One of the most violent and heartless inmates of Arkham Asylum gets thrown into the world of Equestria. Stuck in an innocent world he is forced to become its unwilling savior as more of Arkham's crazies arrive to cause mayhem. Along the way he meets a group of ponies that will try to show him the meaning of friendship and something about that yellow pony just won't leave his mind. And watch as something inside him slowly eats away at whatever humanity he has left.

Takes place before season 4 premiere

A freak lightning storm, strange lights, and an unassuming, yet mysterious stone obelisk. What do these things have to do with an average college student from North Tonawanda? At first, nothing. But when nineteen year-old Connor lets his curiosity get the better of him and lands in the center of a cosmic coincidence, he probably should have left well enough alone.

Now he finds himself stranded in an impossible world where magic is real, and "normal" takes on a whole new meaning. A world populated by sentient creatures calling themselves "ponies." A stranger in a strange land, Connor's yearning for answers and a way back to Earth will try both his patience and his sanity in the days following his arrival, even with the support of his new equine friends. But as he witnesses his life slowly spiral out of control, he will call into question his definition of home, humanity, destiny, and what it means to truly belong.

Rated Teen just in case for occasional swearing. This story takes place shortly after the end of Season 2, and the main character is from an Earth where MLP never existed (in order to preserve proper characterization). Or just assume he's never heard of it, that works too.

The title is not an Evangelion reference, I was just inspired by the wording scheme.

Mr Cake, Mrs Cake, the Cake twins Pound and Pumpkin, and Pinkie Pie were going up to Canterlot for the day off when they decided to stop at a restaurant called the Cattivo Odore Restaurant and Bakery owned by Turpe and his wife Poco Cotti. But while the place looks great in terms of decor, the customer service and the food are anything but good and the owners are nothing more than a bunch of stuck-up fools who think their food is perfect.

Previously titled "Trust is not a Trivial Matter"

This story follows Alex Mathius as his life takes a drastic turn when he ends up in Equestria.
The inhabitants of this strange new world have no idea what he is, and that brings complications!

Accepting his fate, he tries to cope and continue on with his life in a world that's not his own.

However, it soon comes to light that his knowledge and understandings are of great value, involuntarily sending him into a spiral of political schemes and at the centre of an ancient struggle for power.

Can Equestria and the other countries of this new world handle the presence of an ambitious human being? And more importantly; will Alex be able to handle all that's been laid out for him, or do his wounds run too deep?

This is his story, his journey.

Important!

Trigger Warning: [OC's!]

The story goes at a slow pace, so take your time and get some coffee.

Even though there's a big [ADVENTURE] tag on this story, the first bunch of chapters are more drama-like, don't let this discourage you; this is the first story arc.
Hmm, a drama tag wouldn't be out of place on this site.

The [ALTERNATE UNIVERSE] tag is there to prevent the argument of a certain character seeming OOC.

Plus: I've only watched the show until the end of season three, so guess in what time span this story takes place. I also did not watch Equestria Girls, if that's relevant.

Furthermore I wish to mention that this is my very first piece of (fan)fiction I've ever written, so constructive criticism is very welcome indeed.

This story is a sequel to Daughter of Discord

A series of one-shots detailing the adventures of five fillies on a quest to find what makes them special and earn their cutie marks.

Prism: the flightless pegasus overshadowed by her Wonderbolt parents and her talented older siblings, eager to prove herself to her family.

Gemstone: the spoiled yet slightly absent-minded unicorn hailing from Canterlot, seeking out friends who will accept her for who she is.

The Tri-Pies (Blueberry, Raspberry and Cherry): the energetic triplets, joined at the hip since birth (not literally), but cannot seem to handle themselves individually.
