A young man with a love of military history and MLP:FIM finds himself dragged into Equestria as war threatens the pony nation.

I got the idea for this story from my Civil War book collection and Altoid's Blood and Guts and Ponies story, as it involves a human coming to Equestria to aid in its defense, partly by modernizing it's military and leading its forces on the battlefield.

Just a warning; the main character is Christian and pro-Union. Just to give people a heads up.

Story Snapshots contains snippets of stories that I present as 'Snapshots' so you can see what the story contains.

Character and Category tags will be added as needed.
[Humanized]

In the midsts of a frozen winter, as the days get shorter and the nights get colder, somehow, Princess Celestia manages to spend time with those who are truly special.

* Contains no Twilestia

Plagued by demons Equestria has no name for, a human female tosses and turns in fruitless slumber.

Anya bears a diagnosis known by many, but understood by few, and nighttime is the only time she is able to drop the masks she wears to survive life outside her apartment.

If only things were simpler, like the vibrant ponies she's come to adore. If only that world was a real place she could see and touch and feel, perhaps the horrid empty feelings would vanish and she could be as happy as she pretended to be.

Tragedy and pain are universal... and the Moon Princess heeds all calls...

Terrus has had the same persistent nightmare for over three years, and he's tried everything he could think of. Not even Princess Luna was able to banish the ghosts that haunted him. However, one day a potion appears outside his door, and it holds the solution to his problem. Unknown to Terrus, there was some unintended ... side effects. He is learning more about what is causing his nightmares, but he doesn't know if he can handle the truth ...

I'm trying to get better at writing, so I'm putting this on hold until I believe that I can do this story justice. I don't know how long that will be, but I plan to finish it when I'm ready.

The Alicorn Midnight has always guarded the Tree of Harmony but she must finally reveal the truth after 1200 years of hiding in Celestia's Castle. What is she hiding and how will everyone take it. Perhaps like the last time one showed her face in Equestria.

This is my first Fiction at all. Certainly my first FIM fiction.

The day after Nightmare Night, Princess Celestia unexpectedly visits Twilight at her library. She scolds Twilight, accusing her of forcing Luna to relive the worst time of her life by taking on the guise of Nightmare Moon.

Luna is close behind her sister, and she and Twilight have a heart-to-heart conversation wherein each comes to understand the other a bit better.

This story takes place shortly after the events of Luna Eclipsed.

CHAPTER 1 ENDING UNDER REVISION

Kris Brandii had an exciting life on Earth, before he was sent to the moon. He had friends, family, a dog, and many things to live and be there for. Soon enough, the Earth was completely deprived of all of it's natural/important resources. Water, Fresh Air, Plant life, healthy animals? All gone, we weren't sure what had caused all of this, but shortly after us Humans realized this, we were at a loss. The military soon had been forcing people to be sent to the moon, not as punishment, for testing. We were equipped with Astronaut suits, and other special equipment. After we had arrived, it took a whole month to find what was classified as Heel-3. This substance can be made into realistically anything. Later after the discovery of Heel-3, we were forging heel-3 suits, to further increase the time we can spend outside, in the black space. Kris Brandii was just a miner, in a small place named "M00NT0WN" on the moon, clever name, right? But there was a bizarre accident in the mines that put him in a place where he wasn't just a miner.

A "Crater" crossover. You don't need to read the book to understand the story.

Rated "Teen" for language, and blood.

The Pyramids assault has left the whole of Humanity in a state of panic and dread. There are not enough NLS Drives that can get all the Guardians everywhere fast enough to stem their unrelenting assault. That's where the Drifter came in, with his newest cobbled together death trap: the Paracausal Engine. It's a simple idea, utilize the paracausal energies of Light and Dark to make ships go faster, what could possibly go wrong? And best of all he knows just who to test it.

This is my first attempt at writing a proper story in years, and the first that uses either of these franchise. I hope I do them both justice, and I hope you enjoy reading this silly idea of mine.

Whispers of darkness echo forth,
Despair remembered,
Hope imagined,
And a single soul to wake.
