In a world without bacon, five humans find themselves trapped... grazing on mother bucking dandelions. To get home, they'll need to learn that friendship is magic. Too bad none of these jerks are friends.

Ever wonder what characters are doing when they’re not in the spotlight?

They’re certainly glad you never knew.

Unfortunately for them, stories of their lives have come to light.

A slightly more realistic take on the "Human in Equestria" story concept.

... For a given value of "realistic."

Okay, it's barely realistic but it is a hell of a lot of fun...

This story is a sequel to Why Ancient Rituals Don't Always Work

It's been almost eleven months since the event at the Ancient Mareyan Sun Temple. Ahuizota and Derring Do are settling into the life of a family, ready to raise their kid. There's still much for the young couple to learn, and it can only be taught with time.

They just cross fingers and feathers and hope they don't screw it up.

A/N:
Title name by The Shade

During a scouting mission, Bright Justice, Smoke Bomb, and SgtMaj Dusky come across an injured changeling who they bring before Celestia. Since Changelings are outlawed in Equestria, the changeling is instantly thrown into the dungeon under the watch of Bright Justice and his companion, Cloudy Steel. Knowing that the poor changeling is innocent, Bright and Cloudy won't stand for an innocent creature behind bars.

This story is a sequel to The Tree of Life

It has been ten years after Nightmare Moon's banishment. And every year the ponies celebrate Princess Celestia's victory against Nightmare Moon with the Summer Sun Celebration. Celestia on the other hoof, hates the festival but participates in it to keep her subject's minds off of the deaths of the ponies dying in their nightmares.

Meanwhile, the pitch-black creature arrives to Equestria and sets its eyes on finishing off the pony race by attacking the Equestrian capital, Canterlot.

With her sister banished to the moon, Celestia believes she will have to face the threat alone. But an unexpected ally will come to her aid to protect the pony kingdom.

The OC tag is there for the OCs that will play small roles in the story.

This story is a sequel to Midnight's Radiance

'By Shadow's Flare, dreams swallowed in Nightmare.'

Eternal night, unwaking slumber.
When everypony in Equestria is trapped within their own nightmares, it's up to one pony to save them.
Okay, one pony, and a changeling queen ... and maybe a former enemy. And also a baby dragon, as well as a shy filly?
No, wait-
There's only one pony to save them! A pony who will dive into her friends worst nightmares without even batting an eye! A pony that'll uncover ancient secrets in order to end this eternal night!
Who is this pony, you may ask? Why, none other then The Great and Powerful Trixie~!
Rest assured, Equestria is in good hooves.

Thanks to Cloureed for the cover, as always~!
Set in the Trio-verse, an AU where Celestia was banished, and Luna took up Sunset, Trixie and Twilight as her students. Recommend reading Luna's Protégé and Midnight's Radiance first.

Follow a young pegasus as she tells of the events that have perspired to make her the mare she is today, learn about how she met her friends and how she came to be a great leader within the Covenant Empire.

This is the first story I've ever done so it isn't perfect; though I would like some feedback.

Update: This story is being completely rewritten currently and will hopefully be finished eventually.

Twilight Sparkle is a normal pony.

As normal as a pony can get as Princess Celestia's personal protogé, The Element of Magic and being the Savior of Equestria twice over that is.

She lives in Ponyville and is the librarian of Golden Oaks Library, she is the best of friends with five of the greatest mares in Equestria.

She is not some extremely powerful unicorn who has to closely monitor how much magic she has so as not to destroy anything by accident, she is not somepony who has infinite arcane knowledge at her disposal.

And she most certainly does not have Runes covering her entire body from horn to hoof.
