Previously titled "Trust is not a Trivial Matter"

This story follows Alex Mathius as his life takes a drastic turn when he ends up in Equestria.
The inhabitants of this strange new world have no idea what he is, and that brings complications!

Accepting his fate, he tries to cope and continue on with his life in a world that's not his own.

However, it soon comes to light that his knowledge and understandings are of great value, involuntarily sending him into a spiral of political schemes and at the centre of an ancient struggle for power.

Can Equestria and the other countries of this new world handle the presence of an ambitious human being? And more importantly; will Alex be able to handle all that's been laid out for him, or do his wounds run too deep?

This is his story, his journey.

Important!

Trigger Warning: [OC's!]

The story goes at a slow pace, so take your time and get some coffee.

Even though there's a big [ADVENTURE] tag on this story, the first bunch of chapters are more drama-like, don't let this discourage you; this is the first story arc.
Hmm, a drama tag wouldn't be out of place on this site.

The [ALTERNATE UNIVERSE] tag is there to prevent the argument of a certain character seeming OOC.

Plus: I've only watched the show until the end of season three, so guess in what time span this story takes place. I also did not watch Equestria Girls, if that's relevant.

Furthermore I wish to mention that this is my very first piece of (fan)fiction I've ever written, so constructive criticism is very welcome indeed.

Blank Slate is the greatest thief of his generation. He has robbed countless nigh-impossible marks, and his talents as a master of disguise are beyond par - truly, nopony knows who he is.

And now he's preparing the greatest heist in mortal memory: the treasure vaults of the Princesses themselves.

But you have to get up pretty early in the morning to get one past the pony who defines when ‘early in the morning’ is…

I'm in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of orifices I didn't know I had. Why am I there? Why is Rainbow Dash sitting in the corner?

Why is she crying?

Celestia, the ever regal and gentle princess...

Celestia, who along her sister, rules over the land for eons...

Celestia, holder of unlimited knowledge and the power over the sun itself...

Is still a mare. And a very lonely mare.

She always wanted a foal to call her son, but she was a princess. Something desirable by many, approachable by none.
So what happens when Celestia finds a young colt?

Why she will adopt him of course. And she will love him forever.

Despite his cursing, senseless mumbling and apparent delirious mind.
Yes, she will love him, even if appearances can be deceiving...

Adam, the ever lazy and impulsive teen...

Adam, who wants nothing more than some peace and quiet, even if he's doing jack-shit to achieve anything...

Adam, holder of limited knowledge and power over his own laptop...

Is a pony. Or a colt, more precisely.

He was not always like that, though it doesn't change the fact that he is now. So, what will our human do in a foreign world, trapped in a foreign body?

Why he gets adopted of course.

And despite his cursing, senseless mumbling and apparent childish mind.
His adoptive 'Mother' will love him.

And why does her sister looks at him that way?

Side Story of: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Off the Record

After finding out a horrible secret concerning Rainbow Dash, Alex loses face, and makes the decision to run away back to earth, in hopes of recovering from the pain he had been caused, and so he could catch up with the family he had deserted four years before.

However, while studying to finally finish the high school he had skipped out on, he finds himself being dragged back to that magical pony world, and the pain it now represents to him.

The inner conflict boils down to a tug of war between his feelings, and his duties.

Also, it doesn't help that he has a jackass in his head that won't stop talking.

But, sometimes you need to smile through the pain, and think about the people that need you. Plain and simple.

Nothing is right.

Jake has no idea why he woke up as a pony mare in Equestria. He has no idea why he can't remember what he was doing before it happened, and he has no proof that his human life is even real to begin with. Just his memories. Memories he can't even trust any more, because even the Equestria that he's found himself in doesn't match what he remembers and everypony he meets think he's a unicorn by the name of Skitch-Sketch, who's been right at the side of the Element Bearers.

And then there's that creeping sense of dread. Feelings that he's run from for a long time. And the sensation that some other, deeper doom is bearing down on the planet Equis.

But surely the Mane Six can fix everything....right?

Starting story of the Skitchverse

Once upon a time, Spike went for a walk.

While on his walk, he was judged by an ancient alicorn, lodged with griffons, parlayed with air pirates, charmed a maiden of a mystical race, and dealt with the scourges of hate, fear, and racism while deliberately drawing the armies of myriad nations to the brink of global war.

Once upon a time, Spike went for a walk, and did all of this so that he could keep a promise to the one that meant the most to him... Twilight Sparkle.

In the first of three books, Pillars of the Sun (Chapters 1-15), Spike is devastated by Twilight's fate and grows more and more despondent as he attempts to understand what has happened to his dearest friend. A gentle nudge from a pony he trusts sends him looking for answers. When that nudge becomes a push he unravels ancient secrets... and risks losing himself before his attempt to rescue Twilight can even begin.

After her disappearance three months prior, Rarity finds her way back home. Of course, this raises several important questions. Where was she? What did she do? Why is she wearing bloodstained armour? And who is this "Wanderer" she traveled with?

With all life in his world at stake, a long-time Pokémon Master challenges the progenitor of the fateful prophecy that threatens it. The resulting outcome of that event throws him across realities where he'll find even more world-ending calamities ahead of him.

The life of our would-be hero is not an easy one. But alongside a special little Eevee and a group of kind ponies who are used to saving the day, he might just be able to redeem himself of the sacrifices he had to make in order to save his world.

His adventure has more in store for him than just redemption, however, as it'll prove to be the stepping stone he'll need to grow as a person. If he is to save anyone in the way he truly wants to, then he'll have to learn to rely on others.
