Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.

But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.

Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?

And changed the character tags a bit.

If there's one thing we can count on, it's Twilight Sparkle, prized student and newest princess, to botch up a spell in her quest to master all of magic.

This time, it propels her to a new world, this one not inhabited by bipeds, but ponies like herself, and yet not like herself. She has entered the realm of Everglow, where the queen is a queen, and ponies suffer horribly lethal combat much more often than Equestria could manage under the peaceful reign of its alicorn caretakers.

Will she find her way back home, to her friends and responsibilities? Will she survive the harsh new realm she has entered?

What if one day you woke up suddenly drowning? The only saving grace you had was a multitude of pink limbs pulling you out and the next thing you knew you’re surrounded by dozens of Pinkie clones... and that you were one of them.

When Sunset Shimmer left Celestia's tutelage, she entered the magic mirror that had shown her dreams coming true, but instead of ending up in a simian mirror-version of Canterlot, she ended up in a strange school of magic, an esoteric, arcane, and clumsy kind of magic, but a potent one nonetheless.

Disoriented, and her mission somewhat derailed, Sunset is nonetheless determined to become an alicorn. She has glimpsed eternity, and will continue to pursue it. Whether the magics of the school of Hogwarts will aid her or not remains to be seen.

Put simply, this is my attempt at making a power fantasy entertaining. Read more about it here.

Thanks to ssokolow for his help with the story.

Do you ever regret things you did in the past? Whether it was accidentally insulting someone, or waging war against a concept with chocolate rain and licorice trees? Well, Discord doesn’t “regret” it, but he can admit he made a mistake or two.

But his past certainly disagrees.

This story is a sequel to Canterlot Has Fallen

Time marches forward in Equestria, and yet the allure of "what if?" remains. Twilight wonders about the "what ifs" as she tries to guide Equestria to a bright and prosperous future. Cadance wonders about the "what ifs" as she sees her daughter growing.

The power of "what if" tempts once again, but are the little ponies really ready for the answers?

This story is a sequel to Kitzumi the fox pony. Book one. [Edited]

This series follows Kitzumi the fox pony. Book Two. and starts out with Kitzumi practicing her transdimensional jumps and devolves to her getting lost in time and space. The stories will be about Kitzu exploring different worlds where we will meet various different variations of many of our favorite characters. We start out with Kitzu discovering a world where Twilight is still a little filly apprenticed to Princess Celestia, and after a second visit, gets a bit more than she bargained for on her return trip. Will Kitzu find her way home? Well, I suppose that depends on whether I want to be nice to her or not. What we can expect are some fairly random stories that Kitzumi gets injected into as she travels across time and space making a mess of events as she goes.

Oh well, just so long as the continuity police don't come after her she should be OK... provided of course her own mother doesn't mistake her for a changeling being it's only a matter of time till she encounters herself.

This is the story of Kitzumi Nova Nightfoal Silvermane, and how she deals with the outcome of a spell gone horribly wrong. Kitzumi, known as Kitzu or Kizu by her friends, by means not entirely understood, somehow manages to go back in time, and finds herself in the ruined castle of the Two Sisters where she is found by Twilight Sparkle. Twilight is astonished that such a young filly would be so far out in the forest, and even more so when Kitzu identifies Twilight as her mother.

Kitzu is now faced with having to live in a past were no one knows her, and Kitzu isn't like other ponies either. Kitzu is part enchanted fox. A fox pony to be exact. Not only that but she has both wings, having been born a pegasus, and a small horn that's barely noticeable when she first arrives in the past. Just a pegasus with a button horn. How well will she cope with her situation, what will Twilight do now that a foal has been suddenly dropped in her lap? Not to mention the paradox of raising a foal who hasn't even been born yet. To make things even more complicated Kitzu is afraid of Princess Celestia while looking to Princess Luna as a second mother. It wouldn't be long before Luna finds herself doing everything she can to help Twilight.

There have been a few minor alterations for the sake of clarity, and with any luck I've found the majority of the issues. And to be honest I really didn't find a lot. I've lost track of how many times I've been over this and everything else, and quite frankly, yes there are probably more mistakes I've missed, and at this point .... take it as is because it's not really worth the trouble for something I'm not getting paid for. If I was, it would have professional readers and editors. Some of the best story tellers in history never worried about whether or not they had everything perfect.

Kitzumi Nova the fox pony is trapped in the past, and the only way home is to travel to another dimension. It's a world of wizards and witches, and because Princess Celestia wants to make sure she gets some magical education while she is there, Miss Nova will be attending Hogwarts starting First-year in 1903 and finishing in 1992. From there the story will continue as we follow the efforts of ponies to help Wizard kind despite themselves. Will the world of Harry Potter survive?

1/27/2021: So far I'm up to chapter ten for editing and most of the edits have been really minor, so I decided to go ahead and resubmit now.

The explanation for why Nova is going to be in first-year so long can be found in Nightmare Moon’s Daughter if you don't want to read the entire Kitzumi's adventures through the looking glass. or wait till I cover the reason in this book.

The time of 1903 isn't canon from the lore of Harry Potter but based on the original build date of the type of locomotive most often seen being depicted as the engine for the Hogwarts express.

The CMC arrives in the eleventh chapter. Nova rescues a troll from the crusaders from a troll, and then...

There will be drama, there will be shenanigans, and there will be the occasional breakage of forth walls.

The character of Kitzumi Nova Moon in this story while bassed on the character in my previous books actually represents a different individual within the multiverse who has been having similar if not identical experiences. My reasoning for making her a different Nova is on account of a number of continuity issues that will simply be too much trouble to fix.
