Marines are trained to handle anything...but the training never accounted for being stranded, alone, on a world without even the rudiments of post-Industrial era tech, and no way home.

Join a human soldier as he encounters a species unlike any the human race as encountered before.

Wow, there's no good way to write a synopsis for this without spoiler soup being served up.

When Twilight Sparkles' latest magical test goes wrong, the main six find themselves back at the point where it all began.

Join the mini main 6 as they attempt to live their lives for the second time and work out why things seem so different. Oh, theirs just one problem, they’re all alicorns now, or kinda alicorns.

Inspiration.
First off, I'm a huge fan of the MLP Time Loop and Infinite loops, this is my idea of a time travel story.

As for the time event and title, my first thought was Superman flying around the world so fast he turned back time, I threw in 2013's Flash Point Paradox for good measure (no I haven't seen the new movie)

Lake Cleaver wasn't expecting to find a portal to another world, one known as Equus, hidden in his closet. Neither were his friends, Tory Rhett and Roxanne Collins, for that matter. Nor were any of them expecting to be changed into horse shaped equines known to the locals as ponies. As far as they all knew, physics that completely destroyed everything anyone knew about how the universe operated weren't possible. And yet, the portal appeared.

And then it disappeared when they stepped through to the other side of the universe, leaving them stranded in a strange new world of horses.

Now the three of them are looking for a way back to Earth, and they won't be doing it alone. Manehattan's biggest Humans in Equestria club member, Sapphire Glow, is there to help them find a way back home. If they even can get back home. Somehow, none of them think it'll be as easy as stepping through a portal.

Updates whenever.

This story is a sequel to Welcome To The Dreamscape

A teen named Bryan, who’s been overworked, underpaid and is severely sleep deprived, is approached by none other than Nightmare Moon during a strange dream, who promises to comfort him during his time of struggle.

Eerie Lantern would be happy to go through the rest of her life without seeing a living soul... after all, she can see ghosts. What could the living have to offer but endless heaps of trouble? Then one fateful evening, one of her worst fears comes true:

A pony wants to be her friend!

Moonlight Raven is a goth pony who doesn't shy away from the dark and grim. Her sister, Sunshine Smiles, is equally unflappable in her optimistic joy. Together, they are easily the most terrifying thing Eerie has ever faced.

So how can she get rid of them, and ensure nopony else ever bothers her again?

Uh... preferably without murder? Sheesh! As if she needed to be haunted by any more disgruntled murder victims...

Death and Violence tags for the sorrowful recollection of a ghost's demise.

My Ko-Fi

After graduating college, Maya was eager to start her social work career helping disadvantaged youth, but got pulled into the whimsical pony world of Equestria while dressed as Posey Bloom for Halloween. Though now an earth pony herself, she finds purpose using her counseling talents to mentor the Mane 6 ponies. Maya's traumatic childhood left her craving friendship and wonder, which she just might find in this colorful new home.

Spoiler/Warning tags: Human to pony(fairly immediate)

A man suddenly finds himself in Tartarus, no clue how he got there, and no idea how to get out, yet. As time continues forward he grows closer to the creatures locked up there. But one day new knowledge is found that could change everything. Will the human still be the same man as when he got there? Will Tirek finally get a heart as red as he is? And will everybody's favorite guard dog get his belly rubs!? (Hint: Yes, yes he will)

On the day of the Summer Sun Celebration, Nightmare Moon returned from her banishment. The power she had accumulated during her stay on the moon proved to be too great for Princess Celestia, and Equestria's ruler was defeated.

Weeks later, Anon arrived in Equestria via unknown means. Although lost and confused, his natural resistance to magic made him quite useful to Nightmare Moon. To his surprise, he quickly became one of her most trusted servants and found himself falling in love with her. Even more surprisingly, it seemed like she was doing the same.

Eventually, despite Anon's best efforts, Nightmare Moon was defeated and Princess Luna returned. Everyone was rejoicing. Everyone... except him. Because Anon did not fall in love with Princess Luna.

Anon fell in love with Nightmare Moon.

In the heart of Equestria, shadows gather and secrets lie buried. A young alicorn named Nyx carries the weight of a dark past, while a relentless adversary seeks revenge that could shatter her resolve.

Unveil the enigmatic journey where loyalties waver and a sinister peril looms, threatening to unleash chaos upon an unsuspecting land. 'Black Feather' is a tale of mystery, vengeance, and the choices that define heroes and villains.

A Notice of Hiatus

Jackson Brunner was walking home from work when he slipped and fell. He then awoke in a palace made of crystal that seemed to be long abandoned. Exploring these halls, Jack feels a strange sense of foreboding. Almost as if something horrible had happened here.

And that's not even the strangest thing about this situation.

No, things will only get stranger from here once the new owners of the palace show up.
