Some might say that it was a Confluence of Magic. Others might declare it to have been the Will of Discord. Still more might claim that something in the Baker herself was to blame. And some would state that it was something about the dough. Truly, it could have been any of these factors, or a combination of them, but however it happened, its end result was a strange event so unusual, it changed Ponyville forever.

Lyra stands alone under the tree where she met the love of her life.
With only a hoodie to shield her from the cold night she reminisces about the short time she spent with her love.

He had done it. The giant demon that had masterminded the invasion of Earth was dead, and Hell was in shambles. All that was left was to backtrack through Hell and go home to help rebuild the ruined planet...
But of course, it's never that easy. Just one wrong turn, and he arrives from Hell itself into a land filled with pastel-colored ponies. How will the man who had just destroyed Hell adjust to the sudden peacefulness after all he had been through? And is Hell really destroyed for good?

What happens when Twilight confiscates all of Spike's marijuana and lets her curiosity get the better of her? What happens when she encounters the effects of the aforementioned drug?

So this idea hit me about two weeks ago. I don't remember who linked it, but there it was. A clip of Yugioh abridged, ending with the Yugi yelling "ALL THE HOMO!" It stuck with me. I became obsessed with finding a way to use this overplayed joke in this beautifully pure world.

The more I played with it, the more I realized that the best one to utilize this joke would be, of course, a changeling.

Inspiration from this.

You've only lived in Equestria for a month now. You made a couple of friends, but mostly kept to yourself. That is, until you have a wild night of binge drinking at a party and wake up in bed with Lyra Heartstrings! Wacky hijinks ensue!

10 years ago, a Pegasus by the name of Max Million invented the game of Duel Monsters, known in certain circles as simply Yugioh. Soon after its creation, it took off faster than any known product before it, with ponies from all ages picking it up and playing the game. Twilight Sparkle, introverted disciple of princess Celestia, decides that she would not involve herself in the card game in order to advance herself in her studies.

However, on the week of the Summer Sun Celebration, Twilight Sparkle is not only given the tasks of overseeing the Celebration and making friends, but also to participate in the tournament that would take place in the morning of the raising of the sun. As time grows closer to the Celebration, she finds some startling evidence connecting the cards to events that took place over one-thousand years ago, although information is scarce.

What is the connection between these cards and history?

The history of Equestria spans dozens of centuries, and many terrible foes have risen up from the past to threaten the future once more, only to be defeated.

When a vicious and powerful enemy older than any Twilight, her friends, or even the Princesses have faced before returns, they will have to reach out to an ally just as ancient for help... but is she still the heroine she once was?

This story takes place after the end of Season 3.

A Metroid Crossover

A meteor, resistant to magical manipulation, crashes in Equestria, Planet Equis, and soon spreads an unknown poison throughout the land. Containment is all but failing and the Princesses have little power to stop the spread of the Great Poison. The Elements of Harmony are of little use as no knowledge exists of this threat that consumes all life. Help comes from a certain Hunter, clad in metal.

Samus Aran will not only fight for her life as always, but her own sanity as well as these ponies that she begrudgingly starts seeing as allies. New horrors and abilities await her as a reason to fight slowly festers within her, possibly unlocking something she had been denied for so long: Friendship.

Notes and Resources:

This takes place after Echoes. The events of Corruption will have not happened yet. In terms of MLP, consider everything up to and including the Crystal Empire. Princess Twilight does not exist here, etc. The official Metroid Timeline can be found here.

As well, this story references the manga in many places. Reading of it is not required and I try my best to explain the context, but if you're interested, both volumes can be found here.

EDIT: This story was written over two and a half years, beginning in 2013. You'll probably notice the difference in writing as the chapters progress.

WARNING! This fic has a strong centre on pregnancy. If you do not like reading about pregnancy, do not go further.

I was a normal 22-year-old brony, with a job, who wrote and read mlp fanfictions whenever he could.

Like most bronies, I've always wondered what it would be like to go to Equestria, either as myself or as a pony.

However, never in my wildest dreams did i think i would go to sleep in my bed and wake up in Equestria as a cream-yellow Pegasus.

not only that, but, apparently, I've got a surprise my new body is yet to show me
