When writing a story of considerable length, writers often come up with dozens of ideas that don't make it into their original story.

The following stories are such ideas that I had for Cry for Eternity that didn't make the cut for one reason or another, but were too good to just throw away.

Enjoy.

Often called a psychotic, meth dealing hillbilly with a habit of untamed violence and murder sprees, Trevor Philips is someone that no one wants to mess with. The body pile he leaves behind and then sets on fire just for the heck of it proves that. But after a particularly deadly drug deal gone wrong, Trevor finds himself in a place even his disturbed mind has difficulty comprehending.

The feeling is mutual for the ponies.

A terrible new day rises when a tragedy, foreseen only by Celestia but preventable by none, occurs right in the middle of Canterlot, turning Twilight Sparkle's world upside-down. Now, all of Equestria is looking to her to hold the broken nation together, all while she tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.

A/N: Yes, the title was based of the Dragonforce song of the same name, you may stop postulating about it now.

In the land of Equestria long before Twilight or any of her friends were born the kingdom was ruled not by the alicorn sisters but by a king. King Sleigh instead of ruling with harmony rules with the absolute certainty that the unicorn race is far superior than the pegasi or earth ponies. Those born without the gift of magic seen as something inferior and not to be cared for except as labor.

But how long can a kingdom of hate and fear survive? Cities are rising up against their oppressor and in the midst of it all strange rumors are circulating of the two responsible for this. Rumors speaking of them possessing both horn and wings.

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."

The Xel'Naga Artifact's activation at the end of the battle on Char has a completely different result than Raynor expected. It sends the Queen of Blades to Equestria, and the Elements of Harmony. Given her reality bending power, and overall manipulative nature, the Elements restrict her power upon her arrival. So, what's a newly weakened Queen of Blades to do, inside the Elements' vault in the castle?

Note: If you're not familiar with the SC universe and haven't played the last mission in the WoL campaign, the prologue and a few other things might not make sense to you. I suggest you either get the game, as it is one of the best RTS games ever made, or read up on a bit of lore before you get started.

Inspired by Celestia vs the Queen of Blades, and the lack of other Kerrigan crossovers, barring the all out invasions or Ponies as Starcraft campaign transplants.
