After getting shoved into a biohazard-filled locker and triggering as a parahuman, Taylor Hebert spent four years in Equestria before she could find her way back. Now that she's in her home universe, she has to deal with being a superhero who is substantially less screwed up than all the other ones are.

This is a crossover with Worm. If you haven't read that, you should, and not just because this will make much less sense without it, but also because it's a good story, albeit pretty dark.

A young man lost in the hilly embrace of a mountain sleeps the night away under a knot of tree roots. When he wakes he will find himself thrust into a strange new environment, the Everfree Forest. With only his pack and his experience as a Boy Scout to aid him, he must survive, make sense of his surroundings and with some luck, ultimately find his way home. What does one do after wandering beyond the edge of the map? And better yet...

What if you are not alone?

I have been reading fan fiction here for a while and wanted to give something back.
My first fiction ever so constructive criticism is welcome. Fair warning, it takes a while for me to write a chapter so expect gaps between updates.

[Hiatus notice: As of 10/1/2022 this fiction is on hiatus so I may focus on other projects and items, will resume at a later date.]

Rated teen for strong language

Awesome cover art by Carnelian. Seriously, the guy has major skills with how fast he drew this up.

and of course ALL CHARACTERS / REFERENCES BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. “MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC” IS OWNED BY HASBRO

NO PROFIT WAS MADE IN THE CREATION / DISTRIBUTION PLEASE DONT SUE ME OR ANY PARTY THAT DISTRIBUTES THIS WORK (unless they try to sell it, then by all means go nuts)

After years of being the runt of the litter (despite having no siblings), Spike finally comes into his own and starts to grow up and mature. The result is a unique bit of magic all his own, or so the theory goes: He awakens one morning to find words hanging overhead that call him [The Gamer], along with powers that let him 'live life as though it were a game'.

How he decides to handle all of this, and where things go from there? That would be a spoiler, and you all know how we feel about spoilers around here...

Frequently asked questions will be answered from time to time, and those answers linked here for the curious:
The First FAQ

A cynical and distrustful man has a drunken conversation at a bar with someone and finds himself waking up in a land of talking ponies the next day. The catch? He's now a Ninetales. "Great...where's the bar?"

After thousands of years inside a pocket dimension, the Crystal Empire returned to the Frozen North. Mere moments after a purchase at comic con, a man was sent to a magical world of mythical creatures as Skeletor. After a short amount of time, the Displaced Skeletor stumbled his way towards the Empire. What happened next? Well, only time would tell.

(I don’t own squat except for the story.)
(Not part of the Displaced multiverse.)
(It is HIE Costume)
(We've got Fan art!)

AU in where Twilight is a dragon but still is Princess Celestia's student. Twilight has a more logical head on her shoulders and takes her job as a caretaker to Spike more seriously than canon.

motherly!Twilight, manipulative!Celestia

Idea sparked from Winter Quill's stories Growing Up With Scales and Sparkles and Scales

This story is a sequel to Long Live The Empress

On what appears to be an ordinary day, Amber takes Crystal to the outskirts of Ponyville, just the two of them. When Crystal asks why Amber has a surprising answer.

She wants to show her, as she calls it, her Dragon Form. A form all Exarchs and Cosmos can take. What follows will be one of the oddest days, Crystal, Emerald, Celestial, Orchid, and Water Lilly will ever have.

Though it says sequel, this is technically a mid-story arc from Long Live The Empress that I'm making separate from the main story.

Cover art will change with each new chapter to show whose form is the main focus of that chapter. Each new cover art is done by this cool cat.

base for my image done by Blazeing bases I get sent to equestria, only to find all but one of my bag Emblems and necklaces missing, and that the symbol from one of my necklaces has been burned into my arm. Join me to find out why I was brought here and if I will succeed. Also random Emblems will be added I will add tags as needed and update the rating if needed. First ten chapters Edited and greatly improved by Faera Mossgarden note in this universe there is no show. Comments are greatly appreciated I only own my ocs Blue Bolt, Peppermint Swirl, Star Sign and Peppermint Spear.
