Princess Twilight Sparkle was a forward scout of the Equestrian Federation. Darting from star to star in the fastest vessel ever built, she was tasked with exploring the unknown. She spent every waking moment visiting new stars and planets, as she journeyed toward the galactic center.

A decade and thousands of light years into her mission, Twilight received an order to return home and refused it. She’s too committed to her quest; she has invested far too much time and hope to abandon it.

Now a fugitive for disobeying her orders, Twilight warps into a new star system. She has just moments to breathe before her pursuers catch up again. With no choice but to go onward, she takes the time to continue her exploration, before returning to her quest toward the galactic center.

A crossover based loosely off of the premise of No Man's Sky

For centuries no one has successfully challenged the might of the Draconian Empire. They rule most of the known galaxy with a heavy, clawed fist. Yet on one small, insignificant planet, that is about to change. When Princess Luna steps into a nightmare, and onto another world, she will give the rebels something they've never had before: a chance to win. For although the dragons control the high orbitals, sending death down on the helpless world below, Luna controls the power of the moons. And it just so happens that the rebel world has four of them.

Unlike most of my work, this story comes with no promises of quality, no promises of completion, and no promises that I will listen to feedback either. I am embarking on this project solely for my own enjoyment, because I am having fun writing it. I'm posting it only because I'm sure a few of you will also have fun reading it.

Your Universe is large, too large for words. And you may believe that it is stable, moving across time and space unmolested. But all universes are simply balls in a giant game of billiards, forever intertwining in the Void, across Infinity. This is known as the Multiverse, or Yggdrasil, the Tree of Existence. Its gardener is the Entity, a being that thinks its task is to make sure the branches and roots of Yggdrasil do not intermingle. But every now and then, the curious consciousness finds an oddity.
This oddity is a lost soul who seeks nothing more than to distance himself, firmly believing in his own insanity. But somehow, his actions affect the lives of many, and even Equestria itself. This is the story of Windell's journey and the adventures taken by those that have noticed the incursions.

On a day of remembrance, a new threat arises, shedding light on old mysteries.

This follows Two Pair by about 700 years, but is not a very similar story, and reading Two Pair is not necessary to understand Sparkle Day.

Certain alicorns have no regard for the rules of space and time. An astral sub-dimension becomes a potent weapon in what appears to be a divine prank war. Shining Armor hits the sauce.

Written for this contest thinger.

Twilight Sparkle and Spike save a dragon girl from a savage attack, and the girl is grateful, but her gratitude turns to suspicion and bitterness when she gets a glimpse of how dragons are treated within Ponyville. This sets off a long journey of challenge and discovery for Spike, and all of his Ponyville friends, that could change the fate of two nations forever.

General Iroh. Fire Nation hero. First born son of Fire Lord Azulan. The Dragon of the West. It was thought he would be the greatest warrior in the history of the Fire Nation.

But all that changed when the war claimed his son's life. This changed him, and he turned his back on the war.

This was a necessary event. Iroh had a role to play in bringing balance back to the world...but to play that role, he first had to be broken down, so that he could be rebuilt. This truth was self evident in the spirit realm.

But one particular spirit felt this was unfair to Iroh. The wheels of fate are cruel to those caught in the gears, but this particular spirit felt that Iroh deserved kindness. And so this spirit sent Iroh one who would help him to rebuild himself.

And so, shortly after his son's funeral, Iroh would find a creature sent by the spirits, the likes of which he never would have imagined...a pretty pink pony princess.

Somepony to love...and be loved by.

Twilight Sparkle - magus, heroine and Princess - has learned of worlds overlapping Ungulatia in space and time. Though this has been a well known phenomenon, safely traveling to these other worlds has always eluded pony mages. But now - after years of research and careful experiments - she prepares herself for the most audacious of all experiments: stepping hoof on the surface of an alien world and returning safely! What wonders will she find once she walks through her magic portal?

This assumes that Equestria Girls never happened.

Prince Crystal Sword knew that his mother Cadance would out live both he and his father Shining. However, after saving a pony from an attacker, he unlocks the alicorn gene with him, taking on the role of a guardian of Equestrian.

Now Crystal must endure as his he and his mother remain young. Meanwhile his father Shining continues to age, a fact with causes him great turmoil. And when the Empire is thrown into a war with the changelings, the young prince and his mortal father will fight for each others survival in the frozen tundra of the north. If Shining Armor is to die, Crystal Sword is bent on makeing sure changelings play no role in his fathers inevitable death.

This story is apart of a split timeline of the My Mortal Big Brother saga, but is also a prequel of sorts. It takes place in a universe where Shining Armor never had the nightmare that scared him into seeking immortality.

In ages past, just after the defeat of Discord, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Commander Hurricane thwarted an invasion of Infernal beings from Tartarus bent on capturing Equestria's magic and enslaving her people. The cost of victory was high, though, and while Celestia has persevered through countless crises since then, the losses on that Infernal battlefield haunt her to this day.

But Paul Harken, a modern-day student of the occult from Earth, will soon give Celestia a chance at the salvation she so desperately desires, even as Equestrian history threatens to repeat itself. While attempting to summon the demon who ruined his life, an error in the ritual instead delivers Twilight Sparkle into Harken's summoning circle. At first confused and then concerned, the pair finds themselves on the run, pursued by a secret order of demon-hunters, and their desperate attempt to return Twilight to Equestria only plays into the hands of a far older and more sinister foe.

Now with editing goodness provided by the insightful and observant Fana Farouche!

[Gore] for battlefield scenes and rare appropriate moments, not overwhelming or gratuitous bloodshed.
[Sex] for innuendo, references and a bit of tension. Nothing more graphic than PG or so.
There's no [Tragedy] tag, but this is going to be a bumpy ride, and you can count on bad things happening to good people/ponies before it's all over.
