This was unexpected. I woke up on a normal day. A boring normal day.

Well, I guess I can't say boring anymore...

This is part of the Pony Earth Verse

This is the original version of the first story I've ever written, over the course of three months as a brand new writer in late 2014.

I'm including these chapters here as a record of how the story looked when it began. This was the prototype for what would, over many years, become Black Feather. The story has gone through multiple complete rewrites, but this was the initial version. Enjoy reading my clumsy first steps into the world of writing!

Note: I will make the chapters visible again after Black Feather is published to avoid spoilers.

Special thanks to onlyanorthernsong for encouraging me to write this and helping to envision Pen Stroke's Nyx as an adult.
Extra thanks to Pen Stroke for permission to write the adult version of his character Nyx.

After a historic agreement, the border between Arstotzka and Equestria will open, allowing the citizens of these two parallel universe to travel from one world to another.

Will these two words be able to coexist?

And above all...

How much can the events be influenced by the decisions of a simple checkpoint's Inspector?

This will be a crossover between "Papers, Please", a game developed some years ago, and "my little pony"

- Story developed with the HUGE contribution of VocareAdVacui (Prologue, chapters 1-2) and Jay Tarrant (chapters 2+) as proofreaders.

[N.B.] TAGS could change as the story progress.
Added "Violence" TAG for the presence of minor violence scenes.
References to "Alcohol" and "Cigarettes".

It is a lesson we all learn early; life is unfair. Oftentimes life gives little to nothing back to reward those who make it through her trials, but that does not keep the strong from hoping.

When life itself hangs in the balance, we realize just how precious it is, and it can help us to realize that which we have overlooked many times before.

Rated T for language, use of alcohol, and suggestive situations.

All characters are humanized.

Story is inspired by johnjoseco's art, "Oh AJ..."

An alternate timeline event to the original story , A New World A New Way, in which the ponies and other races of Equus are sent to Earth.
The princesses will have their work cut out for them when the humans discover the new pokemon and what they can do.
Can the power of friendship push through the barriers between pokemon and humans?
Find the balance.

When Twilight feels a powerful pull on her heart she follows it, and the rest of the Mane six follows her.
When they arrive at a magic circle they are all teleported to earth straight into one unsuspecting soldier's barracks room.
Equestria is in danger from a force unlike any they have fought before. They must gain allies if they want Equestria to survive the coming onslaught

Equestria is a land where magic runs free, from powerful spells to the growth of a single flower, it is omnipresent.
When a magical force of unprecedented magnitude is unleashed, guests from unknown origins are pulled in.
Will they be grateful for a chance to live in Paradise, or will they resent the lack of choice, taken away by friendship.

When people you love are on the line, what would you do to help them? Even if getting help cost you your humanity?

Keith Hoard now has to deal with the consequences of such a choice. Prehaps, his new family will make the adjustment easier for him?

This is a TF/TG idea I've had for a bit of time and simply wanted to put to paper just to get it out of my head.

Tags will be adjusted as needed.

Cover art is a picture drawn by AskBubbleLee on deviantart. She's a lovely artist. Go follow her or something!

“I did my obligation. And now my son must complete his. But not in the world we are from. Here, he must do what others will fail. I have no fear in him failing this task that not even gods could succeed in, I fear what he will lose at the end of the road. Friends, family, love?"

"But I will succeed. War, death, life, family... nothing will stop me from saving everything. Its what I must do, because only I can. Everything is in this gamble. Lose it all, or lose a little to save everything else! But what will I lose?"

This is a cross over of the Assassin's Creed games (if you couldn't tell). And is based after the (Connor's, not Desmond's) events in Assassin's Creed 3.

Any ANYTHING that's in this story that I did not create belongs to their rightful owners and creators. This is a fanfic for entertainment of others and myself in writing. NOT TO MAKE PROFIT!

Cover art done by me. (Wish I did a better with the lines though. Still, some cover art is better then none.)

Special thanks to Fat1thatyoulove for being my proof reader/editor. (Chapter 4 - )

Also. I'm a novice writer. I have no plans on making this a major part of my life. I like coming up with stories, which is why I'm wright this.

Enjoy!

Due to a rather unfortunate stroke of bad luck, a Blacklight Agent by the codename of "Deadman" has managed to get dumped into Equestria, with nothing to guide him but his training and what he learned in the field fighting The Order and SIVs in this new land.

Can he accept that this land is not in need of a remorseless killing machine like home was? Can the ponies accept a warrior soaked in the blood of nations as a person, and not just another monster in their land of black and white?

Perhaps only time will tell.

Knowledge of the universe is not required, and the story is currently undergoing editing in some of the chapters to correct my past mistakes.
