"Light and Darkness exist alone; But shadow lies between their zones
Fickle truth, and little wit; Take the reigns and bite the bit
Can you not see- never did hear? Patience alone brings death near!
Destiny brings all to close; but of your fate, no one knows"
- Unknown, 341 Anno Domina

A darkness lies in Canterlot- a place abandoned, for those left to rot
A colt, dying, without a name- saved now by princess's shame
A tale woven, end long foretold- powers play beyond the fold
Is it destiny, is it fate- for them all soon to suffocate?
Celestia saved the abandoned foal- only for him to pay the toll
But family now, soon, forever- Solstar's instincts always clever
Can they learn, can they wake- smell the fire 'fore day break?
A wretched light, a noble crime- shadows between have blurred the line.

He wants peace- she, a son; but have either of them really won?
Their lives in warring gods' hands; their story's outcome is already planned...

First book in the tale of Andromeda Solstar

I was once a woman in her twilight, my children both old and fresh.

Now I am the child.

I was once a mother and a wife, my family held importance above even my own well-being in my heart.

Now I am orphaned.

I was once a respected human being, a woman to treat as an equal.

Now I am simply an assistant.

I was once happy.

Now...

... Now I am Barbara The Dragoness.

Barbara the assistant.

Barbara the child.

Barbara the widow.

Barbara...

The Lost Soul.

This is the story of my second childhood, and how I found the strength to keep moving forward.

After Planet Aether has been brought to peace and stabilized, Samus Aran doesn't get much rest when she's sent to reconnoiter a nameless planet on the edge of Galactic Federation space. Ostensibly, she was supposed to determine the size of a Space Pirate operation that was mining Phazon on this planet... and mark the place for a quick strike by Federation forces if it came down to it.

But when things become much more complicated beyond what her mission brief had stated, she may find that her fate and those of some unlikely allies may be intertwined. The battle that rages on the ground in a fight for survival and duty may have Samus questioning herself when a new front in an undeclared, nameless war is opened... in her mind.

-This is in no way related to Metroid Equis. No required reading, no relation, nothing. Pretend it does not exist.
-Takes place between Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3. Metroid Timeline can be found here.
-Art by Pridark, sourced to her DA. Full picture is there.
-Story assumes very basic knowledge of Metroid universe, but I'll be doing my damndest to make this as accessible as possible.

Stella finds a new world full of wonders, what starts as pure research becomes something life changing for her.
There are stories with characters dance around each other and finding each other just at the end of the story... this is not one of them. The focus is on their relationship.

"sex" tag because of all the sexual innuendo, without writing explicitly what they are doing.
There is now a mature version if you want explicit sex scenes. For science (mature version)

Sunday Writer. Daughter of Sunset Shimmer and Soul Writer. Having a huge crush on her childhood friend, she is determined to make this boy fall in love with her and do whatever it takes to be with him.

.

My faithful student, Twilight. I ask that you please come to Canterlot immediately. I have an important task for you to take. This task will help us get a better understanding of species other than pony kind. Your teacher, Princess Celestia.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What could Princess Celestia have for me to do? What will happen to me!?

Twilight and Shining Armor have a little sister named Light Step. Everypony tells Light Step how lucky she is to be related to such great heroes.

Light Step wishes she could smother them both.

A human gets pulled into Equestria by a spell cast by Twilight. He has a lot to learn about this new world and all its inhabitants. Will he be able to cope and live among the ponies, or will he be treated as an outcast, forced to run and hide as he tries to find a way home?

This is an alternate universe.

This is my first attempt at a story, so be brutal. Don't be afraid to tell me if I messed up royally.
