Richard Emmerson, a retired US cavalryman, and his somehow talking horse, Coal, are transported to Equestria. Their circumstances lead them to adventure all around the land and cause quite a commotion. Join them in their undertaking to find a way back home as they dodge all sorts of obstacles in this seemingly hostile environment.

Author's Update: This story has been placed on hiatus for the time being. I am more focused and have more drive to finish "Put it to Rest" at the present moment. In addition, this was my very first story and contains a lot of nonsensical plot points, weird characters just popping out of nowhere, and plots that I basically glued together with a bunch of Elmer's glue and threw it in. I hate to admit it, but when I started this story, I was in my edgy teen stage and it CLEARLY shows. I'm still trying to figure out where I'm taking this story or if I want to continue it at all. If I end up cancelling it, I will make sure to release what I envisioned ended up happening to Richard in the end. I'll likely rewrite it as well since I think the concept of an old US Cavalryman engaging in Equestrian society is an interesting one, just not well-executed here.

Like many fillies without a cutie mark, Trixie finds herself feeling aimless and unsure of herself. Naturally, she dreams of something big and hopes it has to do with magic. But the lessons at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns are difficult and some of her fellow students are relentless in their bullying.

While pondering how exactly she is meant to discover her special talent, she meets a creature who seems to wield a great and powerful magic and has an answer to every question, especially the odd ones. And especially the ones Trixie never asked.

Sunset Shimmer isn't like the other Freshman in Canterlot High School. While so many others explain away the strange things that happen in their town, she knows better. There's an entire world out there, a world of magic and incredible creatures, one that she's determined to reach.

Careful study and preparation brings her to the portal in front of her school, at the last moment of its opening. Sunset doesn't have a clue what might be waiting on the other side, but she's sure it will lead her to the magic she's always wanted.

No matter what it costs.

Theodor Pichler knew joining the Barrow Observatory's winter crew would be a difficult position. He thought he knew the danger--freezing temperatures, gale-force winds, and terribly spotty broadband coverage. What he didn't expect was for an experimental new telescope array to interact with an unusual storm and send him screaming helplessly into the sky.

Instead of falling to his death, Theo landed in an alien world, populated by colorful horses he can't understand. What's worse: the body he landed in isn't his own, and he's not sure anything is where it should be. Having wings might be cool if he didn't have to be naked all the time...

With limited supplies and no help from the Observatory, Theo has to somehow navigate this new land, making new friends and encountering terrible dangers along the way. It will take all his cleverness, and a healthy dose of luck, if he's ever to be human again.

A guy named Dante gets Administrator privileges on a Minecraft server and discovers a broken plugin while doing server development. The next day he wakes up in a curious new world with all his admin abilities. Will he make friends, or will the ponies fear his power? His appearance will change history. Whether the change is good or bad is up to him to decide.

I am going to do my best to implement some reader driven content, as non intrusively as possible.

If you DISLIKE the story please let me know why. Just a thumbs down doesn't help me improve my writing!

Life has a weird way of messing with you. You might get screwed here or there, out a job, maybe a stab in the back, nothing you can't get back from. Then there are those times. The times you can't get back from within your wildest dreams. And the universe couldn't cut me a break and make the impossibility simple. Nope, didn't get to stay human, didn't get the luxury of being transmorgified into a pony, griffon, or other, I didn't even end up as an already established pony within the candyland of Equestria!

Nope, for me, I wake up not as Pinkie Pie, but instead inside the mind of Pinkie Pie. Back on the rock farm when she was a filly. My name ain't that important anymore, but Pinkie's taken to calling me Mena. And it's gonna be a long, windy, freaky road ahead, ain't it?

9/19/2023: Overall grammar overhaul for existing chapters.

The forest was his new home.

From what he saw, he didn't belong in the town outside of his forest, but he also knew he didn't belong inside of it. His new hole filled legs and black body seemed to make sure he didn't fit in anywhere.

He had planned on trying to figure out what had happened to him without drawing attention, but when he saves three fillies from danger, he knew that his time to think about it was almost up.

The ponies would want answers.

He had none.

Today I did not wake up in a place I recognize. Not that I can remember how I got here. Where even is here? A castle of crystals in a magical world of pastel-colored talking horses. It's like a dream, only I'm also a wearied, mutant bug monster.

What in the world is a changeling? Oh, and what is that about a war we're apparently responsible for? This looks like it's shaping up to be a hell of a new day, at least, if I don't get squashed like a bug before it can even start.

After repeatedly stabbing a false king in the chest, somehow pulling out a scythe out of the fake kings chest like a magician with a hat and a rabbit and creating a bar that sells SNAKE BEER (beer made and brewed inside of a animated glass snake. Usually Popular with prankster gods) Dagmire fell down many staircases alongside his small basilisk friend and through the front door/window of his bar he somehow ends up smack dab in the middle of enter-for-death-forest. Now In Equestria he feels a strong pull to a strange castle in the distance. Maybe now he can finally find the one who cursed him with chaos in the first place...

Or he might play ragtime music in a massive fight. ITS CHAOS BABY NOTHING IS SAFE

(Note: If anyone is intrigued and wants to slap a displaced in my story for a few chapters just contact me and I’m sure we can work something out.)

Long ago, the Alicorn of Creation has created the world of many species. She wanted to create an exciting world of heroes and villains. Many years have passed and the inhabitants has molded into civilizations. Heroes and villains were born and many wars was fought, thus history tell the tales of these great heroes and villains, such as Starswirl, Nightmare Moon, Grogar, and many others. But after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, the era of villains was no more. Even after a thousand years has passed, the great evil of the past has downgraded. Nightmare Moon's return was not much of a threat and so was the Spirit of Chaos. The tyrant king Sombra did not do much, the Changelings' first assault failed and Tirek has been beaten a few hours after he regained power. Devastated by these villains, the creator herself has descended upon her world and create a school in the badlands for villains. She named her school F.A.U.S.T.

F.A.U.S.T.
Faust's Academy for Unique Super Tyrants will welcome all new and old villains, where they will be evaluated for their skills and knowledge in EQ (Evil Quotient). Here you will learn from each other and acquire new evil skills and tactics by the creator herself. Do you have what it takes to be a true villain?
