It is the year 2038, and the Earth is slowly being consumed by a space-borne monstrosity dubbed the Black Tide, which is using nanotechnology to remake the planet into something hideously alien.

Erin Olsen works for Project Harmonics, humanity's last-ditch effort to find a new world before the Tide can wipe them out. But when that world is found, and it turns out to be occupied, Erin will need to find the courage to face the unknown in order to save the inhabitants of both worlds.

There is now a follow-up to this story: Sunflower - Side Projects
Sequel: Project Sunflower: Harmony

When Sunset Shimmer brings the element of magic into another world, and introduces magic into the main six, she gathers the attention of a secret world of magic of which she hadn't known of, sending them all down a path that none of them could have foreseen.

Now the girls are being sent to school, to learn about their new magic, and their newly expanded world. No one knows for sure what the consequences of these newcomers to the magical world will be, but there is someone who may.

This is a Harry Potter / Equestria Girls crossover story.

The story's setting begins at the end of the first Equestria Girl's movie, taking a different direction from subsequent movies.

A basic understanding of My Little Pony and Harry Potter may make the story easier to follow or enjoy, but should be accessible regardless.

There are 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and humanity is determined to explore every one. We send probes, probes with the blueprints to reproduce human explorers upon arrival. Uninhabited worlds the galaxy over can be colonized and populated, until after many years they too can join the vast throng of interstellar civilization. But if a probe is very, very lucky, it will land on a populated world instead. Equestria is one such world.

Even so, it's far from perfect for colonization, not with an environment lethal to human life. But each probe is resourceful and armed with the greatest machine intelligence mankind has devised. If placing a human mind into a newly manufactured human body won't work, it will just have to get a little more creative.

Twilight and Luna have been dating for a few months now. With them both being so busy it was a good idea to just go for a walk together.

Ditching the guards was fun too.

Twilight breaks into Starlight’s room to figure out why she locked it.

Now she’s in, and regretting every second of it.

The moments spent with a brother or sister are amongst the most precious and most cherished of them all. It is little wonder, then, why the bond between siblings is a powerful one, and that of Lyra and Lightning is no exception.

These are but a few snapshots of their sisterhood over the years.

Sometimes, an inter-dimensional being of great power just barges on in and messes with you. De-alphabetize your bookshelf, eat all your snacks, change your species, the sort. And I was having such a relaxing night too...

A few months have gone by since the last season of MLP, and it seemed as though the fandom would slip quietly into obscurity. But strange things are happening, things nobody can explain. People who have never seen the show report sightings of strange monsters wandering at night. Bronies develop strange powers, and sometimes they disappear. Strangest of all are the blurry images of familiar characters, all seeming convinced of terrible danger just around the corner.

Jacob never imagined his life would be anything but ordinary. He’d finish his degree, make a living, maybe have a few kids. Until he almost got eaten on his way home from school and found himself thrust headlong into danger he could barely understand. Jacob (and his humanity) may not survive it.

Rainbow Dash finally decides to tell her friends that she is gay.

This news comes as a surprise to absolutely no one.

Rated Teen and Sex for discussions of homosexuality. A lot of homosexuality.

Written for F*** THIS PROMPT #12: "Rainbow Dash is a Lesbian."

Anon and Twilight talk about what they believe over tea and a sunset.
