One day, Discord had a wonderful idea. It was too peaceful in Equestria. There was a dire need for some chaos. What's more chaotic than a human displaced to Equestria? A human who's been displaced to Equestria with all his memories and lively possessions. Come to find out that this human has immense knowledge of both his homeworld, Earth, and Equus. His plan fails, and now there's a reasonably angry human in Equestria. Oh, Discord, can't send the human back. Wait, he managed to get Discord to help him find someone who could. Now the human has a small part of Discord's power and a mission. First, he's got to set up his home.

This story contains Slice of Life, maybe Drama not 100% sure, I'm going to try and work in Romance, Mystery, and Tragedy in later chapters. The slice of life doesn't really appear until past chapter 5.

This story contains profanity in the form of a protag who swears like a sailor. Dark and insensitive humor in the form of making references to world events. In addition to this, the protagonist uses humor as a coping mechanism, so dad jokes beware. Lastly, this story contains violence and gore—not extremely detailed on the gore part, but still warning all you folks. Also, this story will make references to many media franchises like Fallout, Star Wars, Titanfall, MHA, and The Hunger Games. Mainly Fallout and Titanfall. Due to the main setting being an underground facility based on those of Fallout and many mentions and appearances of things like Titans, Jumpkits, and Titanfall Weapons. These aren’t full-fledged crossovers of worlds, only equipment, vehicles, and possibly the design of characters. Finally, there will be a wide variety of military equipment, including small arms, artillery, ground, sea, and air vehicles, referenced in this fanfic. History nerds unite.

My goal is to upload at least one chapter per week unless I hit a severe case of writer’s block.

The goal of this story is to be an introduction to me as a writer and the world of the Keeper. I hope to learn a great deal from this short fanfic, so please leave your feedback, both positive and negative. Just keep it constructive. I’ve waited long enough; it's time to see how you like it. Plus, if you don’t like this story in particular, Janon is kind of a side character, so you can still enjoy the expansive world of The Keeper without reading it. Just know you’re destined to find something you like in the world of The Keeper, and if not, suggestions are always welcome.

Before you ask, the cover is an AI-generated image edited by me.

This story is a sequel to Cold

Time flows differently, in the multitude of plains that make up the universe. Seconds here can be hours there... and hours here can be decades over there. There is, however, one universal constant among all time and space: Time never stops. Perhaps I counted on time as my ally when I cast that spell and dove into the past... if only I'd know just how cruel and unwavering it can really be.

Thirty years, I've tried... in most other worlds, it's probably been hundreds, but I've managed to keep track. Thirty years of searching, trying and trying again, desperately doing everything in my power to bring you back... and all that I've learned is that unless I make this choice, it's simply not possible... I hope you'll forgive me. I know that'll be hard... but maybe given enough time, you'll understand... -Twilight Sparkle

The Dragon Lands are a relatively harsh land when compared to other, more fertile regions. Full of many different large reptilians, poisonous creatures, active volcanoes, the occasional forest or jungle. And, of course, dragons. It is a land of competition, aggression, resilience, and struggle. Though there are many creatures clawing and biting their way for survival and territory, dragons often find themselves on top. They have a pretty easy time dealing with most opposing creatures, given their fire breath and thick, hard scales.

With that being said, dragons are not left without adversity or nuisance. Other dragons and certain larger or unique beings can be found giving dragons a hard time for any number of reasons. Rocs, for example, attack their young with hard beaks and talons. A few of them together, if desperate, could harm an adult dragon. Sling Tails tend to inhabit mountains, making flight near mountains require finesse. Or, at least, hardheadedness.

One creature, however, will prove to be more than just an inconvenience. More than just a potential source of food. More than a small part of a larger picture. In fact, this creature will prove to be not only persistent, but dangerous. And, many times, deadly.

Dragons are not safe from this creature. They aren't even sure what it is. What they do know, is that it is one opponent worth paying attention to.

This is the story of...

Co-Written by 'CPL, Colourfulpony' of the Manechat discord server

THIS WAS PLANNED AND PARTLY WRITTEN BEFORE CHAPTER 4 OF MAKE YOUR MARK!

A year after Unity was restored among ponykind, Sunny and her friends finally defeated Opaline Arcana.
Who is this she that Opaline refers to? And what's a human, and why do they want to go to the Crystal Empire?

15/03/2023: Violence tag added due to references of torture and blood.

03/04/2023: Sex tag added due to references of sex in the most recent chapter (Chapter 19).

Peace.

A concept that many beings strive tirelessly for throughout their existence, yet also might never have the privilege to see.

A concept that the whole of Equestria might finally be able to enjoy for a good long while.
Nightmare Moon has been defeated and Princess Luna restored, the changeling invasion was repelled, King Sombra was banished eternally and the Crystal Empire returned to its former glory, and even Discord himself was eventually reformed towards a better state. Indeed, it could be said that the ponies of Equestria might finally be able to relax and recuperate from many an averted crisis.

But peace is a fragile thing...is it not?

Since her recovery, Princess Luna has been pushing herself ever harder towards finally gaining her subject's acceptance that she longs for so much. However, as the months drag on, the stress has slowly begun threatening to bring her towards the breaking point. Whilst seeking out what she believes might finally show the ponies that she only means well, the Princess of the Night happens to stumble upon something not ever once seen upon the face of the planet. A piece of ancient knowledge, all but completely lost to the passage of time.

However, even the greatest of knowledge...has the potential for unmatched destruction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I won't ask that you take it easy on me, only that you try to keep any criticism on the constructive level (unless I do something blatantly stupid and abhorrent...). In turn, I will do my absolute best to take all of your suggestions to mind, and attempt improve the story in any fields necessary.
All in all...it won't be perfect, but it is my greatest hope that it will in some way pique your interests.

This story is a sequel to The Royal Three.

When Atlas, Apollo and Artemis were transported to Equestria by mysterious portal eight months ago, they knew that their lives would never be the same.

And they were right. Now they have great careers, wonderful romantic relationships, and a lot of new friends. They’re also heroes for their actions during the changelings invasion. And their future is looking bright.

What does this new year have in store for them?

Your guess is as good as mine.

(This story takes place in season three and the beginning of season four. This series is inspired by the Hearts of iron four mod Equestria at war and TNO the last days of Europe.)

It’s Celestia’s birthday and her little sister Luna Is determined make sure that everything was perfect for her big sister’s special day. (Despite the not-so-great wakeup call) But when a portal opened out of nowhere and three humans comes out of it and literally crashed the party, and all hell breaks loose. What’s going to happen to them?

Your guess is as good as mine.

(This series starts a few weeks before the episode “best night ever”)

Centuries ago, the younger sibling of the Solar Princess was sealed away. What followed that was the disastrous rebellion of the young sister's soldiers. Once the rebellion was crushed along with the Lunar Branch of the diarchy a period of harmony begun... or at least that was what was said. During this period, an "Incident" happened that nearly caused the collapse of the Solar Monarchy. An event that was "lost" to history. Centuries later, after the resealing of Discord; Princess Celestia summoned Twilight Sparkle for a secret mission.

"Twilight Sparkle, please help the Lunar Captain make some friends."

A journey regarding the hidden dark past of Equestria waits for the young hero.

War. Noun. (1) : a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.

"Soldiers are always preparing to fight the previous war" is a saying that is common amongst those of military profession. Equestria has not seen a war on her own soil in several hundred years. As such, would she be prepared for when such a thing happens? Of course not.

Battling the griffons and the minotaurs has been a challenge due to lack of experience. Fortunately, her armies adapted and started to hold her own. That was, until Tirek returned and aided in the fight to defeat Equestria. To keep his friends safe, Discord successfully defeated Tirek and sealed him away. The cost of fighting Tirek? Dying. Knowing that he would die, Discord summoned several creatures to protect his friends. These creatures, never seen before in Equestria, are very familiar with the concept of war.

This world has experienced their second industrial revolution and Equestria is at war, a World War, the first this world has seen. Equestria and her citizens have a lot to learn if they want to see the end of this conflict with their culture and way of life preserved.

It was supposed to be a normal day, or at least it should've been, but in a world were 10% of the human population has strange and bizarre powers normalcy is a rare thing. but for one young man with said strange powers, today was going to really flip everything on its head when he finds himself no longer in the world he knows, but in a world that ruled by talking animals and other mythological creatures. its going to be one weird and strange ride.

-Authors Note for Reader: the human MC comes from the Un-Natural verse that a few of my other stories has connections to. but this is a separate story, and will not feature any main characters from my other Un-Natural stories.

Contains: human on pony/interspecies. but clop will be fairly light in this story.
