This story is a predecessor to Operation Homecoming

We are S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s: Scavengers Trespassers Adventurers Loners Killers Explorers Robbers. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, the most dangerous place on Earth, is our home. Radiation, killer mutants and deadly anomalies are just another day at the office -just another day in the Zone, as we say. We get by, day after day, by scavenging gear, trespassing and exploring in forbidden areas, seeking for new adventures, all on our own; we kill for money, loot or survival and sometimes rob each other. Well, not everyone does the robbing part, that would be the Bandits' job.

I named myself Strider. I am a free stalker and I do not even know what I am doing here, not that I care anyway.
My name is Vano. I'm a free stalker and one of Strider's rare friends. It's a peculiar predicament, trust me.
My name is Celestia. I'm a free stalker and just want to get back home. Well, I wanted. Maybe I still do.

This is our story.

First time writing a story ever. Constructive criticism and comments are appreciated and encouraged, just don't kill me in the process. Romance is a sub-plot thrown in there for exercise and because it's popular, apparently. I made the cover art. I was bored and felt like drawing something.

Thrust headlong into a strange new world, Solaire of Astora must make amends before he can continue with his mission. Unbeknownst to them all, a shadow from his past approaches.

The most screwed-over chapter in the Imperium's history. Cursed to die horribly, turn to Chaos, or both wherever they appear.

What would happen when one is finally able to rest after being placed in possibly the most peaceful and relaxing world in the known galaxy?

ATTENTION: Read this before opening the story!

Warning contains violence, but nothing on the level of cupcakes or any gore fics. Definitely not going that far, I'm just letting you know in case you aren't fond of violence.

The reason Celestia hates humans, it's a question I have mulled over for a while.

Usually in HIE stories Celestia harbors a strong hatred for humans. Usually a reason is not given, if it is given, it is obscure usually along the lines of ‘I know humans are evil,’

I now come forth with a reason, it is one word; invasion. This is a crossover between MLP and Warhammer 400000. Someone had mentioned in a HIE story that maybe the second a universe is thought up, it exists in a parallel universe. So I now present to you, The Battle for Equestria.

The rating may change if necessary.

If you read this, I would love a comment and a thumb. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Tell me why, I would be much obliged.

The Death Korps of Krieg, seeking atonement from their government's betrayal decades ago, they give their lives willingly in the everlasting fight against the enemies of the Imperium of Man. Averted by even their fellow Guard regiments, they show a high degree of fatalism and an unusual morbidity of habit. Yet they are highly disciplined, morally reliable and self-sufficient soldiers.

The 42nd Siege Regiment had been deployed on Kheltan III to reclaim a supply route that had been attacked by the Eldar. A simple enough task for the stoic men of Krieg. But an ion storm attack and an innocent experiment by an alicorn from another world can make even the easiest of tasks much more difficult.

A Warhammer 40K/MLP:FIM crossover

WARNING - THIS STORY(AND DESCRIPTION) CONTAINS SPOILERS PERTAINING TO THE GAME "DARK SOULS" AND ITS DLC "ARTORIAS OF THE ABYSS."

Karen, the Undead warrior named the Chosen Undead by the Primordial Serpent Kingseeker Frampt, successfully passed through time in order to spare Oolacile's Princess Dusk from the Abyss.

But at the moment of his defeat, the Father of the Abyss unleashes one last terrible sorcery - corrupting an entirely new world, in hopes of spreading his Abyss.

The Everfree forest, once dark and foreboding, is now dangerous and evil, teeming with corrupted creatures and Undead spilling out of a rift in the Abyss.

Karen, transported by Manus' final terrible spell, must find her way through Everfree in order to contain the Abyss one final time - and return to Lordran to link the Flame before it's too late.

In a bout of boredom, Twilight Sparkle decides to make a clockwork automaton. When she tries to give it limited sentience, enough to follow basic instructions, she is more than a little shocked to discover that she has inadvertently put the soul of a living being within...

Now, Twilight has to cope with a living machine.

A silly little thing, not meant to be taken too seriously.

Twilight Sparkle's imagination as a child was unbelievable, probably due to all those books. Which also make up the amazing Fort Book, Twilightopia's first stronghold against the country of Armor! With the help of Captain Smartypants and Private Cadence, General Twilight defends her fort against her brother's advancing army of one!
A tale of Twi's childhood told from her point of view.
