Once upon a time, on the not-so-magical planet Earth, there was a US Marine who signed up to defend his country. He was assigned to a fire team, the fire team assigned to a squad and the squad assigned to a platoon. Together they defended the area surrounding a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan from insurgents. If only it were that simple.

When lone Marine is transported to Equestria he finds a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With no orders, no resupply and seemingly no hope of return, he sets out to find what brought him here, and why.

Strong Language Warning: He swears like a Marine.
Disclaimer: I'm not a Marine

"[T]his has to be the dumbest sounding plot I've ever heard of. But my god do you take that and fuck it in its ass ... Its just so real and witty and genuine that the whole premise actually works!" ComprehensiveBrony

"Yes, it's human-in-Equestria, but it's good. ... the action scenes had me sitting on the edge of my seat" Tebee

When a unicorn gives you a gift what do you get her in return? And how far do you go to ensure she gets it?

Stuart faces all of these questions the day Dinky, a mare in his class who he barely knows, leaves a gift for him. And when he finally gets the answers he'll find out there's far more to this filly than he ever realised.

This is based on a dream I had not too long ago. It's based in a universe where humans and ponies have coexisted since time immemorial. The characters, including Dinky, are in their late teens to early twenties.

Sad tag because it's the closest we have to bittersweet.

***Caution: Comments may contain spoilers!***

Rainbow Dash has asked her close friend for help dressing up! Dash says it's for an event, but she's asking for his help for other reasons...

Princess Celestia has invited representatives from every race to come to Canterlot for a conference on equality amongst the regions. One of the attendees, though, is rather interesting... He calls himself a "human," but the Equestrian guard has no record of any humans ever being in Equestria... or of Celestia having invited one to the conference.

So how did he get here? Was he really invited by Princess Celestia? And what will happen when the first pony he meets is everyone's favorite wall-eyed mare...?

Story tagged for "Romance", but there won't be any Derpy-on-human dating or anything like that. It's for other pairings that will be showing up.

Anon and I have been friends for awhile now. We get along together and Dinky loves him to death. I feel very fortunate to have a friend like him. Its just, I have always liked Anon a little more than I probably should. He needs a friend right now, seeing as he just went through a bad break up.

Who am I kidding anyways. Who would want me? I'm just... damaged goods.

It's been mere months since Marc made his choice to stay in Equestria. He has a home, good friends, good food...But above all, he has Ditzy. But the situation is far more complicated than that. Forces are in play that they must confront. But before all this, one question needs to be answered. If only things could be simpler...

A sequel to Change in Perspective

Discord has been meddling in other dimensions and to the horror of the Princess has brought a creature back from one of them to prove it. The main six must now help to return this tragic wayfarer to his home, but not before he leaves an impression that will be hard to forget.

Seeking passage to Avalon, Alan Ryves finds the spell he used (written by no less than Merlin, himself!) takes him instead to Equestria.

Vinyl Scratch, DJ and perpetual party fixture, was just on the cusp of creating a new spell to enhance the acoustics of her infamous WUBS, only to have it backfire and create a crater where her house once was.

A friendship between the two grows quickly, and perhaps becomes even more.

It was a long cold life, but a soldier must carry on. But when this shocked soldier is pulled away from a fatal situation by none other than Rainbow Dash: he must overcome his cold hardheartedness and care for the Pegasus that unmistakably saved his life.

First fan fiction ever, and probably first story I have ever written in my life. So any constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks.

On her way to Canterlot High for her music club, Octavia meets Vinyl Scratch and is annoyed by the music blasting from her headphones. After getting yelled at, Vinyl responds by making odd gestures with her hands. It turns out, Vinyl Scratch is deaf, and she feels music instead of listening to it. Feeling ashamed, Octavia wishes to make it up to her, but is surprised by Vinyl's request.
