One Cuil is one level of abstraction away from the reality of a situation.

For example: Twilight Sparkle looks for a book...

[One-Shot]

Princess Luna, purged of the Nightmare the day before, has officially been welcomed back into power and into the alleged loving embrace of the populace. Though in quite a weakened state from the whole ordeal, she cannot seem to sleep anymore come the evening.

So, she decides to take a walk. She may very well find more than a mere cure for her sleeplessness.

A Metroid Crossover

A meteor, resistant to magical manipulation, crashes in Equestria, Planet Equis, and soon spreads an unknown poison throughout the land. Containment is all but failing and the Princesses have little power to stop the spread of the Great Poison. The Elements of Harmony are of little use as no knowledge exists of this threat that consumes all life. Help comes from a certain Hunter, clad in metal.

Samus Aran will not only fight for her life as always, but her own sanity as well as these ponies that she begrudgingly starts seeing as allies. New horrors and abilities await her as a reason to fight slowly festers within her, possibly unlocking something she had been denied for so long: Friendship.

Notes and Resources:

This takes place after Echoes. The events of Corruption will have not happened yet. In terms of MLP, consider everything up to and including the Crystal Empire. Princess Twilight does not exist here, etc. The official Metroid Timeline can be found here.

As well, this story references the manga in many places. Reading of it is not required and I try my best to explain the context, but if you're interested, both volumes can be found here.

EDIT: This story was written over two and a half years, beginning in 2013. You'll probably notice the difference in writing as the chapters progress.

The Crusaders sometimes form conclusions and make decisions based on impulsivity and gut feelings rather than rational thought. So, when they meet Ponyville’s newest, specialty flower vendor—a young, quiet mare from Alemaneia named Schneeblume—Scootaloo immediately begins to suspect something… that behind her quiet exterior, that bright smile, and those kind eyes, she's hiding something sinister.

Well, technically, she is... but perhaps not in the manner they expected.

In the end, the three quickly-growing fillies may find that their cutie marks and their penchant for helping ponies may come in a different fashion than they're used to.

Rainbow Dash has a new problem to deal with. After talking with Princess Twilight, the Alicorn tells her that the Wonderbolts have some new "requirements" for their tryout applications this year. One of those being a required amount of community service hours. To help her friend, Twilight suggests to Rainbow that she go with Scootaloo and Spike on a upcoming field trip to finish her remaining hours. Eager as she is, the Pegasus takes up the princess on her idea.

The next day, everything was going alright... For the most part. When they come across a comic book exhibit at the Manehattan Museum, both youngsters convince Rainbow to go inside and take a look. As they look around, they come across one of the biggest setups at the Museum on a new comic book that has gained some popularity over the past few years because of the characters and the story as a whole. But when they check it out, the Cyan Pegasus gets a strange feeling. Like something about it seems... real?

Note: Takes place a few months after the events of Season 4. This story is a crossover that I came up with based off of Blizzard's newest game, OverWatch. This is a two part story that includes a small epilogue to the events that occurred. I hope you guys enjoy it.

OverWatch belongs to Blizzard Entertainment
MLP belongs to Lauren Faust and Hasbro.

*Important!*Patch 1.89 Notes*
-Overwatch is awesome!
-Still planning the contents for the next chapter.
-The Slice of Life tag has been removed and replaced with the Adventure tag because I say so.
-Added the Alternate Universe tag because, without it, this story might confuse people.
-Once the upcoming chapter, 'One Small Step For Man' is published, this story will officially be considered a HiE (Human in Equestria).
-Description has been changed and updated.
-Bacon is awesome

The hero of this story, Creme Fraiche, had just finished moving his stuff into his new apartment --- after being told that he was to be transferred. Everything in his apartment seemed to be in working order at first, until he discovered the broken bathroom mirror.

During his search for a replacement, an old lady from a mystical-looking Chinese antique shop gave Creme exactly what he needed: a mirror. But the hero soon discovers that not only does the mirror doesn't show his reflection, it shows something else entirely: a cerulean-coloured pony with a rainbow-coloured mane --- with wings, too.

And it can talk.

*Author Notes*
-Twilight Sparkle is an alicorn in this alternate universe, however she has never been to the human world, nor has she met any humans before. To put it in more simpler terms: the events of all MLP: EqG movies never took place in this AU. Deal with it.

-As of the chapter 'Beyond Earth'. I quickly realized that the direction that my story is heading for will no longer be considered as a Slice of Life. Therefore, (since the two tags are counted as 'conflicting categories') I had it removed, and replaced (Adventure) to avoid any further complications, confusion and complaining.

-Bacon is awesome.

-This adorable cover art is done by the amazing DShou from deviantart! Do check out the dude's other works!

He is a bit of a hypocrite though.

Crossover with Overwatch

Why did I write this?

Twilight's power, along with that of Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, has been claimed by Tirek. Drunk on power, the demon-centaur is unleashing destruction upon Equestria, his reign of terror just beginning.

But there is hope. A crystalline chest, a gift from the Tree of Harmony, able to be opened by six keys. Keys which Twilight has now claimed the last of. All they can do is hope, hope that whatever is contained inside the chest is enough to stop Tirek.

And then something goes wrong ...

Note: This story is in no way connected with my other fanfics. It's very much a one-off in good fun.

Two-hundred years after the after the fall of NIghtmare Moon, her evil spirit has found a new host and threatens to plunge the whole of Celestia's empire into darkness once again. When Nightmare Moon finds a new source of near-unlimited power rooted deep in the past, Celestia has no choice but to turn to one higher than herself to save her kingdom; one who will set in motion a chain of events that will change the fate of Equestria and that of the world forever.

While he may not know it, Strato Sparkle is the distant relative of Twilight Sparkle: the brave mare who defeated Nightmare Moon the first time. While he thinks he has wandered into the forest to explore, fate has assigned another task for him: to fulfill his legacy and stop Nightmare Moon before she becomes

**My first fic!** Leave any constructive criticizms on the comment board: I plan on reading every last one of them. Also every chapter is going to contain a reference from the Inheritence Cycle, which is by the way the best book series ever. Shoutouts to everyone who catches them! Message me with answers. Enjoy!

The "Great and Powerful" Trixie has headed out to Appleloosa for a new start and a clean slate, but can she really leave behind a lifetime of bragging and showmareship?
