After a tragic accident, a human ends up in Lord Tirek's body, as part of an attempt to reform the villain after his recent escapades. While the hero of our tale is trying to make sense of his new surroundings, the rest of Equestria thinks that the most terrible threat that their world has ever seen is back...
And the powers that be are definitely not happy about it.

Severus Snape was known as many things. But right now, he was just confused.

"And just...what are you all supposed to be?"

As stars begin to disappear from the sky, a spacecraft of alien (non-human) origin slams into the Everfree Forest. The stage is set for Twilight and the rest of Equestria to uncover secrets their royalty has been hiding for thousands of years. Soon, they will take their place in a galaxy under siege.

Everyone has done it at some time. Made that wish upon a falling star, or otherwise gazed longingly with hope into the night sky. Though maybe, we've just been doing it at the wrong time.

Maxwell is a physicist, on his way to finally having his Ph.D, and getting tired of the seemingly minimal impact his work will have in the field as a whole.

That is, until he makes his wish.

Now he's in a bright world full of bright ponies. Also they can talk. And do magic. And fly.

Having hooves is going to take some getting used to.

The sequel to this story: Sweetie Belle and the Quest for Knowledge is now available!

When Sweetie Belle finds a mysterious artifact of a now lost civilization, how will she come to terms with the wealth of knowledge it provides? It says it can be ignored, it says it will never try to influence her, but can an artifact of such power really be so harmless?

Epilogue:
Thanks to Malefactory for editing.

Mort, also known as the Pale Pony (of Death), has been tasked to take time off from his rigorous duties of reaping souls. Seeking guidance, he is directed towards the town of Ponyville, to learn about the magic of friendship from Twilight Sparkle and her friends. All he needs to do is keep his true nature a secret. That shouldn't be too difficult...right?

For another excellent take on Mort, check out Sip's version!

Ponyville has never been a stranger to interesting events. But, when an unknown species, a human, shows up out of nowhere early one evening, things begin to take an unusual turn. Is his appearance just a coincidence, or is there more to him than anypony realizes?

Check out its sequel The Blessing and the Curse!

This story is a sequel to Welcome the Unknown

Nearly a year and a half ago, Discord ripped Matt from Earth to Equestria to use him like a battery while he slumbered in stone, biding his time. When the two finally came together, the mere human managed to outwit the Spirit of Chaos and put an end to his short reign.

Several months have gone by since then, and all things considering, Matt has made a decent life for himself. He has friends, a home, activities to help pay the bills, the usual. But on one particularly average day, something he never imagined he'd ever see again appears and – whether he realizes it or not – threatens to throw everything out of balance. Too bad it's only the first in a series of things to come. What does it mean for Equestria? More importantly, what does it mean for Matt?

Rated Teen for some language and a couple suggestive themes. Reading the first part is recommended, but references to what happened will appear here and there as the story goes so that you should be able to piece things together in case you decide not to check it out. If you do, I hope you enjoy it!

Cover art credited to IJAB. Go say hello!

The Doctor has lived a long life, and he's seen a few things.
He walked away from the Last Great Time War. He marked the passing of the timelords. He saw the birth of the universe, and he watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time, no space, just him. He has watched universes freeze and creations burn, he has seen things you wouldn't believe; he has lost things you will never understand. And he knows things: secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken, knowledge that would make parasite gods blaze.
But in 909 years of time and space, he has NEVER seen ANYTHING quite like where he just found himself.

Can a dragon from a back water planet truly master the ways of the strongest power in the galaxy?

Ok, so this thing is going to be the longest story I've written. By far. Hope I can keep your attention.
Rated teen for some gore and swearing.
