Artemio Baldarich has always led a successful and entrepreneurial lifestyle. At the young age of 23 he seems to have the rest of his life planned out with his role as a computer scientist for a defense contractor in southern California.

Arty’s plans however encounter a major roadblock when a test on a missile defense system leads to him being mysteriously transported to a foreign world beyond anything he ever thought was possible.

Not only is he very disoriented, but he must also deal with the fact that all the creatures around him seem to think that he is a young child based on the body that he now inhabits. Hopefully he will be able to find a way to use his knowledge of his world to build a new life for himself and find a way home.

It was a normal day in Ponyville. Until Twilight found a book describing another alicorn princess named Shay. She is in grave peril.

With impossible enemies and obstacles standing in their way, can Twilight and her friends find Shay and uncover the centuries old mysteries of Equestria? As new secrets come to light, will they give up? Or will the magic of friendship win again? Find out in the action packed first installment in The Last Element trilogy.

After recent events that had transpired, Equestria was at a time of peace and prosperity. Reforms had been made, the Diarchy ruled with a just hoof, and life, in general, was great for the ponies and equine race as a whole.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the rest of Equis, a time of prosperity masked the internal conflicts within the nation, one with seeds that had been implanted long before Equestria went into one of its many golden eras.

Now, an asset from many, many, worlds apart has been set loose and has gone rogue, expansion was one of its goals. Though they would prove to be a testament that even the seemingly most powerful could lack in certain aspects, there is no such thing as perfection in a constantly inconsistent world of imperfections.

Regardless of the predicament, a certain bureaucrat is sent to minimalize both this rogue asset's reach and abilities to the best that his employers wishes, even alleviating some of his restrictions if it meant him doing the job.

Now, a single man may not seem much, even for the standards of a certain Freeman and his achievements, but there are plenty more things that this specific “man” could do.

After all, as he said, “The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference... in the world.”

He is... A bureaucrat or Employer to the few, an Employee of sorts to the numbered.

The story happens before the events of any Half-Life canon (around the time of the Combine's inception) and before Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon.

This story is a sequel to Sweetie Belle Tastes Like Marshmallow

One night, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are awoken by an explosion coming from the Everfree Forest. At the source, they find a mysterious, and familiar, spaceship. This spaceship, however, may hold more than they bargained for...

Side-sequel to Sweetie Belle Tastes Like Marshmallow. Takes place during the unseen night partway through Crusaders of the Lost Mark.

Hegira (n.) - "A flight, or journey, to a more desirable place."

Life is a series of choices. When two worlds collide, choice becomes more difficult, and nuanced. A dying planet has a peculiar way of reshuffling people's priorities.

For a long time, humanity has only had three options: Ignore the inevitable, risk the unthinkable, or become the unimaginable.

All that is about to change.

Everyone knows the Ponies of Equestria fairly well... But here, there be Gryphons.

Book One of the Hegira Trilogy - This story only takes MLP G4 Seasons 1 - 3 as cannon, and ignores 4 and onwards.

In the ancient past, Faust was the strongest of all alicorns who gave birth to Celestia and Luna. All Faust wanted was to live in peace with her two daughters after their father passed away during the war against darkness that is just known by the name Void. Unfortunately, the void monsters were just slowed down and not banished from their realm.

High Alicorn Council "pleaded" for Faust to help them to banish these void monsters so they could live in peace. Faust had no chance other than to help them. Faust managed to banish these void creatures back to the abyss that spawned them, but with a price. All these years Celestia and Luna thought their mother had died like their father fighting to protect the world, but fate has seen to it that their mother gets to see her foals again.
