Jacob Klein, a science teacher from Connecticut, never expected to witness the arrival of extraterrestrial intelligence in his lifetime, let alone see it trying to eat his wife's flowers. Nor did he expect the being in question to be something out of his twin daughters' cartoons, preaching about friendship and eager to learn about human science.

After choosing to go to the government, Jacob went from being an Average Joe to an international celebrity. Within days, his picture appeared in papers around the world, he met numerous politicians, and numerous news stations have asked him for interviews.

As a teacher, Klein enjoys the company of a creature who loves science.

He doesn't enjoy his newfound fame, however. He is a somewhat cynical man who dreads becoming a pawn to the powers that be, and fears the changes both to his own world and his life.

However, when his new pony friend discovers a dark chapter in human history, Klein must become humanity's defender, arguing that humanity and ponykind aren't doomed to kill each other.

A difficult task, especially since his own family's history is marred by that dark chapter.

This fic is a slight AU. The Equestria Girls world doesn't exist.

Rated teen for slight language and discussions of World War II.

A strange book written in a script not linked to any known language is given to Moon Dancer by a mysterious stallion with dark spectacles and a charming smile. Wary of what lay within yet curious nonetheless, Moon Dancer enlists the aid of her old friend Twilight Sparkle in deciphering the script and unlocking the truth behind the book's origins.

What follows is a detailed account of the endeavor and its tragic and terrifying conclusion, penned by the broken mare who survived to tell the tale.

You are Sunset Shimmer, former apprentice of the Unconquered Sun. Prodigy. Exile. Betrayer and betrayed.

You have been taken.

In her despair, she calls out to the darkness of the night sky. And in the depths of that darkness, something has heard her cry. Something that can grant her wish… a wish to be free of her pain…

MLP x Warhammer 40k Crossover

This story is a sequel to Wildfire 4: The Heart of the Flame

The changeling invasion affected many lives in Canterlot.

The brutality of the assault killed many. The lucky ones died quickly. The unlucky ones died in the most gruesome of ways imaginable as incubators for the hatchlings.

This is a story of one of the defenders and how it directly affected her life. Drafted into service and teamed up with a cold-hearted killer, surrounded by killer changelings, FC 359 came to know death.

Even the living will carry the scars of war.

Thanks to Zervon Tora for his help with the story ideas and the editing.

Sunset was devastated. It hurts, knowing what she's lost. Forced away from the only friends she's known, she feels like Anon-A-Miss has won. Somehow, she makes it home, and finds herself doing something she rarely does: watching television. Early in the morning hours, she's awoken by the sounds of a children's show with a man who wears a red cardigan.

Somehow, this soft spoken man reaches inside her and gives her peace with just eight words: "I Like You Just the Way You Are"

A tribute to a great man, and my own way of memorializing his life in one of my favorite shows. Like he said once, I may not be good at this, but I still enjoy it.

Featured story! Thanks so much for this! You're all wonderful people, and it's you that I like.

There comes a point where any species intelligent enough to create advanced computers must ask a question.

Can a machine be alive? Can an algorithm feel, or think? Where is the line between simple processes running with a fixed purpose, and a concious mind, making decisions and forming opinions?

Has Equestria's time to decide come?
