Translation from one of my first crossovers. This story is placed before (and during) the Return of Harmony.

Professor Paradox brings Ben to Equestria as he is asleep and is placed under care of Pinkie Pie to befriend him and help him with an important mission in Equestria. When Ben wakes up he realizes he have turned into a pony and that now he is under the especial care of ‘Aunt Pinkie Pie’.

It's not like the movies. Not every relationship is a perfect, happy ending. In fact, most are not, but Sonata didn't know that.

Now she does. And for the first time, Sonata's heart broke.

The worst thing is?

She has only herself to blame.

This is my entry for the EqG 10th Anniversary Shipping Contest.

If you enjoy this and would like to receive a story of your own, see here for more details!

There are many things surrounding the newly freed crystal empire that we do not yet understand, and may never comprehend after its liberation, one of those things is the cause of its destruction, King sombra, whose birth, rise to power, and motive are shrouded in mystery, a shroud that many are now trying to pull back.

Some say that sombra was once a regular unicorn, hollowed out in foal hood and infested with malignant spirits who fed off the fear and misery of his slaves.

Some say that he was a wicked thing that discovered forbidden magics and used them to enact his foul desires.

And some say, in a quieter voice than the others, that he was a warlock, a magician locked into a contract with a God, acting out the wills of his patron for an unknown boon or end goal. But that's obviously the most false of these theories. Because no alicorn would ever make a Pact with him, and alicorns were the only Gods that existed, right?

…right?

Well, i suppose it doesn't matter what lies beneath that mysterious veil, because that's not what this story is about, no, this story is about an umbral unicorn and his adopted daughter, the fact that said daughter just so happens to be the alicorn heiress to an empire he once ruled means nothing.

Until it does

So, I got blasted by some mages in my world, and now I'm in a completely new one. I'm something called a 'kirin', and I've lost my opposable thumbs. Surprisingly, it wasn't a polymorph spell either! My magic has gone completely wack. I burned down a forest. And apparently I'm the first ever Kirin to have alicorn magic, which sounds awesome right? Well, not when you're constantly combusting into flames! I never wanted this! And for some reason these ponies keep treating me so nicely. Even after I keep screwing everything up. How hard is it to act like normal for once in my life?

What? There's nothing wrong with me! Please don't send me back...

"Sup nerds, you thought I was gone for good? Of course not! I'm me, I'm perfect! No one could ever defeat me!"

"But didn't Gohan kill you?"

"Shut up, Nappa! In any case, I'm here to cause some mischief and fun, so that means running circles around Rainbow Dash, melting Twilight's brain, and making Rarity cry. I'm just jumping at the opportunity..."

Hey-o, it's me, ya boy, Chill, don't take this story seriously it's for fun. If you don't like it, then please get on your knees AND SUCK MY D-

When Shining Armor invites Sweetie Belle to go with him on a day trip to the Crystal Empire, she finds herself developing romantic affections for the handsome stallion! How can he tell the poor filly that there can never be anything between them without hurting her feelings? He'd better figure it out soon, because her crush on him is growing rapidly!

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, a split occurred, controlled from the shadows by a powerful villain. But the wise ruler Twilight Sparkle stopped the villain and ruined his plans, paying a very high price.
Not long ago, after the reunification of disparate pony races, the villain returned again, and new heroes led by the ancient ideals of friendship are ready to confront evil.
Will they cope with the difficulties that have arisen, or will Equestria lose its harmony forever?

King Sombra isn't totally destroyed by the Mane Six's blast in Canterlot, but he's banished back to the Frozen North and is severely weakened. Determined to take revenge, he's eventually imprisoned by Princess Celestia and has a choice to make: reform himself to use his magic for good, or be turned to stone.

Takes place during Season 9, just after Sombra's defeat. Also assumes you've seen Season 9 so beware of spoilers!

2/18/2023 - This made it to the featured box on the day it was posted I'm SHAKING??? I'm so grateful aaaaa

3/6/2023 - Featured again!!!

A little celebration never hurt anyone, did it?

This is, I think, the first EaW fic to have Posada as a main character; it is also, I think, the first fic to have two characters from Tobuck (Wallnut Drive and Rose Rain) featured in it. Huzzah.

Written in an evening because I was bored.

Important: this takes place in the Equestria At War universe. Equestria At War is a mod for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, be sure to check out their Discord and Reddit if you're not familiar with it. They also have a group on this site: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/212917/equestria-at-war

Cover art made by putting the in-game portraits of Wallnut Drive, Rose Rain, Posada and Skystar next to each other.

It wasn't Eric's fault he hit the alien with his truck. How was he supposed to see a dog-sized horse walking down the highway in the pouring rain? His life would've been simpler if he just left the animal like any other roadkill. But in his injured delirium, the horse spoke.

This accident soon ends with an intimate personal knowledge of just how dangerous magic can be. An ancient rises, tied to a mysterious tome the pegasus was protecting on the night of the accident. A malevolent force grows within those pages, whispering louder and louder about the cleansing flame. But without the spells inside that cursed tome, Eric's humanity will be gone forever.

He has no choice but to master the words of power contained within, before his life is turned to ashes around him
