Working in a dump has its ups and downs - sure, you may go home smelling like trash, but the riches you can find more than make up for it. Gently used furniture, perfectly good books, and even some nearly intact action figures are just the tip of the iceberg of what Anon has found on his daily duties - still, even after years of working at the junkyard, he still stumbles across a few surprises.

After an urgent summon from Fancy Pants, both Celestia and Luna attend Day court. However, a new precedent is set when Fancy Pants presents a male alicorn to the two princessess, one he found dumpster diving behind his house.

Not much else to say without spoiling a lot of the story. Just jump in and heave a read!

Not all villains are evil. Some are just misguided. There are some creatures who just need a helping hoof to have the opportunity to—

—bwa ha ha, no, the Queen of the Changelings would never be into that. So what's with this sudden change of heart? And what's with these sassy letters?

A not very serious fic with some isekai implications.

Twilight Sparkle is facing a crisis greater than Tirek, the Changelings, and King Sombra combined.

She's read every single book in existence.

So it is that she has nothing new to read.

She does not take it well.

Pre-read by The Albinocorn and MythrilMoth.

When Nightmare Moon’s rebellion tore across Equestria, leaving a trail of blood and horror in its wake, Princess Celestia knew that merely banishing her sister wouldn’t be enough. Her army was too powerful, and too bloodthirsty, to be left behind without a leader. When she finally turned the Elements of Harmony against her, she didn’t just banish Nightmare Moon. She banished thousands.

Now they’re in a race against time, to find a way to survive in an environment so alien that every aspect of it is trying to kill them. They face suffocation, freezing, boiling, starvation, radiation, meteorite impacts, low gravity… the list goes on.

Nightmare Moon thought she should be the ruler of all Equestria. Now, in a world nopony was ever meant to survive, her abilities will be put to the ultimate test.

Note: I intend this story to be as faithful to our current scientific understanding of the moon, and I’ve consulted for help with the aspects outside my technical purview. That said, I fully expect to make decisions that some may see as mistakes, based on their own independent interpretations.

I am a storyteller first, and I realize it’s likely I’ll eventually make a mistake, or an arbitrary decision to simplify the storytelling over accuracy. I’m doing my best here, but this isn’t a NASA white paper. Set your expectations accordingly.

This story was commissioned by Canary in the Coal Mine on my Patreon, feel free to contact me if you’d like one of your own!

To escape from Tartarus is nearly impossible, even for one of great magical power. When you've lost your powers and are little more than a withered old centaur, it's even harder. But Tirek has a plan, one that will draw in a creature from a world where life is cheap, hats are plentiful, and gravel is king. Will the Spy take the opportunity to enjoy a well-earned vacation in this new world, or will he see the population of friendly, innocent ponies as just a fresh selection of backs to stab? It could be both!

(Takes place before the beginning of Season 9.)

A large corporation in Manehattan hires you to fulfill the Diversity and Inclusion goals and reach the target numbers on the key metrics such as the absence of gender and racial bias. They specialize in customized spell solutions, distributed enchantment systems and cloud mana storage: three things that you, a human, didn't know even exist.

To their surprise, you are not entirely useless.

This is an RGRE (Reversed Gender Roles Equestria) story. You were warned.

Hearts and Hooves Day. Anon wants a pizza; Cadance wants to find him a marefriend. Only one of them is going to get what they want today.

A hot dog vendor from New York gets teleported to the market square of Ponyville. And the person behind it? Doesn't care at all.

(Why did I do this?)

[Please click 'More' - a bit of explanation comes after the description!]

Some years ago, contact between Earth and Equestria was established, allowing for both humanity and ponykind to cross over to each others' worlds. Immediately, Princess Celestia tasked the Elements of Harmony with conducting outreach missions to Earth - to learn humanity's ways, culture, history, technology, and sciences.

During one particular avenue of study on Earth, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy cross paths with one Doctor Ian Malcolm; a man shrouded in mystery, revered but misunderstood by his peers. What comes to pass is a chain of events that the ponies get ever further dragged into - industrial espionage, acts of international secrecy, and governmental cover-ups.

Twilight and Fluttershy learn the ugly truth behind the string of lies on an island nobody has rightly heard of - and it is here that the pair find themselves fighting for survival against monsters that have been extinct for sixty five million years.

A/N (Please read!) - Hello! This is my first attempt at anything really really long. I've been working on this on-and-off for nearly three years now and, at the time of writing this, think I'm about three quarters of the way through.

This is a crossover with The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I'm borrowing from both novel and film canon - the story is dated in 1997 (so film canon) but with a bunch of events that occur in the novel. The first two chapters or so are fairly faithful to the novel - as faithful as a story about the characters from My Little Pony wandering about on Earth can be.

I will not be re-telling either the film or novel but with ponies inserted. I plan on borrowing events and scenes from film and novel canon to some extent - for instance, the first few chapters remain faithful to the novel - but the overarching plot is of my own design.

The characters in the story all feature in the novel but many of them have qualities of their film canon counterparts. I imagined Sarah Harding as Julianne Moore when writing this, and Ian Malcolm as Jeff Goldblum (Goldblum is the one true Ian Malcolm, praise be to him.)

(I don't think you'll have had to read the novel / watched the film to make heads or tails of this. Hopefully. Let's see.)

This is a very wordy story. I've sort-of tried to emulate Crichton's writing style a little bit here, so there's a lot of high-brow sciency and philosophical-type stuff in here. Chaos theory plays a big role, for instance, and I've done my best to understand it but science isn't what I'd call my forte.

If you are after a story where dinosaurs rampage from the get-go, this won't be your jam. Sorry. I'm all for ponies running for their lives from Tyrannosaurs, but I wanted to explore other themes too - the dinosaur-y bits, though important, serve to further the plot and themes.

There is swearing and there is some gore. Characters get annoyed with each other a lot in this one, because a lot of them make very idiotic decisions. As such, they swear at each other. Also, dinosaurs eat people. There's gonna be some blood and gore and violence, so yeah. Just warning you. Might up the rating a bit later if required.

Twilight isn't an Alicorn. I guess this is sorta AU in that respect. But no, she's still just a Unicorn!

That's enough from me, I think. Enjoy!
