Evildoers beware! Ponyville's latest masked vigilante is here. She's small, she's blue, she can inexplicably use a bow and arrow despite being an earth pony. She's the Masked Arrow!

Written mostly because Archer is an awesome background pony who needs more love and deserves her own tag.

Apple Bloom, still being a filly, is looked after closely by her big brother, Big Mac. Applejack starts *bleep*ing up a storm in the Apple Orchard after somepony has stamped all of the apples in one of the largest orchards with REJECTED.

Can Big Mac protect his little sister's ears from the storm of foul bucks coming from Applejack? Can he even tell which ones are curses and which ones aren't? Can he keep *bleep*ing, or will he have to find other ways to censor his sister?

Rated teen for gratuitous use of the word "*bleep*."

Thanks to ZodiacSpear for the inspiration!

This story is a sequel to Nightmares Are Tragic

After the final fight against Nightmare Moon, Princess Luna has regained her identity and sanity. But she is still weak, scarred by her suffering, and -- save for her sister -- mostly alone in a strange new Equestria, a world which in some ways resembles the old Age of Wonders, and in other ways is very different.

Can she recover her strength, make friends, and resume her rightful role as Celestia's co-ruler? And can she do this fast enough to save the kingdom?

Now with its own TVTropes page!

For the Shadows which claimed her before are still extant, and stretching their malign powers forth to consume the light of Celestia's bright new world ...

Niamh, an introverted student of veterinary science, finds herself transported to a strange world inhabited by ponies. Of course, that means becoming one herself. Now she must prove to the other ponies that she is not the 'Nightmare Moon' they think she is, and earn their trust, while they must earn hers. Especially this 'Princess Luna' character.

But two questions stand out above the rest as being truly important: How did she get there, and why?

Amazing cover art was done by the extremely talented MrFulp.

This story is a sequel to An Extended Performance

Having fled Manehattan after first saving the city and then wrecking Bottom Billing's office, the Great and Powerful Trixie attempts to make her way alone on the open road, building up her reputation and making contacts. She hopes to be able to one day return to Baltimare (and perhaps one special somepony) as a success in her own right. But a combination of bad luck, old enemies and her own unique personality seem to thwart her at every twist and turn. Can Trixie surmount fate and achieve fame by her own efforts? Or will her journey end in humiliating failure?

Has its own TV Tropes page.

A direct sequel to An Extended Performance and (to a lesser degree) of A Long Night at the Hippodrome. Takes place roughly from Season 1, from Episodes 3 "Ticket Masters" to 7 "Dragonshy," (June 25th to Late September, YOH 1500).

Twilight Sparkle has just been crowned as Equestria's newest princess. While the masses rejoiced, the Princess of the Sun must prepare her pupil for an ancient rite that all members of Equestria's elite royalty must face. Many have failed in this trial while few have succeeded. Will Twilight be one who succeeds? Or will she fail as have countless others before her?

Starburst, the daughter of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Flash Sentry, has about all she could ask from life: loving parents, her Little Brother Best Friend Forever, and despite her seriousness and disciplined mentality, she has group of friends close as family. She also has an ambitious goal in life: she wants to be the first mare ever to become the Captain of the Royal Guard, which she's been preparing herself for since she was a little filly.

So... what would happen if she were to meet a pony that is an exact opposite of her?

A Metroid Crossover

A meteor, resistant to magical manipulation, crashes in Equestria, Planet Equis, and soon spreads an unknown poison throughout the land. Containment is all but failing and the Princesses have little power to stop the spread of the Great Poison. The Elements of Harmony are of little use as no knowledge exists of this threat that consumes all life. Help comes from a certain Hunter, clad in metal.

Samus Aran will not only fight for her life as always, but her own sanity as well as these ponies that she begrudgingly starts seeing as allies. New horrors and abilities await her as a reason to fight slowly festers within her, possibly unlocking something she had been denied for so long: Friendship.

Notes and Resources:

This takes place after Echoes. The events of Corruption will have not happened yet. In terms of MLP, consider everything up to and including the Crystal Empire. Princess Twilight does not exist here, etc. The official Metroid Timeline can be found here.

As well, this story references the manga in many places. Reading of it is not required and I try my best to explain the context, but if you're interested, both volumes can be found here.

EDIT: This story was written over two and a half years, beginning in 2013. You'll probably notice the difference in writing as the chapters progress.

Three visitors unknowingly blunder into Equestria. A troll flees the world of man to fulfill his heinous ambition in the land of ponies. The second is a beagle who would follow his master anywhere. And the last visitor is the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of Earth. Some call him the Great Red Neck Hope. Others call him a garbage man. He has many titles: fool, idiot, hero, and savior. It is this last title by which the Equestrians will call him; for he alone can stop the scourge of Rotnart, the greatest of Trantor’s spawn.

This story takes place right after the events of the movie, “Ernest Scared Stupid.” No knowledge of Ernest is required to enjoy this story, but it is highly recommended by the authors that you watch this incredible movie.

This story is a sequel to Vengeance of Dawn

Co-created by SirViper235

Sunset Shimmer has returned, having travelled between worlds and crossed the dark spaces between dimensions to emerge changed, both more and less than a pony. Driven by a dream of impending doom, she sets out to unite the races of the world, heedless of the destruction that she would bring upon the world in the name of saving it. With the support of the proud zebras of Grevyia she launches an assault upon Equestria that will bring down the princesses and shake the peaceful land to its foundations. Using the power of the ancient Labyrinth Box, she imprisons the four mages who alone can threaten her: Twilight Sparkle, Breaking Dawn, Trixie and Chrysalis the Changeling. Now these former foes must work together to recover their true identities and escape the terrors of their enchanted prison.

With Twilight missing, Applejack and Pinkie Pie enslaved and Canterlot taken, Rarity must take up the mantle of leadership as Regent of Equestria, while Fluttershy braves dragons, deer and griffons in her quest for allies. And, as Sunset's tyranny grows ever more cruel, it falls upon the slender shoulders of the Cutie Mark Crusaders to be the salvation of Equestria.

Update 24/11/2013: The Albinocorn and Starlight Nova have become pre-readers for this story. Many thanks to them as the grammar makes an immediate improvement.
