After the War of the Ring and the return of peace to Middle-earth, Gandalf the White departs for Equestria to visit two old friends of his; specifically, a certain pair of alicorn sisters.

Yet he does not foresee that Equestria, like ponykind, has changed with the years since his previous visit, and so he is quite unprepared for what lies ahead. Can the Wizard endure the trials that this new journey will bring? Surely, but only if he makes a few more friends along the way.

Six more, to be exact.

(STORY IS UNDERGOING REEDITING)
“Demonstrate to the world, there is ‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a U.S. Marine.”
~Gen. James Mattis

Excited for his first deployment, young marine LCpl. Kevin Brooke and his fellow squad mates of Bravo Company 2nd Battalion 1st Marines, begin their journey through the Pacific Ocean with the U.S. Navy carrier fleet. On their second day of voyage, they encounter a large floating crystal, ending in a swift and devastating battle.

After awakening in an unknown world, four ships (‘USS’ Anchorage, Princeton, Spruance & Michael Murphy) must adapt to a land filled with talking ponies while finding their way back home. However, during their stay, Queen Chrysalis rebuilds her army to take on her new enemies, and Brooke slowly unfolds the depths of a forgotten past.

-November 24, 2014 -- Wow... I have no words what to say about this. Thanks so much for this achievement.

Loki stands on the verge of conquest. His enemies are scattered; their greatest weapons are powerless to stop him. Very soon the Tesseract will open the doorway to an alien army bent on overrunning the planet. Everything has fallen perfectly into place for Loki to bring humanity to its knees.

But when a twist of fate radically alters the events which unite the Avengers, the impending battle for Earth is cast into a little world, an equine world. Now a group of remarkable yet dysfunctional individuals must learn from six colorful ponies that the greatest of teams are forged by the power of their friendships.

A German Panzer column during world war 2 gets pulled into Equestria where they stumble upon the crystal empire. Meanwhile, Equestria's hostile northern neighbour, The Gryphon Empire, is gearing up for war. Will the Germans be able to turn the odds in Equestria's favour?

The reign of Morgoth in Arda is over. He has been defeated by the Host of Valinor and the Valar have bound him once more in the chain Angainor and cast him through Doors of Night into the Void. There he has drifted for many long ages, pondering his deeds and his defeats until Ilúvatar comes and offers him a chance at redemption. Softened by ages in the endless Void, Morgoth accepts this chance at freedom. He is given a new body and sent to a new world with the task of learning the values he has shunned for so long. In this new world, under the watchful eyes of Equestria's Valar, the Dark Lord will come to realize that there are yet things greater than the power of darkness.

Also yes, I understand that there's no "e" in Silmarillion, it's a pony pun. Sil-mare-illion. Geddit? GEDDIT?

Amidst the Destruction and the Chaos, The Blood and Tears, the Hatred and Loss, A Legionary finds a glimmer of hope, happiness and redemption in Ponyville...

But the Question is...

How Long can he stay in this happy and peaceful place?

A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away

STAR WARS
It is a time of great turmoil and civil war in the Emprie.
After the death of Emperor Palpatine the once mighty empire that spanned across the galaxy is now in turmoil divided among the various warlords who would rather fight amongst each other than serve the greater good of the empire. However one has emerged among the ranks to bring knew hope to this once glorious civilization. A chiss officer who's skills and intelligence has helped him rise to the rank of Grand Admiral has returned to the known universe as now commands the Star Destroyer Chimera which is now posted near the horseshoe sector. But it will take a great deal of the skill and intelligence and a great deal of magic in order to "persuade" these warlords to re-join the Empire.

A "Ponified" version of the classic motion picture. I've seen the other fics of this movie, but wanted to write my own.

The Mane Six are summoned to a mysterious island to sign off on a special theme park being built there by the Manehattan mogul, Applejack's Uncle Orange. With the CMCs in toe as well, they find themselves in a biological preserve where super genetic science has resurrected the great extinct creatures, the dinosaurs. The ponies are skeptical yet enthralled by the giant creatures until Derpy Hooves with schemes of her own shuts the park down, and the dinosaurs escape. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash become stranded in the park with the CMCs, while Twilight and Fluttershy struggle to turn the system back on and save their friends. It's an adventure in friendship 65 million years in the making.

A fanfic based on the movie, rather than the novel. I've added some original parts as well.

Having failed to reach Davy Jones' Locker with the rest of his crew, Captain Hector Barbossa finds himself stranded within a hell many times more terrifying; a land infested with magical talking horses and little baby dragons. Despite the odds being stacked against him and the inhabitants of Ponyville at his back every step of the way, he vows to return to his own world and finish the quest he started.

If only fate did not have a new adventure in store for him. An adventure that could very well change the fate of Equestria and the Caribbean seas forever...

When Twilight Sparkle is kidnapped by pirates, Princess Celestia and the other elements have no choice but to put their trust in an infamouse pirate captain and his crew in order to get her back. How will the Mane six fare on the high sea's and what happens when a certain cyan mare falls for the captain? Join the Elements as they embark on an adventure filled with action, romance and forbidden magic that could shake Equestria to it's core.

One of my all time favorite fics.
