Dark machinations are at work, and for Rarity, life has taken a turn for the worst. She's now in a place called Ancelstierre on another world, where nopony has ever seen or scarcely even heard of a unicorn before. What dangers lay in wait in this new land of strange magic and mystery? What happened to Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie? More importantly, how does she get back home?

Welcome to the Old Kingdom, my little ponies. Magic works quite differently here...

You, Anonymous, have been in Equestria for six months. Your attempts to get home have left your hopes of returning home dulling, but you'd been growing attached to this bizarre place. Talking ponies, unicorns, magic; it was all growing on you.

Most of the attempts to get home stemmed from a certain Twilight Sparkle, who would test out one of many spells she thought would send you home. This time though, something had happened.

Something terrible.

This is a 2nd person point of view Anonymous in Equestria story. If you don't like those kinds of stories, it's probably a good idea to move on. This story also contains unwilling gender transformation, not as a fetish. There will be no sex in this story, but plenty of innocent Pinkie discovering... things. Yeah. It's got Pinkie, what'd you expect?

How much of our identity is defined by nature, and how much by nurture?
After the disastrous resolution of the second changeling invasion leaves deep wounds on both sides, Chrysalis attempts to send the swarm between worlds in a desperate bid to escape the wrath of an angered demigod. A slight miscalculation in the complex spell throws off the transition, trapping most of the swarm between and chaotically altering those that made it through. In the Nevada desert, a human comes across a mysterious egg and becomes involved in the arduous task of raising the infant 'alien' while keeping its existence a secret. As the two slowly bond, what role will they play in the swarm's destiny?

After trying to save her friend Sam from becoming the next Sun Queen, Lara Croft finds herself in an unfamiliar world. Although thrilled to have discovered something so unbelievable, she has no idea how to get back home. With the aid of the true master of the sun, Celestia, she begins a long journey to find the means to get her back to earth. Unfortunately, Himiko, the Sun Queen who Lara thought was now truly dead, had tailed the survivor to the peaceful world.

And she didn't come alone.

Obviously based off of the 2013 Tomb Raider.

In a universe where humans are quite shocked to find ponies that speak languages at all, let alone English, the startling discoveries never seem to stop for the poor crew of the SMS Verreiter IV, an old-warship-turned-exploration-vessel hybrid that's certainly seen better days. Heck, some even speak of times that it had days where all the systems functioned properly for hours at a time.

Either way, they're on a mission of exploration, which means they'll be visiting every Old Earth-sized rock they can find. With a motley consignment composed of few jittery scientists, veteran marines, an exasperated captain, and a combat-hardened, battle-forged crew with absolutely nothing to do besides repair their own ship from itself, it seems like it'll be a very long year of exploration.

Then they find a planet with some rather startling similarities to human society.

Like Manehattan, the apparent parody of the American district, ponies having developed the English language, and the use of human-like tools and buildings.

And when the ship's transmitter fails at the worst possible moment, Forschungsschiff Kapitan Arnhem Zorner has to decide how best to introduce his country and humanity to these beings. Who can levitate books probably as easily as they could levitate knives and hurl them at him.

He doesn't know whether to laugh of cry at the situation that's been thrown at his face.

- The Jedi Code

A human Jedi Master named Lucas Darkmatter becomes stranded on a planet full of talking ponies. The ponies are eager to make friends and form bonds with this new creature, but he refuses them at every turn.

"Attachments are forbidden."

Can Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and an eager Lyra convince the Master that attachments aren't as bad they seem?

In the snowy mountains of Tundra a small group of hunters struggle to keep their village going while surviving snow storms and monster attacks. Oats, Issac, Tich, Walker and Catherine receive word of a new cave appearing in the mountains and are sent out to explore. Little did they know they got more than they barged for.

When Deadpool ends up in Ponnyville due to a teleporter malfunction, he must figure out a way to fix it before the changelings can use it to go to earth, and he'll need all the help he can get, but until then Deadpool explores the new world, freaking out ponies, and having plenty of fun.

Bonbon has been trying to get to know Lyra for years, but the unicorn refuses to show her true self or accept Bonbon's advances. When Bonbon discovers that Lyra is leaving town without even saying goodbye, Bonbon decides to follow, no matter how far they must go or how hard Lyra protests. Rainbow Dash tags along as a guide, paid by Lyra for her services, but the tight-lipped Wonderbolt appears to have her own motivations as well.

It's all secrets and lies, but Bonbon is determined to get to the truth, even if it takes her to the end of the world. And it just might.

- Interview about this story

Note: Not a Nightmare before Christmas crossover, the character is simply based off of Jack Skellington. ALSO, THIS IN AN ANTHRO FIC SO STOP ASKING ME WHY THEY HAVE HANDS AND HOOVES. iF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT AN ANTHRO IS, LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE IMAGES.

A tomb stone, the first thing I see.
The carvings are corroded away, unlike me.
I can't remember who I am.
I don't even know what I am.
All I know is that apart from me,
There are little coloured ponies in a group of three.
One of which, if I had one catches my eye.
Two of them leave and she's left to cry.
What can a guy do, but to go up and say:
Hello, young one, would you like to play?
