Living in Equestria under a false name and racial identity is one thing. Finding out you're not the only one of your kind stranded here is another... especially when that someone and the element bearers are looking for you.

Being my first attempt at a first-person romantic comedy, this takes a slightly different approach to the concept of being a human stranded in Equestria.

Enjoy.

Abderus was the first human to travel at superluminal speeds. His departure from Earth didn't go to plan, though, and now he finds himself marooned on an alien planet.

When Princess Twilight Sparkle seeks to modernize Equestria, one of her first targets was the Equestrian rail network. Seemingly overnight, most lines were nationalized, the out of date steam locomotives were abolished and replaced by diesels and electrics, and unwanted lines were being ripped up left and right.

In a time where sentimentality could not stand in the way of progress, two colts will take it into their hooves to save an old line and keep its hundred ton secret safe from the scrappers torch. But they will soon learn that running a preserved railway is much more difficult than simply clearing the weeds and running trains.

With time of the essence and the scrappers torch an ever looming threat, hop aboard for an express run to adventure!

This story has received a complete overhaul, promising better storytelling, better character arcs, and more accurate railway practices!

Welcome to St Trineighans, the most prestigious school outside of Celestia's school for gifted unicorns run by Princess Luna herself. Yeah right. Apple Bloom knew something was off the moment the acceptance letter came through the door. Only fifteen ten year old fillies are chosen each year to go to St Trineighans . She can just barely manage a C average despite her siblings help, so why in Equestria was she chosen? It won't be long until she has her answers. The problem now is, will she be able to survive even one year?

Welcome to St Trineighans School for Fillies, where if it doesn't make you a profit it isn't worth doing it.

Who is Discord? Where did he come from? How did he get so powerful? Why did he unleash a reign of Chaos over young Equestria?

After defeating the Tantabus, Princess Luna is visited in her dreams by a batpony. He claims to be Discord yet acts very different from him. In the waking world, Discord's explanation leaves her shocked.

The Alicorn of the Night is about to get a front row seat to unraveling the mysterious past of Discord. Aided by none other than Discord's Masks, the mindsets and personalities from his past. However, what she and others find are more than just answers:

After all, some of the Cords don't forgive easily and none of them forget.

Across the lands of Equestria, Discord sends devices so that everyone can hear and see a message from him: The message being a multi-segment lesson in some of Equestria's lost history. With various guests, they shall recount such events as the real version of Hearth's Warming, forgotten heroes and villains, and wars few could imagine today.

"All viewers of this program are invited to leave their own questions for Discord and his guests."

Note: Not really an AU so much as putting in new material with only minor bending to canon.

In the depths of space, a young bat pony by the name of Star Dancer is found by the crew of the Kestrel during a mission of great importance.

A crossover with the game FTL. Ponies in space are always fun, right? And while there will be humans, they are far from the only race that will be appearing.

The summer season was just about over at Stella Lacus adventure summer camp. Amie and her younger brother Wes were eager to return home. Unfortunately for them, their adventures had only just begun.

All at once, the entire summer camp and the mountain it was built upon shifted universes, leaving Earth behind for a far stranger world. In the same moment, every camper, counselor, and staff-member transformed into strange insectoid creatures, with unknown powers and incomprehensible needs.

Instead of returning to nursing school, Amie has a new goal: keep her little brother alive. If only the other campers didn't look at him like food...

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

Applejack. Honest, hard working and true. Friendly to everypony and always willing to lend a hoof to those in need. This was the pony that the denizens of Ponyville knew so well. Who they trusted and relied upon. Who's stall they visit in the market, and who's family founded the town itself.

Hers has been a story of tragedy, grief and renewal.

That is the part of the story everypony knows. There is more to her tale, though. A dark secret she harbors from all but a few. A secret which could endanger her family, friends and everypony in Ponyville. . . .

Welcome everyone, to a story that popped into my head randomly while I was in the midst of a rant to myself! Inspired partially by stories like TDR's Twilight Gets a Puppy and Mister Friendly's The Irony of Applejack, this is my own take on the "Rewrite of the series, with a twist" story.

Here's hoping you all like it!
