Once upon a time, there was a young unicorn who was scarred and battered by the cruel world until he was forced to retreat behind the walls of a solitary life as a bitter and spiteful creature. As he grew up, he remained a lonely recluse, with only his best friend for occasional companionship.

Until one day when he found something the world had treated even more callously and cruel than himself. She was a changeling, badly wounded and crushed until she hung onto life by a slender thread. The only chance she had for surviving her injuries was love, but that was no chance at all, for she was a monster in pony society.

And who could ever love a beast.

Zevan was a loyal changeling and always did his queen's bidding, although he quietly questioned why changelings should end centuries of secret but peaceful intermingling with the pony population. After being expelled from Canterlot by the irresistible force of love and badly injured after crash-landing in trees, he had to reconsider his future. Ponies knew that changelings existed now, and the only example of them was Chrysalis' attempt to overthrow Celestia and their attack on Canterlot's population. His kind would be pariahs for the foreseeable future and maybe even their disguises would not keep them safe. A unicorn mare with a broken horn might do the trick though.

There is now a prequel to this story - Prelude To Change I suggest that you read that first.

Years before six brave mares faced off against a returned Nightmare Moon, a young mare by the name of Sauer Kraut lived on her family’s farm in the Mysterious South at the foot of Macintosh Hills.

Her biggest issues in life were the constant search for new challenges and projects as well as her family's unenthused reactions to them. But was it really her fault that nopony got the brilliance behind her ideas?

However, her entire life got turned upside down the day a patrol of the Southern Equestrian Legion shot down a mysterious creature flying right overhead.

This story is a sequel to Chrysalis Comes for Nightmare Night (Featuring Fluffle Puff)

After their return from Ponyville, Chrysalis just wants to relax and enjoy the company of her fluffy little pet. Of course, she soon realizes she won't be alone in that department since Big Sis has dropped by for a visit.

Featuring characters from FluffyMixer's Fluffle Puff Tales.

It's been three days since the Equestrian Railway Service incident, and things are finally calming down in the wake of the Dusk Guard's first mission. Three days since the team's first mission came to a successful conclusion. Three days since their first trial by fire. Three days since Sky Bolt, the team's engineer, had everything she'd created put to the test. And it all worked. Nothing went wrong.

So why can't she sleep?

Stalwart Drone has been a Night Guard for a little over two years, and now he's being reassigned to the Crystal Empire, forced to leave his home and his talent behind only to have to readjust to living up in the frozen north.

Ruby Swift, conversely, has been in Equestria for most of her life, and recently she's taken a... darker look on life.

Forced to live in the same house as one another, the unlikely duo are going to have to live with what they fear.
At least, for now anyway.

It's a not so average day on the field, when suddenly an unexplainable phenomenon occurs! Legends tell of the nine warriors, who will one day approach Equestria and save it from the powers of evil.

Only, the warriors don't want to help when they arrive because they were trying to enjoy a game of cards after a rather rough battle with an army of robots. They became the richest people on earth, and decided to finally settle down, when a large blast of magic sent them flying away.

Can the Elements of Harmony help them see the brighter sides of things? Or will they have to just accept the RED team's strange ways?

Cadence and Shining Armor visit one of their generals and his wife in the hospital to give their congratulations on the new born foal. However... the visit wasn't as routine as they first thought.

Based off ScopeEva's prompt/idea during a discussion. Told ya I'd put it on my to-do list.

This is TF Foundries, proud producer of things great and small. We offer cutting edge tools and materials for your everyday needs, such as pans, bats, chainsaws, shotguns, rifles, explosives, high explosives, chaotic-explosives, and our best known product, hired guns.

Thank you for visiting TF Foundries. Today, we are happy to present to you some of the most powerful persons Equestria has to offer. Let us Meet the Team.

And once again: Welcome. Welcome to TF Foundries.

Notes:
1) TF Foundries should be enough to let you figure out what crossover it is.
2) This was supposed to be a Meet the Team parody, until I accidentally gave it a disjointed plot. Expect the interviews to start getting stranger and stranger.
3) Cookie to whoever gets where I ripped the last line of the Description from.
4) Thanks for Aziraphael, _Medicshy, Skeeter_The_Lurker and Appletank for looking this over
5) Ponies are Hasbro's and Faust's, and other disclaimer thingies. Team Fortress 2 is Valve's and other disclaimer thingies.
6) Sorry for the image quality. Going to the source will make it look much better.
7) This is a Team Fortress Crossover

When Twilight loses control of her magic, she finds herself in the realm of the the eternally damned, Tartarus. In order to survive she is forced to learn and change. However, when Twilight finally escaped from Tartarus, how will Equestria deal with a Twilight who has been forged in hellfire?

Author's Note: I want to point out that the Dark and Gore tags are not all consuming. They are there only by necessity. There are going to be some dark material in here, but nothing grim.

On the same note, Twilight is the only anthro in the story, and there is an in-story reason for it, so don't let that big nasty Anthro tag scare you.

One final thing. It has been some time since I've done any real work on this story. To make clear how long, this portion of the author note was added July 5th, 2019. This story is currently sitting in that little area between "Hiatus" and "Cancelled". Time will tell if I revitalize it.
