A failed experiment.

Not exactly new for Twilight. But when the outcome brings forth its own science, the likes of which her nation hadn't even yet dared to hope for, the ponies of Equestria slowly realize that they're in for the adventure of a lifetime.

The problem is, they might just not be ready for the revolutions that technological advancement always brings.

And they're about to get hundreds of years of human science and advancements all at once.

As a forewarning, updates will likely be erratic. I have every intention of finishing this story, it's just that my life has been rather crazy lately as I'm sure many of you can imagine.

Also, if you are going to leave a thumbs down, please leave a comment detailing why. Thumbs downs don't tell me much, and I can't make the story better until people tell me what's wrong with it.
Thank you for your time.

As he reclaimed his rightful throne, Discord banished anypony who could stop him to a dimensional backwater. His victory was all but assured... but that's what he'd thought last time. This time around, he included a little insurance. Now one Stanley Baxter must struggle against the machinations of a mad god, the caprice of chaos magic, and the increasing instability of his her his own mind.

A side story of TwistedSpectrum's Five Score, Divided by Four.

Mort, also known as the Pale Pony (of Death), has been tasked to take time off from his rigorous duties of reaping souls. Seeking guidance, he is directed towards the town of Ponyville, to learn about the magic of friendship from Twilight Sparkle and her friends. All he needs to do is keep his true nature a secret. That shouldn't be too difficult...right?

Special thanks to Specter-Von-Baren and Pyrite Foolsgold for their help in proofreading and editing this story, as I really needed it. Additional thanks to Pilate, Chuckle5, Unimpressive Vagaries and Admiral Biscuit as well! Couldn't have done it without all their help!

Pandinus Imperator (You can call him Pan, he won't mind) is knocked back in time during the Canterlot Invasion, and accidentally kills King Sombra on arrival. Instead of being executed, the changeling is surprised to find himself being hailed as a hero, and is promptly put on the throne as the new monarch, the Crystal Emperor. However, Pan now faces a great many problems, among them Celestia and Luna, who seem certain that the changeling is secretly up to no good, as well as several political factions secretly plotting to undermine his reign. There's also the tiny problem of the constant snowstorm that threatens to cut the city off from the outside world permanently.
The Crystal Ponies need a hero now more than ever before. Why did they get a changeling instead?

While not truly a part of Bucking Nonsense's Changeling-Verse, the same rules regarding changeling abilities and society apply.

There is one thing that Luna cannot stand. Wasted potential.

Luna, Princess of the Night, Keeper of the Dreaming Realms, carefully watches over her subjects, looking for the disturbing signs of those who contemplate the unthinkable, throwing away their potential. And when they go to dispose of themselves, Luna does what she can to be there to collect the trash... which Luna usually discovers to be treasure.

So when a young pegasus can no longer deal with the daily grind and moves to take his own life, Luna is more than happy to claim it so she can use it for her own purposes.

You don't know how valuable life is until it is taken away and claimed by another.

When a Necromancer is hurled into the place between places then escapes to another world at the cost of his life it is not the end. Being a Necromancer he returns to life with ease, but is skirting the edges of consciousness, and unable to truly wake as a mysterious figure uses magic to put him on the back of a horse to carry him away into the night.

To make matters worse the phylactery he used to save his own life recreated him as a member of the dominant race with... some errors. His injuries are still present and he's now in a much smaller body with his magic drained to nothingness.

So now he's horribly injured, held captive by an unknown force, in an unfamiliar body, in an unfamiliar world and completely exhausted. He's had worse days. He just can't think of any off the top of his head. So familiar territory then, nothing to worry about.

(Thank you again Tulip for the amazing piece of artwork.)

On Hiatus due to Life. Sorry.

A completely mad pony is given a second chance to do... something. He also doesn't know what that something is.

It's an important something though.
So he sets off to Celestia knows where to do Luna knows what in order to complete his goal.
Who knows, he may even do something interesting along the way.

~~Spoiler~~ There will be shenanigans that ensue.
Not a crossover with any one specific thing, (Well, except for spoilers!) but more a general crossover of several things. Cameos are thataway!

Enjoy rocks.

the Everdark: A twisting labyrinth of raw stone that spirals far beneath the crust of the surface. Few ponies dare delve so deep into the subterranean tunnels and caverns far below Equestria, or would dream of ever attempting to traverse the maze of rock and abyssal cliffs that make up such a terrifying place.
Flash Acumen suddenly finds himself separated from his friends as, during a friendly hiking trip, he is plummeted into the abyssal depths of Equestria following a sudden and violent Earthquake. With only his hiking harness, and a meager bag of supplies, he’s going to need to find his way out of the pitch-black caves of the spiraling Everdark before he starves to death, or the denizens of the deep devour him. But despite his bleak circumstances, he finds help from an unexpected sharp-fanged ally.
