The global dust storm of a century, the dying message of an indomitable robot, and a unicorn who just can’t let go of a mystery.

(Now with a dramatic reading by Skijaramaz - Tone Shift.)
(Russian translation available at ponyfiction.org.)

Yesterday, Twilight Sparkle was hot in pursuit of dangerous stolen magic, her friends at her side and Ahuizotl in her sights. Today, she is imprisoned aboard a wondrous and horrifying city, hurtling through the empty void of space and surrounded by creatures and a world she barely comprehends and everything she thought she knew is upside-down - a world where a legion of ponies serve as seeming slaves.

Yesterday, Santana Guerro was finishing up an ordinary investigation - another day, another case, another synthetic assistant assigned to be by his side. Today, an ancient, living space probe from a lost world is in his office - the furthest possible thing from routine, and certain to be far from easy to close the case on.

Both of them need answers. Secrets are in play - secrets that others will kill to be the one keeping. But to find a way out, they’re going to have to understand each other.

This story is a sequel to Forged Anew

Twilight has earned the trust and loyalty of both Hesperos, a former Rubricae of the Thousand Sons, and Te'kan of the Salamanders. In the idyllic realm of Equestria, the need for such mighty warriors is nonexistant. However, outside Equestria's borders are lands wild and dangerous. Worse, the galaxy the astartes call home has not forgotten them. Together they face the final fate planned for them deep within the maelstrom of the warp.

A Warhammer 40,000 crossover.

I am a Displaced, sent here by the loathed Merchant. But something happened that doesn't normally happen in a Displaced. Say hi Martellus...
Greetings, I am Techmarine Martellus of the Blood Ravens 3rd company.
So now Martellus and I are stuck in Equestria with only my little sisters brony knowledge that she babbled at me to help us survive. I guess being a Space Marine doesn't hurt either...

This story is a sequel to From Dust

Twilight Sparkle is many things, but above all else, she is a friend. Her most recent acquaintance is, however, a most unusual sort.

Never before has Equestria played host to a traitor space marine of the Adeptus Astartes.

As an armor-bound soul with a body burned to naught but ash and dust, how will this former being of war fit into the love and harmony of the pony domains?

Surprisingly well, all things considered.

A Warhammer 40,000 crossover.

It is generally not intended for the Mechanicus to be the ones making first contact with a new race of Xenos. Brother Gentoo has the dubious honor of being stationed on Equus, for reasons that nobody can really explain, because the explanation was taken out back and shot by someone three or four links up the chain of command. Frankly, he's done this song and dance before. The Mechanicus are used to bending the rules a little to ensure that the Imperium's gears continue to turn.

This is how Brother Gentoo ended up being the one to make first contact with the inhabitants of Equus--a group of oddly-colored, unusually intelligent equines.

And then one of them asked him how lasguns work.

This story is a sequel to Friendship For Gearheads

Barron Secht, Archmagos Dominus, has done things which less flexible Imperial factions would call Heretical. He has adapted designs from Xeno tech-heresy, offered to negotiate with the unclean, and he's even gone so far as to cancel an Exterminatus--on the grounds that the very Machine Spirits themselves willed the ship's thrusters to quietly die.

He has spent the past two weeks attempting to understand a new kind of xeno--a race of quadrupedal sapients who have no knowledge of the Warp, or of War--but they have shown a capacity for learning and understanding beyond what the Imperium has ever reckoned with. The one called Twilight Sparkle recreated a lasgun design long thought lost. What other knowledge do they hold? Secht cannot afford to lose such valuable tech-lore.

Suffice to say, when he learned about the chaos god living on the edge of Ponyville, he was not thrilled.

Contains my best guesses at what Warhammer 40K canon is. Special thanks to Opponent, who wrote the comment that inspired this sequel, and who graciously loaned me his OC to play with. Also, shoutout to the WH40K wiki, and my buddy Tupo over in Estee's discord server, because dear Emperor this game's lore is dense.

Wet pavement hissed under her tires, and the Caterpillar engine rumbled happily in front of her. Her truck was happiest when it was moving. She was happiest when she was moving.

A story for the drive to Bronycon

Not long ago, Equestria received some rather...unique visitors. They call themselves Autobots. A harsh civil war that has lasted for eons has forced them to flee their dying home. Now they are refugees who simply wish to find a peaceful place to belong. Fortunately, they couldn't have found any place friendlier! Follow along if you wish, as the ponies show their extraterrestrial friends what their new home has to offer. Let's Roll Out!

This is a concept I've had ruminating in my head for a while now. I love both Transformers and MLP, and have had countless thoughts about what it would be like if these two fascinating universes were to meet. This will be a series of short one-off, slice-of-life type stories. The Autobots will be based almost exclusively off of their portrayals in the original Generation 1 cartoon and the High Moon games. (War for Cybertron & Fall of Cybertron)

I welcome any and all feedback, as I want this to be an enjoyable read for y'all. If you have any ideas for potential setups or events you'd like to see happen, feel free to share them in the comments!

This story is a sequel to WHAT I'VE DONE

Equestria, the birthplace of not just the ponykind, but so many other races, as well. All these species are very much like our own, capable of both great compassion and great violence.

The story takes place during the events in the MLP: FiM episode, Princess Spike. Both MLP and Transformers are owned by Hasbro.
