Sweetie Bot goes through life on a series of commands and prompts, and all is well. She has plans with her fellow Crusaders today. Surely nothing can go wrong.

An experimental piece, and an entry into Science Fiction Contest III.

"The first time I came back, I thought it was a miracle. By the fifth or sixth time, I knew it was a curse."

Death is a reasonable fear, but it is also a constant reassurance. A promise that no matter how bad things get, they will one day end.

That promise was broken, leaving Rainbow Dash to pay the cost.

A very last minute entry for the 2024 SciFi Contest III.

Special thanks to ScreamQueen and Rb for prereading and valuable feedback.

General content warning: Some depictions of blood, death, and debilitating injuries, but no graphic descriptions. Some existential horror.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*

The Succubus Equestrian Pony Kingdom went on a brink of collapse, betrayed by the armies of Vampires, Werewolf Lycans, Kitsunes, Minotaurs, Gryphons, Zebras, Caribou, Changelings, Dragons, and the others. Preventing a possible extinction, the Council has chosen some of the Succubi members including the Princesses to safety as the Light and Dark Mage transport the members somewhere more hidden and promising to protect them. 1500 years have passed after they teleport to safety, the remaining Succubi began to rebuild their Kingdom. That is until they were discovered by some human agents, but they offer an exchange program plan and repopulate solution. Since then, a graduate boy is relocated to another place, where he has to deal with a lot of sexy Succubi living in his new home and a private Kingdom Academy.

Note for extra tags; Death, adventure, crossover, and possible harem/herd cause why not.

A clerical error in the Registry of Mortals sends an unwitting human to a strange land. It wouldn't be so bad, if the ponies there weren't out for his blood.

Literally.

A little twist on the myth that unicorns were hunted for their fantastical powers.

The long-awaited crossover between Pony.exe and The Iron Horse: Everything's Better With Robots! co-written by respective authors Blue Blaze {COMET} and The Hat Man.

Twilight Sparkle: Once a magic student in Equestria, now trapped as a program running on a college student's computer. She just wants to go home.
Turing Test: A robot pony whose primary directive is to make friends. She wishes she could be more like her organic friends.
They're about to get their wishes and become closer than either of them had ever expected...

Edited by GenerousGhibli and E3gner; Cover art by Colby Green.

David Carrian can't help but be attached to his amazing, very expensive computer. As such, when a virus sneaks onto his system without his knowing, he puts all of his focus and knowledge into removing the threat that is screwing with his memory and CPU.

But he hears something coming from his headphones. A quiet, almost unnoticeable voice cries out from behind the computer screen. On one hand, knowing that the virus is playing such sickening sound effects drives him harder to fix the problem. On the other however, he stops to think after he finally makes out the words said to him...

This tale follows heavily on the Slice-of-Life and drama side of things, but sways towards adventure halfway through the story. As of Chapter 13 (treehouse.exe V1.31), we have not reached that point yet.

Episodes beyond season three episode two are ignored.

This story is a sequel to The Iron Horse: Everything's Better With Robots!

Turing Test is a robot pony. She's also Equestria's Minister of Technology (it's a long story). She wants to bring ponies into the modern world, but it's an uphill battle against years of technophobia and prejudice among the Canterlot bureaucrats. But then she learns of the untold advanced technology in the world of humans and sets off on the ultimate field trip. Canterlot High just got a new exchange student...

A damaged robot pony, unlike anything ever seen in pre-industrial Equestria, is found in the orchard. Before it collapses, it says only two words: "Twilight Sparkle..."

Twilight fixes the mechanical mare and gives her a new directive: "Make friends." Now a robot must learn what it takes to be a good friend and, while she's at it, what it means to live...

Rainbow Dash is hiding something from her friends. She isn't who she says she is. She is Shadow Dash, daughter of King Sombra, but how would her friends react to that? I'm afraid. They would cast her away surely! You don't know that. They would hate her! They wouldn't do anything like that! They're your friends! They would probably banish her from Equestria! I can't risk it...

Inspired from the many stories I read that were incomplete having a similar idea of sorts to this story. Hopefully I finish the job, unlike so many others.
