Lyra Heartstrings has always known that humans exist, even if none of the other ponies in her life have ever appreciated that fact. But aside from a few enigmatic ancient prophecies and a popular fantasy series, there haven't ever really been any authoritative sources on what humans were really like. Years of discouragement begin to take their toll on Lyra's faith in the strange and wondrous beings with their strange limbs and ways of sitting.

Until one day, when Lyra finds a strange device on the ground outside Ponyville, and it starts talking to her with short messages printed on its tiny screen. So instead of search for the device's proper owner, Lyra takes it home, hoping for the chance to talk to a real human.

Takes place ostensibly in the universe of My Little Apprentice, though very little connection with that story is expected. Familiarity with that story and its sequel are neither expected nor required.

This story is a sequel to Harmony Defended

Ten years ago, Equestria was nearly destroyed in a combined invasion of its worst enemies. Only with the timely intervention of its erstwhile human allies was the nation spared slavery and extinction. The war is over now, and the treaties of peace faithfully followed even after a decade. While earth ponies help rebuild Earth's ecosystem, human tractors erect roads and cities with terrifying speed.

Sweetie Belle helped make victory possible, but the cost of that victory was one of her best friends. Equestria is safe now, and ponies are spreading to the stars. Why doesn't she feel happier?

Rainbow Dash has always wanted to be a Wonderbolt, but all she's ever seen has been the glory of it, never understanding what it truely meant beyond the best of the best. However, someone she's long looked up to is going to reveal truths she will need to know to make an important decision...all the while holding back something even more important.

"Josh, Anya. I know you two can hear me. Listen, I've just discovered something horrible about the Mane Six, something that threatens every single one of us! They're already searching the globe for me! You have to hear this before they find me!"

As always, let me know what you thought once you're finished reading. Hope you Enjoy!

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, humans were suddenly all over the freakin' place.

Legends said nothing but horrible things about them, and that the only way to deal with a human was to make them no longer be a human. First contact showed otherwise, and cooler heads prevailed. The newly-organized Transmogrification department was gutted, with most of the agents sent to work elsewhere. Many government employees were organized to help the humans settle in; the best and brightest got to work at the extremely challenging job of calculating multiversal exchange rates so that human cash could be traded in for bits.

Now, for the first time ever, you can see what it's like to work at the Conversion Bureau.

This is by far my most popular story, so... thanks, everyone!

Friends never say goodbye... Right? Sadly, there is one thing that cannot be fixed with the magic of friendship, as a group of six close friends suddenly discover. Can their friendship survive the one inevitable end of all things?

(Note: This story was inspired by Deathscar's version of End of the Rainbow. If you haven't read his yet, I really recommend checking it out. Here's the url: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/17885/end-of-the-rainbow.) Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Constructive criticism is welcome.

A Sonic the Hedgehog/MLP:FiM crossover. Eggman enacts a new plan to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog, one which involves our beloved cyan pegasus. Rainbow Dash is pulled into the world of Mobius, and struggles to find a place for herself and make it back home. However, someone unseen is pulling the strings of this conflict for his own ends, and everyone is being pulled into it...whether they like it or not. And what will Rainbow Dash do, when she is forced to choose between her friends and her own heart?

Paradoxes are impossible by definition. You can't create a paradox, the universe won't let you.

So how exactly did Twilight manage to create a closed time loop?

A silly one-shot idea that popped into my head after seeing the Season 4 finale, that wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it out.

Twist has a colt in mind to be her special somepony, but she doesn't feel ready to approach him just yet. She's read plenty of books and has even started writing romantic fiction of her own, but it still isn't enough for her to really feel like she understands relationships. She decides to ask other ponies for their perspectives on romance.

(Note that this may contain some advice that can apply to real-world relationships.)
