This is a direct side-story spinoff to "A Twist in the Tail".

Edge used to be human. She used to be a man. Then one day, she was foolish enough to break into a Conversion Bureau to steal some Potion. Believing it all to be a plot to 'scoop out the brains of humans', he downs it. She wakes up as a pegasus pony with an audience with the princesses...

For her crimes, she is sentenced to community service.

This won't end well ;)

Magical mishaps, moral dilemmas, and multiple contusions -- normal ponies don't have to deal with these things. Too bad Lyle Hartston isn't a "normal" pony. From the normal life of a human to an exciting and hectic life of a pony, Lyle's life is flipped upside down. Things can only get stranger for this brony when he wakes up in Equestria. More surprises await for him as he comes to meet a certain pony by the name of Lyra Heartstrings.

All songs belong to their respective artists.

I still have old original chapters in html format on mediafire. (Warning: poorer quality)

(Inspired by Foal Necromancer. I do not forget or deny when I am inspired by something)(Human tag is for the first chapter)

I am Adone Federo. I am a mafia don in the city of Los Angeles. I was once the most powerful man there, but...fate decided otherwise for me. I do not mind. I was enforced this duty after my father was imprisoned. Having to take on so many things at once is not an easy task, especially when you must uphold your home country's customs when you never lived there, and keep your family name implanted within the foundations of fear. I only hope that my cold body means that I will finally be able to rest like I have always wanted: with the fishes in the calm sea...or is there something else that I might see?

Have you ever woken up somewhere you don't recognize? I have, once before. This time was not all that different. Headache? Check. Dry mouth? Check. Upset stomach? Check. Hooves? Uhm, that one is new.

Hi, I'm Bruce and I'm 32. Currently, I'm in a light blue Earth Pony foal's body no one has ever seen before. The rest of Equestria thinks I'm 9 and something really traumatic happened to me. It doesn't help I swear like a sailor and I could really go for a smoke right about now. I just hope that the Everfree Forest, rampaging monstrosities, evil dark abominations against God and the Cutie Mark Crusaders don't kill me before I have just one last drag.

Oh, and ponies are hella creepy when you really think about it. Geez.

A little comedy side project. EDIT: HAHA Main project. More characters to be added if I get that far. Categories might be refined as I write. Entire thing is unplanned except vaguely. Don't Expect excessive cursing to be written out, just hinted at. Oh, and as the character is a 30-ish year old in the body of a 9 year old, sexual jokes might exists but sex itself will not occur.

Special thanks to user Momomojito for the awesome-tastic picture! First fanart, I'm so HAPPY. I've gotten more since then! I should collect it all here. Collected!

Derry has gone through quite alot. He was turned into his doll, turned insane by Discord, manipulated by his Giga Sparkle into bearing a child, and having to deal with the pure essence of going through the birth process...and not getting any sleep for three months after. However, he has always doubted the authenticity of his Giga Sparkle's source of insanity. There's something suspicious about an "astral alignment" that just doesn't click in his mind.
As he thinks of this once more, he stands in front of his mirror. His reflection looks back, and this is where the most dangerous of his opponents will appear; himself.

Extra tags: Sad (because I'm very capable of mixing sad and comedy)

This isn't where I belong. I left all this behind years ago, moved on with my life. But a mare from my past brought me back, and now she won't let me go. So I'm stuck here, trying to make the best of it with ponies that don't understand me, don't even like me. But when something moves in the darkness, and when things go wrong in the cold, dead night, they'll turn to me to try to set things right.

Why? Because once a police pony, always a police pony.

This is a spin-off story to 'Why am I Pinkie Pie?!', and will contain spoilers for that story, but it's not necessary to read that story to understand this one.

There is now a side-story: A Hard Day's Nightmare Night

Have you ever had a dream that just seemed so real, that it was impossible to say for certain that it was even a dream at all? A dream that, despite all of its impossibilities, seemed to re-write your entire perception of reality, re-writing your sense of what—and indeed, who—you are? Accepting change is hard enough as it is. But when you're a somebody who wakes up as a somepony, how do you cope with the impact such a drastic change has on your mind and body? With changes like these, it must surely just be a lucid dream—albeit a suspiciously accurate one—just brimming with potential and ripe for exploration. So you might as well suck it up and make the most of these distressingly…unusual circumstances, and seize this psychological adventure before you wake up and the dream ends.
After all, this couldn't possibly be real, so the dream must come to an end eventually…right?

The definition of tolerance is simple: A fair, objective, and permissive attitude towards those whom are different than those around them. So what happens when a portion of the world's populace is changed by a strange anomaly once thought to be benign and harmless? Can the world tolerate more differences, with the mess it already has?

A/N: I know the rating says "Everyone", but it leans more towards Teen for vague sexual references and mild language. Oh, and with the ideas I currently have in story, that is definitely going to change. Probably to Mature.

Everyone is familiar with the "waking up as a pony" trope, but no one expected this particular trope to occur in reality. Especially the 'pony' in this picture, who life gets more complicated then before. It will be a cumulative effort to adjust to this lifestyle, but surmounting this transformation is the only beneficial option.This story varies from mundane to supernatural carnage.

(Proof read by HoloGraphic starting from chapter 12-17)

When a human, is mysteriously sucked into Equestria following his tragic death, he discovers a world of beauty, happiness, and magic. Transformed into a mare, and exposed to this new world that she was no connection to, she begins to learn what friendship is. But the ponies begin to reject her once strange things begin to happen in Equestria, and she embarks on a magical journey with her new friends to put an end to the evils that are penetrating the once peaceful world.

I would really appreciate feedback, support, and some thumbs! Thank you!
