For a time, it looked as though Earth would be completely subsumed by Equestria. The magical barrier advanced to overtake the entire planet, consuming all it touched. Then suddenly, it stopped.

Earth and Equestria have combined into a strange hybrid-world, two different planets in one. In the heartland of the United States, things are beginning to return to normal for the humans there as it seems the threat of imminent ponification has passed. But for the ponies of the Conversion Bureaus, it means something else entirely...

Never trust a fake smile at a Bureau when you drink the potion.

When you've lost your family, your history and even your humanity, what do you have left of who you were? Timmy and Fred are newfoal orphans placed under the care of Clean Slate. When Hearth's Warming Eve comes around and the little newfoals remember Christmas, how can anypony tell them that Santa Claus doesn't come to Equestria?

P.S. This story is partly based on real events that happened during the Great Irish Potato Famine of the late 1800's.

The lives of ordinary people are sometimes crushed when they unwittingly pay the price for the conflicts of others. Jeffrey is a twoper who has everything going his way, until that fateful day when he and his girlfriend are at the wrong place and at the wrong time. In an instant Jeffrey's future is shattered beyond repair. Then a stranger helps him realize that he still has time to live out one last dream.

Caramel wasn't always a Changeling, but he's going to become one. And he's going to do it for the sake of his very special somepony.

In 2051, mankind arrived at the pinnacle of their existence. With Humans spread out amongst the Solar System, revolutionary technology without limits in our grasp, and the promise of an even brighter future provided us with unhindered aspiration for our species... but how high can we truly be able to fly before our wings simply fail us? Maybe we received our answer in April of that same year. A depression in the fabric of local space-time, known as the Friedrich Singularity, is consuming Earth. One day, nothing of Earth will be left due to this, and it's a race against time in order to find a solution for the survival of the Human race.

On the other side of the Singularity, another parallel universe exists, and so, a parallel Earth. However, this Earth is significantly different from ours in every way, right down to the sub-atomic structure of the most basic of things. On this parallel Earth lives several multitudes of sentient species, ranging from the battle-hardened, wise and honor bound Gryphons, the calm and reserved Zebras, the often greedy, but experienced and wise dragons, and lastly, the mysterious, peaceful, intelligent Ponies. Understanding the magnitude of this event, the Ponies offer their advanced mastery of what they call, "magic", to the Humans, and together, the situation was quickly assessed. However, the truth is not always what you want to hear.

As it turns out, our atomic structure doesn't fair well with magic, and the immediate solution is simple: With a magically tolerant body, such as a Pony's, the human in question may be able to live another day in a magical environment. And so, conversion was the likely plan for Humanity's future, if another solution could not be found. However... Humanity always seems to find loopholes.

Martin Industries, a multinational corporation who has been at the forefront of scientific innovation for over 30 years, is now on the brink of something extraordinary: something that could redefine the survival of the Human race, rendering conversion obsolete. But what does this mean for the billions of men, women, and children who payed the price, their Humanity, in order to ensure their continued existence? Some believe that it would be best if this technology was never allowed to see the light of day, and both Humans and Ponies alike are willing to die in order to protect what they believe is the will of a higher power. But, within this conflict, one question will arise, and it may or may not be able to be answered:

Were the hooves worth it in the end?

Based off of the Conversion Bureau universe, this story explores the neutral ground between both Human and Pony. Not very traditional TCB, as the ponies tend to be a lot more, "human", if you catch my drift. They aren't "Friendship Bots" or warmongering animals. They are, to put it simply, moral, sentient beings, just like Humanity tends to be. But they can also be just as horrible as the worst criminal mastermind that you can think of. If you're new to this kind of fan-fiction, do not fear, I go pretty in-depth explaining my universe and Conversion itself. Criticism is always welcome, especially as I am trying a new style of writing.

Writing a letter couldn't be any harder for Twilight Sparkle. Not just because the content was difficult and emotionally painful, but she was rapidly losing blood.

During a ravaging war, she learns the most important lesson on Friendship and she writes her last letter to Celestia.

Regina, the little human daughter of two newfoal parents, finally decides to get ponified...with unusual results.

Written for The Conversion Bureau Event Nine: Seaponies

Earth pony, pegasus pony, unicorn; a human entering a Conversion Bureau will end up as one of these three pony forms. But there is a secret provision, to which all Bureaus must adhere utterly, should one unlikely but intolerable transformation somehow occur. The absolute monarch of Equestria fears nothing from the human world. Nothing save this. Lillian Fogarty wanted only to be a simple pony in Equestria. Sought by the combined forces of Earth's corporate government and the might of Equestria itself she finds herself an abomination in both worlds, her survival almost certainly an impossibility.
