A certain event bound the destinies of several fillies. However, in this reality, it did so much more. An Equestria where the ponies had a fear of great change had caused their civilization to stagnate in some areas. Fearing what would happen if this continued, the Tree of Harmony sought a way to push equinekind forward again. It found its opportunity in a filly named Rainbow Dash. Through her Sonic Rainboom the Tree empowered it to extend beyond Equus.

Sophia Craft, ruler of the Starcraft Federation, picked up on the energy and decided to investigate. It was there that she found a project for her and her family to work on.

However, the energies of the Rainboom would draw more than Sophia as Equus would soon find itself as a battleground for intergalactic powers that they were woefully unprepared to face.

This story will contain elements of Starcraft but is set far into the future from that timeline where only those from that time who have frozen themselves would be in this story while any others would have long died of old age. Also, while Sophia is anthro normally, she will be in a feral state for the majority of the story so I couldn't say if an anthro tag is necessary. Tags may change or be added as the story progresses.

You do not need to know about Starcraft.

Hi thanks for checking out my story! This story will focus on different characters along the way, but the main focus will be Luna and her struggles. 🌛 Please let me know if you have any advises/comments on my writing or story plot thx!

If you ever met Sunstone when he was but a young colt, you would’ve seen a large grin, two purple eyes full of determination, and an earth pony who could take on the world.

But something happened over the years. As Sunstone grew older, more and more did his cheerful smile morph into an ugly scowl. His enthusiastic attitude gradually capsized, leaving in its stead a disgruntled husk of his former self.

Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle: Two gifted unicorns that would quickly undermine everything Sunstone has been hoping to achieve, unintentionally turning him into the underdog he never wished to be. Resentment overtaking his better judgement, feeling doomed to be living forever in the shadow of his immensely successful brother and sister, Sunstone has had a lifetime of feeling thoroughly unremarkable.

Unable to bear his inability to stand out amongst his younger siblings, Sunstone vowed to never see his family again. It’s been five years since he departed on a journey to finally understand his true place in Equestria.

Not once has he looked back at the life he left behind.

After getting stuck together on a class project, Sunny starts to question her views of Indigo. The brash tomboy was very different when they were working together, and that just didn't add up. So it was time to do some digging.

Hints of romance in later chapters, this is basically the backstory for Indigo and Sunny's relationship. There's some threads to other fics, but they're really not gonna jump out until later.

I hope you enjoy, I'm no good at drama.

Oh snap, this was featured on 10/26/22
Never imagined I'd make it to the front page outside of update windows, that's really cool!

So Squirrel was just doing a Lethal Company recording with his friends: Delirious, Cartoonz, and Kyle. It was just a simple recording until a weird event made him disappear from his room. He's now in a weird place that makes him question: "How did he get here?"

Well, now he's gotta find out and meet some weird Horses and Horse town. What could possibly happen? Who knows, but Squirrel wasn't expecting this, neither were the Horses.

Also, I obviously didn't do the thumbnail of the story.

Maëva lives in a strange world. The legends talk about old mages, coming from a world of ponies, that met with humans a long time ago.
They left soon after, never to return again. The known portals vanished and the others were lost to time, only to be found again, by chance, at random points in history.
As a slow apocalypse is falling on Maëva's world, her friend Éma discovers one of those portals. Maybe it is luck, or fate, or a carefully devious plan from another entity, but either way, here's their escape route.
After all, living as a pony can't be as worse as being a human on a planet were earthquakes have become as common as rain, right?

Well, about that "being a pony" thing...

Story made for the Portal Transformations Contest and to prove to myself that I can write an actual HiE that isn't just a self-insert with a twist. Probably won't be done in time tho.
Post-deadline changes : 12/03/2024, added chapter 3

Fully written with ArianP92's remix of The Gypsy Bard in the background.

On a late morning in ponyville, the inhabitants of the Castle of Friendship wake up long after the sun rises to make a startling discovery; Spike had inexplicably transformed into an Alicorn! Even stranger, nopony seems to remember anything about the previous day at all, to understand what had caused such a thing to occur.

Thanks to my darling clansmate Leviathan and one of my best friends, silent_user, for getting me to write pony fanfiction. Cover art courtesy of twilight stock images, background from here: https://www.deviantart.com/limedreaming/art/Castle-of-Friendship-Part-1-517352041 , and pony maker for Spike. And also silent_user, for unrelentingly pestering me until I gave it cover art, because I wasn't going to.

Spike has had enough of being treated as a slave instead of a friend. He works, cleans, does chores for Twilight and her friends, and gets abandoned. Being sick and tired of being used as a tool, an object for his so-called friends, he wishes for better life without them. Little did he know that his wish was going to grant him the best adventure ever.

While Spike is gone, Discord is going to disguise himself as Spike to see if Twilight and her friends are worthy to be Spike's friends or not. Change is on the horizon in Equestria for everyone. However, some changes are not for everyone.

Thenewbluebrony sent me a gift. An artwork of Spike's Fairy Tail Emblem on his chest. In honor of the gift, I've decided to make it my cover art image for the story after the 200th chapter.

I lost count of how many times the story was featured after 100 times but it started on June 16th, 2021 since I mainly publish chapters late at night. (Habit of mine)
