Celestia's done the math: Prince Blueblood has cost the kingdom several billion bits in unpaid tabs, half-eaten cake and other expenses. She orders him to get a job to start to pay off his debts. And the only pony willing to hire him? The current manager of Sugarcube Corner: Ms. Pinkie Pie.

Uh oh.

This story is Royals-verse canon, but also works as a stand alone. No previous knowledge of Royals or sister story Rum Punch is necessary, it just adds some color.

After years of trying, Scootaloo finally discovers her special talent.
It's the worst thing that ever happened to her. She'll have to leave Rainbow Dash and all her friends behind as she's forced to go off and learn about her new talent... and then it gets worse.

The sequel, Choices Legacy, is now available.

As always, I adore getting comments about the story; the more specific and prolific the better -- negative comments included. Your comments help make my future stories better.

Many thanks to my team. I couldn't have done it without them.

21XX...

A dark period in the world's history. With the rise of Reploids, society was thought to enter a new golden age...until the rise of the Mavericks. Driven mad by viral infection - or simple greed and rage - these Reploids become a drastic threat to the world peace...and the conflict between them and the Maverick Hunters would tear the world apart.

However, a shining light of hope remains in Dr. Light's final creation...Megaman X. With his adopted pony daughter at his side, he shall-

Wait, what was that last part?

Raiden has fought his whole life. To survive. For revenge. For justice. For duty. No matter how many battles he fights,nothing can prepare him for this mission. Pulled into the Magical Land of Equestria, by the Princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle, Raiden is asked to infiltrate the Changling territory, to save Princess Celestia.
However, not everything is as it seems, as Raiden discovers a threat from the distant past, that not only endangers Equestria, but the whole world.

We came to this world of barbaric savages with simple goals. To make its lands part of Her Majesty's Kingdom, and those who would not accept the blessing of becoming her subjects would be swept aside. Those who did accept being converted, would have the savage killed, but they would live on, as part of our Kingdom. They should thank us for this heavy burden we take delivering wisdom and knowledge, and free them of their many heathen ideas. So why don't they?

(MADE IT TO POPULAR STORIES!)

Equestria has appeared on Earth. But instead of joy and knowledge; it has bought death, pain and destruction. Who is responsible for this? The Solar Tyrant Celestia.

She has professed kindness, tolerance and compassion. But backed up by the point of a sword, kindness becomes cruelty; tolerance becomes intolerance; and compassion becomes hate.

But there is hope. the Selenian Rebellion. Composed of beings from Equestria and Earth and led by Princess Luna, they are all united by a single cause - stopping the Solar Tyrant and restoring peace to the joined worlds.

Can this group succeed or will Earth and Humanity be trampled under the iron-shod hooves of Celestia's military?

Author's Notes: I would like to thank Restless Coyote from Space Battles for suggesting the the title to this story.

Tyler Reece, a Paleontologist, who has lived a rather boring life, fins the discovery of the century. An evolved Tyrannosaurus Rex. Larger, meaner, and more predatory. It dwarfs the previous incarnation, by becoming slightly larger than a Spinosaurus, and having the weight to match. Of course there was only so much to gauge from the bones, but of course, while Tyler is trying to bask in his short glory, he is taken to a far off world.

However, luckily for Tyler he's not defenseless, as he controls the body of the most powerful predator in that world: the world of Equus.

A world filled with colorful....talking ponies....who are herbivores....Yep....

As a veteran of the first two Conventions of Manes, Bishop Scribble had an obligation to show up to the Third Convention and help the Polytheists decide how to worship yet another alicorn. She would rather not attend, but at least her apprentice is excited.

This story is a sequel to The Man With Two Names

For the past year, Jeremiah Walker has wandered Equestria in the company of Trixie Lulamoon, seeking atonement and passage back to his own world, unsure if he will ever find it.

For the past year, Loose Leaf has investigated the events surrounding the human’s disappearance. He releases a full report of that night’s riot, a story Ponyville isn’t quite ready to hear.

For the past year, Spike has built a fledgling movement in Ponyville, fighting for non-ponies’ rights to citizenship. The tales of prejudice in Loose Leaf’s report invigorates the campaign, but draws opposition to the growing cause.

Now that the report is circulating across Equestria and their cover blown, Walker and Trixie march onward to the newly emerged Crystal Empire, following the only lead he has back home. There he runs into the frantic Twilight Sparkle, the pony who urged along his departure from Ponyville, and now needs his help to save this kingdom. Alongside her is Spike, who recognizes the human is just the figure his movement needs.

When Fluttershy finds a human in her backyard trying to eat one of her chickens, she and a majority of the residents of Ponyville only want this dangerous creature as far away from their town as possible.

After a less than stellar first impression, Derpy Hooves and the human struggle to quell the rumors surrounding his diet, and convince the townsfolk that he's harmless.

Will the human be able to make himself meek enough to coexist? Or will he be driven out of town with torches and pitchforks?

Each chapter is told from the perspective of a different pony.
