This story is a sequel to Bed Bug

It was two months ago that you and Chrysalis struck a deal. Now, the two of you live together in your Ponyville home, under the condition that you share your love with the ex-queen while she... doesn't do villain stuff. You've grown quite close in that time, but despite getting her to slowly come out of her shell around you, she still refuses to leave the house.

So when you wake up one day to discover that she has contracted some sort of illness, it comes as a bit of a shock. She has apparently never been sick before, and you don't know enough about changelings to help her yourself. It seems like the only solution is to find somecreature who does.

However, the past is not so easily forgotten. How can you get help when the Changeling Kingdom wants nothing to do with her? When the wounds that she caused run so deep that even children bear their scars? When Chrysalis herself is so stubborn, so prideful, that she is unwilling to admit her fault in any of it?

When is a crime too terrible to forgive?

Rainbow Dash is widely known for her propensity for pranks. While seeing an unsuspecting Anonymous the human in the outskirts of Ponyville, Rainbow decides to hit him with classic from her arsenal, the ol' lightning stomp prank. It's simply really, she's played it on tons of ponies before.

Rainbow didn't think Anon would get hurt. She didn't think he'd become paralyzed. It was supposed to be a harmless prank!

'What have I done?!

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Sequel to Heaven's Gift

---------------------------------------------------
A bit of heads up, the prologue does not contain August and Twilight yet (it is reserved for the next chapter) but it does introduce the antagonists for the second arc.
---------------------------------------------------

There are many possibilities that could occur when a human is scientifically transported into the world of Equestria. He could discover and harvest the essence of magic and use it to perform miracles back on Earth. He could make a fortune selling exotic literally "out of this world" items to common folk. Even befriending royalty and becoming one wouldn't be an understatement for someone like him.

However, for August Winters, of all the possibilities that could have happened the moment he set foot in Equestria, it just had to be the one where he fell madly in love with an adorable purple unicorn-turned-alicorn. He had no regrets with his decisions, falling in love with Twilight Sparkle was the best thing that has ever happened in his life. And after finally reuniting with her after being separated for many years, he wished he the moments he spent with her would never end.

But life, as harsh as it seems, is never fair. There are always creatures lurking in the darkness, secrets waiting to be revealed, and most of all, ancient entities that are only a hair's breadth from reaching omnipotence.

For August, life seemed to have only begun after his night with Twilight. However, in reality, it had simply begun to end.

It all started with a flash, strange beings appearing from out of nowhere. No pony knew where they come from but the pain and anguish wreaked upon them told them that they had been through enough of an ordeal to not refuse their need for help.

Let’s just hope that they had made the right decision.

The Following is a Recount of Specific Additions to Fall of Equestria: Strange Chances and will recant all previously marked information from the story. They will be split into 3 chapters, which range from Tyranids, to The Caribou Empire, to Unaffiliated. There will be other categories added at a later date but for now you will be given these three. So enjoy, and have fun reading!

but more pressingly can she survive the deadly battle of Installation 04?

A surprise storm shatters reality for several hundred young college students. Follow the actions of the members of a small, but dedicated group of people as they strive, compromise, and sacrifice in the name of survival and hopefully, a nonviolence truce with those whose nation they have entered.

Lucid Storm imagines a world beyond death, where no pony will ever need to truly say goodbye to the ones they love. When all the magic and medicine of Equestria failed one young Sweetie Belle, he proposed a radical new technique--total brain recording, taken minutes before her death.

Years have passed since that day, years spent scrounging the funding for a body and experimenting with many failed machine intelligence models before tinkerer ponies all around equestria finally came together in the perfect synthesis.

After all this time, Sweetie Belle will finally have her second chance.
