Isolated from her friends and taken prisoner in the middle of a war, Twilight must deal with the very real dangers of being percieved as an enemy as well as the nightmares of her arrival on 'Earth'. Can she overcome her own fears and the fears of her captors? Will the wayward unicorn's assistance be a boon or a curse to the 'humans?' Most importantly, will she ever find her way home?

"In short, it's a story of friendship and plasma rifles, with the emphasis on the friendship. The characters are well written, the XCOM setting is fleshed out very well, and the story is compelling. If you love XCOM, you'll love the story, but even if you've never heard of it, it's more than worth giving the first 3 chapters a read.

There's excellent action later on, but the real strength lies in the collision between the friendly and naive world of Twilight Sparkle and the desperate world of humans fighting a losing war for survival and willing to do anything to turn the tide."

There have been a LOT of high-quality readings of Silent Ponyville, but this one is my personal favorite:

The Lone Wanderer has been known as the man who shouldered the nightmares of every man, woman and child in the wasteland, so that they may live. But when the Wanderer was once again abducted by aliens, he found himself falling, quite literally, into a whole new wonderous world, untouched by the horrors of nuclear devastation.

He has been facing other people's nightmares constantly for almost a decade, it was high time he was allowed to wake up.

Meanwhile, the ponies of Equestria are baffled by a strange object that fell from the sky.

Fallout/FIM crossover. HiE. T for violence and some language.

Now with a TVTropes page!

Tommy Wiseau's The Room, with ponies!

Nopony has been acting quite right since King Sombra retook the Crystal Empire. Homeless and disgraced, Shining Armour has taken up residence with Cadance in Applejack's barn, where he makes ends meet by working at the Ponyville bank.

In a world so topsy-turvy, can you really trust anypony?

Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.

Applejack was a simple pony, content with a hard day's work and good friends. However, fate decides she's in for a little more than that when an alien crashes into the farm and gives her a strange ring. Now, Applejack is thrust into a war she never expected, part of the intergalactic police force, the Green Lanterns. The enemy? A merciless group of warriors called the Yellow Lanterns, whose brutality is unmatched by any in the universe. Faced with a savagery that she has never encountered before, Applejack must step up and become the iron willed warrior the Green Lanterns, and the universe, need her to be.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power: Green Lantern's light!"

(Set five to seven years before 'The Magic of Friendship', depending on how old you think the cast is.)
Warning: contains an underaged Rarity and a rubber costume.

Little Waiwai is a colt in need of a foalsitter. Why should Rarity have to foalsit him? Because her mother said so, and like any teenage girl she can't really refuse a direct order from her mom. He won't be any trouble, or at least that's what the grownups keep saying.

And yet Waiwai has somehow managed to drive away every single foalsitter in town. This does not bode well for the aspiring fashion icon, nor does the fact that Sweetie Belle sort of knows him and definitely hates him.

Steeling her resolve, a young Rarity must face the horrors of foalsitting a no doubt unmanageable colt and hopefully keep her mane intact during the process.

Can her hair survive the horror that is little Waiwai?

A/N: Submitted to the third Author Support Prompt, and it won.

Yeah, I'm as confused as you are.

It's listed as 'Slice of Life' because it's a mix of comedy, light sadness (philosophical/psychological stuff, I guess) and...well, to say more would spoil it. Suffice to say it primarily tries to approach the show's look and feel, so the other tags don't really match up on the whole. Hope you enjoy!

Now edited for accuracy's sake, the mention of gems and crystals is mixed. In hindsight, this fanfic actually contains fanon that was made canon with the Season 3 opener. Oh well...

In the weeks following the coronation of Equestria's new princess, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are both troubled by regret. In the face of changes they can never reverse and actions they can never take back, they search for solace in solitude, but instead find each other in the small hours of the morning.

Twilight has always loved mysteries. Researching them, dissecting them, and finally, solving them. Almost nothing could compare to the joy she feels when finding an answer to a question no pony knew.

But there are mysteries with answers better left unheard, truths that aren't meant to be known. Now Twilight has solved a mystery with an answer she doesn't want, an answer she can never forget.

A gnoll appears in the Canterlot library and is forced to cope with an endless amount of problems as it gets to know the ponies a bit better.

This is a story with each chapter written on a touch and go basis in an hour. If there are errors in them please excuse me I constantly reread them and when I find something I correct it. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Finally got around to do a rough sketch for cover, maybe I'll finish it when I find the time.

Big thanks to Silver Page for editing.
