Nick was your average human being. He mostly kept to himself, not really having any friends. That all changed when he found a mysterious gem while walking through his local park. Now he's woken up in Equestria, where he must make the ultimate sacrifice to save it from total destruction.

Disclaimer: While this takes place after the Cutie Remark, for the sake of simplicity, the Elements of Harmony defeated King Sombra, Queen Chrysallis and Lord Tirek.

The Life Aura Center is one of Equestria's top medical research centers, the producer of spells and medicines that have cured many once-fatal illnesses, and they continue to produce quality technology and cures. No one wants to think that they're doing anything unethical, but Celestia has her suspicions, so she sends Twilight to investigate.

One symbiotic pairing with an alien later, Twilight realizes Celestia was right to be suspicious. Now, working together with the strange creature inhabiting her body, Twilight will have to expose the center's shocking truth. And not get killed in the process. It's gonna be a wild ride.

After a rather weird, yet awkward moment in the cafeteria of Canterlot High, you find yourself having a series of strange encounters with the same group of three girls who've taken a somewhat obsessive interest in you.

Chapters marked "Original" will remain up, but are no longer considered canon to the series.

This story was inspired by "Going Somewhere...?", a very well-written and just plain awesome story written by trevordark. If you haven't read it yet, take a look.

Out of sight and out of mind, a dark figure contemplates the past and the impending future.

Side story and minor prequel to The Lost Element

Written in a burst of inspiration

Available in paperback.
