While dealing with post traumatic stress brought on by the events surrounding his wedding, Shining armor is awoken in the middle of the night by a call requesting his presence. An unmasked changeling has appeared at the gates to Canterlot requesting to speak with Shining armor, and he's not speaking to anypony else. What does he want? And is there something sinister behind this, or is it all in Shining's head?

An ordinary man is working as simple movie theater ticket master, when suddenly he is stripped away from his life on Earth. Little did he know, he has a different destiny that awaits him, in a land he seems to have never heard of before, nor can he remember anything before he was, well, born into the magical world of Equestria."

Months after Princess Twilight Sparkle's coronation, Princess Luna has learned to speak normal and more modern and has found a special somepony, only to have him taken from her by an unforeseen accident. But he left part of himself behind as Luna gives birth to an alicorn colt a few months after his death and Twilight's Coronation. Follow her son, Moon Dust's immortal life from the time he is but a little foal, whom everypony adores, to a rambunctious troublemaker in his kid years, and then to a brave strong alicorn stallion, defending his subjects, and the mare he loves, against the forces of evil that threaten them as a grown up.

What new adventures await him as he is taught the values of friendship? What will he learn from his experiences? And what does this reoccurring dream of some sort of machine running into him mean once he is older? Does his mom and Aunt Celestia possibly know? Only one way to find out. Please read and review. This story is told from my OC character's point of view, who is the main character, but some parts may switch to other ponies' points of view for certain scenes.

(For Chapters that focus on his days as a baby foal, and for some other chapters afterwards: "CUTENESS WARNING! Attention: Do not read if you have a weak heart.")

A terrible new day rises when a tragedy, foreseen only by Celestia but preventable by none, occurs right in the middle of Canterlot, turning Twilight Sparkle's world upside-down. Now, all of Equestria is looking to her to hold the broken nation together, all while she tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.

It's Twilight Sparkle's coronation day. She's ready to go, all dolled up by Rarity, and the three Princesses await her okay on the spell. She nods. Their horns light, and a deep warmth spreads through her. She closes her eyes.

"Nn- Twilight!"

Her eyes open. Spike, running towards her. His claw brushes the magical aura surrounding her. A roll of thunder echoes, and he is thrown against the wall. The magic surrounding her rises in turmoil, battering and burning, and it's all she can do to stay awake. It ends with a snap, dropping her to the plush ground in a heap. The Princesses are crying, Spike is unconscious, and Twilight... Twilight is no longer a petty Unicorn.

But she's not much of an Alicorn either.

As Twilight and her friends faced off against Nightmare Moon inside the decrepit castle of the pony sisters deep within the Everfree Forest, The mare in the moon strikes first, defeating the element bearers. In an attempt to finish the job Nightmare freezes in action intent to discover the familiar energy hiding underneath the vale of her first victim. What lies underneath could change the lives of both Nightmare Moon and the pony forever.

----------------

In this Story, Nightmare Moon was not neccassery Evil. Also was Celestia here a thousand years ago not the Pony, as we know her.

I didn't hate Celestia. I really like her! This Story is only an attempt for a Story with a diffrent Past as we know it.

Rated Teen for some......"unprincess" like Words from Nightmare Moon and Celestia, maybe others to^^

New Cover art! Made by happyowl

In an attempt to forge peace between the Dragons and the Ponies the Dragon King has deemed his daughter of proper age and mind to act as ambassador. Namely he has sent his daughter to make friends of the Elements of Harmony.

It is generally a simple task of course, and the one of a kind Draken-Pony won't have too much trouble getting to know the ponies at all seeing how she partly is one. On top of that it isn't too hard to talk to the ponies either, and they seem to accept her.

The real trouble is figuring out what kind of shenanigans will ensue as she discovers the modern marvels of pony culture and technology.

~Takes place post T-day after Twilight's become an alicorn.
Picture is hand drawn, first draft. My friend is currently getting all computer tech-y on it for me.

Lithe is inspired by IceofWaterlock's Twilight before he finished 'I Wasn't Prepared for This'. Damn good story by the by, go read it.

Twilight's library is chock full of books. And her life along with all of her friends are about to be turned upside down. When she stumbles across a secret area in her library she never knew existed, she finds an old book along with a letter hidden in the pages. Now Twilight and her friends set out on a journey to find six more ponies who come from the country that neighbors Equestria from the East. Alamante. The land of elements and a place where everypony has a unique gift over one of the six elements of nature. Wind, fire, ice, plasma, water, and earth.

Once found, Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie must learn to use the Elements of Harmony and combine them with the forces of the six Elements of Nature. Join up with Twilight and her gang along with Typhoon, Terra, Agua, Gem, Pyro, and Cryo as they work together to try and save Equestria from an evil force thought to be gone, and learn a friendship lesson none of them ever thought imaginable.

Rating changed to teen for language and violence.

A Metroid Crossover

A meteor, resistant to magical manipulation, crashes in Equestria, Planet Equis, and soon spreads an unknown poison throughout the land. Containment is all but failing and the Princesses have little power to stop the spread of the Great Poison. The Elements of Harmony are of little use as no knowledge exists of this threat that consumes all life. Help comes from a certain Hunter, clad in metal.

Samus Aran will not only fight for her life as always, but her own sanity as well as these ponies that she begrudgingly starts seeing as allies. New horrors and abilities await her as a reason to fight slowly festers within her, possibly unlocking something she had been denied for so long: Friendship.

Notes and Resources:

This takes place after Echoes. The events of Corruption will have not happened yet. In terms of MLP, consider everything up to and including the Crystal Empire. Princess Twilight does not exist here, etc. The official Metroid Timeline can be found here.

As well, this story references the manga in many places. Reading of it is not required and I try my best to explain the context, but if you're interested, both volumes can be found here.

EDIT: This story was written over two and a half years, beginning in 2013. You'll probably notice the difference in writing as the chapters progress.
