Advances in science and magic had detected the Anomaly – a star in the heavens that was unlike all the others in the night sky. Intense research had only served to deepen the mystery. Although Equus had a vibrant space program, going forty-two light years to investigate had been considered impossible until now. The Cosmic Lotus program was born, and over a hundred crew-members of multiple species were sent into the void to discover the unknown. After a journey of years, what they would find would both amaze and terrify them.

The prequel to this story is the "Ad Astra" arc in the story – "Life, Love, and Death in the House of Path".

This will be a crossover story with my "Chakat Universe".

This story is a sequel to Change

There are many changeling hives spread throughout a large portion of the world. Wherever love energy is going to be found the changelings will pursue it.

But now, one by one, they are disappearing.

Many hives located at the very outer edges of changeling inhabited lands are vanishing without a trace, Twilight Sparkle's family history has returned to haunt them all as something is hunting the changelings down. But how? And for what purpose? And more importantly, what does this mean for Queen Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the changeling race?

(Featured on the first day, 6/11/2016. Awesome!)

The story of 'The Mare that eats the Monsters' is an old, but still very well known Equestrian campfire and bed time story, often told to scare little fillies and colts into behaving themselves. It tells of a mare who loves Equestria and the ponies who live in it despite how frighteningly different she is. She protects ponies across Equestria from nightmarish creatures and monsters that would seek to kill ponies wherever possible.
What most ponies don't realize, but what Twilight Sparkle is soon to learn, is that the mare of the story was and is very real.

And the stakes of her mission have never been higher.

(This story has the horror tag, yes, but it isn't the dominant theme here.)

This story is a sequel to Shadow Dancers

Some wounds take time to heal. Some wounds never heal completely. Some heal easier than others. And there are some wounds that just can't heal at all. Luckily for Twilight, she has all but forgotten the wounds that blighted her nightmares for so long. She has healed. However, while it is true that some things are best left alone or forgotten, the darkness that almost took her life was not one of those things. The memories will return, but by then it will be too late to stop the coming darkness. The hands of the black mist reach out, the shadows swirl and writhe, expanding away from the very light that casts them, reaching dangerously for their prey. The deadly dance of shadows began... But it never ended.

In the middle of the night, a dark presence sweeps across all of Equestria, claiming the minds of most of the population. By the following morning, only a select few retain their free will. Among the Ponyville survivors are Spike the dragon, and a scared, blind, little filly named Tulip Iris.

Long after the Event that transformed all of humanity into ponies, griffins, or other fanciful creatures, and sent most hurtling forward in time, many were still randomly popping out of the timestream. This was a real problem when it came to a whole airplane full of passengers arriving in mid air, and the pilots could no longer control their vessel. Who do you call in this situation? The Aeronautical Returnee Rescue Response Squad!

This is an episodic story which is a side-fic based in the "Ponies after People" universe from Starscribe's story - "The Last Pony on Earth".

Thoraxis, a changeling, finds himself stranded in Ponyville, with no way of knowing how to get back home to his brethren and queen. The Mane Six, knowing of his presence in the town, and dreading of what he might do, try to find him, forcing him to hide. Adopting a persona, Thoraxis tries his hardest to survive in this enigmatic land of ponies, without being found, and runs into several, rather large "obstacles," of varying natures, in the process. Will he make it?

Warning! Early story. Bad grammar inbound!

This story is a sequel to One Changeling, in a World of Foes

Warning! Early story. Bad grammar inbound!
Several seasons have gone by since Thoraxis decided to stay in Ponyville, and life there, surprisingly for the most part, has been pleasant for him. He has made a few friends, love is easy to acquire and devour, and everything seems to be, for the first time in his life, easy and without worry.

Skia, Thoraxis's adopted, changeling daughter, senses something that may be missing in her foster father's life. He states, as the history books do, that changelings can only feed off love, and cannot feel or experience it for themselves. Always the young one with an ambition to change history, Skia undertakes the task to prove the facts wrong, and, much to Thoraxis's ire, she successfully sets him up on a blind date in the Crystal Empire.

Only, heh, there's one, eensy-weensy, teeny-tiny, minuscule problem with the date he's sent to meet.

She's a wyvern.

Oh, and not long before setting the date up, Skia encounters a strange, injured creature, from another realm entirely, in the middle of the Everfree Forest, and another adventure is found with it.

But not all is well. Unbeknownst to anypony, Vile Faux, a changeling so evil, twisted, depraved, and despised that he was cast out of the changeling hive, is tasked by Queen Chrysalis herself to hunt down the two "traitors" that have willingly associated themselves with the ponies, and... "dispose of them" in the most heinous way his sick mind can imagine.

So I guess there's that.

(Crosses over with the Dark Souls series. Don't look at me like that, I was going through a phase!)

This story is a sequel to Two Changelings, in a World of Foes

Skia, Thoraxis's adopted daughter, is missing. To make matters worse, after her encounter with the wretched Vile Faux, Skia's memories have been taken from her, permanently, and to the point that she no longer even knows her own name, much less her father. To make matters irrevocably worse, a year has now passed, and she remains gone without a trace.

Thoraxis and his friends continue to search for her without pause, though their hopes dwindle less and less with every passing day. Thoraxis blatantly refuses to give up, and his unremitting effort begins to take its toll on his health, convincing his girlfriend, Petra, to try and get him to relax, for a short while at the very least.

Lo and behold, the Theatre Metamorphoses, a traveling theater well known for visiting random villages at unexpected times, pulls in to perform at Ponyville for the month, making it their first appearance in over twenty years. Their leader, the young but enchanting Madam Odyssia Metamorphoses, enthralls the crowd with her cast's singing and reciting of favored tales of yore. The theater's popularity even attracts many characters from out of town, all coming to witness the spectacle.

While they entertain the masses, among the festivities Thoraxis begins to suspect something. His senses, paranoid or not, start telling him that something is off with the show and its cast. Something familiar about their mysterious and enigmatic aura. Something too off and familiar and mysterious for him to be comfortable with...

Ponyville's resident changeling begins to investigate the playwrights and actors, sniffing for any clues as to who they could be, while one, particular member of the theater seems to take some form of interest in him.

Only then does the theater's motto really hit Thoraxis.

This story is a sequel to Metamorphoses

Serendipity is an intelligent and strong-willed, but peculiar and unique individual indeed. She's blind, sickly, suffers from the effects of albinism, and altogether possesses an almost fragile and ethereal quality due to her appearance and condition.

Because of this, and in part due to her hybrid status and antisocial nature, she has earned the worry, unease, and harassment of more than a few of Ponyville's residents throughout her life. Nevertheless, as a young, but full-grown adult, she is quite content with living alone in the middle of the Everfree Forest as an avid plant breeder, and part-time botanist.

As her seventeenth winter pulls in and Ponyville readies itself for another Hearth's Warming, a sudden blizzard of an epic, and almost magical proportion invades, forcing many of the town's inhabitants indoors. No sooner had the fierce storm arrived, but a complete stranger pulls in as well; his reason for appearing being under the pretense that he's "looking for somepony."

This drifter with an utterly alien personality, Striga Phobetor, ends up renting out the half-changeling's home for the week. As one of her only friends and non-related cousin, Charybdis, comes to visit for the holiday, the two become captivated with the mystery surrounding this enigmatic character, and who... or what... he may be...
