Cloud Strife finds himself face-to-face with the truth about his past - both the lies and his own failures. In what can only be a surreal dream fueled by the Lifestream and his Mako Poisoning, he allows himself to be pulled away deep into the Lifestream's green glow. What he isn't counting on, though, is being dropped into a world of odd, pastel quadrupeds the likes of which he's never seen before, his memories shattered and missing.

(Final Fantasy VII x My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.)

NOTES:
*Takes place between Seasons 2 and 3, as that's when I initially began writing this piece.
*Alternate Universe tag is present because this story invalidates all Trixie-related episodes except Boast Busters.
*Gore tag is present mainly for one scene with minimal description that may still push a boundary or two. This is not a Gore-centric story.

This story is a sequel to Stardust

Times are changing for Equestria as Twilight’s return brings with it news of people and cultures from beyond the peaceful world everypony knows. Aid and volunteers are freely offered to help the besieged humans of Earth because every Equestrian knows that’s what good friends do. Unfortunately, making friends can also have the unintended consequence of making enemies.

When the monsters besieging the humans strike at Equestria with a level of brutality not seen in over a thousand years, the cry for help is sent to all the kingdoms of the world. Honored allies step forth to fulfill ancient treaties and oaths. Enemies, old and new, bury their grievances. An alliance never before seen in Equestria will be created to combat the monsters from the void.

And because of these events, a grim but welcome sibling to the XCOM project is born.

(XCOM/FiM Crossover)
(Sequel to Stardust, which I recommend reading before starting this. Fortitude Amicitia and Broken aren't required reading but are supplemental to the storyline)
(Gore tag for blood and violence)
(Alternate Universe tag because of the divergence from canon that Stardust has caused)
(Uses elements of Season 4)
(Coverart produced by the amazing Carnelian!)

(Complete with it's own TVTropes page as part of the Stardust continuity. Could use some updating!)

When Andrew wakes up in Equestria, he makes a rather large impact. Well, as large an a impact as a normal 20 something guy falling from about 20000 feet can make. Will he make friends in this strange but oddly familiar world? Or will the absence of his sister drive him closer to the edge? Strange things are happening in Equestria, will Andrew be able survive being at the center of them all?

This is my first story, so constructive criticism is always welcome.

I'm pleased to reveal the new cover art, done by the extremely talented Shadow Beam!

A close encounter with a category three Kaiju leaves Midsummer Night, a Mark-II Jaeger, in the inky depths of an unknown ocean. With no communications or navigation available, the pilots, Shane and Michael O'Connell, are well and truly out of their element.

Good thing they accidentally brought something with them to liven up the party,

Now with a Tvtropes page!

He was an average man in nearly every sense of the term, but his entire life is flipped upside-down when a push for a paycheck turns into something unexpected...something much more. Marooned on an alien world with no known way home, how will he survive a potentially-hostile environment? Afraid, ignorant, and alone, he will be forced to adapt and survive, or seek out help.

Rated T for strong language, use of alcohol, violence, and suggestive situations.

A/N: Yes, there is romance in this story. No, I'm not referring to one-sided romances. Instead, most of the story is going to show the developing relationships between Jamie and those close to him, and you'll join him as he slowly and painstakingly overcomes a lifetime of human culture and morals.

It was a few days after Pain's devastating attack on the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Half of the town was completely wrecked, but eventually Pain was stopped, and luckily there were no casualties.
This was thanks to Naruto Uzumaki, now hailed by the townspeople as ‘Hero of the Leaf’.
Things were really looking up for him, finally being respected, rather than shunned and hated by the citizens.
However, all this becomes meaningless when a mythical creature appears at his doorstep, and somehow kidnaps him into another universe.

Now a stranger in a world full of colorful ponies, Naruto tries to conceal his identity until he can find a way to get back home.
But with a millennium old evil soon making its return, he might find he plays a much bigger part there than just an unintentional visitor...

Please review after you read it! Constructive criticism is always welcome!

AU tag is there for a reason, even though it is not obvious at the beginning.

Many thanks to SkittlesJesus for providing me with (yet another) epic cover art!!!

Many thanks to my editor Viper Redbird!!!
The story is currently undergoing fixing of mostly grammatical and punctuational errors.

A strange pony warring a blood-red jacket and wielding a giant sword? Just another day in the life of a Ponyvillien.

Opening Theme:Chrono Phantasma

PS: Takes place after the events of Devil May Cry 4 and the original story-line. DmC has no relevance to this story.

Since their beginning, the ponies of Equestria have been protected from evil by the alicorn shield. But these protectors have made the grave mistake, of refusing to kill their enemies. Now this decision comes back to haunt them, as the once defeated demons of Equestria return with a vengeance. As well as some new friends to boot.

They need help, beings that are no strangers to the dance of death, and would take the life of a demon without a second thought. Beings that would protect them from the apocalypse by blade and bullet...

The time draws close for Equestria's grand finale.

(Rated 'Teen' for strong language, violence and gore.)

I can't give you anything special.
All I can offer to you is my story. Just a log of my time here, patchy, as it is.
I hope that's enough. Read on at your own free will, matters little to me.
I'm sorry, we haven't been introduced.

Nobody really likes to move, you leave friends and loved ones behind, familiar surroundings and move to someplace that is different from what you are used to. You have to learn the ropes all over again, make new friends and find your way around, not an easy or fun thing to do.

But what makes a move like that worse, is when it happens and you sleep through the whole thing, doubly so when you didn't plan said move.
