She could've been many things after leaving Canterlot High. A baker, a comedian, a singer, a professional party planner.

Yet instead, Pinkie chose another path in life. A road nobody thought she would ever travel. For Pinkie Pie, being a police officer is almost second nature to her.

Written for the June 19th short story Writeoff Group event using the prompt "A Matter of Perspective".

"This story is why Schnapps is a bad idea." -- Bradel

A hot dog vendor from New York gets teleported to the market square of Ponyville. And the person behind it? Doesn't care at all.

(Why did I do this?)

He is Steel, he is Sword. A blade forged in the fires of a hell with no equal. But, he is also a Scabbard, the sheath of a weapon meant to protect. For him, he will become, no matter the cost, a Hero of Justice, to save all he can. This is the Sole Emotion he has.

However, that is second to his desire. For he seeks something greater than being a hero, he searches till the end of his days for the blade that he is meant to be with.

He searches for his lover.

He searches for his Saber.

And nothing, not in any land, world, or realm. Will stand between him, his ideals, or the one who will always wait for him. So it doesn't matter if he is brought into this new world, it doesn't matter if it is no longer humans he will be saving. As long as he can save as many as he can while on his endless search, that is all he can ask for.

Everything happened at once, after the defeat of Discord, it all seemed peace would reign. However, as the Canterlot Wedding was preparing for its event within a few days, the Crystal Empire appeared. Then, Tirek escape a few hours afterward. Suddenly, different villains began to pop up everywhere all over the nation. With the Equestrian forces, heroes, and Princesses spread out to try and keep back the villains, Canterlot City was overtaken by the Changeling forces.

All hope seemed lost, surely this was the beginning of a slow and painful death for Pony Civilization.

Until, in the midst of fires within the once proud city of Yanhoover, a strange being appeared.

A Fate/Stay Night crossover with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This Shirou Emiya is from the first of the routes, the Fate route, with few elements of the recent Unlimited Blade Works anime included. And really, don't Dislike for the pairing alone, that's just cruel.

After a freak accident, Princess Celestia finds herself in a whole new universe. As she seeks a way home, she is captured by none other than Team Rocket.

Welp.

Now on TV Tropes.

Mirror just wants to have some fun. She thinks moving to Manehattan is just the thing, lots of new ponies to meet, good food, great nightlife scene, random interdemensional portals opening in the middle of the street, the works!

At first she thinks it's a bit strange having a human embassy crop up a few blocks away from her apartment, but when she's one of the select few invited to be the first ponies to visit the planet Earth, it's hard to refuse.

When she does get to the other side however, she finds the roles have been reversed. She's the strange one, and even a little famous as the first extraterrestrial ever encountered by humanity.

Everyone knows how fairy tales go: We meet a dumb protagonist who does something foolish. Things go wrong. We learn a moral.

Clearly, fairy tale authors have never met Clyde Pie.

In this collaboration, a number of your favorite ponyfic authors take a fresh look at classic fairy tales, and what we can learn from the wisdom of an eminently sensible earth pony. (This is an open collection; submission rules can be found here.)

Losing a one-sided fight, Equestria has been invaded by their long time enemies, in hopes of breaking open the oyster to harvest the pearl within. The Elements are useless against an army. The Royal Guard are inferior in both numbers and equipment.

As a desperate last move, the princesses ask for help from a general who definitely has the power to turn the tide of this war. Thinking that this was all just a prank, he sends "help" in the form of wrecked enemy vehicles and a single construction dozer that got mixed in.

Crossover with C&C Generals ZH

What would you do if you've gone where no mare has gone before, and have no idea how to get back?

Rainbow Dash found herself alone in a strange, magicless world governed by entirely different natural laws than Equestria, ruled by a race who thought themselves the only sentient species in the universe...

My Little Pony, Friendship Is Magic, as told by Dusk Shine, Princess Celestia's asocial, conspiracy theorist, and unrepentantly punny student. An AU fic that both expands upon and diverges from canon. Follow the misadventures of Dusk Shine as he navigates the waters of social interaction and friendship with varying degrees of success, follows the show pretty closely at the start, but as the story progresses it will drift further from canon.

Twilight's friends may not be immortal like her, but she's not going to let a stupid little thing like death get in the way of friendship. Now the ruler of Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle discovers the truth of life after death: More life. Armed with this new knowledge, Twilight ventures from Canterlot Castle to find and befriend the reincarnations of her oldest friends, whether they like it or not.
