A human stays among ponies, mystifying them with his odd traditions and customs. It will be five years before Celestia and Twilight can send him back to his homeworld. Until then, Twilight wants to study him and have him experience pony culture. These are their stories.

[ 2nd person ] [ HiE ]
It's not easy being a human in Ponyville, but there's one pink pony who makes it all worthwhile.

A story of prejudice, suspicion, and gossip,
and a simple love that grows in spite of it all.

A student is accidentally transported to Equestria through a crystal mirror. Lost and confused in an unfamiliar world, he struggles to get home. Circumstances conspire to make things difficult. The ponies he meets do the opposite.

Story starts between Season 6 and Season 7. After Equestria Girls: Friendship Games but before Legend of Everfree and the EqG specials.

Special talents.
That thing that sets ponies apart from each other and gives them a path in life. The one thing that they excel at, broadcast to the world by their cutie mark.
The spectrum of special talents is as wide as the day is long and twice as varied as you think it is.
But, interesting talent or mundane, everypony needs a job to put food on the table and not every talent lends itself to one.

After all, not everyone can be blessed with specific high-demand talents like "growing plants" or "cleaning" or "flying". Even less often does a pony get a particularly nebulous concept or multi-faceted skill like "magic" or "partying" that can apply to any number of jobs.

Sometimes, no matter how good you are at what you do, it's just not something you can make a career out of.

But for those unlucky few, there's a group filled with other ponies who face the same problem that they do.

#1 FEATURED 9/23/18 - 9/25/18 Thank you, everyone!

So suddenly, my life was ripped away from me. My friend and family are gone. Everything I once knew vanished before me.

Magic? Ponies? I don't understand it at all. All I know is I'm not me anymore, and my memory is fading. Then, just as I was starting to get comfortable in this new world, I find my former face staring back at me one day, and with it my life changes once more.

So much for living peacefully.

Eric, easygoing local human, is winding down for the night when he receives an unexpected visitor.

He is a good host to them.

Inspired by the heart-warming YouTube videos Sharing Vision, created by the highly talented Storm Runner and Snowdrop, the video made by SFS Animation that started it all.

Long before the Mare in the Moon, before Twilight Sparkle and her group of friends, there was a pony who has been forgotten in the pages of history, washed away in the sands of time. Her name was Snowdrop, but her story is far more than anypony could have ever imagined.

You see, Snowdrop was just a filly when she created the first snowflake, but it is the rest of her story that will amazing even the most well-versed of scholars, because through the years leading up to Luna's banishment, she was not the only one who struggled to find her place in the magical land she called home. There was another being, one whom she would come to know as a friend, and more, as they forged a home for each other.

His name was Thomas, better known as "Tommy" to those that knew him well, and it is his story that we tell today, long forgotten in the faded pages of history. Only now, after more than a thousand years, can we hear the tale of Equestria's first human.

After the disastrous Battle of the Bands, the defeated Sirens parted ways, leaving Adagio Dazzle to fend for herself. Alone, human, and without magic, she struggled to make ends meet until accosted one day by a mysterious prince, who offered her a second chance at life. Naturally, it was an offer she couldn't refuse.

That night, she was dug out of her own grave and began unlife anew as a vampire of the aristocratic Clan Ventrue. However, the other denizens of the night won't take well to the newest addition to their ranks. They do have long memories, after all. Can the former Siren survive the Final Nights? Can she overcome her endless hunger and beast? Can she recover her lost glory, and find redemption even in death?

This story is a sequel to Act in haste

Thinking over what happened the last time she asked Anon for a favour - and thinking about it over and over again at some length - Twilight has grappled with some new and unexpected feelings. In an effort to better explore these she concocts a cunning plan, and wraps in the guise of another favour.
