Celestia, Luna and Discord. Three ancient beings in equestrian history. However why is Celestia and Luna princesses and not Queens? Also why did Discord conquer Equestria?

The answer to these questions have the same answer. One Mare, one Alicorn, their Mother Lauren Faust.

I really shouldn't have picked up that medal

A Special Displaced Tale

Now uncancelled.

Chris and Keon are two zoology majors that get separated from their class after following what Chris believed to be an undiscovered species of bird, during a trip into the Amazon rainforest.

Finding themselves stuck in a pit, they discover an ancient ruin adorned with murals and statues of what they believed to be ponies. They soon realize that the bird in question was the orchestrator of their fate, as they’re brought to what they are certain is their deaths.

Waking up, they are not only separated from each other, but in a new land entirely. Will they take this opportunity to learn about creatures only ever seen in legend, or will they be too busy being studied themselves?

Rated teen for sexual themes, crude humor, mild drug use.

The Canterlot Caverns are a strange and enigmatic place, untouched and forgotten by pony-kind for centuries. So when a strange metal object is unearthed in their depths, it's up to Twilight Sparkle and Lyra Heartstrings to discover the many secrets it holds.

Together, the two of them will have to do their best to understand the remnants of an ancient civilization, and decipher what remains of Those Who Came Before.

And a special Thank You goes to The Sentient Cloud for allowing me the honor of continuing this great story after he retired from writing fimfictions.

As it turns out, this story is eerily similar to Lyra Heartstrings and the Hand of Man. Due to their similarity, I feel that it would be appropriate to give said story a mention.

When Princess Twilight Sparkle seeks to modernize Equestria, one of her first targets was the Equestrian rail network. Seemingly overnight, most lines were nationalized, the out of date steam locomotives were abolished and replaced by diesels and electrics, and unwanted lines were being ripped up left and right.

In a time where sentimentality could not stand in the way of progress, two colts will take it into their hooves to save an old line and keep its hundred ton secret safe from the scrappers torch. But they will soon learn that running a preserved railway is much more difficult than simply clearing the weeds and running trains.

With time of the essence and the scrappers torch an ever looming threat, hop aboard for an express run to adventure!

This story has received a complete overhaul, promising better storytelling, better character arcs, and more accurate railway practices!

This story is a sequel to Magic School Days

The Crusaders are returning for their second semester at Hogwarts. You can look forward to a nice quiet and relatively uneventful experience. Well as uneventful as magic allows, anyway.

Their presence has not already caused a wave of chaos that shook the magical world to it's core. You can't prove anything, so it never happen.

Many Railways in Equestria have been losing bits and customers because of Equestria's Nationalization plan, which would bring all the companies under one roof. One such Railway is looking for ways to keep its identity. And salvation comes not in the form of one, but two humans that have suddenly arrived. And with them, ideas, and concepts for running a railway. But get this, neither of them have ever run a railway in their lives!!! So, a railway is left with two options, one is to just be nationalized, the second is to take these humans in. and see what happens. (Ponies will be Anthro.)

June 22nd, 2016. After a year of restoration, Southern Pacific 4460 was once again steamed up and returned to the rails. She was on her way to Wishram, Washington to meet up with sister engine 4449. The rail fans scattered all along the mainline awaiting her for runby. 4460 was quickly approaching a blind curve ahead and straight into a tunnel. Strangely, the tunnel was glowing with multicolored flames. By then it was too late. She disappeared in the flaming portal. 4460 gets an interesting greeting from Ponyville when it's lassoed to a stop by Braeburn and a few others. Twilight Sparkle wondered if 4460 was one of the earlier and only pieces of human technology that exists in Equestria. She has Spike report 4460's arrival to Princess Celestia. Little did they know that Celestia had a secret connection to human innovation, including the locomotive. She relies on the Mane 6, a human, and some others, to drive the 4460 through the secret portal along a abandoned magic railroad that can connect to both worlds.

This story was inspired by 'The child in me by Zamairiac' it is a really good story you should check it out.
This story takes place after season 5.

A 19 year old named Alex Jones, who has had an unhappy child hood. His father died, his mother has ignored him for best part of his life.

Somehow Alex ends up stuck in Equastria in the body of a 5 year old Alicorn foal of the opposite gender. Where he might get a second shot at the childhood he has never had. That's if an overly clingy Luna who has always secretly dreamed of being a mother, doesn't end up making him wish he/she want his/her old life back.

What choice do you think Alex will make!

P.S. I did the cover my self.

This story is a sequel to The Stars Revolt!

A continuation of the universe established in "The Stars Revolt", and a reboot of "Hands", Andrew Shepherd is trying to live a normal life as the local Ponyville alien.

Unfortunately, he's in Equestria.
