[CANCELED AS OF NOVEMBER 24, 2012] The Cutie Mark Crusaders have really done it this time. In yet another attempt to earn their cutie marks after hearing an adventurous guest speaker in class, they set out for the Everfree forest to search the old castle ruins. After the ground collapses beneath them, they find themselves in a mysterious cavern. The Crusaders soon discover a stallion who was turned to stone by a cockatrice. After taking him back to town, they manage to thaw him out with the help of Twilight Sparkle. The stallion, one Sir Buck "Buckshot" Apple, claims to be a resident of Ponyville... That is, the Ponyville of one thousand years ago. The Crusaders take him to Sweet Apple Acres to meet the current generation of Apples, as well as to give him a tour of modern-day Ponyville. Misadventures ensue as the time-tossed knight, now the oldest living earth pony in Equestria, shows everypony how the champion of the old school rolls, and attempts to find a place for himself in a world that's all too familiar, but all too different at the same time. Sir Buck must come to terms with the events his disappearance gave rise to, as well as how to relate with a family legacy one thousand years in the making.

Post Haste and Rainbow Dash have been with each other for three months and life has been great. Then, every coltfriend's worst nightmare happens. No, not an angry ex, how is that even possible?

The sequel to "New World, New Beginning." I suggest reading that first. Up to you, just saying...

A stallion by the name of Shadow Weaver, who has led a life of crime for quite a while now, ends up in Ponyville, where a certain mare comes along and causes his life to take a major turn... Possibly for the better.

*A million thanks to Inoeitall for making the cover art!*

We have traveled across a great distance, not one that can be measured or even fathomed. This place which we now are is one I would call silly, even to this day with much of its true face shown to me. Yet for all that inconsolable childishness there is something else here, something which fills me with dread. I fear that in the time since we arrived choices were made which harmed this world, some of which can never be undone.

All that I may do now is pray, and hope, that Pelor might forgive me for what I have done. For I, a cleric, a savior, a healer, have brought death to this world, to Equestria, and the actions ahead of me are the only ones that might save them. It is for them that I do this, and in the memory of those that are behind me. May my father of mercy grant me guidance, and my friends be at my side, as my tale reaches its end.

Octavia is a high-class pony. Fine alcohol is her wont, and uncouthness her intense chagrin. Such is her surprise to find herself lumbered with an insufferable oaf of a DJ pony. However, sometimes these situations work themselves into a satisfactory ultimatum all the same.

Justin's life on Earth sucked. Horrible job, horrible apartment, horrible lifestyle and no contact with anyone you could call a friend. When he winds up in Equestria, he's more than happy to stay. But things ain't so easy where the grass is greener...

A collaborative effort between me and my friend Beese.
And a thank you to DoctorBrony for being the final proofreader. (I tend to miss things)

(This is the alternate sequel to The Last Mage). Several decades have passed since the Earthens came and butchered the Dragons that attempted to invade Canterlot with their superior weaponry. The Main six are deceased, Jacob Lighthand is nearly sixty years old now, and he has a personal understanding of what Luna and Celestia go through with their subjects that they befriend as they age and die around them. Recalling at one point a legend that Zecora once told him years ago, Jacob begins performing some research, and then goes looking for the Necro Walk, or, the 'Path of the Dead' so that he can see and speak to his old friends. Unfortunately, things don't go the way he expects...

For the more recent fans, this story was started before the end of season 2, which is why Twilight is not an Alicorn in this fic, it's predecessor, or the alternate story. Also, the lifespan of ponies in this fic (and the alternate) are based on real-world pony lifespans.

Picture is a screen-shot from the Gurren Lagann anime. Took me several tries to get it just the way I wanted it.

Luna finds out about Pip's life, and decides to adopt him. This leads to her going to Ponyville much more often, and seeing more familiar faces. Feelings that she can't explain begins to develop in her.

The NCR Veteran Ranger, Elite Class, Capt. Michael Denton was seen as a kind and honorable man by wasteland standards. Until it finally broke him. His reason for joining the NCR changed. He used means that would be considered monstrous to defeat his enemies and complete his objective. The NCR saw this and decided to use him as a weapon. Haunted by the death of his sister and his government using him, Michael turned into a monster. But after a mission gone wrong Michael found himself and his team trapped by raiders inside an underground research facility and his life was about to take an unexpected turn.

Cortex has done it this time! In a mad quest to use the power crystals and the colored gems, he opened a portal to another earth. One he hoped to conquer without that bandicoot to stop him. But it was a save in the nick of time, as said bandicoot and his younger sister took all the clear gems and followed Cortex.

Nopony would have ever guessed that these three could cause so much trouble.

(I would like to give credit to Koromoshi from DeviantArt for the wonderful image! Also, this crossover is completely my idea, if it has been done before, I haven't seen it.)
