Sometimes it takes a literal thunderbolt to make you realize just how wrong things have been going in your life, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships.

After a long night at a bar, and with an unexpected visitor awaiting her at home, Delta Vee is about to experience just that.

This story is entirely based on Shinodage's ask blog telling the story of Delta Vee and her family.
Needless to say, all credit for the characters and places used in this story (as well as the cover image) goes to Shino himself. This story is merely an attempt to delve deeper into the events and relationships hinted at in the blog's storyline.

In case anyone is wondering about the title...

Life is good when you're a hopeful and confident young scientist.

Life is even better when you're a hopeful and confident young scientist with an ironclad plan for the future, and a partner by your side who not only shares your vision and dreams, but also loves you more than anything else.

Just like Black Honey, this story is entirely based on Shinodage's ask blog telling the story of Delta Vee and her family.
As usual, all credit for the characters and places used in this story (as well as the cover image) goes to the great man himself.

Cheers to NumberEight and Pahnazd for their proofreading and editing-work!

In case anyone is wondering about the title.

There comes a point in everyone's life where the only thing left to do is tear down everything you have, turn your life upside down, and start from scratch.

Having just experienced the hardest and roughest breakup of their lives, Delta Vee and Jet Stream have both reached that exact point, and now have to cope with being on their own again.

Just like Black Honey and Fast Car, this story is entirely based on Shinodage's ask blog telling the story of Delta Vee and her family. As always, all credit for the characters (and the awesome cover art!) goes to Shino!

Again, cheers to NumberEight and Pahnazd for their proofreading and editing!

This story was heavily inspired by the eponymous song by Rise Against.

Handy is not a happy man at the best of times.

He was even less happy to find himself in an alien world that offended the very laws of physics and got injured for his own stubborn refusal to accept the obvious path fate had apparently laid out for him.

For his trouble he is now on a journey, with the long term goal of finding his way back home, only to find himself involved in plots and machinations so far above his head and cares that he quickly becomes a pawn in a game played by powers who care not for his well-being.

Quite like his life back on Earth if you think about it.

Needless to say, Handy does not care for any of it. He is much more preoccupied with the more immediate and pressing mundane concerns of day to day life a human needs to worry about while in Equestria.

Obtaining a new pair of shoes for example.

All this and one almighty hangover, what's the worst that could happen?

Rated teen for harsh language and minor violence

if someone happens to know an artist that is willing to do a cover for this story, feel free to ask them for me, I just didn't want to go from having a cover to not having one

It has been some 900 years since Masao had vanished from Equestria, and now it is time for him to return, but all is not well in the Principality of Equestria. Join him as he faces new foes, and sparks a new love.

Subtle references to human on pony action, some explicit mentions, but no scenes; Human in Equestria; Mentions of different religious beliefs including reincarnation, and Christianity; One sort of graphic scene; One sort of darkish scene that implies something dark in a later chapter that is quickly resolved; politics, not a lot, but some; Character death

If you were to ask him, how he ended up in Equestria, he would answer that he didn’t know, nor care, not any more. You see, for Masao, all he cared about was serving his goddess, his princess. However, if you were to ask him how he came to be her ever loyal servant, her ever valiant and honorable Knight in shining armor, he would laugh and send you on your way. For our purposes however, we will explore the entirety of his life, from a little before the time he met his princess, to now. So pull up a chair, sit back and enjoy the story of the Lunar Knight, the only everlasting Knight of Equestria, the only good soul that practices black magicks with the approval of the crown, Ser Masao Darkheart…

Warnings: Character Death; Subtle references to human on pony action, some explicit mentions, but no scenes; Human in equestria;

It is the year 2038, and the Earth is slowly being consumed by a space-borne monstrosity dubbed the Black Tide, which is using nanotechnology to remake the planet into something hideously alien.

Erin Olsen works for Project Harmonics, humanity's last-ditch effort to find a new world before the Tide can wipe them out. But when that world is found, and it turns out to be occupied, Erin will need to find the courage to face the unknown in order to save the inhabitants of both worlds.

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy?[...] A new day will come."—Samwise Gamgee

Alan Williams Goldenhoof has been there and back again. He saved Equestria, saved an Empire, and even walked up to Death's door, shook his hoof, and then went on his merry way. He is loved in Ponyville, famous in Caterlot, and is considered to be a hero.

And now his heroics are about to end. Perhaps permanently.

With a shadow of arcane evil lurking in the back of his mind, and an old foe on a new battlefield, he has met his match. But no matter what they say, he knows the truth. He knows this guy cannot be trusted.

No matter what they say.

Book 3 of the Harmony for All Trilogy

This story is a sequel to A Novice Swordsman in the Canterlot Court

"Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody."—Mark Twain

Alan Williams Goldenhoof, Pendragon of Equestria, now married to the love of his life, has taken a step back from the world to enjoy life.

Of course, this is quickly ruined as the world comes to get him. Now Alan must leave behind his peaceful home in Equestria to face the rebel forces of his old enemy General Ironclaw. But all is not as it seems, for the General has a trick up his sleeve that will force Alan and his friends to face their darkest secrets.

This will get ugly.

Book 2 of the Harmony for All Trilogy.

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them."—William Shakespeare.

This story is about the latter. Alan Williams, a man trying to take a peaceful camping trip, finds himself in Equestria. Forcing to accept the idea that the show he has watched is not, in fact, fictional has taken a massive toll on his brain, torn as he is between the awesomeness of the situation as well as it's absurdity. What's worse, it seems he is not the first human to be teleported to Equestria, and now he has some big shoes to fill.

Greatness follows.

[...]To those just finding this 'un, ya found genuine gem. Keep your heads inside the respective chapter-comments. Watch out for spoilers. Buckle your seatbelt, fillies and gentlecolts. It's gonna be a wild ride.--Runcible Spoon
