20-year-old Ryan Burbank is living with his girlfriend in their woodland home when he is struck by a mysterious infection seemingly out of nowhere. To everyone's horror, his sickness spreads quickly throughout his body, shutting him down one piece at a time. The doctors are at a loss of what to do about this new form of bacteria. Ryan and his loved ones choose to keep fighting until either a cure can be discovered...or the pain becomes too much.
At the height of his suffering, he discovers a happy little show while watching television in his hospital room. The bright colors and happy attitudes of the cartoon equines provide him with a much-needed escape from the daily pain of being killed from the inside.
Eventually, the pain becomes too much and he decides it would be better to go out surrounded by his family, in the embrace of those who kept him company throughout his short life. Just as he starts to fade, his eyes wander to the screen of the hospital room television and the cartoon ponies who adorn it. Something strange begins to occur...almost like the screen is pulling him in. Tunnel vision, maybe?
No, that can't be it...why can he hear his name being called by a very familiar voice? And why is she...crying? Who is this crying, familiar voice and why does she seem to know him?

SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS

Rated "Teen" for language and the "Sex" tag is for all of the sexual humor and suggestive situations. If I decide to up the suggestive stuff in the future, I'll change the tags and rating to fit that change.

Years before six brave mares faced off against a returned Nightmare Moon, a young mare by the name of Sauer Kraut lived on her family’s farm in the Mysterious South at the foot of Macintosh Hills.

Her biggest issues in life were the constant search for new challenges and projects as well as her family's unenthused reactions to them. But was it really her fault that nopony got the brilliance behind her ideas?

However, her entire life got turned upside down the day a patrol of the Southern Equestrian Legion shot down a mysterious creature flying right overhead.

A peaceful home on the outskirts of Appleloosa and two loving fathers is all Ballad Breeze can really ask for.

But things go downhill the moment tragedy strikes, which leaves her alone with no place else to go. Desperate for acceptance and the happiness her parents once gave her, Ballad turns to the wrong pony and finds herself trapped in an insufferable lifestyle that causes her to lose sight in herself and everything she once believed in, including love.

(contains mild gore scenes and mild sexual references/activities)

One day when her sister goes on a trip with her friends, A young filly named Sweetie Belle tries to find herself something to do in order to cure her boredom. However, when she was getting everything that she needed in order to go crusading, she finds a strange looking device from inside her closet. One that she assumes is a watch.

Turns out... that watch has a powerful companion and friend inside it that her mother knew when she was only her age. Now with her mother gone though, the figure named Rena takes it upon herself to look after the children of her previous partner. And to teach the youngest one, Sweetie Belle, to stand up for herself and to be strong at heart. Just like her mother once was. Sure, it may sound like a lot of weight on her shoulders with the almost daily shenanigans that Equestria is known for and the fact that there's also this Digital World that is almost unknown to modern Ponykind, but hey. Nopony said she was going to do this alone.

A Displaced tale involving Renamon from Digimon. Takes place at the beginning of Season 5 when The Mane Six go off to Our Town. You can blame Solphestus for this idea xD

Updates for this story will not be consistent and will happen at random times. I want to update this more often, but I already have a lot of things going on at the minute

Mysterious portals to a “First World” are appearing all around Equestria. Even worse, there are unknown creatures coming through! When it’s discovered that these creatures are immune to unicorn spells, Twilight comes up with a bold idea to harness earth pony magic to combat the menace. Applejack must take the first steps on a new path she never expected, which just might be the biggest challenge she’s faced yet.

This is pretty much my first work of fiction, so I greatly appreciate any and all feedback. Let me know what you think!

Might contain some incidental Dungeons & Dragons crossover elements, but not enough to warrant the tag, I think.
Rated Teen for mild violence and language.

The alternate timelines visited by Twilight Sparkle during her showdown with Starlight Glimmer were shown only for a moment. But what is a day in the life like for her former friends and neighbors? This series peers into the lives of those living without the magic of friendship to brighten their world.

Rainbow & the Pie sister's story to come next chapter!

This story takes place during the Season Five finale, "The Cutie Re-Mark". As such, there are spoilers ahead.

Starlight Glimmer's plan is working. All she has to do is upset Rainbow Dash's rainboom-creating race in the past, and Twilight Sparkle's connection with her friends will be severed. And she's done it. Repeatedly. Sure, Twilight can go back in time to try and stop her, but Starlight will always be brought back as well. No matter what Twilight tries, no matter how many times she returns, she can't stop Starlight. They're evenly-matched, and it's much easier to disrupt events than it is to preserve them.

That means Starlight wins, right?

After so long, the barrier preventing the monsters of the underground from feeling the sunlight on their skin (or fur, scales, bones, etc.) has shattered. Everyone is exploding with anticipation to see the horizon from the top of Mt. Ebott, to feel the clean fresh air, and to experience the wonders of the surface. Giddy excitement turns to confused shock when everyone finds them self not atop a mountain overlooking the sunrise, but in a dark forest with an air of fear in the mist at their feet.

The lives of the residents of Ponyville get a little more interesting when seven visitors unlike anything Equestria has ever seen appear out of the Everfree forest. While they are intimidating at first (especially a certain blue one), they are quite friendly once you get to know them. There are only a few problems, they have nowhere to stay, and many more of their kind are coming.

Crossover between Undertale by Toby Fox and MLP:FiM. Set at the times of the True Pacifist ending and before the Season 4 finale respectively. Moderate spoilers for Undertale.
