Tick...tock...tick...tock...
I keep a pocketwatch. Odd thing for a time-traveler to say. Fortunately, it was enchanted by a friend of mine to tell me the year, along with the relative time. I used to find it odd that if I spent a day in the year 600, a day would pass in the year 2300 and 1000 and...oh, you get the idea.
Of course, I found being here also something to freak out about, much less the ability to travel the time-stream with that Gate Key I ordered. Apparently the thing worked a little too well.
It did, after all, pull me here from home. And while I found the way to go back a while ago...
...I can't leave. Not yet.

...I've seen their future. And I'll be damned if I leave them to it.

Equis has fallen. Long ago, those few gifted with immortality left their dying world, searching for a new home.

That was ages ago. They have been adrift in space for an eternity, and they have found nothing to brighten their spirits. They are starting to lose hope that there is anything for them out here.

However, what they don't realize is that their journey has just barely begun...

-GM, master of Immortals.

Edit: Woah. It got on the front page. This has never happened before. Thank you all so much.

On a fateful night, Alex wins the divine lottery and is approached by Hermes, an Olympian god. He is promised one wish, whatever it may be.

Alas, the encounter doesn't quite work out like he hoped it would.

Alex finds himself thrown into a world that is wholly unfamiliar to him. Gone are his dreams of meeting the mane six. He doesn't even have the luxury of keeping his human form.

Having to deal with an unfamiliar surrounding and a new body, this story follows him on his way to find his own place in this alien world.

Character tags will be added as they become relevant. Teen rating is mostly for some bloody scenes. (nothing too gory). Also, the prologue plays far off in the
future of this story and we won't be returning to that point in quite some time.

Plowpony's Day- a day of peaceful rest and relaxation. Or it was, until Twilight Sparkle badly mangled a teleportation spell. It has left her with a bad case of Horn Rot, a disease that if untreated could prove fatal. What's more, the malady is advancing faster than the slow-brewing potion that cures it!

There is one swifter cure: the Beneviolet, a star-shaped flower that grows in the distant Archback Mountains, far beyond the western borders of Equestria. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity choose to undertake the long journey for the sake of their friend. Their path will wind through floes of ice, across gold-tinted plains, into distant forests glimmering with magic. They will learn much about the world beyond their homeland- and much about themselves, as well.

Yes, it's "Dangerous Business," here on FIMFiction. A huge debt is owed to all those who have supported me over the years. I've edited the story some to remove extraneous bolding and italics, but other than that, it remains unchanged. I hope new readers enjoy it as much as old ones did.

This story is a sequel to A Kirin In Cardboard

After having learned of the joys and amazing potential of Cardboard Boxes for herself, Autumn Blaze decides that she must share this discovery with her village.

It ends with a declaration of war.

Written for the Quills & Sofa's "Expanding Universes" Prequels and Sequels event. This story is my extension on the original story A Kirin in Cardboard by TheLegendaryBillCipher. While reading Bill's story is not necessary to understand this one, it will provide some measure of context and you should just read it regardless because it is quite good.

Thank you to, basically everyone on the Q&S server for feedback, proofreading, and editing.

When Applejack delivers a package to the Kirin Village, Autumn Blaze meets a cardboard box for the first time.

Idea from ROBCakeran53's first PANIC fiction prompt, "A ing Cardboard Box," from the Quills and Sofa Speedwriting Competition.

A thank you to ROBCakeran53 and Syke Jr for proofreading before publishing.

Now with a sequel by TheDriderPony.

Spanish translation by SPANIARD KIWI.

Now with a reading by me!

A generation ago the three tribes of ponies joined together in harmony after the discovery of the new land of Equestria. But even years later this land is still largely unknown. The leaders of the ponies decide that an expedition to travel and learn about their new home is needed.

Locations for settlements, appropriate farmlands, rivers, forests, all need to be discovered. Roads must be planned. Borders drawn. A map made. And Trail Blazer is the pony for the job.

She may be a drunk, a floozy, and lazy, but she’s the best at what she does.

Joined by the fastidious unicorn Lustrous and the martial-minded pegasus Steel Wing the three of them will embark on the greatest undertaking of their lives: To be the first ponies to travel the entirety of Equestria and draw a grand map of it to aid and unite all ponies of present and future.

Derpy and Dinky celebrate their first Hearth's Warming in Ponyville, and although Derpy had intended to spend it alone with her daughter, her friends had other ideas and invite the two of them for an earth pony Hearth's Warming dinner.

A Pony Planet story.

Set several years before A Mother's Comfort.

Twilight Velvet's son Shining Armor is about to leave for Royal Guard training. On this quiet night, she reflects on her choices as a mother, regrets she has had with her son, and her own inner demons. But her son will be the key to silencing those demons.

Title inspired by the song of the same name by Carrie Underwood.

This story is a sequel to Don't Forget To Remember Me

Shining Armor leads a wonderful life with his wife Cadence and daughter Flurry Heart. But he doesn't get back home to Canterlot much. So when his mother calls him home to visit, he's eager to go. Until he learns the reason why she called him. Everything he's known about his family is shattered in an instant. Luckily, his mother is there to comfort him.

Slight regression, but not too much. It's reasonable.
