It’s the middle of the night and Luna’s got the munchies. Thankfully, Canterlot Castle just acquired a vending machine for such occasions.

What could possibly go wrong?

This was written for the Luna (is BEST Pone) Contest hosted by PixelMoon, based on the prompt: “Luna’s chips get stuck in a vending machine.”

(Update: 11/5/2017 - Major shout-out to Rock-Mint-Swirl who was incredibly nice enough to do a fanart for this story, which you can see right here. It contains story spoilers so please read the fanfic first though.)

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have dealt with all kinds of ponies having trouble finding their true calling in life, but none can compare to the special request they receive from Princess Twilight Sparkle herself, or the shock they receive on discovering who it is: Fizzlepop Berrytwist, possibly the most hated and feared pony in generations. Can a pony who's spent most of her life rejecting her true calling possibly find it now? Can the Cutie Mark Crusaders help a pony who almost everypony else in Equestria has rejected?

Movie Spoilers.

The Cakes have received a special commission: making some of the desserts for a global conference which will be hosted by the Diarchy themselves. As such, they're a little nervous about creating the right dish. And so after consulting a very old book, they're going to make something which nopony has seen (or smelled) for a very long time, a cake which requires one extremely special filling.

A very old book, the Princess, and a certain fruit.

Combine, then bake recipe for disaster for one day on low simmer.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

Ever since her return, Luna's been hesitant to return to the Dreamscape, believing that ponies don't need her entering their dreams anymore. Finally deciding to take a chance, Luna comes across what appears to be a nightmare. Within lies a boastful mare, completely astounding the audience with her performance. However, things change when the act is over when Luna catches a glimpse of the pony within.

Can Luna reach past this mare's boastful exterior? Can she find the truth behind the act?

Twice, they denied her a great victory. Twice, she was left humiliated and beaten by pony hooves. But if there's one lesson Queen Chrysalis surely learned, it was revenge. If there was a second, it was where to stick the dagger in a loving mother.

But there are some things even she can't foresee.

There is a flood on the horizon. Equestria's enemies have united, and the coming tide will not only change the course of history on one world, but two, and bring about a monumental meeting that will bring brothers and sisters from those two worlds together.

At long last, the downtrodden will rise.

The battle begins.

A sudden and powerful magical event consumes all of Ponyville in the space of a few moments, and when Twilight and her friends come to, they find the landscape around them quite different. And the world they discover, to be devoid of magic and inhabited by strange beings.

One of these beings is Asher Burgess, the oldest son of the family whose secluded, Colorado ranch has suddenly become the location of an entire town of alien creatures overnight. Their lives are changed forever as they find themselves the link between the ponies and their own nation.

Bewildered by this new world, things start getting more urgent as more of the Equestrian world arrives piece by piece, and not all of it is so friendly. Searching for answers, Asher, Twilight, and the rest of the gang stumble onto more questions, and uncover an amazing secret. One that could either save them all, or doom both worlds to annihilation.

(Set just after the events of season 3 finale. Diverges from there, movie has no effect.)

P.S. A request if you will: When someone gives a "dislike," would ya'll mind commenting why? Especially if it has something to do with a writing skill.

Following her tragic death by yet another villain of the week, Twilight Sparkle finds herself facing something all alicorns eventually uncover.

[Please click 'More' - a bit of explanation comes after the description!]

Some years ago, contact between Earth and Equestria was established, allowing for both humanity and ponykind to cross over to each others' worlds. Immediately, Princess Celestia tasked the Elements of Harmony with conducting outreach missions to Earth - to learn humanity's ways, culture, history, technology, and sciences.

During one particular avenue of study on Earth, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy cross paths with one Doctor Ian Malcolm; a man shrouded in mystery, revered but misunderstood by his peers. What comes to pass is a chain of events that the ponies get ever further dragged into - industrial espionage, acts of international secrecy, and governmental cover-ups.

Twilight and Fluttershy learn the ugly truth behind the string of lies on an island nobody has rightly heard of - and it is here that the pair find themselves fighting for survival against monsters that have been extinct for sixty five million years.

A/N (Please read!) - Hello! This is my first attempt at anything really really long. I've been working on this on-and-off for nearly three years now and, at the time of writing this, think I'm about three quarters of the way through.

This is a crossover with The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I'm borrowing from both novel and film canon - the story is dated in 1997 (so film canon) but with a bunch of events that occur in the novel. The first two chapters or so are fairly faithful to the novel - as faithful as a story about the characters from My Little Pony wandering about on Earth can be.

I will not be re-telling either the film or novel but with ponies inserted. I plan on borrowing events and scenes from film and novel canon to some extent - for instance, the first few chapters remain faithful to the novel - but the overarching plot is of my own design.

The characters in the story all feature in the novel but many of them have qualities of their film canon counterparts. I imagined Sarah Harding as Julianne Moore when writing this, and Ian Malcolm as Jeff Goldblum (Goldblum is the one true Ian Malcolm, praise be to him.)

(I don't think you'll have had to read the novel / watched the film to make heads or tails of this. Hopefully. Let's see.)

This is a very wordy story. I've sort-of tried to emulate Crichton's writing style a little bit here, so there's a lot of high-brow sciency and philosophical-type stuff in here. Chaos theory plays a big role, for instance, and I've done my best to understand it but science isn't what I'd call my forte.

If you are after a story where dinosaurs rampage from the get-go, this won't be your jam. Sorry. I'm all for ponies running for their lives from Tyrannosaurs, but I wanted to explore other themes too - the dinosaur-y bits, though important, serve to further the plot and themes.

There is swearing and there is some gore. Characters get annoyed with each other a lot in this one, because a lot of them make very idiotic decisions. As such, they swear at each other. Also, dinosaurs eat people. There's gonna be some blood and gore and violence, so yeah. Just warning you. Might up the rating a bit later if required.

Twilight isn't an Alicorn. I guess this is sorta AU in that respect. But no, she's still just a Unicorn!

That's enough from me, I think. Enjoy!

Rainbow Dash has decided to use her newfound powers for good, becoming the hero Supermare. However, there are still issues to deal with, ponies to save, and villains to face off against. All of this is a daily aspect to being the Mare of Steel.

This is a collection of side stories to Mare of Steel; I recomend reading that first before reading these
character tags will be added when needed
