Post civil-war, Equestrian scientists and engineers across the world exhibit incredible technological advancements, such as the ability for earth ponies and pegasi to use magic. However, Equestria's unsustainability and overpopulation crisis further threatens the prosperity of the civilization. To search for a solution to the world's dilemma, Celestia and Twilight devise a secretive exploration project known as "Starship Ponyville 327000". Its goal: to launch hundreds of soldiers and scientists into the farthest reaches of space to discover other habitable worlds. Amidst these things, a brave new hero is born, bringing an even more serious threat with her.

This story is a sequel to Tantabus, Mk. II

The new and improved Tantabus has behaved itself thus far, but Luna has delayed telling Celestia about it. Until one night when it jumps into Celestia's dreams to say hi and inadvertently reveals itself. Luna must now introduce Celestia to her little bundle of self-aware psychic dream energy sooner than she imagined.

Realizing that she still suffers from age-old phobias; Luna recruits Twilight and Pinkie Pie to help Celestia overcome one of her deepest fears.

You've been pushed past the breaking point. You're done. You can't go on like this anymore. Nobody cares. Nobody spares a glance. You're just a burden to everyone around you. That's all you are. Nothing. A mistake. An alien. An outcast. Invisible.

How could anyone love a colt as worthless as you?

But suddenly... there's a light... coming from the most unlikely source imaginable... and it's aimed at you...

Dedicated to Harmony Pie, a very special friend.

Written Impromptu

Grown from the dark seed of depression that never seems to wane.

"You" are Anon, and you can't understand a bloody thing these little horses are saying. It doesn't help that you're only ten. Oh well, at least they're nice. Especially the queen horse, Celestia. At least that's what you think her name is. Anyway, she's awfully cuddly, always hugging you or some such. Honestly it's nice and all, but you are starting to wonder just why she is so affectionate...

Was bumbling around /mlp/ and made a thing. You might enjoy it, you might not, it's here either way.

*EDIT* Now with sequel: Bridging Words.

Featured May 10 2016, thank you so much!

Twilight finds a hidden book in the Royal Canterlot Library, though she might not like what it tells her.

So it's finally happened. After being kicked in the shin by Celestia, Discord is officially dying. Now Celestia wants to know if he has any last requests before he goes.

What a silly, silly thing of her to ask.

Spike has some conflicted feelings about the new addition to the family coming soon.

Broken and beaten after the failed Canterlot invasion, Chrysalis desperately searches for a way to save her hive. The answer comes to her in the form of an ancient spell that allows travel to other worlds. Starving, feeling left with little choice in a world that despises and fears them, Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings pack their metaphorical saddlebags and ship off into the unknown.

The world they discover is unlike any other. Strange and powerful creatures inhabit the land; not only that, but they also find themselves imbued with new powers. Even better—love is abundant and easy to obtain: all they have to do is fight for their lives in arena-style tournaments, enter beauty pageants, musicals, and other demeaning activities.

As Chrysalis and her ’lings adapt to this new world, they must also be careful. This new paradise comes with its fair share of dangers: other monsters competing for affection, unkind masters, and even an organisation that would seek to enslave and experiment on them.

Finally, why does someone named ‘Arceus’ keep sending Chrysalis Legendary Pokémon Application forms?

I'd like to thank Pascoite for being my Pre-reader. You are a legend and a master of your craft. Thanks again bro.

Carrot and Derpy comes across an old book detailing of a door that appears in random locations all around Equestria every hundred years or so. Carrot isn't sure that the legend is real but Derpy's interest is peaked and in dragging her reluctant friend along, both set out to find it in promise of adventure and discovery. But some things are best left alone when they unwillingly awaken a thousand year old grudge that has its eyes set on all those who went against it. When the elements are rendered useless and the princesses are unable to protect their beloved subjects, the fate of Equestria and the rest of the world falls upon the hooves of the unlikeliest of mares.
