  • Highly Recommended 83 stories My Legends shelf is rather small, and that's quite intentional, so I can understand if you're looking for more than that. You want a good story? You want a tale that, even if it doesn't quite qualify for the Legends shelf, I would highly recommend? Well, here you go!

  • Intend to Read 116 stories This is the stuff that's gotten my attention, but I haven't actually had the chance to either read or finish reading it. Either that or I'm waiting until it's completed to avoid the cliffhangers.


  • Liked 214 stories Basically a hoarding of anything ranging from something that got a smirk out of me, to stories that had me bawling like a child. If I liked it, it's here.


  • Legends 3 stories Here's the stories I consider to be the greatest works ever produced by the authors on this site. If your work is in here, consider yourself saluted. Also, if the story is part of a series, I will only add the first story to this shelf, and not the following sequels. They may get added to the Highly Recommended list though. In order to qualify for this shelf, the story in question must have deeply affected not only its readers, but the fandom itself. Past Sins is one example. It was a brilliant story, and cemented Nyx as an OC very few in the fandom don't know.


  • Legends... But... 0 stories I have a standing rule that the stories in my Legends shelf must be either completed or there's no real end to them. However, I don't want to leave out the amazing works that simply aren't labelled as complete, so here's where you'll find them.

  • Shadow Central 3 stories I never really thought I would ever make a shelf like this. I don't like most Dark stories, as they tend to go way too over the top... but I actually found one I enjoy. It turned my stomach a few times, but I enjoyed the story. Here's the shelf dedicated to the Dark stories I liked.


  • The FEELS!!! 15 stories If you're looking for something heartwarming, tooth rotting cute, or just all around feel good, then these are my personal suggestions.


  • PWNY-Verse 25 stories These are the tales of the PWNY-verse, tales of love, family, and friendship.


  • Can't... Stop...Laughing! 30 stories These are the stories that had me in stitches quite often as I was reading them. If you're looking for something to brighten up your day, look no further.

Book I
Meet Dusk Noir, a unicorn stallion from Canterlot. He attends Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, has a liking to learning and reading and has a unique magical talent. He seems like he would be happy, but there's just one problem: he doesn't have any friends. It's not that he doesn't want them, but he just feels that he wouldn't be worth the time of anypony. He sees himself as unremarkable, a waste of space and not much to bother with. There's only one pony he'd even consider being good enough as a friend for and he doesn't even know how to say the first word to her. It seems like he will always be alone.
Until one night, when he discovered by the Princess of the Sun and is sent to Ponyville to meet her at last. Can he achieve the goal of earning her friendship and much more besides or will he be simply left alone?
This is a story that I began as a sort of creativity outlet when I discovered how much of a fan I was of the series. From there, it just kind of grew and I enjoyed continuing it. Doubtless, you probably know what it's going to be about before you even read it and would even be tempted to point it out. I won't try and change what you think, all I ask is that you give it a chance.
There are two more stories following this, both of which along with the fuller version of this one, can be found on my fanfiction account. Just search my username and you'll find them, if you really want to read more that is. I'll try posting on as regular a basis as I can. That is, if it's received well.
This first one isn't my best, I'll admit that much, but I certainly did try my best with this one and what I had planned for it. I hope you enjoy it.
The cover was by Quillin Words and he did a fantastic job, thanks dude!

Batman has defeated many foes in his life. The Joker, Two Face, The Riddler, Poison Ivy...just to name a few. However, no matter how hard he tries, there was one foe he could never defeat...Time.

Finally beaten, he admits defeat, ready to give up...

But a tiny white unicorn might have something to say about that. A single word that gives him hope. A legacy. A way for Batman to conquer time itself, even if Bruce Wayne cannot.

That word...is "Father".

Tony Stark had everything he wanted in his life. He had his company. He had a carefree life where he could simply enjoy himself and tinker with whatever came to mind...and he was a super hero to boot! He couldn't imagine ever being happier.

And then a rainbow-maned Pegasus foal dropped into his life, and turned it upside down.

Lucky for Tony Stark that the multiverse is much more imaginative than he is.

Will freely mix several different Iron Man continuities based on what makes the story work best.

Red Team had been given an assignment. It wasn't the usual sort of assignment. They were assigned to defend their base 'until further notice'...and then never received notice. All announcements sounded pre-recorded, and enemy assaults were few and far between. The enforced inactivity was slowly fraying the bonds of the team...

...until something unexpected arrived. A tiny creature appears one day in their fortress, in need of compassion and care. Somehow, she finds that in this group of strange individuals, as she becomes their baby.

Pincer is a changeling, a proud soldier of Queen Chrysalis. After the failed invasion of Canterlot, he finds himself trapped and at the mercy of Princess Celestia's Royal Guard. Believing that Celestia sees his species as nothing but soulless monsters, he prepares himself for the worst. The weeks crawl by, marked by an endless series of questions he will not answer for fear of endangering his friends and family at The Hive. As his nerves wear down and his interrogators learn just how ruthless he thinks they are, they have nothing to report but his belief that they will kill and destroy his kind without mercy.

Celestia steps in to prove him wrong, and what Pincer learns leaves him questioning everything he has ever known — but also gives him hope for what he'd never thought possible.

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.
