"Don't Kill, and Don't be killed, that's the best anyone can strive for"- Asriel Dreemurr, Undertale

It’s vacation time! And much to the chagrin of everycreature but Ocellus, Professor Rarity has given an assignment: use your unique skills to provide a service for your friends.
Ocellus has a great idea! In order to help propagate love, her service to her friends is the chance to take a practice run at admitting their feelings to their crushes, a task made easy by her changeling magic. It’s a great idea!
Maybe.
This story takes place shortly after She’s All Yak.
Lazy Pines is a small town in the high country of Colorado, easily overshadowed by the bigger sights to see along Colorado State 9. When influenza strikes the town hard, it is little more than a statistical blip in a typical flu season. No one thinks any more of it as the initial wave of infection passes ... until the other symptoms begin to manifest.
Meanwhile, during what should have been a routine trip to Canterlot, Twilight Sparkle stumbles upon a strange anomaly which turns into an all-consuming mystery. As she discovers the complex web of magic stubbornly maintaining this mystery's secrets, she grows worried what it could mean for herself and her family.
And as the residents of Lazy Pines struggle to understand -- or even believe -- what is happening to them, two worlds have irrevocably been set on a direct collision course.

Scootaloo has a secret. One that she's been hiding her whole life, and after the royal wedding has no choice but to share.
Apple Bloom has a secret. One that she's been hiding for six months, and is still terrified of.
Sweetie Belle has a secret. One that she's been hiding for... well, she doesn't know how long, and is looking for answers to.
So what happens when three not-ponies find out their friends aren't ponies either?
Well, one thing's for certain: they're going to have to come up with a new name for their club. Hopefully one better than the title.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.
Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

You wake up in a land where magic is real and sapient ponies have built a civilisation. Being from a different universe, you have no understanding of their language or laws, but you're happy to have found yourself in the friendliest town there is. Good luck building a new life as their favourite... monkey thing.
Ask Sweetie Giraffe anything! || Even more What Ifs!
What would happen if Sweetie Belle became a tyrannical giraffe hellbent on destroying all that was shorter than her?
How 'bout Equestria being ruled by literal potatoes?
Ever wanted to see an author clawing at his remaining shreds of sanity at two in the morning, trying to figure out what the actual heck he's writing?
Well, guess what? This is the story for ya! Enjoy the noises of short-circuiting brain cells. :)
Reached the 1000-chapter hard-limit of Fimfiction!
Suggestions for chapters are open, but remember to leave space for others! Keep in mind that I decide whether or not to use idea suggestions, and if you want a crossover, or are asking something about the show itself, then check this big ol' Twilight-grade list first!
Check out What If's new sister story!
Now with an anti-recommendation from Posh!
Other what if(s):
Red Team had been given an assignment. It wasn't the usual sort of assignment. They were assigned to defend their base 'until further notice'...and then never received notice. All announcements sounded pre-recorded, and enemy assaults were few and far between. The enforced inactivity was slowly fraying the bonds of the team...
...until something unexpected arrived. A tiny creature appears one day in their fortress, in need of compassion and care. Somehow, she finds that in this group of strange individuals, as she becomes their baby.
-------------------
Crossover with Team Fortress 2.
Part of the PWNY-verse.
Edit: Since I get these comments a lot, I will say here, I've never played the game and don't intend to include much in the way of game mechanics, so please don't suggest such things.

Michael Wilson lived for seven years as a normal, happy boy, until he had to go to the hospital for an operation to save his life. After falling asleep in the operating room, he wakes up in the ruins of a castle. But his location is not the only thing that has changed. He is now a strange horse-like creature with a mane and tail that seem to be made of stars. Just what kind of dream is that sleeping gas giving him?
...
Or is it not a dream at all?
Dark and gore tag for certain chapters. There will be warnings at the beginning of these chapters to let you know which.

Discord gathers the Mane 6, Starlight, and Spike together for a single reason. Pinkie dared him to switch their races around for a day. So he does. Hilarity ensues.
Join the fun as they go through twenty-four hours of weirdness. Twilight fights doors, Applejack fails at apple bucking, and Starlight's newly acquired alicorn magic goes to her head and she attempts to stage a hostile takeover of Equestria. And so much more! And if you're wondering about Spike? Let's just say he's gotta go fast.
I felt like writing something silly and this is what I came up with. I'll be honest I kinda lost steam toward the end and the whole thing might be pretty disjointed but... I had fun and that's what matters. I hope y'all enjoy it too. Cover art by me, except for the background which was nabbed from a collection of show backgrounds. Because I'm lazy.
