What does time mean for one that is timeless?

For the one named Galatea, it does not concern her much. For as long as she has remembered, she has been given a few tasks to carry out as Mother willed it - to observe this world, and learn from it, too. And she has been given all the time in the world to see it through, for the good of her land and people.

Or, perhaps, in some ways, it does matter. Time changes everything after all, including what one makes of it. And, just maybe, her purpose isn't so set in stone as she thought it was.

9.5/10 and 9.17/10 from the Reviewer's Mansion.

A standalone piece in the Spectrum-verse. TV Tropes page here!

Rated T and tagged sex for suggestive themes and precaution for later down the line.

Based off the character created by Jed R, and inspired by the fairy tale 'The Shepherd Boy', by the Brothers Grimm.

For Stellar Wind, the job of being a navigator for a human ship is hardly a dream job when you're a visitor from another world.

The fact that his employers are a shady smuggler crew does little to ease his worry. No sooner than after the ship leaves London, Stellar finds himself stuck on a ship with a ragtag group with questionable ethics and motives, with immigrant civilians on one end and a team of human SAS operatives, raiding the ship, on the other end.

The discovery of stolen prototype weapons, designed to wipe out an army without ever touching them, complicates things, and tensions reach a breaking point when war breaks out, and the traitorous PER begin their attack.

But who is the person in the night, the man or stallion who converts? Is he friend, or is he foe? As far as Stellar Wind is concerned, fanatical ponies and traitorous humans are no friends of his.

Several crates of ponification potions, seven thousand rounds of ammunition, dozens of rifles and various small arms, four missiles, and three cannons.

A four-man-and-a-pony team, a smuggler crew of men and ponies, an Indonesian President, the Last King of Romania, a group of immigrants, a team of SAS operatives, a former Bureau Doctor, the PER and the Solar Empire.

"It's going to be a bloody holocaust"

Set in the greater universe that is the Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum, or the Spectrumverse for short.

Do forgive me for any mistakes. And if you like this, rate it up and tell me what made you like it. As for those who don't, well, do provide constructive criticism, it'll help me a lot.

The Timeline

Far, far in the distant past, where chaos reigns and monsters roam, the realm of Adlaborn thrives. Under the rule of its founder and guardian Sint Erklass, Adlaborn and its Reindeer inhabitants stand firm against all manner of threats from beyond - both natural and supernatural.

But the lives of its people, particularly one Anna Erklass, face irrevocable change when two mysterious foals are sent to its doorstep, with the power to shift the celestial bodies, and the task to lead Equestria in the years to come.

With danger both beyond and within Adlaborn's walls, the young Reindeer princess must deal with the changing of the times, as the fate and future of both Equestria and Adlaborn cross paths. And beneath the grounds, darker forces stir, clawing for the foals, and grow ever stronger.

Borrows elements from Disney's Frozen.

A distant prequel/companion piece for Joy to the Worlds - both can be enjoyed separately.

Co-written with VoxAdam, additional writing/cover art by Jed R, with ideas adapted from TB3 and TheIdiot, and proofread by DoctorFluffy

Set in the greater universe of SPECTRUM, though reading that is very much optional, and the story can be enjoyed as a standalone, independent piece.

I didn’t start the fire that burned in my father’s heart, nor did I even know what set off the spark. All I knew is that he burned with fury, and scorched all he touched.

Written as a panic fiction in a Quills and Sofas contest. The prompt was 'We Didn't Start the Fire, and it was written in 25 minutes, with 5 minutes to edit, where it placed 2nd! Though, there are very minor revisions. Big thanks to Seer, Red Parade, and Snow Quill for help with the descriptions! Also, huge thanks to Snow again for drawing the amazing cover art!

A nurse has seen it all. A combat medic has seen even more.

Princess Celestia sends her elite Household Battalion—"Celestia's Own"—south, far beyond the borders of Equestria, to break the slave trade and to free the oppressed. Medic Redheart, a young rookie among the Guard's hardened veterans, is with her Battalion every step of the way.

She's never told anypony her story. Until now.

A side story/prequel to my The Ponies in the Caves and A Story to Relate To, but reads independently.

This story is fantastic. There wasn't a single chapter that didn't give me chills or bring a tear to my eye. The way you describe the selflessness of the soldiers, and Redheart's unrelenting drive to save them, no matter the personal cost, was exemplary. I look forward to more of your work.

Has a Black Company feel to it with the medic POV. Great story so far!
