Spitfire and Rainbow Dash, an example of young love at its finest, are thrust rather abruptly into the middle of a different family's problems. How will they make it through? Only time will tell this family of mares.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders, while returning to their clubhouse, find a colt crying behind a bush. They instantly befriend him and give him a place to stay, but the colt hides a terrible secret: his true identity. Can the Crusaders protect him from his own kind, or worse, from the Bearers of the Elements? Can the colt who has done nothing wrong find peace among the rest of the ponies, or will he be doomed to suffer simply for being what he truly is?

Pre-alicorn Twilight, although I think AU tag should cover that. Unsure about adventure tag. Temporary cover art using this pony creator and some small amounts of editing with gimp.

Also, in case anyone wants to know, this is my official entry for The Brony Fiction's contest.

A big thanks to NecroLeprechaun, Perteks, SuperPinkBrony12, and Thatsteampunkbrony for putting in feedback that helped keep this story more logical!

Sergeant Sarin Miles - Modified Soldier G7-H3 - serves her Empire loyally. The Fatae Empire spans hundreds of worlds, carried on ships propelled by sunlight through the ocean of Ether that is Space.
But in the middle of a scouting mission to a strange, previously undiscovered planet, her boat crashes. Now she's stranded alone on a bizarre world, where magic is stronger, the beasts tougher, and the residents almost too friendly to be believed. Can the super soldier survive on Equestria? Will her superiors mount an extraction? Or has Sarin Miles been marooned on the planet of ponies?

It's a story of duty, adventure, wonder, and tested loyalties.

Cover art shamelessly ripped from Disney's Treasure Planet.

Sequel to Solar Sails: Marooned In Equestria.

Sarin Miles - Modified Soldier and alien - has just become a permanent addition to Equestria. Abandoned by her species in a world of ponies, she needs to adapt to living in the capitol, Canterlot. And she has no idea where to proceed. Such is her new mission: to figure out what her mission is.

Elsewhere in Canterlot, Whole Heart, the flawed Crystal Pony, seeks a place in a country she's just arrived in. How will these expatriate outcasts cross paths, here in the beating heart of Equestria?

Warning: Readers should probably read Marooned In Equestria to understand the characters and the wider universe the series exists in. Additionally, this story necessarily contains spoilers for Marooned. Reader discretion advised.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things.
The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa the bad things don't spoil the good things, or make them unimportant.
When the opportunity to care for a small, blue alicorn arises, I give her the kindness that everyone and everything deserves.
After all, the loneliest people are the kindest...

Link to sequel: The Worlds End

(This is my first ever fanfic. I don't think my own writing skills are any good, but I want to try contributing something somewhat good to the fandom.)

Edit: Many months after I initially posted this story, I never thought it would get this popular. To date my first story is the biggest, statistics wise, and it even made the features box on the front page! Thanks to all the viewers and followers <3

This story is a sequel to A Robust Solution

When Rainbow Dash finally agrees to come along with Fluttershy and see a butterfly migration, the blue speedster expects a relaxing, even boring camping trip, not a journey of discovery regarding the true natures of herself and her foalhood friend.

Takes place around the 15th of October, YOH 1500, right after "Call of the Cutie" in the TV series.

This is a sequel to "A Robust Solution" in the Flutterarc, but you don't have to have read the other story first.

Now has a TV Tropes page!

After a terrible Civil War that segregated the three pony races, the galaxy became a terrible place. Earth Ponies and Hybrids (mixed ponies) are seen as dung under the hooves of the aristocrats. But after thirty years of turmoil ponies wanted it all to stop. But no side dares to back down. One day a princess was born that rocked the entire planet of Canterlot and the surrounding Equestrian Galaxy: an earth pony hybrid princess.

Sixteen years after her birth, Princess Octavia was always protected by her unicorn parents but that changed during her sixteenth birthday when the ship her family was on was attacked by pirates. A young thief by the name of Vinyl Scratch rescues Octavia from the blades of her attackers. Who’d ever thought that this meeting will change their lives forever?

Vinyl had dreams of becoming a rich merchant as Octavia dreams of bringing her people back from segregation. But how can these two fulfill their dreams when evil pirates, assassins, and aristocrats try to stop them at every turn? Adventure and treasure meet their sights as these two mares meet a college professor and her assistant with a clue that will lead them to the greatest legendary treasure of all time. They must find the legendary Luna’s Treasured Moon where Luna’s treasure rests, and the rumored burial ground of the Princess Explorer. But the only key to get there is Octavia’s necklace, The Luna’s Tear.

(This is a crossover between Treasure Planet, Castle in the Sky, and Ponies. It’s not really a crossover but you’ll recognize themes from both of these movies in the story.)

This story is a sequel to Treasured Moon and Stars: Vol. 1 Luna's Treasured Moon

The crew of the Fancy Flute is back and in peril already. Captain Scratch, thought to be alright, is slowly dying. Of what? That is what Octavia wants to find out. Octavia has to find a way to save Vinyl and she has to find the Elements of Harmony. But how can she find them when the other three elements were out of sight and the three she already found are bickering and not trusting each other?

Meanwhile, Vinyl is traveling between life and death. She finds a place where everypony lives in harmony, rich and poor, riff raff with the nobles. Vinyl faces her past head on and meets the one pony she lost. Even if she was reunited with the ones that were dear to her in the past, Vinyl thought of something that made her heart flip. Can she ever face Octavia, again and tell her about her true feelings for her?

The story takes a darker turn as more mysteries are revealed and the past reveals itself. Is it possible that Octavia might find the answers to who is really the true leader of Canterlot’s corrupted government? Can she save the Elements from themselves? What truth is Rainbow Dash trying to hide from Octavia? So many new questions and yet so little time for answers; can Octavia find the answers she seeks? Discover the answers for yourself in Volume 2 of the Treasured Moon & Stars trilogy.
