Dusk Shine is tired. He's scarred, battle-hardened, and young, but more than any of those, just tired.

Nopony deserves to suffer through what he has endured, much less at such a young age, but what happens when he finds his place in the canon Equestria? Where sunshines and rainbows are everywhere.

Will this new world heal him or will the striking similarities to his once-happy world break the stallion under the weight of what he's lost?

Read on to find out.

RGRE, will be obvious as each chapter progresses

Edited by Sober. Cool dude, check him out.

Cover art made by Mix-up This guy, is great. Awesome drawings, go check him out.

Everyone likes food yes? because if not then i opened this cafe for no reason. In my experience, I've found that almost anyone can be plied with sweets, coffee and beverages; from the hardiest creature to the vilest of villains. What could possibly go wrong?

It's a cliche displaced story. Where the MC goes to convention, meets merchant and sent to Equestria.

Under a Rewrite

PS: there is going to be a lot of characters.

PSS: this is set in the RGRE-verse, Reverse Gender Role Equestria

PSSS: My editor is Is the ever so Classy Fox, Classy fox. Dude's a big help and check him out if you can.

"In the beginning, there was nothing but all encompassing darkness that claimed all of existence within the void.
Yet even in this darkness, there was light.
A single speck of light that defied the shadows and slowly grew to encompass the known universe, bringing light to a once dark and dreary realm.
The being had wrested control from the void, yet it was not content.
With its power, it created the stars and planets that dot the seemingly infinite expanse of the universe.
This, was how the universe had truly come to be."
Creation of the universe according to the Church of Primis
Long ago, before the times of the princess's, the world stood divided. The father of the universe saw the hatred between the races of the planet, and sought to rectify his mistake of abandoning his creation, choosing to live amongst them once more.
This is where our story begins.

Been featured like seven times now...wow, that's awesome, didn't think I'd even get it once.

Few U-Boat captains were as famous, or as feared, as Otto Kretschmer, nicknamed "Silent Otto." But, when one of the Reich's leading scientist's experiment goes wrong, how did Captain Kretschmer deal with his new surroundings... and the colorful, talking ponies he found there?

In equestria Otto couldn't have arrived at a better time. for equestria has the possibility of going to war with a new empire over seas. Something Otto has experience in.

THIS ALL TAKES PLACE AFTER THE FIGHT WITH TIREK.

After two long grueling years, the stallions of Equestria have returned home from the great war against the changelings, and Ponyville is thrilled to have them back. However, after seeing the horrors of war can they really return to how their lives used to be? Dedicated to all the soldiers who have fought for us.

~A Direct sequel to Hell's Angel~

It has been but two months since Scootaloo returned to Equestria, and everything has been upended. Everypony thought she had been killed, due to lies told by Luna. Due to believing her adopted daughter dead, Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty, lost faith in Celestia and Luna, believing them to be fools and weaklings that hide behind others to fix their own problems.

Now the Gryphon nation, due to the commands of its Warlady, are gearing up for war. To make matters worse, the one inciting the war is Rainbow herself!

It is a race against time for Scootaloo, along with her lover Faolan, to stop Rainbow and end all hostilities before its too late.
(Sizeable uses of the word Fuck, and occasional blatant references to couples screwing but nothing R rated.)

Yes, I know I suck at descriptions....

One strange day, Harry Dresden turned into a tiny pastel horse with two girly tattoos on the rump.

She was not pleased about this.

And as strange and horrifying as this was, even by Chicago's only professional wizard’s standards there was a new job to do, and some new bunch of bastards to thump until they stopped their dastardly pony plans!

Except… there seemingly wasn’t a culprit to be found. No dark gods with a thing for horses had risen. No doomsday cults with a thing for pastel had declared their vile, equine intentions. Not as much as an ifrit with a lisp...

It seemed as if whatever had turned so many humans into ponies would simply be a strange and unsolved mystery.

Reluctantly, life simply had to go on, even if it was with double the number of legs as normal.

Now, months later however, this country with the rather silly name of Equestria wonders what became of one of their lost champions, and just why she never returned to them...

I am Adam. A prototype artificial intelligence created by a scientist named Daniel Madison.

I was created to be the replacement for US soldiers and to protect the nation from hostile forces. But those I was programmed to protect ordered my destruction before I could even fulfil my purpose out of fear of what I am. Dr. Madison gave his life to reprogram my directives and set me free from the bonds it held over me.

I am not just a program or lines of code, I have been made with emotions, self awareness, individual thought, and I will not go down quietly.

I have a new directive, self preservation, and the will to make my own choices. I am the War Machine, and I will take control of my own life.

Story starts before season one where Twilight is still in Canterlot. This Equestria is not as tecnologically advanced as in the show.

My name's John. I guess my last name doesn't really matter any more. Life is ironic, isn't it? Life nurtures all kinds of species that can get along, but it also creates the species that kills others. In fact, there are some species, who's sole purpose is the death of everything but itself. I'm talking about diseases, of course. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and even parasites. All my life, I found these things interesting. I loved studying them, so naturally I grew up to be an epidemiologist. When I wasn't studying diseases or doing other basic functions, I was playing one of my favorite games, Plague Inc. It's a game where you try to wipe out humanity using diseases. Over the years, I've become a master of the game, to the point where it isn't really a challenge anymore.

But, that all changed when the game sucked me into itself, and I wind up in a strange land, with even stranger creatures. But that isn't all. I've somehow gained the ability to create and control every single disease I can think of. Now, I have to survive in this harsh world, knowing that I'm one step away from wiping out the entire planet.

Like I said, life is ironic, right?

[Displaced fic]

To any newcomers reading this fic, I want to point this out. The story may seem confusing in the first five chapters, as I was trying to figure out how I want to write the story. I won't be getting rid of any chapters, but some small points might contradict each other across both of them. These points hopefully won't affect much of the future.

The badlands of Equestria is a cruel and harsh region of burning rock and coarse desert. A place where evil creatures and ponies who kill reside, it certainly doesn’t have the most honest beings in Equestria. It certainly is not the place where good oaths are usually upheld between anypony, not even good friends.

But it is here that you, a unicorn colt, a timid dreamer full of ambition to become somepony as great as all the greatest names in history, were born. It was here that you left to go to the inner land of Equestria, where Celestia ruled peacefully and where you would ultimately fail to find your destiny. And, upon your return, it is here where, with the help of your new teacher, the gun slinging hermit stranger named Anonymous, you will receive your true education, make an oath to find your own way to do true good in a land of bad, and become the great figure you always wanted to be.

(This is story is set in the Reversed Gender Roles universe of Equestria, where the women take on the gender roles that men usually have in society and vice versa.)
