Anypony can travel Equestria, but only a few get to do it while making it a better place to live. Those few are City Guards, like me. I figured I'd log my journey up through the Guard rankings and unit postings with as much detail as I could. That way I could remember the good, and the bad about every place I go. I have no idea what is in my future, and I don't really want to know. Well... not everything at least.

Companion Story: Flames

This story is a sequel to Incarnate

It has been 100 years since Princess Twilight had recreated the Lunar Lock mirror to Earth following its destruction. While Twilight had seen to the affairs of Equestria with the occasional assistance from Celestia and Luna, Sunset Shimmer had been living and raising a family on Earth only visiting every 30 moons and avoiding the ever growing quagmire of Canterlot politics. It is a blissful existence for Sunset, but sadly, nothing lasts forever.

One night Sunset receives a dream visitor who she did not expect and a warning of the approaching doom of Equestria by ancient creatures. Sunset must choose between either remaining in her self imposed exile or returning to the world she abandoned including facing her family and friends in order to help save them.

Some might think it an easy decision.

It is not.

With Hearth’s Warming Eve just a few days away, more ponies than usual have gone elsewhere for the holiday season and left Ponyville. With the slower business Sugarcube Corner is feeling the difference. They decide to expand their services and deliver to Tartarus. Getting an order from incarcerated Tirek, Mrs. Cake heads out to bring the villain a little holiday cheer.

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” ― Arthur C. Clarke

If you send a message to the stars, you just might get a reply. If one person can hear you speak, so can others. Some who hear your cry will extend a hand in friendship. Some will hear and think only of what they can gain by force.

Rainbow and Pandora learned this when Pan’s nightly chats his interstellar pen pal lead a fleet of interstellar pirates and slavers to Equestria. Where they found Rainbow’s friends.

Neither of them are happy about it. Both will try set things right, or die trying. Even if that means being lost forever in the void between stars.

This story is a sequel to The Bridge: A Godzilla-MLP Crossover

Celebrating 7 years of The Bridge!
After a shocking realization, Mariner Chibi Moon departs on an epic quest to get her sensei, Godzilla Junior; something to celebrate his birthday! She will brave the distant corners of Equestria, and cross paths with some of the zaniest characters and places we've come to love over half a decade of crossover.

But hey, she's the daughter of two senshi guardians, is a bundle of magic, and is the protege to a kaiju; what could happen?

Life for Sunset Shimmer took a turn for the worse when Anon-a-Miss single handedly sowed the seeds of distrust amongst her friends and the entire school, but things got worse when the identity of Anon-a-Miss is finally revealed. Unable to forget how those she thought were her friends and family were quick to assume she had relapsed to her old ways of being a bully, Sunset turns her back on them as they once did to her and is prepared to live a life of shutting out friendship entirely. That is until she happens upon a kind stranger who not only could be the friendly ear to listen to her problems, but even teach her things about friendship that even the Princess of Friendship herself could never teach.

Constantine was just driving to work one day when he was whisked away to the magical land of Equestria due to an experiment gone wrong with the mirror portal. He now has to live as his OC, Crucible Spark, in the whimsical world of ponies.

To Twilight's confusion, he refuses to even try to return, saying this is the best day of his life. She allowed him to stay at the castle until she's able to help him become an official citizen of Equestria.

Ponyville now has to deal with an eccentric, precognitive kirin metalsmith who loves to make weird knives, has unlimited cooking supplies, and speaks an unrecognizable language.

There are a lot of 'Human-turned-something in Equestria' stories out there, but there aren't as many humans who are fully accepting of the antics our beloved ponies do as there are grumpy and/or angsty ones. Most of them just suck it up and force themselves to adapt to Equestria's way of life with a facade of happiness, some with foresight try their best to maintain the "canon" to the point of preventing themselves from functioning normally, while others prefer to constantly reject the values of friendship and harmony due to their predicament, making themselves seem distant and uncooperative.

This story is about one of those humans who'll gladly join ponies in their spontaneous musical numbers and wacky shenanigans without hesitation, but will still do human things that'll make the pastel equines question their sanity.

Apologies to my fellow Indonesians on this site for the unfamiliar dialect. I grew up in one of the lesser-known cities in a... less than wealthy province.

Entry to the Thousand Words Story Contest.

This story is a sequel to Flames

Seven long years of war and the fighting has yet to cease. On the plus side, we have our first Dragon Queen, and most of our alliances are stronger than ever. Unfortunately, it also means our enemies hate us all the more. With no end of the war in sight, I begin to wonder if dragons are really meant for the path I set us on. I look forward to proving that we are indeed ready for peace, but in the event that I am wrong... I have no plan B.

As the ponies of Equestria sleep, Princess Luna looks after their dreams and keeps the nightmares at bay. But as Luna herself sleeps, she is plagued with her own nightmares, brought on by the guilt of her actions as Nightmare Moon. Recent events have prompted her to face these nightmares, however, because nothing can last forever.
