Zuri is a Zebra, living on the planet Palosol. Palosol shares its sun with Equestria, the pony-dominated planet. Raised as one of the powerful Sand-Trancers, Zuri can manipulate the world around her via the magic ingrained in her blood.

On a quest for renown, she leaves her home city beneath the sands in search of something that will let her live up to the legacy of her widely-known family. Within hours of leaving home, however, she runs afoul of frontier ponies, and quickly finds herself up to her neck in troubles brought about by their colonization efforts. In short order, she breaks free from their internment, finds friends in a band of oddly loyal mercenaries, sets a young ruler free, and winds up right in the middle of a sprawling plot that threatens both the pony colonies and the entire zebra civilization.

Warning: OC-Centric, lots of non-descript murder

This story is undergoing heavy editing, and it may just end up getting deleted and reposted at a later date when I've gotten it to somewhere I like. Not dead! Just still being clunked through revisions. Watch this space.

Four years ago Vinyl and Octavia broke up. It was messy, painful and left scars on both of them. Four years on, now one of the most successful DJs in Equestria’s history, Vinyl receives news that Octavia has been in a terrible accident. The doctors say she may never recover from her coma, but Vinyl refuses to believe them. There are all sorts of stories about coma patients who are brought back by the voice of someone they care about, right? No matter what anypony else says, offers or threatens, and no matter what it costs her personally or professionally, she is determined to stay by Octavia’s side and do all she can to wake her.

But four years is a long time, and no matter how many fairytales end with the princess waking up, real life owes no-one a happy ending.

I don’t question the “life” bar floating over my head, or my “EXP” gauge, or the little phantasmal boxes that appear whenever I look at an “equippable” object that show its “statistics.” It’s normal for small messages to appear in the sky every now and then, such as [System update in 2 hours.] My kind worships the Developers, higher beings that direct, create, and control everything we see. It’s all normal. This is how things have always been, since I was born. My father, my grandfather, my ancestors have all accepted and coped with these elements.

So why does everything feel so... fake?

My name is Twilight_Sparkle, and I know there’s something wrong here.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

This story is a sequel to The Longest Night

As her twenty-first birthday dawns, Twilight Sparkle finds her simple life turned upside down. While her birthright forces itself into her life, Twilight also has to deal with the arrival of three Alicorns. No pony knows where they came from or what they want, and the Alicorns seem intent on keeping themselves and their purposes hidden. To uncover the truth, Twilight will set sail for distant, ancient lands with old and new friends.

When Pinkie Pie ignores Zecora's warnings about the proper preparation of chuckleberries, she ends up locked in a battle with Sugarcube Corner's kitchen. Not just IN the kitchen. WITH the kitchen. Only Pinkie could be in a situation this ridiculous.

Hanna, the CEO of Hofvarpnir Studios, just won the contract to write the official My Little Pony MMO. Hanna has built an A.I. Princess Celestia and given her one basic drive: to satisfy everybody's values through friendship and ponies. Princess Celestia will satisfy your values through friendship and ponies, and it will be completely consensual.

After the changelings' failed invasion of Canterlot, Twilight tries to soothe some of Ponyville's rampant paranoia by casting a spell to prove there are no imposters hiding in the town. But her spell leaves her in an alien body, facing a mob of angry ponies who just don't believe her when she says she is Twilight Sparkle.

Or, at least, she was Twilight Sparkle, anyway...

What happens when a bored FiMfiction author decides to take advantage of his rising popularity and subject his audience to horrors more random then the children of Discord and Pinkie Pie? Will the moderators clamp down on him for being too meta? Will he be able to defend the First Posters? And does he have any appropriate background music for the inevitable clop scene demanded by his fans?

One thing's for sure, he should lay off the hat polish....
