Marcus 657 has always been different from his other Spartan brother and sisters. Most are broken at the core; no longer fully human in a sense. But is there still redemption for this Spartan? Can Marcus regain his humanity through old 'gifts' and new friends? And perhaps love in one of the oddest places?

Steam Gear thought the worst was over once he graduated from high school. Little did he know in order to be an engineer he had to go back to school. Not just any school though, he had to attend the notorious Equestria Academy. There is never a normal day when your headmaster is Princess Celestia herself. With the notorious Vinyl Scratch as a roommate. The prestigious Octavia constantly looking over his shoulder, and Spitfire as his Engineering partner. There will never be a dull day.

It was a long cold life, but a soldier must carry on. But when this shocked soldier is pulled away from a fatal situation by none other than Rainbow Dash: he must overcome his cold hardheartedness and care for the Pegasus that unmistakably saved his life.

First fan fiction ever, and probably first story I have ever written in my life. So any constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks.

When Twilight Sparkle decides to try a new spell she has perfected, she successfully pulls a being from another universe into Equestria. That being coincidentally is a human...that human coincidentally is you. What at first just seems like an opportunity for first contact between two species soon becomes something much more when certain truths are brought to light...and everything you knew about your life is flipped onto its head.

NOTE: At times in this story, the main character's thought process will be shown as an inner monologue with his brain. BRAIN's dialogue will appear in this color of text.

It has been close to a year since the multiverse decided that it was time for you to have a change of scenery. Living with the Apple family and working on their farm, you have carved out a surprisingly fulfilling life for yourself in this alien world. Yet, there is still something that you yearn for...something near...something so close yet just out of reach. Something, call it a fool's hope, tells you she may feel the same...and when things boil over with an old 'friend' you make a decision that could change your life in Equestria forever.
