Honouring The Conversion Bureau's first anniversary I bring a story that is in no way a self insert.

Waking up and feeling oddly refreshed at five in the morning. My dog seems to have played a trick on me, stapled a note on my cheek, no less. Maybe I can find my way out of this if I play along...

So this is how it all comes to an end. Suck in the harsh Australian bush, no ammo, HLF bearing down on me each and every day. And I feel like I'm on death's door.

I can only see two ways out of this, bullet to the head or ponifiaction. Only eighteen and I'm having to make a dissuasion that's going to change my life... Well as they always said, "Better get living, or get busy dying."

May as well go out with a bang.

A shameless self inset of me into the TCB universe... because I am a classy bastard like that.
Oh and the epic cover art was done by Wasteland Gunner.

Dans your average guy, good friends, good life, good times. You know, the good stuff. But when he's visited by a somewhat familiar voice in his dreams, his world changes dramatically. What does Dan have in store? Well, read and find out dummy :)

Violet is a girl who has lived her life about as normally as a girl can. When she lived among humans, she had friends, went to college, trained to be an actress. But when Equestria appeared off America's Pacific Coastline, the entire world shook with the repercussions. Years later, Violet lives in a pony occupied Albuquerque, one of the last humans in the Western United States.

It's been a long time coming, but Violet has finally decided to give up her humanity, but her decision leads her down a dangerous route that is anything but magical.

After spending months fighting for their lives in Nazi Germany, Edward and Alphonse Elric believe they have crafted a way to reopen the Gate of Truth, and return home to their world. However, without the aid of their alchemy, the brother's find themselves separated, and in an unfamiliar world with even less familiar bodies. Combining their alchemical powers with unicorn magic, can they find a way back to Amestris?

Hey all. I've never let anyone see anything I've written before, but I decided it would be good to get some opinions on this story I've been working on. My first fanfic, and really just something that came into my head. I don't believe there are a whole lot of FMA/MLP crossovers on this site, so I may as well throw mine into the mix! If anypony has any title suggestions/would like to design a cover, I'd really appreciate it! You all could probably do better than I could!

For you FMA fans, the only solid details I'm drawing are the obvious facts about the Elric's, and that this story would take place after the Conqueror of Shamballa movie.

Enjoy, and critique is both encouraged and requested!

Formerly The Conversion Bureau: A New Age, A New Life

In the year 2080, Humanity sits at a crossroads. Technological innovations have advanced to the point to where most mundane tasks can be accomplished by machines, as well as the nano-scale manufacture of most materials. However, the greed of a few and the lingering ecological devastation to get to said point leaves humanity on the precipice of nothing short of a society-ending cataclysm.

Seeing this, visitors from another world wish to aid Humanity along this crossroad. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond any's control, there is no recourse for moving any human off-world, so any disaster could potentially overwhelm any assistance Equestria can render.

Actually... there is one option those of Earth have if they wish to leave. Though is it an option that anyone would even accept existing, let alone take advantage of?

And what happens when an ancient entity sees said option as the first step in correcting a grave error she had committed so many eons ago?

ARC I: A New Beginning (Chapters 1 - 4) -- Introduces the feature characters of Part I for the most part.
ARC II: A New (Old) Magic (Chapters 5-14) -- The Conversions of the Four Conduits and their trails in re-igniting Terran Magic.
ARC III: A New Movement (Chapters 15+) -- Magic is unsealed on Earth, and the various extra-governmental groups begin to form.

General Story Notes:

1) This is a general rewrite of The Conversion Bureau: A New Age, A New Life. While the general plot outline will (hopefully) remain the same; specific interactions and characterizations will be clarified, modified, or outright reworked in order, to I feel, better facilitate my storytelling.

2) Once the original chapters (which can be downloaded from here as an EPUB or as a PDF ) are done being rewritten, Part II will be merged into this story space and that second one will be formally deleted.

3) If you are so inclined, I've also preserved all the original comments on the story as they were posted immediately before initial chapter deletion (viewable here)

4) While the general tone of the story is general flavors of adventure, there are some long phases of slice of life and world building. Because for whatever reason the Administration decided that Slice of Life and Adventure are mutually exclusive tagging-wise.

5) The Equestria (and the wider world of Equestria which I term Equus) is a heavily modified Equestria from the end of Season 2. Therefore consider it an Alternate Universe that runs mostly parallel with canon from S1 and S2; though I always reserve the right to use any bits from S3 or the ongoing S4.

6) Yes this is still a TCB story, but I feel that the grouping, my own statements, and the plot itself would kinda beat that into people's heads, so including it the title was just further redundancy.

WARNING To New Readers: Any canon character used is subject to MY Personal interpretation of that character. If you believe this is a problem in any specific scene or in general, do not be afraid to ask how or why I am using a character a certain way. I actually like the discussions in these regards.

The wheels of fate turn in mysterious ways. When a unicorn colt has an accident on the edge of the Everfree, nopony knows who he is. Assuming his brain was jostled by the accident, they ignore his absurdist notions of not being from this world, and not being a pony at all. However, when he is involved a terrible incident that threatens the lives of his only friends in the world—Ponyville's three most rambunctious fillies—their friends and family begin to pay more credence to his claims.

For Warren Ashland, the clock is ticking as a chain of events that was set into motion the moment he woke in Equestria comes to a vicious head. The time will come when he must decide whether he wishes to stand alone as a human in the Equestrian world, or give it all up for his newfound friends. His actions will shape the lives of those around him.

In an alternate reality, Discord found his love of chaos came in handy for babysitting young foals. For two thousand years, since he and the princess' were kids, he's babysat nearly everyone in Equestria. Now he's babysitting the cutie mark crusaders, and while he does he recounts with them his many babysitting jobs of your favorite characters as fillies, one by one.

An ancient manuscript written in Middle English, the only surviving artifact from long lost Earth, may hold the true reason for the emergence of Equestria, the very existence of the Conversion Bureaus, and the deepest secret of Princess Celestia herself.

This story is a continuation and expansion of 'The Conversion Bureau: Letters From Home', but it is not necessary to have read that story to enjoy and follow this one.
