Diplomacy amongst nations should be done by highly skilled and intelligent people that have had significant training. In fact, any kind of public spokesperson should be overly qualified before they step out into a spotlight.

Lyra is not particularly skilled. She also has absolutely no training. But, unfortunately for Equestria, that isn't going to stop her.

Artists is Hidden-Cat if anyone wanted to know.

Beige Beaker is a chemist with a promising career ahead of her. She's got a loving husband, a beautiful daughter, and a loyal best friend. Yes, life is good, and Beige knows it.

Then there's the 'accident.' It wasn't an accident, Beige knows that, but how else can she explain what happened? Suddenly, life has gotten harder, and it's getting worse. And worse. And worse. None of it makes sense. Bad things don't happen this quickly without explanation.

Is it bad luck... or is it a curse?

Set early in Season 1.

A big thanks to my ever-patient (even when I wasn't) pre-readers and editors: Georg, BlazzingInferno, and Pascoite. You guys are awesome.

This story is a sequel to World of Ponies: The Rise of Change.

Three years have passed since Castus and his humans fled from Canterlot. In that time, they have grown and learned; living at peace in a wide open plain. But forces begin to move, that now push Equestria and the Humans into a war in which both sides are not fully prepared to face.

Awsome Cover Art is thanks to Sipioc and KickassKing. Thank you dudes, you guys are awesome. I'm honored that my story has inspired fan art :)

Everything changes for Twilight Sparkle and her friends when a mysterious extraterrestrial ship crash lands in Equestria. When Twilight messes around in the ship's systems with her magic, she ends up transported to an alien world unlike anything she imagined: a box canyon in the middle of nowhere.

To get home, Twilight must enlist the help of the eccentric Red and Blue soldiers that live there... if she can get them to stop bickering first! Additionally, she finds herself being pursued by the enigmatic military agency known only as Project Freelancer. Back in Equestria, all is not well for Twilight's friends as forces involved with the crashed ship make themselves known. Reds, Blues and ponies will all have to work together to discover the mysterious connection between Equestria and Project Freelancer.

A crossover with Red vs Blue. Written with the intention for the story to be followable without having watched the series. (just don't expect to get all the references).

Now with editors! BradtheBrony and Rough_Draft.

I made a blog post explaining things. You should read it.

“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.” ― George Orwell

The end of everything Twilight knew and loved allowed something else to seep into what was left of Equestria. Something that had long been forgotten by the only one who had the ability to understand it. To Twilight it is the most jarring, the harshest, and perhaps the most benevolent thing that she could ever imagine ...

Reality.

The war is finally over. We ponies have lost. Our plan to convert humanity into ponies has failed. Hundreds of thousands are dead. Homes destroyed. Our nation is shattered and near annihilation. All because we underestimated humanity and their refusal to become like us.

I alone now hold the fate of my people in my hooves against the humans who want nothing more than to destroy us for the so called atrocities we have committed against them. I've lost my friends one way or another. My family. My fellow Princesses.

I have but one duty and that is, reluctantly, to see that we are shown mercy.

I'm just afraid of the cost. Or what I will learn from this.

Based on The Conversion Bureau series.

Dark times lay ahead for the ponies of Equestria. A dark force comes to take their lands and their magic, to leave them all but helpless. Subjugated to life under a tyrant, their only salvation will come in the form of a champion, a champion who wrestles bears for fun. Zangief, the Red Cyclone, is their only hope.

Unfortunately for them, he's playing for the wrong team.

Zangief will be based on all of his best traits with as much personality as I could find from within his quotes. Don't take this story too seriously, it's done for fun. All my information came from the games and comics. LARIAT.

Based on the original characters of Kilala97's Next Generation pictures, comes a series of one-shots and fluffy drabbles featuring the pairing of Anthea and Prism Bolt.

Inspired by the cover art and fact that this is the artists personal OTP and her challenge to have people write fiction for this pairing I present that fic. This will be a series of one-shots and drabbles that deal with the pair. Ranging from funny, sad, romantic, sensual (but not sexual) and everything in between I hope you all enjoy this fun little couple.

Characters belong to Kiala97 who can be found on deviantart here. Friendship is Magic is owned by Lauren Faust, DHX media, Hasbro and the Hub. I do not own these characters and make no profit from making these stories.

Thank you and enjoy.

Humans had barely been spoken of by Ponykind since hundreds of years ago. The Ponies did not believe in such beasts, not even Princess Celestia who only heard of them in songs and tales of old.

But, the Human race was very old. They were know to be frightening, strong, and ruthless only fighting for what they believed in being true. But, still the ponies did not believe in such a race. Celestia being skeptical did make a promise that if she ever found a nation of human's she would conquer it immediately since the humans are seen as a threat to her ponies. Her skepticism might just pay off as she soon finds out of a nation in the Northern half of the continent near Equestria. Will the humans be able to defend their nation against Celestia's aggression? (American Civil War Scenario Side: Union) (This Story will start somewhat similar to that of Facing Southern Thunder but will ebb out as the story progresses) (There will be battles don't worry)

Also read my other story:

Facing Southern Thunder

(Author's Note: I am a huge Civil War Buff. But, this story will not focus on the political issues during Civil War but instead focus on the presidents, generals, and their armies during the Civil War.)

You, a young human living in Canterlot, have never fit in with anyone. It's been years since you were found in Equestria, and you've become a small outcast in this world of ponies. Hiding away from everyone, you find solace in another strange being, a weird black bug-like filly that calls herself Chrysalis.
