Giant monster invasions and national emergencies is little excuse to exclude the cutesier moments that result when denizens of two realms bump into each other. Sometimes it takes literally meeting someone from a completely different world to find who you mesh with.

============
Warning contains fluff and lots of it. Shameless, shameless fluff that Cadance approves of. As well as massive spoilers for "The Bridge: A Godzilla - MLP Crossover".

This story is a sequel to The Bridge: A Godzilla-MLP Crossover

(Actually a midquel, but reading The Bridge is not required)

As the tales of the Bridge take hold, something else wholly the same and yet wholly different occurs.
After all, lightning never strikes the same way twice...

This story is a sequel to Metroid Equis

With the culmination of events on the BSL Research Station, Samus Aran is finally able to come back to Equestria, Planet Equis; to come back home. Much has changed in her absence, but it is still the friendly, peaceful, welcoming planet and nation that she left behind two and a half years prior. With the Space Pirate threat neutralized and the secret, illegal Metroid militarization programs destroyed, it appears that Samus can finally take another massive breather with her friends and enjoy some well-deserved rest, recovery, and relaxation. The galaxy is finally at peace.

At least... for a short while.

A new enemy, one much closer to home, soon rears its head, threatening all of Equestria and Equis with complete and utter annihilation. Their mission: revenge. Samus will fight with all of her being alongside her allies against an enemy who would like nothing more than to see all that she holds dear, including her home planet, completely razed. In so doing, her cunning, ever determined enemies unleash a weapon so unexpected, so eerily familiar yet horrifically foreign that even Samus herself just might prefer the late Ridley or the SA-X...

Canon Considerations
MLP-FiM: Up to AND including "Magical Mystery Cure." (Seasons 1, 2, and 3)
Metroid Series: Everything up to AND including Metroid Fusion (Including original mangas. See official timeline above). So, effectively everything.

An interlude between Flammenwerfer's fics Metroid: Equis and its sequel, Metroid Equis II: Duality.

The war is over. Equis has survived the dual threats of Phazon and Space Pirate invasion. A new era of peace and prosperity covers the planet, as new trade routes between Equis and the Federation - centered in the country of Equestria - bring new technology and wealth to the nation, and the world.

But these thoughts are far from Fluttershy's mind. Her thoughts are focused on her friends - especially Samus, far distant from the world - her daily life, and her animals.

In particular, a new one... One she's never seen before. But she calls Fluttershy Mama, so of course she'll care for the little flying jellyfish, whatever she is.

What could go wrong?

Edit: It isn't required to read Metroid: Equis to enjoy this story...but it's highly recommended to read it anyway. It's a really good story.

Sometimes it's easy to just smile.

Sometimes it's easy to be inoffensive.

Sometimes it's easy to just smile and nod.

It's much harder, however, to be honest. To tell the truth, especially when nopony wants to see it.

Thanks to Ponystar for inspiring me to write this. The 'Assassination' Series is the biggest chunk of what made me come up with this.

Pinkie Pie accidentally places herself in a precarious position when she plants her palate on a pole.

Celestia has a dangerous creature held in the deepest of Canterlot's high-security dungeons. It can create ponies (with full backgrounds and histories) with it's strange and often-times prophetic powers. The Princess does her best to keep it under wraps, but its only a matter of time before it's "creativity" will get out of control.

Fluttershy has a crush on the first and only human in Equestria. Nothing inherently wrong with that.

Only problem is it's her teacher.

Faced with this conundrum can Fluttershy gain the courage to say how she truly feels to the man she loves, or will she succumb to her own self defeating nature.

And exactly what does Gilda have to gain from this?

Warning: The Anthro and Human tags are separate.

Long ago Celestia imprisoned a powerful, dangerous entity. Too bad nobody seems to realize he's a harmless dope.

This story started out as a parody of the two stories Machinations in the Dark and Celestia's Prophet. You may wish to read them first to get some context for the first chapter.

Now has a tvtropes page!

Twilight Sparkle has spent months researching chaos magic, developing a new spell to unlock magic nopony has ever experienced before. But when something goes wrong with casting, Twilight finds herself turned into a Draconequus and unable to control her new chaos magic. If she ever wants to be a pony again, there is only one who can help her learn to control her new magic.

Of course, learning from Discord was never going to be simple. And after a while, being a draconequus doesn't seem so bad anyway....
