A Halloween short set in the Bridge/Amalgam'verse continuity family, however reading is not required.
(Just don't think too hard on when, tis just a short)

Their fates changed after their encounter with the kaiju and now back to normal, relatively speaking, life slowed down for the Dazzlings into the fall. The sirens more or less have adapted quick to the human realm, though holidays are often still beyond them. So when Halloween catches the youngest sea witch's eye, what's Sonata to do to try and get them into the spirit of things than layout the meaning of it all as she sees it?

The 7th pass of the Red Star over Pern heralded the beginning of the dragon's ancient duty to the people of Pern. Rider and dragon both, risked life and limb to meet their ancient foe in aerial battle, the mindless, silvery Thread which threatened to consume all life on their planet. Every fighting dragon is needed to sear the Thread in the sky before it can reach the ground, but mid-battle, an injured Bronze, a precious, newly mated golden Queen, and their riders, do not return to their Weyr from Between, and are instead transported to another world entirely. How will they cope, especially once the Queen lays her eggs. Only time will tell.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on the brilliant Chronicles of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey, a brilliant author of a brilliant series. I recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy, sci-fi or dragons :)

None of Anne McCaffrey's books take place during the 7th Pass, so the human and dragon characters are all my own creation.

For the purposes of this story, I'll stick to the show Canon up to the movies, I won't be using major story points from season 8 when it's out.

Brother Thane, the newest addition to the Blood Angels Chapter, is finally ready to serve his first tour for the Emperor. It is anything but ordinary as he learns the violence of war, makes desperate alliances and discovers the secrets of Equestria. How do the ponies accept a super soldier built for war and nothing else? How do Space Marines handle the harmless, but still alien, ponies of this world? Can either side stand up to the rigors of the grim darkness of the 41st millennium?

[Rationalfic Deconstruction / Subversion of Displaced]
You’ve read the stories of people from Earth being “Displaced”: Their bodies are changed, their minds are warped, and they’re thrown across the multiverse, to whatever world and timeline their supernal "Displacers" decide upon.  Well, this story isn’t one of them...

...because when they tried to remake me, I didn’t let them.

A Rationalist Horror story, in which an Occultist from some version of Earth (implied to be the World of Darkness) undermines her own Displacement and ends up as a Self-Modifying Construct. Scientific Inquiry, Philosophical Debate, Rational Discussion, Body Horror, and Existential Hijinks ensue. Themes, Concepts, and Style inspired by HP Lovecraft, Elizer Yudkowsky, Gordon R Dickson, Edgar Allen Poe, Modern Prometheus (Frankenstein), Dresden Codak, World of Darkness, and Friendship is Optimal.
^{Front page on JUL 28th, AUG 12th, OCT 30, and every update after that.}

Your story breaks the shitty norm that most displaced stories have in common by being an 'actually interesting story' instead of a powertrip for a horny teen.

This is like brain porn. My head hurts but in a good way.

Author’s Notes

I often find Displaced fics to be more often Miss than Hit with me. Often, they're generic, poorly written, or just do not do anything worth reading with the concept.  This is an experiment to trt out a few other concepts which aren’t used often, even by me, including some which directly subvert Displaced as a genre, and maybe even come up with some advice for those authors. This is also a crossover with the upcoming Dragon: The Oroboroi Chronicles, a World of Darkness rulebook which I lead the development team for.

I hope you all enjoy this, and I implore you to leave some feedback in the comments section: I'll experimenting with a few uncommon concepts here, and I'd like to know how people feel about how they're coming across. :3

FAQ

Because people keep bringing these things up...

Horror/Dark Tags

I've had multiple people ask "how bad does it get?" Note the lack of the "gore", "sad", or "mature" tags or anything like that. Yes, there is blood and death at some point in this story, but the real horror of this story comes from the philosophical and scientific quandaries the characters go through: this is "intellectual horror", not "visceral horror".

Length

In the interest of this NOT becoming one of those long, sprawling fics, I plan to keep this limited to a manageable 10 chapter limit, not counting Prologue and Epilogue. No one wants to read something that long, and I'd rather not be stressing over this 6 months from now.

Sequel

The Sequel is already in the works, with scenes already written. It will be a more episodic story revolving around world optimization and interplanar hijinks.

Crossovers

To be clear, I do plan on having the main character make one of those "Token" things, but as they often get in the way of actual stories, that won't happen until the end of the story. The Sequel will be crossover-heavy.

Spike has had a lot of extra time since Twilight and Starlight have become busy with their various duties. It's understandable, but he feels rather useless at times.

After taking a trip to the local hospital, Spike starts volunteering to entertain the fillies and colts in the children's wing. Spreading laughs and smiles to children and families who need encouragement is more fulfilling then he could have ever wished.

But, when a certain blonde-maned pegasus with much less fortunate circumstances takes notice of Spike and just how caring he truly is, how will Spike react?

What critics have to say about Blonde Moments:

"...so cute and heartwarming and wholesome that I literally think I'll end up being dumb and shoehorning SpikeXDerpy into my fics from now on." - re-Yamsmos

"I Love you for this story.... And I Hate you for it" - DocShadowVine

"Well, that was rude. Didn't ask for even more feels." - JMP

"Too real too fast. Ouch." - _SkyHorse

"... it made me cry... at work. I work at a front desk for a public building. I loved it so much!" - RainbowShyBrony

"I think this story cured my depression, it was beautiful and a work of art." - The Sandwich Guardian

(WARNING SPOILERS FOR HALO WARS 2) After Anders deactivated the ring's main weapon and replaced it with a nav-beacon she went through the portal hoping that she could come out in UNSC space and rescue the Spirit of Fire. But when she exits she is in orbit around an undiscovered planet, and there are banished forces all over the ring, without Isabel she will have a much harder time bringing the sentinel defenses online. But she may find many unexpected allies.

For almost all of its life Giratina has spent it in isolation, disconnected from the real world and life itself while it's left to rot away and lose sanity in its prison, The Distortion world.

However one day the unexpected happens, Giratina escapes, but it isn't into the world it wishes to know but instead a completely different one where problems are sometimes mostly solved all through the meaning of friendship, instead of brute strength and skill like its own, how will Giratina react to this peaceful place after its harsh and cruel life? Will it ever find peace or forever hate?

Pokémon/Pokemon x Mlp Crossover
Slightly Rule 63 because it makes it interesting.
Rated T for slightly offensive humor, dark, and sexual jokes.

After his supposed death, Vol'jin has awaken, since Bwonsamdi had other plans. Bwonsamdi gave him an offer:

Vol'jin, I can give you another chance at life. Of course, not for free.
"What do you want Bwonsamdi?"
There is another world under my care, in that world trolls are almost extinct. I want you to revive their species and build them an empire.
"Is there anything I need to know about that world?"
That world is very similar to ours, just the species are different, but at the same time similar. I will tell you on the way.
"I guess it's fine. I accept, Bwonsamdi, not like I got a choise.'

After accepting said offer, he was transported to the land of Equestria to rule the almost extinct race of trolls, and with Bwonsamdi, the Loa of Death as his guide. He will try to revive this fallen race. Will he succeed or will he fail?

This is a crossover with the mlp and warcraft universe. Also I don't own the caracters from mlp or warcraft. I don't own the pictures either, unless I say so.

Editor's note: FOR DA HORDE!!!

Scorpan, brother of Tirek, is a wanderer of the wastelands that surround the land of Equestria. And when he feels his brother's escape, he wanders no more and heads for an island that is occupied by nothing but an unstoppable force of rage and hatred. A force that makes all the monsters of the wasteland quiver in fear, for this force is the King of them all. But he slumbers a deep slumber, as the monsters encased him into the heart of an island... But Scorpan knows how to wake his King, and is willing to sacrifice himself to his King so that Tirek can be stopped.

Tirek has consumed every ounce of magic in Equestria. He has consumed the magic of the ponies, he has consumed the magic of the Alicorns, and he has consumed the power of friendship. If there was only something that could stop him from making Equestria and The Everfree look like the rest of the world...

Folks, I made this because why not. Godzilla keeps everyone in line, and Lord Tirek is no exception to his rule over the monsters. The Final Wars Godzilla is being used in this fiction.

Update_18022018

I have fixed all the errors that I could, and changed a few sentences so that it can flow better. I hope that this improves the reading experience!

After so many failures in taking over Equestria, the sadistic Changeling queen has declared total war on Equestria. Forced to be spread out to different corners of the country, Twilight Sparkle and her friends prepare for what may be the toughest crisis they've faced, with an old ally returning to aid them.

Little does anyone realize, however, that something has come to Equestria, something which when discovered, will shake the foundation of the country to its core and turn the tide of victory in favor of either the Changelings or the newly established Guardians of Harmony. Which will it be?
