This story is a sequel to To Have and To Hold

It ain't always easy, regaining what you lost.

Especially when you've been missing it for years.

Written for Appledash Contest #6 - "Go Big or Go Home".
Inspired by the original art by Heir-of-Rick.
Edited by AstralMouse, SaddlesoapOpera and Snowybee.

On a dark and stormy evening, one young man is ripped from home to a place both familiar and yet different. Torn from everything he’s known, he’s faced with an encounter of the hoofed kind, that changes him arguably for the better. But destiny is a fickle thing. Having traded one existence for another, comparatively boring one, he’s left with little freedom but much guidance. It’s a gilded cage, one from which he can merely catch glimpses of the outside land, of magic and ponies. Fighting both cabin fever and a growing self-doubt, he must have faith, if not in himself, then in finding a way home. For if not for his sanity, then for his sake, he better have the fortitude to withstand the curve balls sent his way.

You, a young human living in Canterlot, have never fit in with anyone. It's been years since you were found in Equestria, and you've become a small outcast in this world of ponies. Hiding away from everyone, you find solace in another strange being, a weird black bug-like filly that calls herself Chrysalis.

A man wakes up only to find that, rather than lazing on his couch, hes in an ancient castle in a fictional world. And top it all off, in the body of one of the world's biggest villains.

While he plans how to spend this oddly realistic dream, using what little he knows of the show to tip things in his favor, he will soon find that not everything follows the script he knows.

Will be adding tags if need br, I like the cover art I have at the moment, may change it later.

I do hope you enjoy this little brain worm of a story!

It has been a terrible week, in Craig’s very educational opinion. Firstly, he woke up in a cave covered in dust, and he doesn’t really like dust. Secondly, he can’t remember when Equestrian became so advanced. So many cities! Thirdly, the lands are so different, he can barely tell his way around. Fourthly, critters from every forest he’s wandered keep jumping him. Fifthly, nearly everypony that sees him either faint, stare, or just run away screaming; it’s actually kind of amusing. It’s like they’ve never seen an Alicorn before, or is there something on his face? Let him just... Sixthly, everypony he’s been able to eavesdrop on seems like they speak Ponish but... don’t? Seventhly, why are Marks called ‘Cutie Marks’ now? When did this happen? When he gets back to his throne, he will fix this insulting problem. No pride is involved or anything...

Lastly, and the worst, his own daughters don’t even remember him! This is something he must repair. “How?” you ask? Why, snuggling of course!

Goodness! Thank you guys so much for the support! Love you all!

I had this neat idea that I am certain others had that I want to share! Basically, as you can already tell, Craig McCracken in Equestria, but a very confused version of him and with a story to tell. I really love this old man and the shows he has made, along with the cast for each show, but I guess I’m being biased, since most of his creations were most of my childhood. I feel I at least know or predict him enough to be comfortable with dialogue and personality traits in this Pony character I’ve imagined. Most of the time, he is confused but with purpose; I feel it's the cutest side of him. I can say with certainty that it will not be perfect, nothing is, and I will not hit the right notes most of the time, but I have you guys here! Feel free to add constructive criticism, I’ll appreciate every last bit! If you can’t, that’s alright, just reading my crazy stuff is more than enough. Thank you!

My ‘Old Ponish’ isn’t the best, but I hope you enjoy! Oh, and remember, just because the show has ended, doesn’t mean its “ended”. The fandom will live for a very long time.

When I agreed to be sent to Equestria I didn't read the fine print. I'm the wrong age, the wrong sex, and lost in the wilderness.

New Cover art commissioned from Lunar Froxy.

A middle aged brony inexplicably replaces Chrysalis as a new changeling queen some decades before the fruition of a certain pony prophesy. Now the new queen must figure out how to manage a kingdom that has been in a slow, seemingly irreversible, decline for the past several thousand years.

This story is a sequel to Rest

Three Hundred Years.

I've spent all that time teaching both humans and ponies to never forget the war. I've slowly become content with not just my life, but the fact that I am the last dragon. I've made and lost friends, students, and gained a great deal of respect from both ponykind and humanity. I've seen things change for the better, yet there is one thing I am forced to confront one thing that I fear most.

Falling in love.

Can I, a long lived being who has already outlive those I care about, accept a future with a lover? Or am I too afraid to face such a devastating loss once more?

This story is a sequel to Future

My name is Private Halberd Wings of 139th Arial Spear Regiment's 2nd Platoon.

My home, Equestria, came to Earth fourteen years ago in order to help a species called humanity who was on the brink of destroying themselves with their hatred, technology, and greedy ways. The Princesses, in their great wisdom, offered a chance to save them from themselves by making them ponies like us. However, they rejected us, and now we're at war.

I have joined the cause to defend Equestria and see these humans are given a proper future guided by friendship and harmony. It doesn't matter what comes our way for Equestria has never lost a war and we will not lose one now. With the fires of friendship, and the guidance of our Princesses, we will be victorious!
