Cooper Cortez, hardware design lead in charge of designing the “Next-Gen” processors for Mintel is suddenly whisked off to Equestria. Confronted with a new body he never wanted, and the host of problems that come with said body, he must put the human within forward and adapt to the strange situation he has found himself in.

A whole new world, social structure, and way of life are only a few of the changes he suddenly finds himself forced to endure. With his skills being primarily technological, how will he find his way in this new world which is seemingly stuck in the 1800's?

Of course, as if simply finding his way through a new world wasn't hard enough; when Cooper stumbles across a long lost journal, he will unwittingly tie himself into a rebellion—the likes of which haven't been seen for near a thousand years...

Twilight was living happily with her friends, but until Sombra tries to unleash the darkness within her. Little did both of them know an lurking evil was hidden right under their noses. After all they've been through, they should know how to bow down to their tyrant, right?

And Mystia is the perfect fit for that.

You know that moment when you just meet... that pony? The one who you have the instant chemistry with, and you can just tell that you're meant to complete each other's hearts?

Shining Armor felt that when he met Chrysalis at a park in Canterlot. Granted, she was disguised as Fleur de Lis, but that wasn't the point. He was attracted to her, be it by her looks, or her regal demeanor, and that's really all that matters.

Slowly, they fell in love, even after Chrysalis revealed her true form to the white unicorn. They're begining to imagine an entire life with each other, growing old together.

First, though, Chrysalis must meet Shining's parents.

After being attacked by a strange being in the dead of night, a young unicorn mare named Page-Turner finds herself transformed into a loathsome, terrifying creature with an uncontrollable need to drink the blood of others through horrific means. Frightened by her sudden change in both body and nature, she flees from pony society but tries her hardest to remain a part of it in the process.

As her attempts to cope and adapt to her new lifestyle sour and wither with every passing day, she finds herself being hunted by those that wish to see her destroyed. With little choice to begin with, the only goal to dominate her mind soon becomes survival.

"It's 4 PM and the moon is still in the sky."

That's how it all begins. With a single line spoken into a tape recorder by a very confused and scared dragon. But that's not even half of it.

Ponies start disappearing. Spike hears strange noises all through the day. He tries to contact the princesses, but the rest of Equestria seems to have gone dark.

All Spike has is an old tape recorder and a box of blank tapes he found in the basement. At least he feels safe within the walls of the library. But just how long will that last?

Dusk Shine is Twilight Sparkle's twin brother. They have a lot of things in common, love of magic, love of books, neurosis, but they also have some key differences, and not just what's between their hindlegs.

For my first new story in three years (not that I was updating the other ones) I want to try something a bit simple but with loads of possibilities. While I will be following the order of episodes of the show and going through most, if not all, of them, I promise they will be trans-formative and not simple retrots of the episodes with another purple horse hanging around.

I've often heard it said that Equestria would not survive with two Twilights running around. That just may be the case.

Queen Chrysalis, over the course of a war she wishes never happened, has learned regret. While some would say that it is never too late to change, the Queen believes that her fate has long been decided, and that Death has come knocking on her door. Imprisoned within Canterlot she waits out what may be her final days.

For most fillies and colts, the most challenging obstacle is getting their cutie marks. But unlike them, Blazey Sketch has others things to deal with along the way.

The anxiety-filled nine-year-old suffers more than just being a blank flank. Trying to figure out who she wants to be, suffering with the nightmares she’s been having, childhood traumas she’s getting from her father’s abuse. The list goes on. All she wants, is for everypony to like her for who she is, but she hasn't quite figured that out yet. Will her cutiemark show her a way out of this dreadful life or perhaps will it be something she would never dream of?

Based on Letters from an Irritated Princess by Tired Old Man, written in the same format, with the same sort of thing going on more or less, but, with said letters written by the Evil Empress, Daybreaker herself, instead of her goody-goody counterpart. Permission for this was given to me by Tired Old Man himself!

Ah, letters. To some, letters are a means for friendly, long distance communication. To others, they are a way of informing you that you are late on your monthly payment. But, for Empress Daybreaker? Well, they're a way of expressing displeasure, annoyance, evil amusement, ransom demands, and other things.

Basically, they're for making her subjects twitch in fear. Lots of fear. Whether it be of her wrath, or the horrors her evil mischieviousness will bring to her subjects.

In the far reaches of Canterlot Castle, high above in the towers lived the archmage. Everypony knew her, yet few had met her.

Twilight Sparkle sighed, having teleported away another noble seeking favors before reaching the top of the stairs for the second time today. They never learned. As the archmage, she already dealt with political squabbles far too often without inviting them into her home. Aside from personal favors for Celestia, she did what was required of her position and then returned to seclusion and research.

The nobility grumbled that no archmage should be a commoner, and Twilight’s disrespect toward them proved it. Each and every time they were forced to bow to her, they hated what they saw: the position, the status, the deference.

Was she not powerful? Was she not great?

Twilight, now reading through dusty scrolls and long forgotten tales, wrote in her notes — notes gathering dust of their own. A brief thought flashed through her mind.

Am I not powerful? Am I not great?

And then Twilight picked up The Tale of the Royal Pony Sisters.

Defunct side stories told in Across the Boundary. They can still provide a little context, but when in doubt, the main story here is canon.
