This story is a sequel to Divine Entertainment

Atlas, Discord and Starswirl have safely arrived in the newly founded Equestria. The ponies that came before them already built up quite a few flourishing cities, setting aside their differences and living together in harmony.

Close to one such newly founded town, Atlas built what he personally insists on calling a "secret lab" where he conducts research and experiments to gain a better understanding of runic magic. Assisted by his adopted son Discord and his scholarly friend Starswirl, they'll have to recreate this lost art if Atlas wants to be prepared for the foretold showdown between the greek gods. All while keeping an eye out for the events that are supposed to bring the true Equestria into existence.

This sequel story will focus mostly on Atlas' research into runes and the timeline that is known to him. Therefore I've decided to replace the adventure tag from the last story with slice of life, although there might still be some adventure-y chapters.

On a fateful night, Alex wins the divine lottery and is approached by Hermes, an Olympian god. He is promised one wish, whatever it may be.

Alas, the encounter doesn't quite work out like he hoped it would.

Alex finds himself thrown into a world that is wholly unfamiliar to him. Gone are his dreams of meeting the mane six. He doesn't even have the luxury of keeping his human form.

Having to deal with an unfamiliar surrounding and a new body, this story follows him on his way to find his own place in this alien world.

Character tags will be added as they become relevant. Teen rating is mostly for some bloody scenes. (nothing too gory). Also, the prologue plays far off in the
future of this story and we won't be returning to that point in quite some time.

Though Spike has learned who he is with help of the Great Dragon Migration, he is still left with the question of what he is. Accepting that his personality is different from that of his own kind, but now seeing that there are more physical differences that can not be ignored.

Just as before, Twilight's vast knowledge is unable to help. But, when the purple dragon learns of an old dragon of legend who shares similar differences, he is determined to learn more, With the help of his friends, Spike sets off to follow this dragon's ancient wake, his hopes high to find some scrap of insight into his existence.

But with so many uncertainties, will Spike find the answers he seeks, or will the disappointment of failure crush his resolve forever?

No marriage is without its challenges, especially not that of Spike and Rarity. Despite the fairy tale-like circumstances surrounding their courtship (Beauty and the Beast is a popular reference made at dinner parties), their relationship is far from perfect: indeed, the combination of her overwhelmingly large dress orders and his frequent extended trips across Equestria as Celestia's personal envoy makes it seem as though neither one of them has any time for their significant other. Yet there is one key factor, one constant variable in their lives that will always be there to remind them of how much they love and care for one another, no matter what issues they face.

Thank Celestia they have Claire.

Loyalty; Generosity; Laughter; Honesty; Kindness; Magic;
These are the pillars upon which Equestrian society stands. Upon these principles, Harmony is maintained, and civilization flourishes.

But there are other magics in this world. Intelligent life requires three things:
Wisdom, to decide upon an action.
Courage, to go through with the action.
Power, to carry out the action.

An individual with Wisdom, Courage, and Power... can change the world.

Evil unlike any Equestria has ever seen has come to the Everfree, and through proximity, Ponyville. The Mane 6 must attempt to overcome the darkness they are faced with; it will not be easy.

But they will not face such evil alone.

The Hero has come.

A Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and MLP crossover.

"Sunset, you weren't the first unearthly threat to come to this world, and you won't be the last. If we seem calm in the face of strange events, it's not because we're oblivious or indifferent to them. It's because they're not strange to us. The Fall Formal may have been the most important night of your life, but to us... it was Thursday."

(Slice-of-life adventures of Canterlot High's unlikely band of monster hunters.)

During World War II, a young demon boy was summoned to Earth to upset the balance of the war by German soldiers. But instead, he was rescued and raised by good men of the Allies. They raised him to be a good person and fight for Humanity. It was that very day that the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence began. They named this demon child...Hellboy!

But, in an alternate timeline, in the world of Equestria, the evil King Sombra summoned an alternate version of this child for himself. By the time the demon child was brought into the pony world, Princesses Celestia and Luna had arrived with their small army to defeat him. The two rulers had banished Sombra and all was well.

They found the young child, who was transformed into a small red colt with two horns and a giant stone hoof. One of the soldiers suggested that they raise him, teach him all about right and wrong. The princesses agreed.

Since then, the rulers of Equestria had created the heroic organization known as the Supernatural Police Department(S.P.D.) Raised by former Royal Guard, Bold Helm, the young colt grew up to be Equestria's greatest hero. They named him....Hellcolt!

Many years later, Hellcolt teams up with the Mane 6, the Wonderbolts and one of Luna's Night Guard to fight a powerful evil that has come to conquer Equestria. It's time for our favourite demon hero to give the bad guys a little bit of hell!

Twilight's power, along with that of Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, has been claimed by Tirek. Drunk on power, the demon-centaur is unleashing destruction upon Equestria, his reign of terror just beginning.

But there is hope. A crystalline chest, a gift from the Tree of Harmony, able to be opened by six keys. Keys which Twilight has now claimed the last of. All they can do is hope, hope that whatever is contained inside the chest is enough to stop Tirek.

And then something goes wrong ...

Note: This story is in no way connected with my other fanfics. It's very much a one-off in good fun.

A hapless young stallion finds himself in need of a source of employment. Fortunately, it seems lady luck is shining on him, as he returns to his foalhood home of Ponyville to work for the Apple family with the ever expanding work that the farm has to offer. He is even working with a dear old friend of his. Not a thing could possibly go wrong now.... Right?

But he quickly finds out that a life in Ponyville is anything but easy, and how a friendship can change and alter over the course of time. Most likely an awkward mess. All the while unknowingly helping to cause a ruffle in the feathers of two good friends.
