The 1'st Russian Bear Cavalry Unit gets attacked by ponies who attempt to turn the humans into ponies. They inject the serum into all the bears, but are killed. The bears then turn into Ursa Majors and are still loyal to the humans. They then go on a rampage, meet Theodore Roosevelt, and kill every pony on Earth.
Dear Humanity,
We regret being equine bastards
We regret coming to Earth
And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy ass base!

Same-sex relationships are generally frowned upon in Equestria. So when the relationship between Cheerilee and Berry Punch is threatened to be outed, Cheerilee is at the risk of losing her job... or more.

Every relationship has its ups and downs, right? For Cheerilee, it seems like her's only has a downside. She's asked Berry time and time again to quit drinking.
'This time it'll be different', she always says. But this time around... will it be different?

After traveling Equestria and finding no place she belongs Trixie returns to the one place that felt different; Ponyville. She has chosen to swallow a little (just a little) bit of her pride in order to ask the only pony to ever have impressed her for help. She wants Twilight Sparkle to become her teacher in magic...and in the ways of friendship. She hopes to improve herself, but she keeps having these second thoughts...

This story is told while alternating viewpoints between Trixie and Twilight Sparkle. The ~~~~ symbolizes a perspective change.

Lyra just can't wait to share her new thoughts and ideas with her best friend, Bon-Bon.

Splinter is your average Timber Wolf, he hunts, he eats, he sleeps and then he eats some more. Rinse, lather and repeat. However, after being permanently handicapped whilst hunting a SERIOUSLY annoying rabbit, things quickly go south for the poor mutt. Now it seems as if he's going to have to adapt to being some hillbilly foal's pet.

Not if he has anything to say about it.

Join splinter as he valiantly makes a stand against hick ponies, aggrovating foals and an absolute hellspawn of a bunny!

Dawn Gazer is a mare who's down on her luck. She's been through school, she's gotten her cutie mark, and she's worked her tail off to get herself a job that will let her move out of her parent's house in uptown Manehattan. Unfortunately, no one seems willing to take her on board. With no one to give her a chance, she feels trapped. So, in an attempt to *make* something work out for her, she's heading out of the big city for a more humble base of operations: Ponyville.

With only enough money for a few nights stay at the local inn, and still lacking any specific skills to nab that perfect job, how far will she go to make something of her life? Will the change of scenery be just what she needs, or a whole new saddle-full of problems?

An optimistic asari archaeologist.
A turian ex-soldier with a dark past.
A bitter krogan mercenary.

Mutual benefit binds them together as they plunge into the depths of the Perseus Veil sector to find the motherlode of artifacts on an uncharted world, one year after the end of the Reaper War.

Three weeks after the changeling invasion, the citizens of Equestria, Gryphonia and all other countries of this planet learn that they are not alone in the universe.

No side will come out of this encounter unchanged. All actions have reactions, and all choices have consequences.

Crossover between the Mass Effect Universe and MLP.

I don't own either franchise.

However, the Destroy ending will also work for the purposes of this story.

Eventhough they are a Ghost Recon team what will they do in a land that was thought to be a fairy tale world?

When a mission to completely wipe out the Bodark resistance completely off the map goes horribly wrong, Anon Yuri Mous is sent to Equestria through unknown means. However, this is definitely not the same peaceful, tolerant and loving Equestria you and I know. Only time will tell what will happen to Anon...

[Second person fiction between you and Luna]This story is a more realistic take on a pony X royal sister fiction in the sense of how it would actually happen. After a spell cast by Princess Celestia goes awry.....you, a simple brony, have been sent directly to Equestria. No, no instant cutie marks or instant shipping is in this fiction. Trust me, I know what I'm doing. However, if you don't like human in Equestria stories OR steamy scenes, then stay away from this fiction. Simple as that.
