Twilight's curiosity gets the better of her when she is doing some late night reading. She is looking for topics on ancient Equestrian history, the reason mainly being because the topic is not well known, and she is about to find out why.

Long ago, Equestria, before it was even called that, was a dark and twisted land, filled with much war and horrors, and Twilight wants to see exactly what it was like, even at the risk of her own innocence.

She comes to Princess Celestia with an inquiry on the subject, and she complies...

A suicide-mission turns first contact when a skeleton crew and their eager captain land smack dab in the middle of Canterlot. To Princess Celestia, it's an opportunity to make a valuable ally and a new friend, just as long as she can trust them. Enter seven Equestrian ambassadors: the six ponies and one baby dragon hoof-picked by Celestia herself to observe and report their findings on what really is beyond Equestria's skies. After all, Celestia can't be everywhere.

Unfortunately for them, Equestria just so happens to be a bright red target on every star-map in the galaxy, and a peaceful tour led by a veteran of a pseudo-mercenary military known as the Wing quickly becomes a race against time to save Equestria, the worlds beyond, and possibly the entire galaxy.

That's only if they can save themselves first, of course.

Though this is technically a crossover with an existing universe, you won't find it anywhere, so there's no crossover tag for it anymore. It is primarily written for myself and a few friends of mine. Also as a note, it is largely first person and told from the perspective of one of the "human" characters - though technically he's an alien. There are a few exception chapters, but if you don't like that idea, then this was your warning. [EDIT]: There will be more third-person scenes following rewrites to the earlier chapters.

If you have critiques, comments, theories, or anything, please comment, favorite, and like. Etcetera. Note: Homebound takes place between seasons two and three of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which is owned by Hasbro, and anything pony belongs to them.

HIATUS EDIT: No, it's not dead. It's just hard to write with what I've had going on, though I am still working on both the next chapter and the quality-control rewrites for the earlier chapters. I /will/ provide links to the earlier chapters, but I've gotten a lot of negative and non-constructive comments because of them, and I feel like I should rewrite them anyway. On the bright side, the official Wingverse tabletop is in full swing with my lovely players, Plebeian, Laichonious, SilentBelle, and some other fourth guy.

tl;dr: it is on.

Cancel edit: Unfortunately, real life took over six years ago as I got ready to graduate highschool and go to college. That, and I and my friends drifted away from the fandom at large. While I don't follow MLP anymore, I look on it fondly. I however managed to eek out one extra chapter and a large rebooted chapter with the purpose of making it more Equestria centered. And also better. This story helped me practice and while I certainly wouldn't cite it to my professors, the skills I learned from making what I did helped prepare me for my English degree and current career.

Formerly "Unconventional Tactics."

Equestria has enjoyed a millennium of peace and prosperity, but let its power wane. Now the peace has been broken, and it lacks the power to regain it. The Elements of Harmony have proven useless, and the Royal Guard can barely stem the tide. As Equestria's enemies conspire against it and the ponies' situation grows desperate, they must return it in kind and get their hooves dirty. And a certain group of technocratic cultists displaced from their own world are just the ones to show the ponies that there can only be peace through power.

Command and Conquer, Tiberian crossover

Psijic Enterprises is the leading producer of just about anything, ever. So when they decide they need to expand their horizons, they decide that Equestria would be the next stop in their multiversal quest for corporate domination. In Equestria Princesses Celestia and Luna are getting ready to announce the opening of Equestria's very first mass production facility, managed by the Mane 6.

During another meaningless day at home, an unsuspecting man suddenly becomes the portal from which Pinkie emerges.

Shameless self insert.

I have always been an antisocial, colorless guy who just liked to stay outta people's way and not stand out. But after encountering a strange light and being brought to the world of Equus in the land of Equestria I may have a bit of a problem. While there I see and do many things I thought could only happen in fantasy. I don't know why I've been brought to Equestria, and I have a feeling Celestia knows more than she's letting on, but I try to make the best of it and think of it as a chance to reinvent myself.

(If you came here expecting action, good. Gore? Has that too. Has some sexual themes but they vary and won't be frequent.
This will be written in 1st person and I will inform you when the POV changes.
If you are confused or lost please comment so I can better write the story for following chapters and gain experience for future stories).
