Life at Crystal Prep is tough, but so is Sunset. The school demands the best from the best, and she’s happy to prove she’s the cream of the crop. Having an amazing girlfriend doesn’t hurt either.

Even if thinking too hard about that girlfriend does.

An entry in the Sunset x Villains Crystal Prep contest, Sci-Fi Contest III, and RockstarRaccoon’s final Crackfic Storm. Mostly to see if I could. Rated Teen for brief mentions of assorted work-safe bodily fluids.

Their chariot shone like silver, roared like thunder, and blew fire hotter than dragons' breath. And everypony knew the day had finally arrived. The Goddesses had returned.

But everypony had forgotten why the Goddesses had left them...

The Sweetie Bot Mk-XLI is the latest and most successful integration of a proto-equine unit, surpassing the previous models in every conceivable manner. And thanks to the seamless upgrade and re-insertion procedures, including the connection to the hive mind cloud data network of Sweetie Core Memories, nopony has ever noticed when a previous model has been replaced with a newer one.

Mk-XLI has been in place for several weeks now, and so far the re-integration has appeared to be successful. But today there appears to be a network error in the school yard that she is struggling to rationalise. Why are some ponies staring at her?

I don't remember much about my life as a human, only a throbbing pain in my chest, where my heart would've been. Now I find myself in a world of magical talking ponies and in a cybernetic robotic body with a dangerous hidden program.

I must find a way to control this program and make new friends as requested by my mentor and monarch. But who would want to be friends with a drone with a powerful program and has no memories of her old life?

I know I wouldn't...

Cypress Flash has worked at Station Thirteen as part of the Logistics department for a month, and has had no reason to believe that it would ever be interesting. That changes when one day, he uncovers a perplexing mystery in the form of components missing from the storeroom. It'll be up to him and Kai, the station's only Changeling, to figure out not just who stole these supplies, but also why.

An entry for the 2023 Science Fiction Contest II.

Cover art adapted from this image. All credit goes to the original artist.

Nuclear power is a bust. Twilight killed her friends. Can cloning and philosophy bring them back? (Or will we merely be pone-ished?)

- Content note: In addition to the tags-- references to intercourse (which does not take place). 'Tragedy' nearly suits this as a tag... but should it be swapped with 'Dark' or 'Comedy' since there is a three tag limit? Tagging presented a difficult decision.

- Not a crossover with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (an early Sci-Fi story), but thematically and titularly adjacent!

After an unfortunate accident renders Rainbow Dash unconscious, she wakes in a strange new world filled with hostile pony-like creatures. Stuck in a booming metropolis with unrecognizable technology and a less-than-welcoming reception from its locals, she is desperate to find a way home.

However, she quickly learns that she has bigger concerns. Unrest spreads amongst the inhabitants of this city like wildfire, and Rainbow Dash finds herself in the midst of a society teetering on the brink of revolution.

Submission for the Science Fiction Contest II.

It is during the reign of Princess Twilight Sparkle. Thanks to her and her friends, the land of Equestria had been relatively safe and quiet.

But when monsters from beyond the skies begin falling to the planet below, chaos quickly starts to spread.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders, (grown up by this point and working in different towns), are caught up in an attack on their disparate locations, whence they meet some heroes from the same place as many of the monsters originated.

For them and other familiar ponies, lives were about to change forever.

Crossover with the Ultraman series.

Tags will be added as necessary.

Side note: For the purpose of this story, Ponies have an ability called Innocuous Hands. They can switch between two and four legs at will.
