Red Team had been given an assignment. It wasn't the usual sort of assignment. They were assigned to defend their base 'until further notice'...and then never received notice. All announcements sounded pre-recorded, and enemy assaults were few and far between. The enforced inactivity was slowly fraying the bonds of the team...

...until something unexpected arrived. A tiny creature appears one day in their fortress, in need of compassion and care. Somehow, she finds that in this group of strange individuals, as she becomes their baby.

Crossover with Team Fortress 2.
Part of the PWNY-verse.

My name is Austin Lancaster. 1st Leuitenant in the USMC.

The Year It happened was 2050, Through unknown means that elude me- I search for answers as to why a chance discovery and decision after a nuclear crisis has landed me two thousand years in the future; From once a wasteland life has miraculously bounced back in the form of many different diverse species- primary of which are ponies...

Were the decisions I made in the hot seat worth it? Are the Scars I bear now going to tell a story of an era long past? Or will these people be doomed to follow down a similar path as my own?

Please note that the story is being currently rewritten to fix many of the holes and shortcomings of the story and make it overall better; This process is already in effect. As it progresses this note will be removed and a blog post will be made to notify existing readers of the revisions made. Thank you!

Pokemon, beings of unimaginable power. Some use these creatures for battling, others keep them as pets and friends, while some study them to understand more about them. The Cristalla Region is the first of many to introduce Pokemon to the general population and in an attempt to understand them more, Professor Maple has entrusted Twilight with the task of raising her own! Following the Professor's request, Twilight journeys to the Cristalla Region on a quest to raise her pokemon, meet new friends, defeat new foes, capture Pokemon, and share the magic of friendship!

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning and notices that instead of a horn, she now has wings.
Who will now defend Ponyville's honor, when the Great and Powerful Trixie comes back, trying to reclaim the title of the most powerful magic user in the town?

All bad things happen because of simple mistakes. Sure, it may be that you accidentally let your pet loose and it wreaks havoc on your neighbor's lawns, or it might be that you left a sibling at home, and you come back home and something's on fire.

But spilling tea on magic which you don't have a single clue how it works might be the worst of the bunch.

Twilight Sparkle has been living a lie. Everypony told her what a beautiful and accomplished mare she was. Everypony thought she was a responsible adult. They were wrong. She was still just a filly trying to stumble her way through life.

This story is a sequel to Culling of the Hives

It's been twelve years since Twilight awakened as a changeling. With Phoenix Roost's focus on economic and population growth, the hive has grown strong.

The rest of the changeling hives have been ravaged by war for years with Twilight's brood remaining aloof. Sphinx psyker immigrants have dispersed throughout not only Equestria but as far as the Griffin and Minotaur nations, eager for a new life away from the paranoia of their homeland.

Yet for all of Twilight's desire for leave the rest of the queens to their wars, the Home Guard's proclamation will force Twilight to return to the jungle of her rebirth.

Real cover art pending.

As always, big thanks to Boldish42 and A Bitter Pill for editing.

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

In the wake of the battle with Tirek, Twilight Sparkle becomes fixated on restoring Golden Oaks Library. After all, it was home for her little family of three.

Discord, as the good friend he is, tosses Twilight and her extended family into an unexpected adventure while Twilight's other friends get to work on the new crystal palace.

All together, they'll do everything to ensure Twilight and her family have a place to call home when they reach the end of the road.

Lauren Has been having very strange dreams lately. Dreams of her being in Equestria and killing an evil clone of herself... but were they really just dreams? Or were they something more?
