Ponyville is a small, charming beach town on Equestria's coast, but it has a tragic history for Rarity. Despite this, she moves with her family to Ponyville to start her fashion business. While she begins to adjust to her new life she still does not believe the "Legend of the Mermare" that visits the Ponyville beaches and docks. Giving trinkets and gifts from the sea in exchange for a book. Especially if everypony in town, even her sister Sweetie Belle, seem to believe it.

So, when she goes one sunny afternoon to relax and read a book by the sea she very quickly realizes that the legend is not only very true but the mermare intrigues her like no pony has ever before.

Lyra and Bon-Bon want to have children, but being mares, they cannot conceive one. However, a young filly without a home may well become the daughter of two loving mothers.

Lyra finds said filly one evening and offers her a stay at their place for the night, but caring for the filly brings maternal instincts to life

rated teen, just in case

new cover art thanks to watermane2000 who's other great pieces of wonderful art, pony and otherwise, you can find HERE

My name is Ril, I'm the queen, well proto-queen, of the newly made hive in Equestria and before I say anything else no, I'm not evil.

I had a plan for my hive, get it going, expand it a bit, and become a great queen, it's a great plan. The only problem is that Queen Chrysalis made it seems that every changeling are evil, which is not true! Another problem is that Equestria isn't as a pushover then I thought.

Now with a new hive that is maybe going to be burned to the ground what could I do to save it? Well, try and get a peace treaty going of course.

And there's another problem, the diplomacy they use is much different than mine, it seems threatening them that I would punch them if they don't agree is not diplomacy. Well, I grew up near the Griffen Empire and had danger all around me so that's my diplomacy.

Oh and there also the fact that I kinda accidentally ponynapped the Alicorn of Love. That doesn't really help me at the moment, right?

I don't own the cover art, I just found in on the internet.

Also, the cover art isn't what she looks like, it's the closest to what I have in mind.

The story has been inspired by Queen Aze story, The Wedding Aftermath go check it out if you don't already know it.

Rated Teen for language, Ril will start swearing when she's mad.

This story is a sequel to Across the Sea of Time

[First Person] [Alternating Perspectives] [Science Fantasy]
The Sea Series: Book Two (Alpha)

NOTE: You do not need to read the previous book to fully enjoy Beneath the Sea of Sand.

The changelings of the Emerald Hive are known mostly as a highly reclusive bunch of people squatting under a hill in the Equestrian Badlands. Ponies living near their hive have reported strange happenings more often than not, weird lights in the sky at night, strange sounds, and the fact no pony who has visited has ever said more then a few words about their hive at all have made many ponies uneasy over the years.

After an attack on a Diamond Dog mine to seize a large amount of Arcaneite, the Emeralds Queen is revealed to be Phoenix, the AI of an alien starship changeling hive spent generations repairing. To many ponies amazement, Phoenix quickly made an offer of mutual assistance and advanced technology in exchange for food for her changelings.

Celestia decides to accept Queen Phoenix offer, but with one condition: Twilight, her friends, and their immediate families must first live within the Emerald's hive for a year to learn if their cultures are compatible, and what dangers her technology might present.

Beneath the Sea of Sand is a work of Science Fiction, specifically the Science Fantasy genera, which combines tropes and elements from both science fiction and fantasy. You can expect to see magic and all things FiM (made a bit more Swords and Sorcery), and also crashed alien space craft, AIs, high technology, and themes meant to explore the human condition.

Beneath the Sea of Sand is inspired by FiM, my old D&D games, the works of Isaac Asimov, Clive Cussler, and Douglas Adams. While there is a running joke and plot point involving Star Trek, you do not need any knowledge of Trek to enjoy Beneath the Sea of Sand.

STORY IS ON HIATUS WHILST I REGAIN THE MOTIVATION TO WRITE. IT IS NOT DEAD.

This story is a sequel to Minding the Gap

Life takes its course, and after telling the world of their relationship, it was only natural for them to take the next step. Now they find themselves married, with a lot of new things to worry about, not the least of which are their children.

This story was a challenge to myself to write in a different way from how I would usually approach a story, and as such it will not be written in chronological order. It will, however, be rearranged into chronological order once it is complete.

This story is a sequel to Why Ancient Rituals Don't Always Work

It's been almost eleven months since the event at the Ancient Mareyan Sun Temple. Ahuizota and Derring Do are settling into the life of a family, ready to raise their kid. There's still much for the young couple to learn, and it can only be taught with time.

They just cross fingers and feathers and hope they don't screw it up.
