A human stays among ponies, mystifying them with his odd traditions and customs. It will be five years before Celestia and Twilight can send him back to his homeworld. Until then, Twilight wants to study him and have him experience pony culture. These are their stories.

A sidestory to I Against I, Me Against You.

Golden Heart's already messy family life just gets more complicated when her ex-husband Arcane Star suddenly and unexpectedly dies. Her ex-husband whose obsession with strange bipedal aliens that may or may not even exist had ruined their marriage. Now forced to face her own guilt, Golden's already strained relationship with her daughter Moon Dancer only worsens as everything begins falling apart at the seams.

Additionally, the more Golden finds out about Arcane Star's death, the more suspicious she becomes of the circumstances surrounding it. Between the huge cover-ups and impossible accounts of what really transpired, Golden Heart is forced to consider the possibility that Arcane Star's life's work wasn't just fantasy after all....

The Tree of Harmony, a sophisticated magitech intelligence built long ago during the glory days of the Crystal Empire, has recently been awoken from her beauty sleep again by anomalous activity. Much to the surprise of her leaf-like sensory arrays, the disturbance turns out to be Princess Celestia, who's finally figured out how to converse with Harmony directly in hopes of learning more about her.

When the Princess strikes up a conversation, she soon discovers that one of Equestria's greatest defense mechanisms is actually a rather interesting individual, and she's not been alone in the cave for all these years.

The idea is most definitely not my own, nor is it original, but it's one I could not resist writing! Special thanks to those who give me the inspiration to write crackfics

A thousand years is a long time to be cooped up in a city full of crystals.

Two years after the return of the Crystal Empire to the realm of Equestria, Flash Sentry was itching to board the next train to anywhere the first chance that he got. That chance came in the form of a reassignment when Equestria and the Empire merged their royal guard corps. He was shipped off to Canterlot to become one of Prince Blueblood's personal guard, a position of great honor and prestige. Flash was determined to perform his duties to the best of his abilities.

Of course, his best may not be enough seeing as how almost every mare on the planet wants to murder the good prince.

Snails has always been on the slow side, but is that because he's stupid, or is there more to this unusual pony? This takes place in a future setting where the dynamic ditzy duo has moved to Canterlot to make a living.

Flash Sentry returns home to Ponyville after a lengthy tour of duty in the Crystal Kingdom.

He is not alone.

One lonely night, Vinyl decides to use her old two-way radio to relieve the tedium. In doing so, she stumbles upon the voice of 'Adi,' who has a story so crazy Vinyl isn't willing to believe it.

But Adi is desperate, so desperate that Vinyl knows something really is wrong. Can her words help Adi overcome whatever is really happening? Even if she can instill hope in this stranger, is hope worth anything against seemingly insurmountable odds?

All Vinyl can do is sit before her radio and talk. Perhaps it will be enough.
