If you haven't played the games, and/or have simply little to no knowledge of the Homeworld universe, I'd like you to point out anything that doesn't seem to make sense, or that appears to require inside knowledge to understand, in the comments. I will either alter the story to explain it, or simply explain it myself in response.

The timeline of the story is set prior to the finale of Season 4, nothing further from that in the canon has been implemented (no twilacorn, the Elements of Harmony are still intact, the Griffins aren't poor, and the Dragons aren't ruled by a tyrant).

Edited by AlicornPriest up to chapter 10, I believe.

Special thanks to:

Icebeerg and Wobble, for looking through the story.

Zaid ValRoa for editing and advice on the revamped short description and looking through the story.

Section for getting me into social sci-fi in the first place with the excellent Foundation stories by Isaac Asimov.

What happens when a pony doesn't actually like the cutie mark that they receive? Perhaps one more embarrassing than most?

Well, that's when Starlight Glimmer's special talents come into play.

UPDATE: labeled as complete. I really can't think of anything else to add to this story.

Discord goes on a vacation, granting Rainbow some of his powers!

All hell breaks loose Everypony has a good laugh!

Please... I honestly don't know what my original idea even was after I finished this story...

Edit: WHAT THE HELL HOW DID THIS GET FEATURED.
THIS WAS MY FIRST STAB AT COMEDY WAT.
Edit #2: Now with a sequel! Fluttershy Builds An Ark!

Featured: September 5th, 2016?!?!

Everything must end eventually. Ponies will drift apart as they grow, each of them pulled down a separate path of life. For some, it's a paved road lined with bright lights and jeweled sunshine. For others, it is merely a simple trail with only the light of the stars, sun, and moon to guide them.

Inspired by this comic

A story based upon the kindest pony in all Equestria. Fluttershy, who is currently going through her most important stages at school, is having trouble coping without the confidence and good friends she needs to overcome the challenges ahead.

Having her caring, grandmother for support. Fluttershy seeks for all that she's missing in her life. Friends.

Only upon having these, will she truely be ready for whatever life has install for her.

The perfect bioweapon: takes effect within minutes of exposure, has a 100% success rate, and those exposed spread it wherever they go. Armed with this powerful new weapon, an evil organization attempts to bring about a reign of terror unlike any seen in the world before. Unfortunately, the perfect weapon doesn't work quite as intended. Instead of killing its victims, it changes them into ponies.

Tiny, adorable ponies.

The world is doomed.

This story was written for the Transformations group story contest. It was originally published under the name "Consequences," though this story has been heavily revised since then.

Thanks to my usual crew Two Bit and Sparktail for the editing, and for everyone who submitted feedback on the original contest entry. As usual, my coverart is by the fantastic Zutcha, so go ahead and check him out of you haven't already! The story's changed a great deal since then, hopefully for the better.

If there's anything Rainbow Dash likes more than a good prank, it's being told that she's good at pranking. So when Princesses Celestia and Luna show up at her front door to tell her just that, she is delighted and not suspicious in the very least.

This'll end great. Just you watch.

This story is a sequel to Useless

Twilight has suffered for so long. I've seen her lose friends, her family, her innocence, and more from the war we had with humanity. Ever since the surrender, she has spent every waking moment trying to earn both her redemption as well as Equestria's for our sins against the humans. Now that she has finally done so, she is ready to rest at last.

I just wish it wasn't her final rest.

Based on The Conversion Bureau series.

When one's genetic template is overwritten, there tend to be... side effects. Most of the side effects come into play immediately.

Sometimes, though, one has to live with a new biochemistry for a while before it triggers.

It's actually very well documented.

This story is a sequel to Hurricane's Way

It's no secret that pegasi have a long, proud history as the warrior tribe. Their race boasts some of ponykind's greatest military minds, fearless legions that struck fear into the hearts of any who dared oppose them with their mighty lightning lancers and thunderhead squads.

Honor, duty, and protecting their own kind were the very foundation of the old legions, a notion that holds true to this very day. The strong protect the weak, and the weak stay safe under wing, grateful for their care.

But just how do they make such a big decision? Who determines the stronger pony out of two so closely bonded?

For all those questions, there is but one answer:

The Challenge.
