The people of Equestria and Gaia may have a lot in common with each other, but when one world is populated by ponies that possess the gift of magic while the other has bipedal creatures that don’t, there are bound to be some differences.

They will have different traditions, different values, different beliefs, and different celebrations.

Of course, harmony and friendship is all about embracing the things that make people unique, and if there is going to be harmony between these two very different worlds, it is important for everyone to understand these differences.

Fortunately, there are a couple of girls who are very eager to learn.

A collection of short stories that take place in the same setting as my Harmony and Valor series, but are not part of its official canon.

It was supposed to be a simple task: drop Cerberus off at the Gates of Tartarus, the prison doors for Equestria's greatest and most terrible monsters. Little did Twilight know it was host to an entirely different prison: the SCP Foundation.

Twilight is enthralled with the sheer amount of knowledge and power the Foundation contains. They are likewise willing to bring her on board. After all, who can stop a black ops facility that doesn't officially exist?

Celestia, if she has any say in the matter, and she promised there would be hell to pay if the Foundation harmed her student.

My name is Karn, it's been over one-thousand years since I became a Tenno.

I've faced all sorts of horrors and challenges.
The grineer, a race of clones, seeking out others to stabilize their own DNA and hating anything or anyone not like them.
The corpus, a conglomeration of commercial and industrial interests, they acquire Orokin technologies and warframes to trade and sell using any means necessary.
The Infested, an ancient plague created by the Orokin to combat the 'Sentients' but has spread throughout the system.

Me and the new Tenno Greavus who uses the new Nekros warframe were sent to assassinate a grineer general, but Greavus struck a deal with the grineer and left me within the ship while the grineer tried to take my warframe for experimenting. Long story short, they failed.

I barely managed to escape to the void in an attempt to take down Greavus, but my Orbiter and Liset are damaged during flight.

My Orbiter exits the void right above a bright planet. With its engines down, the ship crashes right into a city on a mountain during an invasion.

I arm myself and leave the Orbiter, but for the first time in centuries, I'm not prepared for what greeted me... Small colourful equines.

Two worlds, two peoples, two varying ways of life. For Equestria and its people, peace has been a staple of life for generations under the watchful eyes of their alicorn protectors. Resources and necessities for life are abundant, and the few times it has been threatened by external foes have ended in an Equestrian victory.

For mankind however, life is a brutal battle for survival in the war-torn hellscape of nuclear devastation. Violence and survival have been a mainstay for the last three decades, and only recently has a coalition tried to reestablish civilization. But the Earth is dying, and this last bastion of humanity only number around 50,000. For man, doom seems inevitable.

One day, two men accidentally discover something that will change the fates of both worlds forever. One man will discover Equestria and its prosperity, coming into contact with the very best Equestria has to offer. He will be shown kindness, and in turn, he will teach them understanding.

Regardless, the rest of Equestria will come to fear what they do not understand and after a tragedy costs humanity's good will, mankind will be left no choice but to invade in the name of survival. A sad tale, but one that history has repeated on numerous occasions. In the end, it will be up to a handful of individuals on both sides to find a solution and bring an end to the conflict. Will these two worlds come to terms and learn to coexist, or will one species be eradicated by the other?

Immortality. It's said to be the ultimate achievement. The negation of the one true hinderance to all forms of life, the binding and unifying factor that every mortal being shares. Those who are without it, wish for it. Yet those who have it... They wish it gone. For while eternal life stands as a tribute to an infinite amount of triumphs, it harbours one simple truth. Immortality isn't living forever, it's everyone you love vanishing around you.

For some this is of little concern, for they are without the bonds of friendship and affection. Why worry about the longevity of loved ones that don't exist? Others fight to keep those they care about alive, betraying all reason in the name of a struggle against the cosmic rule of entropy. Many simply retreat from sight, becoming recluse, hidden and forgotten. Yet the last archetype, they do nothing of the sort, for they have not yet exceeded their mortal lives. They are determined, free from the strife of a million year existence. These beings turn desperation into action, travesty into opportunity. Darkness, into light.

When all seems lost, all it takes is one final effort, a stand against impossible odds. And that's what guardians are best at, isn't it?

If large scale crossovers aren't really your thing then I'd advised you to read no further into this story. This is a Destiny/Halo/Mlp crossover, the lore of each universe will be changed to fit the flow of the story. Some changes may be small but many are rather large. Prior knowledge of each universe is very much recommended, although I will try my best to write it in a way that is enjoyable for everyone. As it stands this is also my first fan-fiction, so constructive criticism is not only welcome but encouraged. Any ideas regarding changes or upcoming chapters are also welcome. Thanks.

Another note, this interpretation of the Destiny universe will not take into account any of the events following on from the original game. If this causes anyone to lose interest I fully understand. Just thought I'd let you know what you're getting into.

Final note from 5 years after the original publishing of this story, I recently put this back up after a period of 2 years unpublished because I recieved requests from people wanting to read it again. I don't plan to continue this version of this story, however if in the future I find myself with more free time, I may make an attempt at rewriting it, bringing it into the modern era if you will. Until that potential day, I hope you enjoy this wild trip back to 2016.

This story is a sequel to I Can Count On You

Ember, Lord of all Dragons, has been presented with a problem that has forced her to seek the help of her best and closest friend.

Now that Spike has arrived all she needs to tell him is her problem. An ancient law, one that no Dragon Lord can object against, has come into effect.

What's that problem? She is to be bonded with the winner of a special tournament as life-mates.

Additional tag: Action.

*If you are feeling generous you can buy me a Ko-Fi!!

*This fic will deal with a lot of fighting, but it shall not be gore related, and the blood will be kept to a minimum.*

**This is my first attempt at writing something based almost purely on fighting/combat in a tournament-like scenario.**

My name is Twilight Sprinkle, and my passion is donuts—from the delicate morsels I serve at elegant cocktail parties to the hearty pastries enjoyed by hard-working ponies who get up early. I don’t have friends, I don’t have books, and I sure as the sun don’t have any wings. I don’t care whether you’re here for revenge, for romance, or for a favor. My name is Twilight Sprinkle and I’m not who you think I am, so either buy a donut or get the hay out of my store!

Nopony has heard from Fluttershy for three months. Not Rainbow Dash, not Rarity, not even Pinkie Pie. Her friends have been tending to the cottage and her animals, keeping it clean and organized, but even with Twilight's constant magic scans and a semi-constant guard search Equestria-wide, no hint has been found of where she went, how she vanished, or why she didn't tell anyone. Some ponies even think, in their darkest nightmares, that she might be dead.

Then she shows up one day, very definitely not dead, but just as definitely not the same as she was.

And does she have a story to tell. Boy, does she ever...
