This story is a sequel to Rise of the Elements Part I: The Lost Element

Ancient beings of long since past are returning, but for good or ill? Where once the world made sense and peace flourished, will it all fall apart? Against the very tide of existence itself, who can stand against it? Perhaps when the powers that be assemble, peace will prevail...or it will fall forever.

A/N: A note to my readers: this is technically a harem fic, but there will be NO lemons in it. The story will instead focus on the connections the characters share, as well as some other things later that I will leave to you to discover.

Rated T for violence, language, use of alcohol, and some mild suggestive references.

Shattered Skies has lived quite some time. He had done well for himself over the past few thousand years; staying out of the public eye and remaining generally uninvolved from pony society while he tended his forests.

Who wouldn't want that, right?

His job came with excellent security and fringe benefits, but after he was betrayed by a princess he trusted, all he wants to do is to live a normal life even if the world tells him otherwise.

Everyone has their circle of friends in college. Mine is relatively small. There's me, Noah, an Astronomy major. There's Klaus, a griffon, and a Game Design major. There's Maud, an earth pony, and a Geology major...

and then there's Nightshade.

She's a transfer student from Equestria, and the most recent member of our circle. Klaus, Maud and I have known her for three months, and she's adjusted nicely to life in Florida. We all consider her to be a close friend, and she seems to feel the same way about us.

But as much as we'd all like to think that we know everything about our best friends, sometimes that isn't the case.

This is an HiE/Anthro story where humans and ponies have been in contact for fifteen years, and takes place after Season 3, but in an alternate timeline from Season 4. The story takes place on Earth, and because I know someone will ask: THIS IS NOT RELATED TO ANY OF MY PREVIOUS STORIES.

Twilight has always loved mysteries. Researching them, dissecting them, and finally, solving them. Almost nothing could compare to the joy she feels when finding an answer to a question no pony knew.

But there are mysteries with answers better left unheard, truths that aren't meant to be known. Now Twilight has solved a mystery with an answer she doesn't want, an answer she can never forget.

One day, Applejack was petrified by a cockatrice in the Everfree forest.
It was a long time before she was ever revived.

A story of moving through lives and the bonds forged in-between.

Was begun before the season four finale, so disregard anything in canon relating to Tirek. He does not exist in this story's timeline.

*Some important information at bottom! Leave some feedback too!*
The Lone Wanderer and The Courier: the names of two legendary figures whose actions forever changed the fate of the wastelands. The Wanderer stood as a shield that defended virtue from vice. And for the Courier...well, he's just a man living in the wild, wild wasteland, looking for a day's caps. Regardless, word of their legendary exploits spread throughout the wastes, but never intersected.

Now, a series of unprecedented events will unite the roads of these two legends. Being projected into the unknown, they decide to work together to adapt to the strange, new world. Could they get used to this new place? Would it be a hero's rest? But they struggle to deal with one person: each other.

More importantly, how do they deal with the colorful ponies that already inhabit the fantasy world called Equestria?

How will the Courier cope with a world without toasters or video games?

This is also my first human-equestria story. I'm not sure if I should continue or not; this is more of a one-shot kinda thing, but I might keep adding more chapters. Let me know what'cha think! Bigger chance that I would continue! Hope you enjoy!

A Metroid crossover.

After destroying the X, the Galactic Federation charges Samus with treason and hunts her down. While running from the Federation, Samus manages to escape but ends up crashing in Equestria, far from any explored sector in the universe and with no way of returning home. Can the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy adapt to a land full of talking, magical ponies who think friendship is magic?

Some notes:

1. This takes place after Metroid Fusion, which is the last game in the Metroid chronology/timeline so far. It also takes place after season 2 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

2. Samus crash lands on Equestria and meets the mane 6. I'll try to not make it too cliche. Also, no ponified Samus (at least, not planning to).

3. In this story, Samus is a Federation runaway. They are hunting her because she destroyed the X parasites in Fusion and they wanted to research on them (I recommend checking the Metroid Wikia for reference).

4. I'll take the 'Tragic' as not so tragic. Don't expect deep depression from this story.

5. I'm open to ideas! Any review/comment is greatly appreciated. Feeding my ego will increase the chances for updates!

6. Any story inspired or ripped off from this story WILL catch my attention. Please tell me if you are going to write one, so I can read it!

Without further ado, enjoy!

Isolated from her friends and taken prisoner in the middle of a war, Twilight must deal with the very real dangers of being percieved as an enemy as well as the nightmares of her arrival on 'Earth'. Can she overcome her own fears and the fears of her captors? Will the wayward unicorn's assistance be a boon or a curse to the 'humans?' Most importantly, will she ever find her way home?

"In short, it's a story of friendship and plasma rifles, with the emphasis on the friendship. The characters are well written, the XCOM setting is fleshed out very well, and the story is compelling. If you love XCOM, you'll love the story, but even if you've never heard of it, it's more than worth giving the first 3 chapters a read.

There's excellent action later on, but the real strength lies in the collision between the friendly and naive world of Twilight Sparkle and the desperate world of humans fighting a losing war for survival and willing to do anything to turn the tide."

This story is a sequel to A Mother's Love...

Even at the lively young age of five young Crystal Dream has more than her share of inner turmoil as the daughter of Celestia, Princess of the sun. With three princesses for aunts, one of whom seems Pony Hell bent on giving her a lifelong speech impediment and a multitude of other aunts and uncles that includes a fire breathing dragon, a pet phoenix(which is actually her mother’s), one of the worst given names in the history of ever(even if it really isn’t that bad), the deceased former ruler of the changelings for a biological mother, and a god of chaos who cringes every time she calls him daddy, she will have as much fun spending a day at the library as Pinkie Pie would have riding a roller coaster made of cake into a mountain of chocolate frosting... well maybe not that much fun, but she will certainly have no shortage of filly sized adventures.

Well due to popular demand… and the fact that I really really wanted to write this… here it is folks… sort of. This is part one of a series of continuations for my most successful story, “A Mother’s Love…”. I say part one because while this will be a collection of short stories, it will only be dealing with a small portion of Crystal’s life. I have about three other planned collections in this continuity each for different parts of her life.

This one being about Crystal at or around the age of five. Meaning this one basically gets to be plain Jane trashy cuteness(It really won’t be that trashy and it certainly won’t be plain). As for the other collections… I still haven’t decided what I’ll do. Part of me wants to release them all at once and just add stories as I write them fitting them in to wherever they fit. Another part of me wants to only release the next collection after the current set is finished.

I’m always happy to hear feedback and any opinions on that matter.

Oh and most importantly of all, I feel the need to thank everyone who read “A Mother’s Love…”… again. All the feedback I received is what has truly inspired me to create this. I don’t know if it will be as well received, but suffice to say I am happy to be writing it. So because I don’t really have the time and energy to provide a shout out to each and every one of the folks who Faved and Commented I just have to hope all of you get to read this so you can know how amazing I think all of you are. So here it goes, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all for showing support to an unknown author such as myself. I hope to prove I can continue to produce stories that you will enjoy.

Now on to our feature presentation... or out presentation of features? Okay these are the lovely people who created the vectors I used for the cover art.
The background was found Here... that said I did add one star to the night sky...
The Celestia Vector was from Here
The Filly Art is a bit complicated. Since she is an OC of my own design there isn't any art of her... so I found this vector and then I performed some cosmetic surgery. I altered the eyes obviously, and then I altered the coat and mane color and flipped her around to face in the other direction. Still I am in no way responsible for the original art so send the real artist some love.
