Contest entry for Mana's Wonderful Wonderbolts Writing Contest

Sam was leading a peaceful and quiet life ever since he emerged in Equestria. Making his home in Ponyville, he even managed to find himself a marefriend in Fluttershy. But then Celestia comes up with the Villian Reformation Programme that puts him in quite the predicament. Three former villainesses are now living with him and Fluttershy, as the alternative for two of them was spending an eternity in Tartarus. Should be fine, right?

Just a note, R63 Sombra by the name of Umbra. Because why the hell not...
Had to get this one started before I do anything else.
It's a crossover with another property which I will not name until it's the proper time.
I know the cover art is a very sloppy paste job but it'll do for now.

Featured on October 26th! It's true I saw it!
A huge thank you to my readers!
Aaaaand it's gone...

After reading a story to his little sister, Princess Celestia's student Shining Armor believes that the legendary Mare in The Moon is about to return. After disregarding his warning, the princess sends her student to a small town called Ponyville to look over preparations for The Summer Sun Celebration. There, he, his sister Twilight Sparkle, and young dragon companion Spike, meet some strange mares and odd fillies. How will he survive a town full of crazy ponies? And what will he do when it turns out he was right?

The story is inspired by the Twiley chapter of Crisis of Infinite Twilights written by Defender2222.

Now the first in what I'm calling The Shiny-verse

The perfect bioweapon: takes effect within minutes of exposure, has a 100% success rate, and those exposed spread it wherever they go. Armed with this powerful new weapon, an evil organization attempts to bring about a reign of terror unlike any seen in the world before. Unfortunately, the perfect weapon doesn't work quite as intended. Instead of killing its victims, it changes them into ponies.

Tiny, adorable ponies.

The world is doomed.

This story was written for the Transformations group story contest. It was originally published under the name "Consequences," though this story has been heavily revised since then.

Thanks to my usual crew Two Bit and Sparktail for the editing, and for everyone who submitted feedback on the original contest entry. As usual, my coverart is by the fantastic Zutcha, so go ahead and check him out of you haven't already! The story's changed a great deal since then, hopefully for the better.

Dusk shine, the beloved student of Prince Solaris, is being kicked out of canterlot till he gets an idea of how to live life outside of books. I personally don't give a sh!t. This is a story of how one night can change even the worst of enemies into the closest ponies on equis. ENJOY OR PERISH BEFORE THE MIGHT OF- GAK!

bug me when you want a chapter posted, i will try to keep a regular every mon-wed-fri schedule going so.. bug me when you want to hear more.

This story is a sequel to The Sunlight In Her Eyes

Inspired by the turn Sunset and Twilight's relationship has taken, Fluttershy gains the confidence to make a change of her own. With her sights set on her best friend Rainbow, it'll take everything she's learned about herself to capture Rainbow's heart.

Bluebell Berry attends Canterlot High and is living an ordinary life with friends and a boyfriend. That all changes one night when she accidentally finds herself in the Crystal Empire surrounded by guards. Forced to stay as a pony for 30 moons, Bluebell must learn how to be a pony and figure out what to do. A helpful guard may just be able to be the guidance she needs over these long weeks. Unfortunately trouble may be brewing in the north, grudges left unchecked will cause a dangerous game to begin for the Crystal Empire. Can they defeat this growing threat? And will Bluebell ever be able to return home? Will she ever want to?...

Note: Sunset Shimmer never happened in this so no one from Canterlot High knows that there is a portal to Equestria. (hense the Alternate Universe tag)

Rainbow Dash has a crush on Soarin; she isn't willing to admit her feelings.

Have you ever had a dream that just seemed so real, that it was impossible to say for certain that it was even a dream at all? A dream that, despite all of its impossibilities, seemed to re-write your entire perception of reality, re-writing your sense of what—and indeed, who—you are? Accepting change is hard enough as it is. But when you're a somebody who wakes up as a somepony, how do you cope with the impact such a drastic change has on your mind and body? With changes like these, it must surely just be a lucid dream—albeit a suspiciously accurate one—just brimming with potential and ripe for exploration. So you might as well suck it up and make the most of these distressingly…unusual circumstances, and seize this psychological adventure before you wake up and the dream ends.
After all, this couldn't possibly be real, so the dream must come to an end eventually…right?

I am Starswirl the Bearded and my story does not start in Equestria. Many have heard the rumor that I am from a foreign land. This is but the smallest part of the truth, for I was not born a pony but on another world, and brought here by Princess Celestia on a mission to save my race. I was born a human, in the year of my people 1452, and my name was Leonardo daVinci.
