Have you ever though it's strange how the rainbow light of the elements of harmony just made a pony good? What if they actually just initiated a process to help the pony help herself?

One late night as Celestia and Twilight study together, Twilight discovers Celestia is ticklish. Will she use this knowledge for good or evil?
Evil. Definitely evil.

In the aftermath of a huge explosion in the Everfree Forest, Ponyville soon finds itself as the new home for Lucario, an "Aura Pokemon" from another dimension. While he avoids explaining what has happened to him and where he came from, he repays his new friends' kindness by protecting them from the evil forces that suddenly appears around Equestria.

Meanwhile, a certain princess of the night watches his every move, unable to judge if this new visitor will bring safety or utter destruction upon the land.

(This story primarily takes place between season 2 and season 3. Elements from season 3 and beyond may occur, but won't have a significant impact on the plot.)

Shortly after Tirek's defeat, Celestia chooses to descend back into the depths of Tartarus to have a few choice...words, with the one being who's sole job is to prevent escapes like that of the mad centaurs'. With questions unanswered plaguing her, she decides the only way to silence her fears are to go to its source. To speak to the jailer of Tartarus.

While few know his name and fewer know what he exactly is, many call him by what he does. He is simply, The Warden.

Trigger Warnings: Displaced, Slightly OOC Celestia.

Celestia receives a letter from Twilight, the first in a long time.

A letter about the Cutie Mark Crusaders and how Twilight has changed since her arrival in Ponyville.

It makes a seemingly solitary Celestia think...

Nightmare Night has quickly become Luna's most favorite holiday, but after last year's disastrous dinner party, Celestia has forbidden her from playing pranks on the guests.

Unfortunately for her sister, Luna loves this night far too much to give up her pranks, and if she can't prank the guests, then she'll just have to make do with the hostess.

Carter Slade, the first ever Ghost Rider to turn on Mephistopheles, in his last time on earth fades away. His next moments on this new world he came to is riding to a sort of desert town and getting slammed off of his horse by a pony that calls itself 'Braeburn'.

Link has done many things in his life all at a very young age. He defeated hordes of monsters, traveled through time and into another world, and defeated two beings with powers equal to gods. Yet throughout all this he never lived a normal life.

While on a search for a friend who had left him long ago he is sucked in by a portal and teleported into the land of Equestria. When he awakens in this new land all of his memories of his life are gone. When the Elements of Harmony realize that he has no where to go one volunteers to take care of him until he can remember who he is.

The elements aren't the only ones who will try and get his memory back. They will get help from both a mystical being with wings and the dead to help the hero remember who he was. They better be quick though a evil unlike any other Equestria has ever seen is rising. And it wants the dead body of Link and it will do whatever it takes to make sure it happens.

My entry in the Super Smash Ponies Writing Contest #1

Cover art belongs to Art-Anon all credit goes to him

SF (canon species only; no humans) Ponies were magically and genetically engineered to be the perfect servitor race. They are powerful, adaptable, intelligent and completely under the control of their creators. A laboratory accident frees one such pony from her mental chains, but how can one mare save herself and the rest of her kind if she doesn't even know she's a slave?
This is not the Equestria you know and these are not your little ponies... not yet, anyway.

Russian translation (partial -- 'unofficially' completed in the comments)
A Soot-Covered World, book 1.

A clerical error in the Registry of Mortals sends an unwitting human to a strange land. It wouldn't be so bad, if the ponies there weren't out for his blood.

Literally.

A little twist on the myth that unicorns were hunted for their fantastical powers.
