A changeling in exile, wandering without purpose, encounters a small Equestrian town with expectations of meeting his end. He is not prepared for what he finds.

Made for the Outside Insight Summer Fanfic Contest, which I almost didn't realize was happening. As a result this may be a bit shorter and a bit more rushed than I'd like, though I still enjoyed making it.

Not too far into the future, Twilight Sparkle visits Queen Chrysalis, in response to a letter stating her intention to ask forgiveness for her crimes against Equestria.

This story is a sequel to Adapt and Overcome

The bureaus are ash, scattered to the winds. The Tyrant has fallen, and those who she enslaved, free. Those who followed willingly face justice, be it that of their fellow sapients, or that of the grave. But for one man, the trials are not over yet. He will find a wonderful, terrifying world, full of creatures that once sought the end of his kind. But something is not right. There is something about this place, something wrong. He'll survive though. Because a man without hope is nothing but a shell waiting to die.

First attempt at an extended adventure. Hope it appeals to you. A warning though.
1: It's HiE
2: There won't be much in the way of super-humans wandering the world. Those may come later, depending on which direction the story goes. The MC will mostly be exploring undercover. That being said, he still has his augments.

Lark Wolfe is 25 years old and he has a terrible fate. Bitten by a werewolf, he now spends his life traveling from town to town as a bard, trying to find a way to cure himself. Something happens, he finds himself in Equestria, and then more things happen. There is going be to a lot of music in this, as he IS a traveling violinist. I'll put hotlinks in the story to whatever he's playing. Also, Lark speaks with a very slight British accent. it's most entertaining to read if you think that way.

Shattered Skies has lived quite some time. He had done well for himself over the past few thousand years; staying out of the public eye and remaining generally uninvolved from pony society while he tended his forests.

Who wouldn't want that, right?

His job came with excellent security and fringe benefits, but after he was betrayed by a princess he trusted, all he wants to do is to live a normal life even if the world tells him otherwise.

Oc disclaimer: The original characters that appear in the story that are not my own have been obtained from the original owners via written permission.

After an existential journey goes wrong, a man finds himself in Equestria. With no way to return home he has no choice but to find a path in a new body. Will he discover a place to belong once again in this new land, or be forced to carve one out?

Currently rewriting first eight chapters and editing the rest of the story. Plot will be fundamentally the same, just the quality will significantly increase. There will be some story and character changes.

As of right now the story ramps in quality with some bumps due to edits.

When one life was ended
Another will begin
With a body now mended
The shadows dwell within

Before he was weak and unable to act
In this new world he can change that fact
But these dark powers are not easy to control
In order to do so he needs a pure heart and soul

They see kindness as tricks
And his honesty as lies
A hatred they affix
His form they despise

Only one can understand
And assist with his plight
With experience firsthand
She will aid this creature of the night

Everyone had their own way into Equis. Me? I got drugged. No biggie. Turns out that Equestria is racist. And that's bad. So when three relatively unknown Princes of Equestria drag me into the Game to help people change, I figured I might as well do just that. Just one problem. I'm a Parasprite. Yeah.

So now I must force my way in this harsh reality of slavery and injustice. For the people. For Equestria. For the swarm...
Authors note: This story is set in the 'Chess Game of the Gods' universe, started by Rust in 'The Ballad of Echo the Diamond Dog' and expanded by Blackwing in 'Griffin the Griffin'. The universe has since been expanded by a growing number of authors, each with their own piece of the action. If you haven't checked those out, I advise that you do! Approved by BlackWing.

A week away from finals, Jeremy falls asleep at the wheel and has what should have been a fatal accident. He discovers that he is one of a very small percentage of sentients in the universe. He is an immortal. He cannot die. As he struggles to accept his new place in the universe, he must figure out how he's going to begin his immortality... And where he'll go to spend it.

Note: This is a HiE story which spends much more time on characterization of the human. This will not be a 'brony in Equestria' story; it's a chance to explore fictional worlds through a very unique viewpoint.

I woke up to a burning building coming down on top of me.

Oh yeah, that isn't even the half of it. There's these freaky Technicolor horses everywhere too and a few of them were dressed in golden armour.

They bound me, dragged me to the castle and hooked me up to some chains. Currently I'm being interrogated by a white unicorn... guard. Whatever it's called.

Well, it's not like it could get much worse, right?

Found some cover art.

Sorry to whomever made this, but the source website was taken down or something, so I'm really not sure who to credit.

Finally found the name of the artist: Blaz Portenta

I got featured a couple times. Yeah, I'm surprised too.
