What happens when you take a brilliant, bitter, and angst filled brony and put him together with a bunch of happy ponies that want to be his friends? Short answer; me with a bad attitude trying desperately to find some way out of this cheery pastel hell that is Equestria. Want the long answer? Then just click the stupid button, hold on, and get ready for an adventure that I really wish I wasn't a part of... oh and please enjoy. (That way at least one of us does.)

Warning!: All characters are human!

Waking up on a clearing is a surprising thing, considering the fact I should be dead. I've been overwhelmed with diseases and died a slow death, leaving my family and friend behind. Now I must start off again in the land of Equestria. However i believe there must be another reason why I came here. But that's a bit cliche don't you think? Sometimes fate can be a lovely lady...Or a Sadistic Bastard.

Maybe both?
-----------------------------------------------
The beginning is based on a true life event I had back in November 2013, although i did not die from these diseases, I was almost killed by the septic shock, the entire incident left me in a sour shape for about a month... I'm fine now and i decided to write a story on what would happen if i were to die from the diseases and was sent to Equestria. Somewhat of a self-insert, only has the major events like the changeling invasion, the marriage, and the coronation, etc. Any other episodes will be replaced with this storyline. First real fan-fiction, second attempt. Constructive criticism is NEEDED!

2022 REWRITE IN PROGRESS

After being rudely awoken from Cryo-sleep, John-117 finds that the Forward Unto Dawn has been sucked into a gravity well, causing it to fall towards an unknown planet. In the crash, he is separated from Cortana and falls alone into the Everfree forest. In addition to this new complication, old memories from a scarred and tragic past haunt his dreams, putting his remaining sanity on edge.

However, he has little time to ponder these thoughts, as he encounters the planet's... peculiar... inhabitants.

First 19 Chapters proofread by Bravo 539 and Shadownamesto.
Credit for the intro sequence goes to Blaze Spectrum.

Current rewrite will not necessarily follow the old story but certain events and details may be reused.

Connor and Sweetie Belle have been doing some quality time together: helping with homework, walking to school, playing, talking, comforting after a personal dispute. After a while, Sweetie Belle begins to crush on the colt. She wants more than anything for him to be her coltfriend, but what will hold her back? The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Connor's obliviousness, or the fact that Connor is already dating Fluttershy? Dun-dun-DUNNNNNNN!

This is a story about Sweetie getting what she's always dreamed of, and her desire to keep it despite the opposition of so many of her friends. She meets the stallion of her dreams and he falls for her too, but he has some well-founded reservations. She has met her Prince Charming and caught him, so surely her "happily ever after" is just starting?

Come with Sweetie as she explores her new found feelings, and join her in finding out where they may lead.

Notes: This is a story about foalcon, but I don't intend for there to be any sex scenes. I will change the tags if I'm ordered to by the mods, but I plan to keep it "teen".

If you find this fic too slow and decide to give up on it, go and take a look at the short story it was based off. It's pretty much the same thing, but in less than three hundred words! Also, don't read that yet unless you want the plot for this story spoiled -- obviously.

Pre-read by my beautiful assistant the vastly underappreciated Accidental Brony. Go and check his stuff out, it's always bugged me that it gets so many fewer views than it should.

Aldred, one of 100 mages in an ancient circle, and the youngest of them all, visits Equestria to steal back something that was taken from his family years ago- meanwhile, Celestia tries to make amends to him for an evil sin she committed towards him, but isn't doing a good job at it- and she may or may not be able to.

{Rated Teen for harsh language at times}

Edit: After receiving a rather unwarranted comment, I think it would be best to point out this is a human in Equestria story. If this is not your cup of tea, I respect that.

The story of Carl Carlson Carlson The Seventh and how he one day woke up in Equestria as a foal(Half pony half changeling) and an orphan. And his decent into madness for geting the even worse than his original name Annony Mare.(Even though he is a colt)

Follow along as he uses his foreknoleadge and modern knoleadge to atempts to impliment a masterplan that will create a glorious 300TB net conection with a seemles MMO VR all payed for by the countries of Equis under treat of compleate global annihilation.

Also random shenanigans until that works out or falls apart in a burning glory.

Formerly Lost Time Series
Book descriptions past book one will contain spoilers, so be warned.

1: Memories of a Lost Time
Streak was only sixteen when Discord betrayed his fellow immortals and tried to take over the world. He joined the army, where he quickly rose in the ranks, eventually becoming the general of the United Equestrian Armies. He had led his troops to victory, becoming the most respected pony in Equestria. That all changed when he was betrayed by his closest allies. He was wiped from the history books and the war he spent five years fighting was erased from memory.

One thousand years later, he pulls himself out of a realm of nothingness called the Void to find the world he worked so hard to help create has fallen completely under the control of one of his former allies. Now on top of being forced to deal with distrust to and from new allies, worry about betrayal again, and being faced with the fact that even he's not immune to love, he also has to deal with an embarrassing new phobia. Whatever it takes to kill the one who betrayed him.

But how will Streak prevail, and even if he does, will he fall deeper and deeper into his darkness, becoming the very monster he seeks to destroy? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain.

Streak will have his revenge.

2: Flight From Memories
Formerly Vengeance From a Lost Time
Celestia had been exposed and stripped of her power. Due to a clever use of Cadance’s spellcraft, every pony, griffon, and minotaur in every city in Equestria knew Celestia for the monster she was. Streak had won. He even managed to survive winning, despite his fears otherwise.

Or so he thought. He left Celestia’s ultimate fate up to the Bearers, which proved to be a fatal mistake. Celestia was spared, given a second chance as a magic-less version of herself, and within days sent an assassin after him, who was successful at slaying the former general. With his consciousness back in the Void, this time as an insider instead of an intruder, Streak learned how to harness his new demon form.

Unknown to him, his death caused a rift in the Bearers. His body was never found, since technically it was not really there in the first place, which led Rainbow Dash to convince herself that he was only missing. She grew resentful as the other bearers, one by one, stopped looking for Streak. When Twilight gave up the search, it was the final straw. Rainbow started an argument that wiped any trace of their friendship from all their thoughts and actions, going so far as to threaten Twilight were she to ever talk to her again.

After two years of animosity, Rarity had had enough. She brought the two of them together to try and rekindle their friendship. This proved to be a horrible decision, ending with Rainbow Dash in jail awaiting trial for attempted murder and Twilight in the hospital. All the while, Celestia was continuing her vile deeds behind everyone’s back. Coupled with the neighboring Griffon Empire closing their borders, to ponies only, without so much as a word as to why, lends itself to a tumultuous landscape for Streak’s return. A return facilitated by one of the the most unlikely sources.

3: Recurring Memories
Starswirl has returned to Equestria, somehow. On top of this, Changelings have moved in and are attempting to do. . . something. Nopony is sure what. To make Streak's life even harder, his daughter doesn't want him to go running through the countryside looking for either party, instead choosing to remain in Ponyville and attempt a normal life.

How will Streak cope with being a civilian now? No more fighting, no more killing, just sitting in town and having a job somewhere normal. Can he even get a job after losing his cutie mark when he transformed into a demon, or is he doomed to joblessness?

On top of this, Twilight is sure to not be happy with the duo, Rarity will have some kind of issues after being held prisoner by changelings, and Star is starting to feel funny around Sweetie Belle. As if his life wasn't hard enough, he starts feeling an urge he hasn't felt in a thousand years. He wants to hurt something, bad.

All in a day's work for Equestria's only remaining professional soldier, right?

4: In His Memory
Streak is dead. He died with a part of the city of Manehattan, but his sacrifice saved the rest of the doomed city.

He left behind Star, however, and she isn't happy that he's gone. Doubly so since Starswirl is the one responsible. Armed with a secret and versatile form of magic used only by the royal guard's War Mages, she sets off to indiscriminately slaughter those responsible for the Manehattan Incident, starting with Starswirl. But has she bit off more than she can chew? How can anyone hope to defeat the former Bearer of Magic in his own element?

On her way back from a rodeo, Applejack stumbles upon a unicorn who's horn has been broken. So she takes him back to Ponyville, and begins to form a bond with this little guy.

As a long time anti-brony, Morgan has always hated Friendship Is Magic. It doesn't help that his two best friends are bronies that are hell bent on getting him to give the show a try. However, an encounter with a certain 4th wall breaking party pony brings him into Equestria, and now he must learn how to adapt and somehow find a way home.
