Not too long ago, humans were believed by all right-thinking, sane ponies to be nothing more than breezie tales. After all, what sort of creature could live and breathe without magic permeating their very existence?

Once an interdimensional fissure appeared in Equestria, however, ponies came into contact with those very same creatures, right out of the storybooks! The two races barely had time to begin initiating relations before the ice was suddenly broken for them. Eirene, Princess of Peace and daughter of Cadance and Shining Armor, was born, and a new would-be changeling queen now has the opportunity she needs to start her own hive... at the expense of Eirene's love. Worse, if the newborn foal cannot safely reach the Crystal Empire before the next dark moon, the princess's gift of peace to the hearts of Equestrians will be lost forever.

With threats arraying against them and time running very short, the ponies turn to the one advantage they have, the one thing no changeling could possibly predict: one human volunteer, willing to protect Eirene from the evil magics of the world and see her home safely...

...at any cost.

Further wanderings through the Leroverse. This fic continues on after the Xenophilia main story so you'll need to read that to be able to understand anything that's going on here. This fic may not be clop (so no explicit man-on-tiny-horse action to be found here) but the original is so you have been warned.

Most importantly, a huge shower of gratitude goes to AnonAuthor and AnonponyDASHIE for granting me permission to play around in their pool. Hopefully they won't need too much extra chlorine once I'm done. I'd also like to thank all my co-authors and guest authors. You're fantastic, every one of you.

On a seemingly ordinary day in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle is attempting to correct an ancient time travel scroll half-completed by her life-long hero, Starswirl The Bearded. The results are...unexpected, and now Twilight and her friends must correct the flow of time before it's too late.

A failed experiment.

Not exactly new for Twilight. But when the outcome brings forth its own science, the likes of which her nation hadn't even yet dared to hope for, the ponies of Equestria slowly realize that they're in for the adventure of a lifetime.

The problem is, they might just not be ready for the revolutions that technological advancement always brings.

And they're about to get hundreds of years of human science and advancements all at once.

As a forewarning, updates will likely be erratic. I have every intention of finishing this story, it's just that my life has been rather crazy lately as I'm sure many of you can imagine.

Also, if you are going to leave a thumbs down, please leave a comment detailing why. Thumbs downs don't tell me much, and I can't make the story better until people tell me what's wrong with it.
Thank you for your time.

[Featured on EQD 21/4/2014] [Now on TVTropes]

When Luna gifts Twilight the town of Ponyville and its surrounding countryside as her demesne she's initially confused. Then, after double checking her dictionary, more than a little concerned.

All her friends are, legally, her possessions. The town that took her in is her plaything, if she so wishes. She has been given responsibility.

Can Twilight's vision for a modern renaissance outrun the harsh realities of the shadowy figures pulling strings behind the scenes, nobles jockeying for her attention, and an irritatingly metaphorical love triangle?

Special thanks to the insatiable Blue_Paladin42, the incorrigible Maskedferret, the intuitive Southpaw and the indestructible newbiedoodle for all their hard work, past, present and future.

Harmony through some of his father's shenanigans and his own temporal spells, seems to find himself in the future. He finds his family, but they're all grown up!

This is a side-story series published to make it easier for my readers to see.
If you came here somehow without going through the main fic it is highly recommended that you read it here. You will not get what is happening if you don't, sorry.

P.S. This will not be as rigorously edited as the main fic, sorry.

Harmony comes home to see Tempora pacing around his house. Concerned, he asks what is on her mind. It's your father, she replies, something is wrong...

If you've somehow stumbled upon this without reading the main fic, it's best if you get it from HERE. This side-story is not standalone, it is highly recommended to read the main fiction to get what is going on. I don't usually publish fics unless they are completely original but for some of my readers this makes it easier. Sorry if the other method got too inconvenient.

Imagine my surprise when I see a winged unicorn in my kitchen that claims she's my mother.

Imagine her surprise when I threw my coffee mug at her.

Imagine my Dad's surprise when I was banished to the end of Time.

Okay, the last part didn't happen, Tempora is actually really nice, but you get what I mean.

Just roll with it, I guess?

Based on an idea by Rainbow Dragon!

The Equestrian Empire has spanned far and wide into neighbouring star systems. It was an exciting prospect to venture out into the stars and reap the riches of countless untapped planets. Hopeful settlers branches out from the core worlds, seeking a new existence on an alien planet the fringes of civilisation. Ten years, they say to themselves, ten years and a garden-world could be terraformed. But the War took its toll and the settlers can no longer expect help from the outside. They need hard resources—and fast—or lives could be lost. This is the story about the settlers on Nocturne. This is the story of how they captured a comet.
