For those looking for an update, I'll be starting Act II some time this year. Sorry, but college is kicking me pretty hard and I have to focus. Until then, cheers everyone.

Scattered around Ponyville, multiple ponies begin to wake up as humans. Mixed in with them are four actual humans that have no idea where they are. As everyone finds out, they have no memory of what has happened, why they are human, or even what is going on around them.

Ponyville, save for the survivors-turned-human, is entirely abandoned and, what's more concerning, it is sealed within a massive magical barrier. With no memory to go on, everyone trapped inside must band together to find out what has happened.

The amazing cover art is done by Mix-Up! Here's their YouTube (speedpainting!) & DeviantArt too!

Edited is done by a friend of mine who wants to be known simply as 'The Editor.'

This story is a standalone sequel of A Brony Life; a story I originally wrote years ago. However, this is a standalone story and it's not required to read/know the original story. Any references, characters, or plot lines that come up from that story will be newly introduced in this story.

Thank you to everyone who messaged me during the time between this and the original story. A lot of your personal messages meant so much to me.

Twilight Sparkle has been abandoned.

After an expedition into the badlands is torn to tatters by an unprecedented monster attack, Twilight finds herself stranded in a hostile environment with no safe way back home. With no supplies and no survival training, It all seems hopeless for the scholarly unicorn until she is discovered by a type of creature she has never seen before. A changeling named Thorax, a native of the badlands.

With Thorax's knowledge of the environment, he is Twilight's best chance of getting home safely. And by that same token, perhaps Twilight is the best chance the timid, pacifistic drone has of discovering something he has lived his entire life without.

Set well before the Season 2 Finale.

Cover art was drawn by me.

This is a spiritual successor to The Bug in The Herd, and The Bug in The Basement.

Edited by Mister Hypothetical.

3 AM is a tough time to be awake. Thankfully for Spike and Rarity, though, they don't have to be alone as well. They write each other letters. Rambles from them both. Whatever it takes to get through the night.

Then the letters stopped.

Dedicated to the greatest soul-sister a brother could ask for, RarityEQM.

This story was more for me than it was for you and I'm sorry for it. Give me some time and, when I'm better, I'll write a story that better reflects you. I miss you, soul-sister. And I love you. Could use your guidance on what I should do about you.

One of these damn days, I'll stop being so selfish, and find a better way to pay tribute.

This story is a sequel to Over There

Swift Wing has moved on from Ponyville, leaving in an attempt to find a reason to exist. He has settled down in the city of Cloudsdale, and now searches for a Cutie Mark, friends, and a place in Equestria.

Pip goes to visit the CMC on the weekend to test out their device... WHICH SHRINKS HIM! Can he survive the three giant girls? That. And be found by them?

Stop me if you heard this one: I have been sent to Ponyville on a personal quest. Now I'm stuck in a town with a cowgirl with a manly-sounding name, A crazy cat lady with variety, a damsel who wants to make me look fabulous, an egomaniac (who could be gay... it's the hair), and a mare so hyped up I swear she was on something.

No, I'm not Twilight Sparkle, but it is HER friends. I don't have any. That's why I'm stuck here. My name is Woundsalt.

Uber thanks to Carnival for this magnificent creation of a cover.

And do you really need a warning that there are spoilers in the comments? I expected more from you.

FANGROUP!
PATREON!
FEATURED SINCE 30/08/14 AND PRETTY MUCH DOING IT SINCE!

Their camping trip to the Everfree had been through some ups and downs, but Twilight and her friends nevertheless return home having enjoyed it. However, as they enter the Friendship Palace, they're shocked to discover an intruder within. A mare with a very familiar face, who has come to them after having escaped a gruesome fate. But, if that were not surprising enough, then they're truly taken aback when this newcomer explains why she's here.

(Pre-season 9)

If a better world was in reach for you, if you could reach someplace that was better if it meant leaving behind everything you've ever known, would you take that chance?

A new pony arrives in Ponyville, someone kind of odd, but nice enough. At the same time, Twilight's discovered a disturbance in the fabric of reality. But these two events couldn't possibly be connected...right?

HOLY SMOKES, I GOT FEATURED! (4/30/20) Thanks, everybody!
(And again on 5/4/20!)
(Again on 5/14/20)

Shane is an ordinary working brony that finds a splash of life in a show he loves. One evening, though, the episodes go on for longer, capturing more so life than plot, with the happenings on screen... effecting his room.

That. And mares are giants!

Y'know, I was once an average guy. A completely normal male human being. Sure I had my oddities but who doesn't, right? Then I woke up in Equestria after one too many shots of whiskey at 3AM whilst watching some random ass anime.

Now that in itself sounds fucking weird but that's not even the full story. Somehow good old reliable purple smart managed to not only change my species and my gender but also my age. Now I'm stuck with a lavender coated princess who has become my 'caretaker' and I'm being forced to go to school!

I still can't believe this isn't some crazy drug trip. Well, whatever - if this is a drug trip then I'm gonna make sure this will be the best drug trip of my life. So take a look into my new personal life and prepare to see the horrors that I'll bring to this hippy horse land.
