Hoofball is the world's game and is played by any and every creature under Celestia's radiating sun and Luna's majestic moon. Fillies and Colts take up the sport from a young age and do their best to improve and grow strong in order to become just like their heroes that have come before them. These youngsters look up to the prestigious competition of the Equestrian Hoofball League (EHL) and look to one day be holders of both the EHL trophy as well as the highly coveted Harmony Cup.

Radiant Shine was once one of those youngsters who looked up to the EHL. A filly with a dream. Now she is one of the hottest young forwards in the land, considered a prodigy by many. She has worked hard in order to get to this point but she will have to work even harder to reach her goal of being an EHL star. Her hard work will be put to the test in the all important 'Trial Day', where Radiant and all other trialists will show their stuff in front of coaches and scouts from all 20 of the Equestrian Hoofball League's teams. She'll need to give it her all and then some but if she is selected, she will be one step closer to her dream.

Based on Snowcrash & Tron with a hint of Mr. Robot

Ellana Glacia. An alien being from another world across space and time. With powers untold and unknown, alongside some near blindness, is going to save Equestria without harming a soul. She finds herself upon the merry world of My little Pony... or not so merry. Everything is not as it should be. The ponies of Equestria act differently, talk differently, even have obscene morals compared to the show she once knew. Now there is talk of a war, a great war, the final apocalyptic war with shadow. An untold silly notion to her as a wishing star incarnate. The final days of Equestria seem upon the minds of every equine, diamond dog, and dragon in the land. As an army of stupid shadow beings led by the immortal twin kings of hate and fear bear down upon the queendom of Equestria, the last standing nation in the world, there seems to be no hope in sight. That is until Ellana takes a stand and shows the world that hope never truly dies, that hope is truly... bizarre and that the platinum dawn has come.

This story is a sequel to A Moonlit Storm

In a world full of multiple sapient species, espionage is a delicate art. No nation can rely too much on their majority species, lest their spies stand out like beacons of suspicion, and so the Equestrian spy network is surprisingly diverse, with some of the Crown's most trusted agents not being ponies at all.

Kisu has served Equestria loyally for years, and the zebra mare feels she's earned her retirement, but troubling news in a far-off land has her called into service again. Because she is one of the most trusted and loyal, and so Princess Celestia knows she'll be the most effective eyes and ears she can get in the middle of a kingdom gearing up for war.

Kisu must infiltrate the forces of the Storm King, sabotage his war efforts against Abyssinia, and most importantly, make some friends.

An entry in the Eventide Verse. Reading A Moonlit Storm is recommended, but no other stories are required.

In the red/blue version of pokemon it says this about haunter: "Haunter can pass through solid walls. It is because of this that it is believed it is from another dimension." A fact I can confirm for you, personally.

This story is a sequel to Dragon's Rest

In a world constantly embroiled by strife and violence, there is always some profit to be made on the side.

As an insurance investigator for defense company Crystalstar in Hippogriffia, Azerda Zamarata is responsible for investigating overseas cases for military assets, with some…corporate legal liberties. Seeing her home lost twice in one lifetime, the zebra only has her eyes for monetary gain – but with each case, she can only hope to make something of herself in a rapidly changing world.

This story is a sequel to Classroom Changeling

Two and a half years ago, a magical incident caused about a fifth of Earth's population to transform into Equestrians. Six people rose up to stop the problem before it could get any worse, but the world has already been changed forever.

Now, three of those people are taking a summer job in Equestria:

Rove, the snarky, sometimes stubborn Changeling with issues involving power.
Os, his smart and loyal, but often emotional thestral girlfriend.
And Lily, the shy but motivated dragon with a love of botany and magic.

Join these three as they explore themselves through their experiences with Twilight and friends, while their relatives deal with problems on Earth.

Years before the prophesized thousandth, Lord Night Light was an asset of the Crown.

Word has travelled to Equestria about suspicious activity in the nation of Farasi, signs that an organization called the Thunderstrikes are in search of an artefact originally thought lost to time. Night Light has been summoned to secure that artefact, an amulet of unicorn make, and return it to pony hooves.

Joining him will be a dangerous mare who calls Farasi her birth home, and who will provide him his cover, along with a pair of charismatic locals, all with the same goal: To be sure that the amulet is retrieved as quickly as possible, and that he survives the retrieval.
