This story is a sequel to Stardust

Times are changing for Equestria as Twilight’s return brings with it news of people and cultures from beyond the peaceful world everypony knows. Aid and volunteers are freely offered to help the besieged humans of Earth because every Equestrian knows that’s what good friends do. Unfortunately, making friends can also have the unintended consequence of making enemies.

When the monsters besieging the humans strike at Equestria with a level of brutality not seen in over a thousand years, the cry for help is sent to all the kingdoms of the world. Honored allies step forth to fulfill ancient treaties and oaths. Enemies, old and new, bury their grievances. An alliance never before seen in Equestria will be created to combat the monsters from the void.

And because of these events, a grim but welcome sibling to the XCOM project is born.

There is a black hole at the center of the galaxy that houses Equestria. There is a cafe next to the black hole, and a bench at the bus stop. There is also a bus stop.

Ocellus is waiting for a bus.

It seems to be taking a while.

Dedicated to Regidar.

In memory of CoffeeBean.

In the distant future, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Spike enjoy Hearth's Warming with an old friend.

For Regidar. Happy Hearth's Warming.

Dust and Harmony is a familiar story re-imagined in a western world called Dust.

This story is a sequel to Secrets of a Royal Guard

Duty, honor, and loyalty above all else. That was what Silent Knight had been told ever since he was a colt. They had guided him all his life and he was more than ready to follow in his father’s hoofsteps by dedicating himself to the Royal Guard. Then he discovered something else he had never expected: friendship and love. He learned that he owed these values not just to his job, but to his wife, his friends, and his family. Unfortunately, he learned that too late.

War has broken out between the gryphon kingdoms and Equestria is stuck in the thick of it trying to protect their ally, Nordanver. As Silent marches off to war, he must contend with the guilt that battles within him. He played right into the claws of Sudramoar's sovereign, and now he must leave his newlywed wife behind so that he can pay the price for his foolish actions.

Knowledge of the Quill & Blade AU is recommended to understand this story. It is a direct sequel to Secrets of a Royal Guard.

Spartan-127, whose real name is Parth is a renowned, lethal and powerful spartan III of UNSC ranking next to legendary spartan “spartan-117”. As a lone wolf, He never joined any spartan team and always worked on his own. Because of his actions during human- covenant war like destroying 13 covenant planets, taking out battalions of covenant forces on his own and discovering a forerunner ship on an unknown planet on his own without any help, he was promoted to such a high rank where he could do anything he wanted and no one could question him, not even the ONI. For his further rewards, he was given the forerunner ship that he discovered and so he was given permission to go anywhere in space, do slip space jump to any location he wished and no one could question him. He is considered as a hero in front of civilians.

But instead of taking advantage of such post, he used it for better for mankind, he set on a journey into outer space with a powerful Forerunner ship capable of destroying a planet with minimal weapon usage, to discover new habitable planets and possibly, another alien life which would be friendly as compared to that of covenant. Little did he know that he would discover aliens who also proved to be humans, about whom UNSC no nothing about within one year of travelling. Join him on his journey, as these humans help the spartan to understand what it means to be human and help him find love and peace in life.

The cover image shows how spartan-127 looks like.

Note => rated Teen due to mild swearing and the wars that will occur within the story as it progresses. Please do comment in the comment section and notify me about my mistakes as it is the first time I am writing a crossover fiction.

Also, all characters from equestria are humans in my story

Set in the far future after Celestia and Luna mysteriously vanished and the sun and moon froze in the sky, Antipodes is the story of two ponies thrust out into the harsh new world on an adventure to uncover what happened to the world so long ago.

(I wrote this when I was 17. it's pretty rough in places, but i think the basic ideas i had here were pretty cool. it's got a good skeleton)
