“Do Humans Hibernate?” Rainbow has a question on her mind. She's not entirely sure why it's bothering her so much. It probably doesn't help that the only human she could ask is the world's greatest liar.

Marshal: (mɑː.ʃəl) noun….etymology - archaic: Middle English, from Anglo-French ‘mareschal’, of Germanic origin; akin to Old High German ‘marahscalc’, from ‘marah’ (horse) + ‘scalc’ (servant). Originally referring to "a person in charge of the upkeep of horses or stable hand”. The station became a position of trust and power in medieval courts and went on to acquire its modern military usage.

This story is a sequel to What I've Become

It is highly recommended that you read What I've Become before you read this story, since this is the second story in The Humanity Within Trilogy, and you will be lost if you just plunge into this without any preparation.

Also, this story already has a sequel: What I Am!

Things have been turning up roses for me lately. I'm no longer fighting to survive, I have people that I can turn to, and I have my face back, all because of the kindness shown to me by strangers.
But will they continue to help me once they find out what dark secrets haunt my past? Will they shun me for the evil deeds that my abductors forced me to do while I was in their service? Will they continue to protect me from the monsters that destroyed my life, once they realize what kind of monster I really am?

This is the first book of The Humanity Within Trilogy. Its sequel is What I've Done.

I wasn't always like this, a monster, running through the woods on an alien planet. I was once a man. I had dreams, a girlfriend, and a great job.
Then They came. In the middle of the night, They scooped me from my home, and... changed me.

Now I'm a beast, a demon the like of which the world I've become stranded on has never seen before, scraping by on the fringes of society, hiding from the natives, and doing my best to avoid notice.

After all, who could ever be friends with a monster?

Anon has been forced into Canterlot's throne room. Even worse, Princess Celestia is inside of it. Crying silently.

Welp, there's only one real solution here.

Boops.

Now's the time to hope this isn't a crime of any sort, and that he isn't sent to the sun anytime soon.

First publicized story- would definitely appreciate criticism.

And being completely honest- this was made in under an hour. A product of sudden inspiration.

Edit 5/17/19: Christ, featured less than an hour after it was posted and generally liked- i'm honoured. Glad you all enjoyed my silly little story!
As of 12/12/22, this still manages to appear on popular stories and featured occasionally when I post, which I cannot fathom-

Now featuring a Ko-fi for the generous, looking to help me out or the folks I want to support in my life.

Trevor Garris A twenty-two year old blind man. Trevor was enjoying his birthday by first going to the store with his step-father when they were T-boned by another vehicle. Trevor was launched out of the vehicle and somehow landed in Equestria. Which happens to be inhabited by anthromorphic ponies. Can Trevor survive in this new and dangerous world or with he be left in the dark.

((Well I guess you will have to read to find out now won't you.))

((Contains anthro ponies if you don't like it then don't read I'm not gonna look at you any differently than I already do... I love you guys sometimes))

((Final note I do not mean to offend anyone by writing this and making the main character blind. I spoke with my friend who is blind and he is helping me writing this up so it is accurate to how he goes about his day. Again I mean no offense to anyone you know who may be blind. This is strictly a work of fiction and should not be taken seriously as truth. Respect disabilities and understand that they never wanted them to begin with. That is all and please enjoy the story for what it is worth.))

A surprise storm shatters reality for several hundred young college students. Follow the actions of the members of a small, but dedicated group of people as they strive, compromise, and sacrifice in the name of survival and hopefully, a nonviolence truce with those whose nation they have entered.

Thanks for all the good feedback for changes that got this story from 15pos/13neg to 130/23.

There is now a sequel to this story Know your enemy

This story is a sequel to Moon's shadow

Luna and Alex are in a happy relationship while "A Canterlot Wedding" is approaching, what could go wrong ;-)
This is a sequel. I strongly recommend reading "Moon's shadow" first.

The butterfly effect, the phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere. What if Princess Luna never hesitated in confronting her feelings for Peter Parker before Twilight Sparkle?
