An optimistic asari archaeologist.
A turian ex-soldier with a dark past.
A bitter krogan mercenary.

Mutual benefit binds them together as they plunge into the depths of the Perseus Veil sector to find the motherlode of artifacts on an uncharted world, one year after the end of the Reaper War.

Three weeks after the changeling invasion, the citizens of Equestria, Gryphonia and all other countries of this planet learn that they are not alone in the universe.

No side will come out of this encounter unchanged. All actions have reactions, and all choices have consequences.

Crossover between the Mass Effect Universe and MLP.

I don't own either franchise.

For those interested:
This story takes place after an alternative, fan ending of ME3. The link to an explanation of the fan ending is here:

However, the Destroy ending will also work for the purposes of this story.

Commander James Bond was one of MI6's top operatives. Having succeeded in countless missions and bringing down international terrorists such as Le Chiffre and Dominic Greene, Bond is sent to Istanbul to retrieve a hard drive containing the names of every agent involved in undercover affairs. The hard drive in question has fallen into enemy hands, and it's his job to get it back.

After disastrous events in Istanbul during the mission, James finds himself in an unfamiliar land, and soon becomes entangled in a tale of international espionage.

Only one man can protect Equestria and its princesses in this new time of crisis, and his name's Bond.

James Bond.

A sequel has been published: An Equestrian Princess in London.

Twilight has discovered a strange old book purportedly written by Star Swirl the Bearded, and Rainbow Dash discovers a latent spell in it that transports the two ponies to a strange island in the middle of nowhere. With no viable options available to them, Twilight and Rainbow begin to search the island for clues to a way home and the reason behind the odd puzzles and contraptions presented to them.

Dramatic Reading here.

Not related to any of my other stories, for the most part. Luna, with her time as twilight's assistant, has grown close to the unicorn, even going so far as to find her as a love interest! But what about her previous plans to serve some justice to her older sister? Will she be able to carry out plans to hurt her love's mentor? Will she be found-out? Or will Twilight be enough to sate Luna's anger?...wait...who says she can't do both at once!?

Desc- Well...obviously the Gala wasn't so great for everypony...but I always wondered why they didn't include a certain Moon Goddess in at least the last episode of the season, ya know? Well, if I had it my way (and it wasn't supposed to be a kid's show, primarily, hehe...) our favorite and little-known-of Alicorn would have come to at least bring the spirits up of miss Sparkle!...but I can't have it my way, so I resort to entertaining you with this story of mine. Enjoy.
NOTE, Written BEFORE "Luna Eclipsed" episode was released, so...yeah. Keep that in mind.

This is a story about a fallen princess who has lost everything. Her once beautiful land was scorched by the flames of her rage, leaving nothing but ashes behind. This is a story about the downfall of princess and the events that lead up to her downfall. This pony's name is Celestia and she is the Princess of Ash.

One year after her coronation, Princess Twilight Sparkle is dead, killed by her own subjects out of fear and jealously. After the funeral, Princess Celestia isolated herself from the world, mourning the loss of her brightest student and daughter figure.

But she cannot weep forever. She must take control of her duties once more. Haunted by the memories of the assassination, and its aftermath, Celestia slowly makes her way to Twilight's resting place to find some closure.

Now With its own TV Tropes Page!

Sequel is up

Twilight's coronation was just recently, and nothing has gone wrong since. But alas, it could not last. King Sombra returns, and this time Equestria will not be rid of him so easily. Twilight finds herself in the caves beneath Canterlot, where she will learn secrets that are best left undiscovered.

Twilight finds an unfinished spell from Star Swirl the Bearded meant to view other worlds.
Coop tries to fix the Time Flux Control unit to go back in time to see a legendary wrestling match.
When these two things are activated simultaneously the Mane Six and Spike are pulled into the chaotic land of Jersey City.
Out of her element and completely outgunned, Twilight has no choice but to place her faith in Coop's destructive hands to rescue her friends from the Glorft. However, the seven friends aren't the only thing to make the trip from Equestria to Earth...

How do you cope when all your friends are dying of old age around you, but you seem not to be growing older at all? Twilight Sparkle tackles this problem for herself the only way she's ever known how: research, and then contacting Princess Celestia for advice. The explanation she gets is nothing like what she could have expected, and it will change Twilight's life forever.
