The Second Age of Sail, I often hear this era called. Personally, I think the very definition of irony should be that we would have to develop spaceflight, nuclear fusion and ways to reach worlds beyond our own just to circle back to using wind-powered vessels. Not that I really care how this old bird gets from port to port, the important thing is that the drinks are cheap and the work is good—in that specific order.

I'm a free mariner. My domain is wherever the wind blows, and my sovereign is none. If you can respect those rules... welcome aboard.

It's strange how a single change can create a massive difference in somepony's life.

Somewhere in a different world, Twilight Sparkle is thrust into an unforeseen destiny with the most unlikely (and possibly unstable) group of friends to fight the forces of darkness and bring the magic of friendship back to Equestria.

That's if they don't kill each other first.

Part 2 of the Another Side of Friendship series

It was one failed revenge attempt after another and this one was sure to be her last. The ex-changeling ruler, Chrysalis, was cornered by her enemies. They offered her a chance for 'redemption' and extended their hooves in friendship, but the queen would not accept. She charged a powerful spell and the ponies tried to stop her. There was an explosion and after the sound returned and Chrysalis was gifted sight again, she was greeted by pale white walls, various medical instruments, and her new life aboard one of the United Empire research ships.

I was the first human to come to Equestria, and I will be the first to die here.

My name is Able, and in five days I will die, leaving behind a filly that looks to me for everything.

These are my last days.

This story is a sequel to Gordon Freeman's Side Trip To Equestria

What promised to be just another day filled with royal duties, politics and politicians, Princess Celestia instead find herself trapped by an unknown, briefcase carrying individual who sends her away to keep her from interfering with Gordon Freeman's story as he journeys across Equestria to find his trusted crowbar.

Of course, this story is not about Gordon Freeman, but Princess Celestia, and she's no longer in Equestria... except at the beginning of chapter one where she is sitting on her throne, waiting for this thing to get started while thinking about cake... Oh, right. Spoilers.

But taken away by this unknown and powerful being, Celestia now finds herself in a strange facility, with a stranger device, and an even stranger disembodied voice desperately trying to kill her. And during all of this, there is only one pressing matter on her mind, besides of finding a way back home: Is the cake truly a lie?

She's determined to find out.

If you've read the previous fic, you know what to expect. If not, go and read the previous fic first. Though it is not required to understand the story told.

Evenings in Ponyville were usually pretty uneventful. Ponies would be going home, stores would be closing down, and, for today, the local fair would be winding to a close.
So imagine their surprise when a few random buildings in town are blocked with metal doors all of a sudden. And then a group of six strange creatures suddenly show up in the middle of town. But that's nothing compared to the things that attack the creatures right after their arrival...

Something I wanted to get out of the way for a while. Heavily inspired by this story, which you should read instead of this mess of words thrown at a word processor.

This story is a sequel to All That We Become: A Single Step

The wedding between Cadence And Shining Armor is perhaps one of the most bittersweet moments in recent Equestrian history. A famous union of true love between Princess and Captain of the Royal Guard, tarnished forever by the insidious treachery and assault of one of Equestria's most infamous villains. Even so, time has seen love conquer the bleak moments of the event and the villain of the story on the path to reformation; time though has not healed the deep wound left by the event which is something Celestia is hoping to see done. Chrysalis and Cadence come face to face, with family at their sides, in an effort to both move on.

This story is a sequel to All That We Are

Aurelian and Faye have parted with Aestus and Brayok to wander the globe for a year. Their trek leads them to new and familiar faces, new sights and experiences and a great deal of self reflection for Aurelian as he attempts to move forward not only from his thousands of years of isolation but from the great highs and lows of his long and storied past. The ancient Alicorn begins to see things in a new light and finds something that was right beside him the whole time.

You have some pretty serious insomnia. Thankfully, though, there's this beautful, cuddly pony princess that's figured out how to come to earth, and for some reason, she's chosen to help you with your sleeping problem with lots of physical affection and snuggles.

Within this tome are the accounts of some of the nights you've spent together, complete with graphic cuddling detail.
