A flip of a coin. A twist of fate.

Twilight Sparkle, younger sister of Princess Celestia's personal student, Shining Armor, grew up listening to her brother's bygone dreams of joining the elite of the elite: The Royal Guard.

Now, fresh out of the Academy, this young mare is ready to prove herself equal to the deeds of the great soldiers she read about as a filly. Too bad the princess she ends up protecting isn't Celestia.

Toby was looking forward to a very interesting project for his English class: writing to a complete stranger somewhere in the country to learn about them. However, through some anomaly, his letters make their way to Twilight Sparkle, an alicorn princess in the land of Equestria.

Though confused over how this is possible, Toby and Twilight decide to continue writing to each other, getting to learn all about each other and developing a strong friendship through only their written words.

Inspired by the movie Her as well as a short story I read in middle-school, along with a since-deleted story called Pen Pals by user Justin Daniels.

Just something I’d update now and then.

George has a lot to learn about Equestria. For the most part he's been doing that by reading all he can at the royal library, where he works. He's not too concerned with going out and making friends but meeting one pony may change how he feels about things.

Thanks to FallenAngel for commissioning this story.

I've been best friends with Twilight since I was young, but since she's ascended, I've been left with a lot to think about. How will this change things between us?

Thanks to T for commissioning this story.

One day, after a moment of silent fear, Twilight returns home and asks her special someone some very important questions. Lying in bed and half awake, he answers them.

Rainbow Dash isn't having a very good day. First she was in some dark place, then it turns out she's in the hospital. Oh, and she's apparently blind now.

Eventual Twidash!

This story is a sequel to For science

The continuation of Stella's and Twilight's Story. (read book one first)
We will take a look at Cadence's past and have some extra science as a bonus

Note: The story isn't really complete, I'm just going to make the following chapters on a separate story because it contains elements which the first story does not.

Link will be posted here once the new story is out

(HiE Fic)

When children were at the age where they worried whether their mother's home-cooked lunch will impress their friends, August was back home writing his thesis on plant cloning and recombinant DNA. By the age of eight, he was patenting his own invention- a machine which could detect spatial rifts from across the galaxy. And by the age of nine, he was nominated as a possible candidate for the Nobel Prize of Medicine. His talent in science was recognized world-wide and acknowledged by multiple science agencies. They funded his projects and companies competed for the papers he produced. Expectations were laid out and people started to believe that he was a glimmer of hope who could reach the limits of science.

August on the other hand, couldn't care less. Whether or not people showered him with praises, or if his work was accepted as a basis for a fundamental aspect of a scientific field, it didn't matter. He did what he did, and there was nothing more to it. For him, scientific discoveries were about as valuable as apple pie, nothing more, nothing less.

That is, until that fateful day when the "rift detector" goes off and a rip in the fabric of the universe was located a few blocks away from his house.

On that fateful day, August found something he was willing to die for.

He found Twilight Sparkle.

Chapters are long, but that's because I find it hard to place worthy content in a span of 1000-2500 words.

Proofread by this Idiot

Lastly, here's a quote from some guy

Hey look! it's that story again with humans and portals!

Announcement: I will be releasing the chapters by Arcs and not...well... chapters. Ill release a fulls storyline everytime I update. That does not mean that I will release for example Arc 2 in one day. I will release the chapters per day once I have completed the whole arc.
This is so that there are nor cliffhangers because everyone knows how much crap a cliffhanger does to your—

After meeting Twilight in Equestria and making her his marefriend, Max faces one last problem, how will his parents react to the idea of their possible future daughter-in-law being an... animal.

inspired by this dead thread at this group

Sex tag and Teen for... well you'll figure it out.

Also, please excuse some grammatical errors you encounter, I don't think I had the pleasure of going over this story more than one time. Time seems to be slipping away from me every passing moment ( but then again, who can escape the boundaries of time anyways?)

[Complete! With TVTropes apparently!]
Also, apparently, an animated trailer.

In a world of brass and steam, Twilight Sparkle had thought she had made a life-changing discovery with the invention of the telescope. For better or worse, she was correct.

Now her discovery has not only changed her life, but the lives of those she seeks out in her desperate attempt to contact the only other creature as lonely as Twilight herself.

It all would have been much simpler, but it had to be the one Twilight could only call The Mare on the Moon.

Decidedly not within walking distance, then.
