Today is Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 500th birthday, and her most faithful student, an earth pony with a familiar name, can’t wait to celebrate!

After Princess Celestia appoints Twilight Sparkle and her friends to be ambassadors to Earth, they decide to introduce themselves to the humans by appearing in a horse show, but they need someone to get them ready. They call on Megan, the legendary warrior who guarded ponykind in days of yore. Megan has banished or slain countless demons, but can she convince the ponies to hold still long enough for her to braid their manes?

This crosses over with G1, but should be accessible to all.

If you could choose, would you rather live forever and stay ignorant, or would you like to see eternity even if it means your death?

An innocent question causes Angelo Gordon to doubt, what should have been the culmination of his lifework. A fit of Thanatophobia later, and he finds himself in a strange world that seems to defy everything he ever learned, and suddenly existentialistic terror is the least of his worries, as he struggles for bare survival.

A man, well-traveled, finally goes to see his heroes.

What he finds when he gets there will surprise him

Written WAYYYY past my bedtime, which is the best time for fic's like this.

The year is 2557 AD. Four years, seven months and ten days have passed since the activation of Installation 04B and the annihilation of the Flood. While humanity and the Covenant have struck a truce for the time being, and started to rebuild their civilizations, Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan John-117 has been in cryo-sleep, adrift, while his ancillary AI, Cortana, has been trapped in her own thoughts. She had been looking for a reason -- any reason -- to wake the SPARTAN up. Now she had one.

They were crashing.

Waking up in Equestria is a common plot for Brony fanfiction, but what if you woke up with practically nothing but what you knew and a set of pyjamas? Oh, and while the time skips around in the show, you have to live every day that you don't see?

Better hope somepony has a job for a human. Or it's going to be a long stay.

Trees shorter than they should be, buildings smaller than preferred, a world filled with creatures bigger than him, yet others are near microscopic from his perspective.

Trying to find out where he should fit in is hard, because he is not too small, but most definitely bigger than most. Once he connects to the dominant civilization, a whole new world of opportunities is revealed before him.

He will walk as a giant. He will walk with giants. He will walk alone.

'To whoever gets this message, we're in desperate need of help.'

'Equestria...Equestria is on the brink of being destroyed. Sombra, Tirek and many other villains are taking over our world. The Ambassadors of Harmony are nowhere to be found and Celestia and Luna...Faust, Celestia and Luna. I don't know who you are and I don't care, just as long as you can save us. And if you can't do that, then at the very least...'

'Avenge us.'

SGT Jennings dropped into New Mombasa to take over a Covenant cruiser. When a lucky Anti-Aircraft shot takes away his ability to control his pod, he careens end-over-end into a slipspace portal, and emerges in Equestria.

Be warned, there is more cursing in the beginning then there will be later, due to an all-military environment in the beginning.

What happens when a pony appears in your path. What do you do? What do you think? How do you even handle such a situation? Even if you could keep her safe, would she trust her life to you? One college student is given the opportunity to learn these answers for himself, but maybe he's the one who needs to be saved.

Another experimental story. This one is in the spirit of "My Little Dashie". This will not reach the same emotional levels as Dashie, but I don't intend it to. If you haven't read it before, I suggest you do so.
I don't know where I'm going to go with this, so I don't know how many chapters it will be. I'll just keep it going until I feel it's time to stop. I hope this doesn't dissapoint anyone.
