(Update: Complete!)

Brother Chester is on a routine recruitment mission for the Holy Mother's love cult when he becomes a witness to attempted murder.  And that quickly becomes the least remarkable part of his day.

Suddenly, in every possible sense, he’s caught between two worlds – between Equestria and the human realm; civilization and wilderness; heroes and villains; and most importantly, between two versions of the most remarkable woman/wolf/dragon he’s ever met, embroiled in a lethal magically-augmented feud.  

Armed with nothing but the power to see emotions, Chester’s going to need to learn how to navigate them.  And fast.

There is a prequel short story, Fang and Flame, which introduces two of the three main characters — but this was written to be accessible without it. I recommend reading it as well, but this blog post has everything you need to know.

Rated PG-13 for action-movie violence, occasional swear words, and brief sexual situations/light discussion of sex.

Being brought back from death by his supporters and overthrowing Cadance has given Sombra a valuable hoofhold in Equestria. Yet to stand against his enemies, he might have to offer the unthinkable to a questionable ally.

Can a diabolic king survive a devilish queen?

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.

This story is a sequel to Paladin Shimmer goes on a bender

How many times did she think her life was over, that all was hopeless? How many times did Sunset Shimmer think that there was nothing left for her?

She held on, and kept holding on. And Every time she fell, she rose again.

But this time, it won't be enough.

This story is both Prequel, Midquel AND Sequel to two of my fics, both "Paladin Shimmer goes on a Bender" And "The Princess and The Peasant" There will be a lot of setup on the early chapters before I get to what the ultimate plan with this fic is: To rewrite Forgotten Friendship but on a fantasy setting of FIM, with the characters I've established on those two fics! (expecially the first)

For now, you can read it without reading those two-- But I'll leave a warning on the author notes when it would be ideal to read each fic, if you so desire. They're both bangers, heh. If you are in any way confused by the timeline of this sequence of stories, consult this blog post!

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.

When the Dazzlings get another chance at Canterlot High, Aria decides that there's one way the get what she wants, by being a bully. The only problem she has is that she can't break one geek who she keeps crashing into. And when they are paired up in shop class, she has to find a way to get what she wants.

And the only way to do that is the one way that she hates the most.

This story is a sequel to What's Your Problem?

With the second semester of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s school of Friendship in full swing, a series of field trips is planned to foreign nations.  Specifically, the home countries of the five non-pony exchange students. These will be both a gesture of goodwill on all sides, and a chance for the various cultures to be exposed to each other first hoof, claw, and talon.

Follow Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, and Sandbar as they continue to mature while learning about the countries their friends come from.

This is my second long-form story on here, meant to be a deeper exploration of the Student 6 and their homelands. Expect a lot of soft world-building and minor character development, and if you get any ideas for your own fanfictions from all this exploration, good for you! :3

The arcs, in tentative order, will go through...

• The Hive (Changelings)
• Mount Aris (Hippogriffs)
• The Dragon Lands (Dragons)
• Yakyakistan (Yaks)
• Griffonstone (Griffons)

There will also be interludes which explore the Young Six and other students, with more detailed character development / analysis than the first one.

Long before Sunset Shimmer went to the human world, Star Swirl the Bearded and Princess Celestia traveled across the multiverse in search of knowledge. Now, a thousand years on, the consequences of those travels have come back to haunt Celestia and threaten Equestria. Twilight Sparkle and her friends must venture to another world and face an all-too-familiar evil, all while considering the road not traveled and past mistakes.
