A slightly more realistic take on the "Human in Equestria" story concept.

... For a given value of "realistic."

Okay, it's barely realistic but it is a hell of a lot of fun...

Now with an image graciously provided by Page Turner, and an audiobook version narrated by multifanficaday and if you prefer it in German, FrankyDoodle has got you covered!

And a TVTropes Page!

When a Necromancer is hurled into the place between places then escapes to another world at the cost of his life it is not the end. Being a Necromancer he returns to life with ease, but is skirting the edges of consciousness, and unable to truly wake as a mysterious figure uses magic to put him on the back of a horse to carry him away into the night.

To make matters worse the phylactery he used to save his own life recreated him as a member of the dominant race with... some errors. His injuries are still present and he's now in a much smaller body with his magic drained to nothingness.

So now he's horribly injured, held captive by an unknown force, in an unfamiliar body, in an unfamiliar world and completely exhausted. He's had worse days. He just can't think of any off the top of his head. So familiar territory then, nothing to worry about.

(Thank you again Tulip for the amazing piece of artwork.)

On Hiatus due to Life. Sorry.

This is the story of Sour Grapes, a literate, snarky, anti-social unicorn who lives on a Vineyard close to Sweet Apple Acres. Her life, times, interactions with various cast members, and eventually falling head-over-hooves for someone.

Alternate Universe, because this was started well before the whole: "All three seasons happened in one year" thing. Honestly I don't believe that all of that could have happened in the course of a single year, anyway. Though it would explain how the ponies be crazy, sometimes.

After Chrysalis failed to conquer Equestria, she was shamefully stripped of her title of "Queen of the Changelings".

Their people now leaderless, the Changeling race now finds itself in a unique situation. In the struggle for power, one Changeling seizes the attention of his people. Can he overcome his nature, and the nature of his people, to lead them into a better future?

For Derpy Hooves, it seems like every day gets worse than before. Her whole life she has been seen as nothing but a rolling disaster. She's seen as a clueless, quirky, messed up pony, simply due to her walleyed disability. How can she possibly hope to erase the stereotypes she was assigned? For Derpy, it's impossible.

Impossible, that is, until she chances into a certain purple unicorn. Will this meeting be yet another failure, or could it be the opportunity she's been looking for, and how could that opportunity affect her life?

I'd like to thank slip_stitch for being both an editor and a proofreader for me. Without her help, this story would literally be one giant punctuation error.
Also, thanks to Ardensfax for giving me the inspiration to try my hand at writing, Tobyc for putting a massive amount of work into a tvtropes page dedicated to the story, and Perilian for the massive amount of encouragement that kept me motivated enough to work my hardest at writing.

Starfall is a pegasus with a past he would rather forget, and a future that does not appear to even exist. His only true talent is a gift and passion for the stars and the night sky, a passion he has cultivated since he was a small colt. So when he learns of a chance to make this hobby a lifetime career, he travels all the way to Canterlot, desperate to make something of himself.

But during this opportunity, Starfall talent for reading the stars draws the attention of several ponies, including Equestria's royalty, and the alicorn who created the night sky he is so fond of; Princess Luna. What had started as a chance for a better life turns into an opportunity he could never have imagined, as the Princess of the Night begrudgingly takes him under her wing, teaching him all there is to know about the night.

But as Starfall adjusts to this new world he has been thrown into, complications rapidly begin to arise. Can the young, introverted pegasus learn to cope with the fame his new position will thrust upon him? Can anypony break through his defences, and bring out the pegasus he was always meant to be? And can he keep a secret from the Princess of the Night herself, as his feelings threaten to run away from him?

Steel Song is a lot of things. Earth pony. Uncle. Professional bodyguard.

Retired.

So when he receives a mysterious package from Princess Luna a few weeks after the changeling invasion, he's understandably apprehensive. More-so when he presents himself before the Royal Diarchs to find that not only do they desire him to come out of retirement, but to take command of a most unusual position...

A position that may have more significance than any of them suspect. Because strange thefts are occurring on the Equestrian Railway, thefts that nopony can explain. Thefts that may have far more sinister intentions than their seemingly innocent nature may convey.

Intentions sinister enough to shift the balance of power in Equestria forever.

Book I of The Dusk Guard Saga.
