover the many secrets it holds.

Together, the two of them will have to do their best to understand the remnants of an ancient civilization, and decipher what remains of Those Who Came Before.

And a special Thank You goes to The Sentient Cloud for allowing me the honor of continuing this great story after he retired from writing fimfictions.

As it turns out, this story is eerily similar to Lyra Heartstrings and the Hand of Man. Due to their similarity, I feel that it would be appropriate to give said story a mention.

The Producers have long been the bane of the Top Gear team's existence, sending them off into the most dangerous and hilarious of situations in the name of good television. Now follow Captain Slow, Hamster and Jezza as they are sent off again into the unknown as some of the first humans to set foot (Or wheel) into the land of Equestria.

Oh, and the Government isn't exactly on board with this one either...

Teen for language and sexual references.

"Lyra Heartstrings; famous musician and avid believer in Humans. Some ponies call her crazy, but maybe she's seen too much to ignore the truth. The difference between belief and truth is a thin, opaque line that's easier to cross then most think.

My name is Fox Dulmer and I want to believe."

A/N: Inspired on the TV series "The X-Files". OC names are anagrams of the main characters (just felt natural). Marked Teen for possible suggestive matter later.

Years, he did not know how long he was trapped in those accursed caverns, forced to do their bidding. But he did know that he would be free. He was broken; he pieced himself back together. He didn't piece himself correctly. He is free. What left the caverns is no longer a man. He broke free of his shackles; he is now little more than a creature. Enslavement can change a lot of things about a person. Would you break?

Characters and tags will be added as the story progresses.
