King Sombra’s dark influence was obliterated by the Crystal Heart, and the villain is well and truly dead. But when he attempts to steal the afterlife of an innocent victim, a human spirit is left hurtling towards Equestria, where this unfortunate soul is revived into the only vessel available: the reconstituted body of King Sombra himself.

Thus, a cheerfully oblivious alien is crammed into the form of the most evil and malicious being Equestria has ever known. Not that Shining Armor and Cadence know this, of course. As far as they are concerned, the King is back and he’s lost his fricking mind.

Pinkie doesn't tell ponies about Pinkamena and Surprise. The doctors said that they were bad for her, that they were a disease, but she disagrees. Sure, Pinkamena's a bit of a grumpy-pants, but she's still a great friend! She's often the voice of reason to counter-act some of the other two's crazier ideas, after all. Surprise, on the other hand, is a great prank-player, and always up for some fun. She's more like Pinkie, only more hyper. Both are great fun to be around, and they get on well.

Thing is, she knows that if she told ponies about them, then they would be dragged back to the hospital. And then be 'treated' again. None of them want that. Because of this, not even her best not-in-head friends know about them. The three of them have, for years now, been careful enough to keep the existence of Pinkamena and Surprise secret.

This has, of course, gone out the window now that Twilight is hammering on the door after overhearing one third of a conversation, with no sign of anyone else talking.

Hints of F/F shipping inside. Nothing will actually come of it here, though. Maybe in a future story.

It's amazing what one could find in the Golden Oaks Library.

Seriously, on more than one occasion, Twilight had found texts and tomes that had no right to be in a rural town library. Once again, she's made a particularly curious find.

She really wishes she hadn't.

Dragged from her home by shadowy forces beyond her understanding, now Twilight must survive in a mysterious, hostile world. A dangerous world, filled with dark magic and bizarre creatures.

Kind of like Equestria, really.

Now Twilight must uncover the secrets of this world and find out why she was lured into the world and how she might return home.

And, hopefully, not be eaten or go mad in the process.

(This is a MLP:FiM/Don't Starve crossover. You probably won't need to have experienced Don't Starve to enjoy this story, but it probably helps. This is a standalone story, and no connection to or bearing on my other stories. Enjoy.)

For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?

Anon In Equestria Story

The year is 1943 and World War Two rages on. Axis forces are starting to exhaust their supply's of iron. In a desperate attempt to get back in the war Germany launches an attack to conquer Greenland. Seeing Nazi Germany's aggression's Canada launches a mission to defend Greenland from the German invasion. After fighting over the Arctic for iron deposits, Anon a 24 year old RCAF pilot awakens in northern Equestria after being frozen for four million years. The only items that can remind him of humanity is himself and his beloved spitfire. (The plane of course.)

This story by all means is not historically accurate. The only things that are accurate in this story 'history wise' is the information given for the Supermarine Spitfire MK VB. As for physics and other sciency stuff I try to explain why things that should kill you don't.

A normal day was all it took.
A simple failed prototype, a missed experiment.
There was an explosion, and I woke up. I don't really know what happened between those two events, but I'm fairly certain I shouldn't have awoken in a small, dark box.

I'm scared.
