A young mechanic named Crimson Vision, who had struggled almost all his life with magic, always dreamed of joining the Order’s academy so that he could follow in the hoofsteps of his hero, the legendary Watcher. But, unlike his peers, he couldn't use magic like other unicorns could, he was seen as inferior by his fellow unicorns while his own family doubted him and his dream.

His life would change one fateful night when he happens upon an injured unicorn, bearing strange markings, claiming to be the Legendary Princess Celestia! Left with no other choice, Crimson must do everything within his power to be her guide in the modern world while keeping her safe and secret from an ancient evil that threatens the long lost princess along with all that he holds dear.

8/12/22 - It Got FEATURED!!!

[Complete! With TVTropes apparently!]
Also, apparently, an animated trailer.

In a world of brass and steam, Twilight Sparkle had thought she had made a life-changing discovery with the invention of the telescope. For better or worse, she was correct.

Now her discovery has not only changed her life, but the lives of those she seeks out in her desperate attempt to contact the only other creature as lonely as Twilight herself.

It all would have been much simpler, but it had to be the one Twilight could only call The Mare on the Moon.

Decidedly not within walking distance, then.

Rarity's life had been shaken up quite a few times- after all, she'd never expected the legend of the Mare in the Moon to be true, much less did she ever expect Nightmare Moon to return to crown herself the new Princess of Equestria, and never in her wildest dreams would she have become the Princess' private secretary. Yet, in a few short years- all of these unlikelihoods and more would come to be.

Just when she thought her life would have no more twists and turns, the Lunar Palace receives a visit from a mysterious alicorn who claims to be a Princess from another world- trying to fix a timeline broken by a vengeful wizard called Starlight- and even though the strange mare left just as quickly as she appeared, the impact on Rarity would be lifelong, as she sets off to right an otherworldly wrong.

Twilight has been acting odd leading up to Hearts and Hooves day, and it's up to Starlight to find out why.

{This story has two versions, the last chapter is the first person version.}

Mark Wells was a klutz, but even he could not imagine stumbling into a mirror that he had just bought at an antique store and ending up in a world of colorful equines, not to mention gaining hooves and wings at the same time. And whoever heard of green fur on a horse? Perhaps the great and powerful Princess that the guard was taking him to would have some answers because he sure didn't!

An alternative version of canon events with humorous twists. Written in collaboration with Airy Words.

Book One: Chapters 1–33
Book Two: "Further Off The Mark": Chapters 34–69
Book Three: "On The Mark": Chapters 70–100

Sex tag added as of chapter 32 but it's mostly due to talk. Actual sex takes place "off camera".

Thrust into the role of royal bodyguard, Lieutenant Shining Armor finds himself in the City of Roam, trying to protect Princess Cadance while avoiding accidentally starting a war with Equestria's oldest rival. His training taught him to worry about Roamish plots or over enthusiastic crowds. What he hadn't anticipated was the focus on proper etiquette, or the way his heart pounds when Cadance smiles at him, or the sheer number of creatures that want her dead. Trapped between love and duty, Cadance and Shining discover that sometimes the greatest dangers are those closest to home.

Lyra Heartstrings loves humans, so much so that she wrote a book about humans. Unfortunately for her, the rest of Equestria doesn't share her enthusiasm. They don't even believe the legendary creatures are real. Luckily for her, she's got the proof, and the proof's name is Archard.

The Lyra Laws is a companion to this story, which you should read, by Shinigamimirror

When Flurry gets called by the map when she is still a filly who will she be called to go on adventures with, and where will she go from there? Find out by reading.

After a mysterious frost falls over the lands of Equestria, ponies are forced to flee to the Far North to escape the eternal winter. There, around several coal-powered furnaces called Generators, they may generate enough heat to guarantee the survival of ponykind and civilization among the snow and frost.

However, as the temperature drops, and their situation becomes increasingly desperate, the ponies of New Ponyville must make the hard decisions.

What is the worth of a foal's life?

What lengths must be taken while facing starvation?

What must be sacrificed in the name of survival?

Where is the line between leader and tyrant?

There is only one wholistic truth among the howling winds and biting cold: The City Must Survive.

Celestia didn't want very much. She was happy to spend her youth learning how to farm with her adoptive father. She was happy learning how to cook from her adoptive mother. She was happy to play hide and seek with her little sister Luna, and stare at the stars with her on those warm summer nights. But when the world began to freeze with unnatural snow and ice, and the pony tribes began to go for each other's throats, Celestia's world is undone, and all she wants is to protect her little sister, no matter what.

But between ravenous snow spirits, superstitious ponies, and the machinations of those who would use them for their own ends, Celestia will struggle at every corner. Matters only become that much harder when her little sister begins to hear a voice in her dreams, calling her across the frozen wilderness with the only words Celestia remembers her true mother saying.

"Rise and shine."

A special thank you goes out to my editor, Chromio.

It is best to read this story with Night Mode turned on.
