King Sombra survived his defeat, but just. By the time he returned to form, Twilight became the newest princess of Equestria and the Crystal Empire was restored to its former glory.

He cannot take over Equestria the same way he tried before, but he has a card up his sleeve. Twilight won't see it coming, and Sombra might gain a powerful ally in the process.

And it will all begin...with a book.

Major props to InuHoshi-to-DarkPen for letting me use this. That artist is really good.

What if things had gone a bit differently for Twilight Sparkle? What if she had settled down, gotten married, had a foal? What if that foal had been the death of her? What if that foal had gone on to help forge a new Equestria, a new paradise for all within? What if, after all this, her daughter, an Alicorn, had settled on a throne alongside Celestia, and began to make the world perfect?

What if you didn't want to be perfect? What if you ran, hid in any scrap of shadow you could find? What if you lived your life from the outside looking in, watching others prosper while you starved? What if you could do nothing but watch as others disappeared, never to be seen again?

And then, after all of that...what if they found you?

This story is a sequel to Geoverse Part Four: The Farmer And The Spy

Geo was facing a jail term for killing a man in self-defence. So the last thing he expected was for Princess Celestia to save him from the slammer. All she wants in return is for him to share a conversation with her and her sister.

It is this conversation that makes Geo, and the Princesses, realise that love is there for everypony to enjoy - regardless of who they are.

Meanwhile, it would appear that love is springing up all over Ponyville...

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Part Five of the Geoverse, so I suggest you read the stories about it, starting with To Friend Is Human. This whole thing is basically a load of one-shot romance fics put together.

I switch between first and third person in order to provide narrative from another characters point of view.

This story is a sequel to Geoverse Part Three: To Live Is Human

This story will soon be rewritten from the ground up.

John has been in Equestria for a long time now, and he has made many friends. But he sees himself wanting to be more than friends with one of them. The thing is, does she feel the same way?

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Part Four of the Geoverse.

The story is told in first person from John's point of view.

I felt that the character deserved his own story. So, why not tell the story of how he finally gets his own special somepony? This thing is really just a surprise for the people who have read To X Is Human. The story does contain references to said trilogy, so if you haven't read it - you won't get any of them.

This story is a bit on the moody side. I actually rewrote the Epilogue three times because I wasn't happy with it. I'm still not, to be honest. But it'll do.

Rated Teen for swearing and mild sexual themes.

This story is a sequel to Geoverse Part Two: To Love Is Human

Geo has finally made it back to Equestria and married Twilight Sparkle. But as they prepare to enjoy their new life together, he learns something that makes him question his friendships. When a threat arrives in Equestria, he soon realises that even though someone doesn't act like a friend, it doesn't mean that they're not.

It is recommended that you read To Observe Is Science! by Crimson Star, as things happen there that will be referenced to in this story, and you might not get them.

This story is a sequel to Geoverse Prologue: The Last Of His Kind

While walking home from work one night, I was nearly killed by a careless driver; when I complained to him, I ended up getting more than I bargained for. After waking up in a strange new place, I found myself in the company of some unique individiuals — all of whom were ponies.

I soon found my counterpart in one of them, and love blossomed.

But Fate is a fickle mistress...

AUTHOR'S NOTES

This story is a sequel to Geoverse Part One: To Friend Is Human

After being shot and ending up in Equestria, Geo soon discovered that although having friends was great, falling in love with Twilight Sparkle was even better. However, fate conspired against him, and he ended up back in his own world. He thought that it was all a dream - until he received something in the mail which made him see otherwise.

With a renewed sense of determination, as well as the help of his best friend and a rather eccentric scientist, Geo begins planning his return to Equestria to be with the mare he loves again.

The character of Doctor Sorou is owned by my co-author, Crimson Star, and is used with permission.

Twilight Sparkle presents a collection of interviews, letters, essays, poetry and prose compiled over several years of her relationship with the human Bellerophon and his "herd", covering subjects as broad as Equestrian social taboos, comparisons of earth and Equestrian mythology, romance and the occasional recipe. Compiled by Twilight Sparkle, with foreword by Her Royal Highness, Princess Celestia.

(This is a bit of an experiment based on the worldbuilding concepts presented in AnonAuthor's Xenophilia [[NSFW] - caveat lector!], which intrigued me enough to want to take a closer look. It's likely you'll be very confused by this unless you read at least some of Xenophilia. Updates will appear as and when an idea pops into my head for a thing to add. And fair warning, some of this might come across very dry and dusty. Thank you academia! And thank you AnonAuthor for letting me have a go, and both AnonAuthor and AnonponyDASHIE for all the collab work they're doing. I'll make up for the dust by tossing in the odd piece of art now and then.)

Once a land dotted by patch-work nation states, Equestria was forged into a single nation by the Princesses Celestia and Luna thousands of years ago. The two Princesses were able to keep Equestria safe for a time, but Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon sent the fledgling nation back centuries. Equestria suffered greatly during those years and recovered slowly while being besieged on all sides. With Luna returning from her banishment and the reclamation of the old Crystal Empire, the Age of the Princesses began and Equestria entered a new golden age. Other nations have became uneasy of Equestria's new found strength. War looms on the horizon once again but Equestria is ready. We are ready.

This series follows the various members of the 20th ERAD and their achievements.

Equestria has always been a relatively peaceful land. This all changes in the 10th century after Luna's banishment, when technology of a long forgotten civilization are found in mysterious ruins.

This both brings prosperity...and revolutionizes warfare. One particular tool of war stands out-the tank. At first viewed as an oddity, it becomes the most important combat implement within the century, right next to the use of gunpowder weapons.

Equestrians are not the only ones to make these discoveries though-but this is the least of their worries. A cult of Nightmare Moon, a god of chaos, a rogue changeling swarm, a black-hearted king, and a mysterious entity only known as WG are among the challenges that the Equestrian military's newest addition will face.
