Poor Spike, all he wanted to do is spend time near the pony he adores. Now, because of one little lie, he's in real trouble. A geography bee, a macabre doppelgänger, and an icebox all play their part as Spike and Rarity once again find themselves on pins and needles...

Twilight Sparkle broke time when she got her cutie mark. Now Twilight and Sparkle are sisters from another time. Twilight is hailed as the potentially greatest light magician of all time, and already has a reputation as a hero by the time she goes to Ponyville. This isn't her story, not primarily.

Sparkle is an orphan - her dark magic killed her parents. She lives with her brother in Canterlot's industrial sector because they can't afford anything better. She can't leave either. She's a natural dark mage; while Sparkle won't go mad like Sombra, her reputation is hardly any better. Worse, the law doesn't see her as a good pony.

The fact that the dead don't stay dead around her, or that Thorn - Spike's double - is an undead, soul-eating abomination, are other matters altogether.

(Also has some Slice-of-Life, but fimfiction tags won't let me put it with Adventure.)

Has an ask blog to go with it: Ask Sparkle and Thorn.
Also has a TvTropes page: Split Second Tropes.

Spike led Thorax into the throne room of the Crystal Castle confident he could convince the others that the changeling could be trusted. That he meant no harm, and instead wanted to be an ally and live peacefully with them. That he could make them see Thorax for what he really was. That they could befriend the changeling and accept him as one of their own.

They didn't.

And consequences followed.

Pincer is a changeling, a proud soldier of Queen Chrysalis. After the failed invasion of Canterlot, he finds himself trapped and at the mercy of Princess Celestia's Royal Guard. Believing that Celestia sees his species as nothing but soulless monsters, he prepares himself for the worst. The weeks crawl by, marked by an endless series of questions he will not answer for fear of endangering his friends and family at The Hive. As his nerves wear down and his interrogators learn just how ruthless he thinks they are, they have nothing to report but his belief that they will kill and destroy his kind without mercy.

Celestia steps in to prove him wrong, and what Pincer learns leaves him questioning everything he has ever known — but also gives him hope for what he'd never thought possible.

Now with a TVTropes page.

Anonmopolise, a human sucked into the cartoonish world of Equestria, embarks on a personal adventure to understand friendships, albeit forcefully, by the cute and colourful ponies of this world. Aided by a spiritual guide named Cermina created by his own imagination, he sets about trying to understand why he was sent here and, if possible, how to get home.

After his first encounters with a certain pink pony, he is eventually put under the care and employment of Applejack who has him working the night shift at the orchard farm she runs.

His time in this strange and magical place becomes a bit.... problematic as the Princess of the Night takes an interest in Anon's nocturnal capabilities. Soon enough, he is thrown into a deep internal conflict residing within the capital city of Canterlot and eventually goes about becoming something more than he ever thought possible.

However, when an evil rises from the darkness and threatens to cast its shadow over the land, Anon and his new friends must stand firm against foes from outside...and within.

Tristan, a young man in college, has lead a perfectly normal life with a good best friend, good parents, and generally favorable prospects. However, he's fated to have all that torn away as he falls through a strange rift to an alien land filled with unknown dangers. Now instead of worrying about his next exam he finds himself forced to worry about his next meal as he struggles to survive in this new environment that makes less and less sense as he forges on.

A fan of FiM wakes up in Equestria with only his boxers, a comforter, and a pillow. Is it a lucid dream or something more? He soon finds that things aren't as simple as expected and is thrown into a fight with his own sanity.

((The story is undergoing an overhaul. Please excuse the mess as I fail spectacularly at writing a story no one remembers to make myself feel better.))

This story is a sequel to Equestrian Life

Dex is the only human of the Solar Guard of Equestria. Since being knighted, he's been taking it easy: finding his calling, training, and doing small jobs for Celestia. But the peace won't last long; Chaos has other plans.

Sequel to Equestrian Life. If I play my cards right, reading the previous story won't be necessary.

If you were given the chance to go to Equestria, would you take? I sure did, unfortunately for me I had no idea what I was getting into or how my presence would affect everything. Now Equestria is going crazy and only myself and a rag-tag group of new friends can stop the events. But if we do win and Equestria goes back to normal, how will I get home?

Dan wakes up to something he thought couldn't possibly happen. He's in Equestria. He doesn't know how long he is going to be here for or if there may be some greater purpose for him. All he does know is that he woke up in a tree and fell out of said tree and that even in Equestria it still hurts...oh and the ponies are still adorable.
Who knows? maybe this will turn into a bigger adventure with romance and comedy and stuff...as long as he doesn't do anything too stupid first.
With references, comedy, romance, heartbreak, anger, sadness, giant monsters, and kickass music i give you Dan's story of ADVENTURE!!!
