There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds. Wearing her sunglasses everywhere, even inside! It was time to invest in some silver, garlic, and a wooden stake.

Octavia Four-Strings Melody was a mare with many tastes for the finer things in life.

Fine wine, red of course.
Fine music, given that she plays it on her cello.
Fine parties, just like anypony born into a wealthy and noble family.
And like any other mare, a taste for fine stallions as well.

But when that taste goes awry, can Octavia find the stallion sent after her by Celestia herself, or will she be caught and burned alive just like the rest of her kind?

This story is a sequel to She's Having A Foal

In the final installment in the "My New Life In Equestria" series, Matthew Williams and Applejack are about to experience the trials, tribulations and joy of raising their newborn daughter, Clementine Rosemary Apple.

Chronicling close to twenty years, the two will find that no matter how much they think they learned before the birth, nothing will prepare them for the years that follow, as Clementine goes from a rambunctious filly, to a rebellious teenager.

This story is a sequel to My New Life In Equestria

Matthew Williams, a man who lived a somewhat normal existance, was thrust into an unexpected adventure, that ended in him having not only a new home, but a new life, as well. Happily married with the farmpony Applejack, life was once again retaining a sense of normality (as normal as a human with a pony wife can get). However, things spiral out of control, when Applejack found out that, against all odds, she is pregnant, much to the shock and surprise of everypony. Now, the couple must prepare for the coming birth, which will test not only their relationship, but their sanity as well.

NOTE: Reading of the original story is required.

Matthew Williams, a citizen of New York City, leads a pretty good life, an alright job, a nice place. Sure, he has dreams and aspirations like the normal humans of the earth, but he was rather content at the moment. That all changes, when six ponies drop right on his head, and soon finds himself in a variety of situations that will spin his life in all different directions.

Rated PG-13 for Language, Violence, Mild Crude Humor, and Some Sexual Content.

Two passengers on a train ride toward an uncertain future. One is a pony. The other only pretends to be.

After a spell changes your gender, you have to learn how to cope with the sudden changes, but at least you don't have to do it alone.

No seriously, this person helped me out so much! Go thank them!

When a human arrives in Ponyville, Applejack takes her in. She slowly begins to realize why she wants to protect this girl.

Wow! I want to thank everyone who has given the time to read the story and all the wonderful comments! Thank you all so much! You don't know how much all your comments, likes, and favorites means to me!

Okay I should probably clarify, that even though I wrote girl, that she is an adult. And not adopted.

Hello. My name is Adam Jones, yeah you probably never heard of me. I'm UKSF, pathfinders to be exact and now military liaison between here and home, well I say home, here is now my home. For now anyway. Originally I was stepping down from the pathfinders after my last training exercise in Cyprus. Which then lead to me being offered a job working a very simple security liaison role paying very generously, plus brilliant benefits. They neglected to mention I would be working for the Bermuda project.
Yes that one, the one where the portal is to Equestria. Now introductions aside I can begin to tell my tale of my experiences in Equestria.

Rated Teen for some sexual humour and scenes in which characters have sexual relations. NO CLOP.
Gore tag for some scenes of mild blood and violence.

One Shot story. For real this time.

An AC-130 appears and unleashes hell on some changelings, varying from 25mm to 105mm! What else did you expect? A rainbow beam would wipe them out? HA. Sit back, shut up, and read it.

It's damn AC-130, why would you not?

The Re-Made chapter takes a more serious tone to the situation. Whether you think it was an improvement to the first is upon you to decide.
