April 14th, Equestrian Year 3584
14:00 hrs

The Great Spell, an event that shook the very core of Equestria, occurred on this date. Many have heard of the event, even in Little Filly School. A darkness took to the sky, coming from the Valley of the Shade, within the Equestrian Border. The princess was nowhere to be found. Random citizens were turned insane by the event. Then, after the Seven Hours, the darkness faded, along with the insanity. The princess returned, shaken but no worse for wear. She announced it was nothing to be afraid of.

Few comprehend the magnitude. For this nation, this nation of prideful ponies, almost fell.

Whispers went around. What had happened in the Valley? Who was responsible? Would the day return when insanity fell once more? In time, all wounds healed. The whispers died to low rumblings on the underbelly of society. Those involved were not talking. Anyone else who seemed to continue to talk simply faded into the wallpaper. Eventually, the incident was uncovered. An explosion at the Weather Factory, which had been doing renovations at the time.

It would seem the nation's past is as checkered as most.

It has come back to haunt them, on the eve of a momentous occasion.

Now, the task rests upon two unicorns of two very different backgrounds.

The first being Twilight Sparkle, one of the strongest beings in all of Equestria and loyal student to Princess Celestia. Her abilities are unparalleled and her destiny is set in stone. She is to become the new princess. Will her talent of magic win the day and allow her to continue her mighty deeds?

The second is a lone being who has long developed his talents in the night. His association with the royalty has made him a valuable ally and his revelation and power could shift the tides fully in the favor of the ponies. But is his past just as jaded as Equestria's, and will his vengeful spirit ultimately fail him?

The days count down, and the minutes tick by. Destinies will be realized. Mortals will become legends. And legends will become gods.

LEARN FROM YOUR HISTORY

CORNUA, ALIS, ET UNGULIS

Spike now a Freshman in high school with close friends and family at his side. Things go well for the first while or so. Spike finally knows the answer to what has been going on with Twilight and can help her now. The danger may end up being too much for him. Cursed magic running rampant. Enemies return from prison. Many lurking secrets hidden from the world. Just who is doing all of this evil? What is going to happen to each of Spike’s friend. Why does he continue to have nightmares of Pinkie Pie and why can’t Luna see his dreams anymore? Just what happened over 1000 years ago that caused the Evolution of all humankind? Good luck Spike, you’re going to need it.

————————————————————

This is my first fanfic here. Spike is my fav character so I wanted to write about him first. I have no idea how this is going to go. Pinkie Pie is the second most important character to this story. I have no Genre for this yet. I have somewhat part of story (no I am not starlord.) Anyway this will be fun and have a good day everyone. Going to rate this Teen to be safe.

I like to write them more as people than pony. Because I don't get the Pony/MLP age lore which drives me nuts. So doing it in a more Human sense makes it easier for me.

When Twilight and her friends decide to go and spend a whole week camping at the wilds of Equestria, she finally decides to let a weight out from her heart that she has hold for sometime but when there's an accident that she never would have thought to happen, her Faith, Hope and Dreams are put to an test of ultimate survival:

Will she be able to share her burden to her friends, will she overcome her fears and will she ever be able to tell about her feelings to a "special someone", or will she be unable to allow her burden to be shared with anypony?

This is my very first fic that i have wrote here. I hope that you will enjoy it =3 also, if there are anything in what i could improve myself, i would love to hear about it in the comment section. Happy Reading!

*Mostly inspired by the Christian Post-Hardcore band Burden Of a Day song's Remember and My Forfeit, i will quote from those songs few times during the whole story. There are also quotes from other famous and unknown bands as the story goes on. I'll give an cookie to everyone who finds them =3*

**Due to me not being sure about the categories, i placed Comedy and Romance as the 2 main categories. Chapter 1 may not seem like it, but i promise, following ones will do more justice to those categories. I'll also add some more categories once i get more of the story out.**

***Depending on how fast i can write each chapter, proof read it with my friend and get a picture done for the fic, i may spend sometime with this one, just to let ya guys and gals know =3***

**** As you might have already thought, my cover art kinda... sucks. As my winter break just started and i can only work with my covers at school, i was kinda in a hurry to finish this one...
I'll update the cover once my break is over + when i'll write more stories, i'll make sure that the covers wont look as horrible as this one :p****

In a world of taxes, school, and reality television, it seems there is only one place honest, good people can escape to these days: into the magical land of Equestria. Like all bronys, Adrian and his friends Emma, Greg, and Zoe wish that they could place themselves into Equestria for longer then 30 minutes.

Which they do.

Dusk just wanted to go to a picnic with his best friends before spending a relaxing weekend reading, but fate had other plans; namely his older brother's surprise wedding. Rainbow Dash and Rarity broke up, or at least Rainbow thinks they did. Canterlot has been threatened, and the one behind it is closer to the throne than ever. The guards put in place to combat the danger are being lead by Shining Armor's second-in-command Spearhead Sentry, who is spending more time fussing over his little brother Flash and being scared out of his mind by the fearsomely enigmatic Captain Spitfire to focus on training. Princess Luna and her personal guard of vampiric soldiers walk the streets enforcing a curfew, keeping the citizens safe at the expense of their freedoms. Dusk's old friends from school, the bridesmaids in the upcoming wedding between their own best friend and his older brother, miss him... but he doesn't even remember them anymore. The Queen of the Changelings is mobilizing her forces to destroy Princess Celestia and steal the Elements of Harmony, and she doesn't care how many innocent lives she destroys to do it...

The pieces are in place, and Dusk will have a lot on his plate over the next few days. It's a good thing he won't be facing it alone.

Fireflies AU: all equine characters are human, all other characters are anthro, and Twilight has been gender-flipped to Dusk Shine. This is just a snippet of the main story to showcase certain select aspects of worldbuilding, character backstory, lore, and the way magic operates in this AU, as well as the way I utilize retroactive continuity to bring characters introduced later on in the series than the Season 2 finale into play [such as Sunset Shimmer, Flash Sentry, Minuette, Thorax, Starlight, Sunburst, Tempest, and others pending Season 8 and whenever the fifth Equestria Girls movie is released] as well as events from the comics in order to allow for more plot developments. A teaser of sorts for the real thing, if you will. I also make many characters siblings (Spearhead and Flash), and make many other characters openly LGBT or otherwise queer.
Ships: contains Raridash, Dusk Shine X Flash Sentry, allusions to PinkieJack and ScootaBelle, one-sided crushes from Fluttershy to Rainbow and Rarity, from Minuette and Celestia to Dusk, and from Flash Sentry to Sunset Shimmer.
Sex tag for Rainbow and Rarity being intimate, Chrysalis having freaky bug sex, an allusion to an attempted rape, and for a frank discussion between Dusk and Flash about being queer.
Gore tag for Thorax getting his ass kicked in, an unnamed character getting his ass kicked in, bloodied and dead soldiers and changelings, and for an attempted gallows hanging.

Squeaky Clean never thought he wouldn't do anything great in his life and was fine with that. Until 1 day he found something that could make him something truly great, a superhero. Now he must balance battling the forces of evil with maintaining a job as a custodian at Canterlot Castle.

Edit: I'm the process of reworking the series and shall be editing all the chapters before finally posting the grand finale of this grand story. Some will be changed a little others more than a little. To see which chapters have been edited check out below to see the titles and plot of chapters. Those are finished but may also be changed at some point later because an editor is helping me with the grammer.

Due to the possible negative influence of the down votes I got on the first chapters, ratings are disabled temporarily. Ratings will be re-enabled after the ninth chapter is published. Comments are still permitted.

(Or: Ashen Blaze Snarks, Deadpans, and Genre Savvy's His Way Through Season 8)
It is said that those who can, do, and those who can't, teach.
Ashen Blaze thought he would always belong to the first group, that the day he couldn't step up and take action against evil, injustice, and chaos would be the last day of his life. In the aftermath of the battles to repel the Storm King's invasion of Equestria, however, Ash finds himself still very much alive but unable to safely use all but the simplest of Unicorn Magic due to a twice-broken horn. Fearing what may happen if he returns to Taryn and his original humanoid body before the damage is fully healed, Ash chooses to remain in Equestria but doesn't know what to do with himself.
Fortunately, it doesn't take long for a solution to Ash's quandary to present itself. The only question is, is a pony who has known nothing but violence all his life really qualified to teach at a school that focuses on Friendship?

In an alternate universe, the twin nations of Equestria and the Crystal Empire have ruled side by side during a thousand year period of harmony. The Crystal Empire, ruled by Princess Radiant Hope and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, has grown significantly since its early days as a single, if impressive, city. In Equestria, meanwhile, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have shared a peaceful reign together since their defeat of Discord a millennium before. They even run a successful magic school together, and have two highly gifted personal protégés, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.

However, the peace cannot last forever. The Grand Equestria Pony Summit is approaching, and scores of ponies are arriving just to get a chance to see all four princesses together at once. In the shadows, a group of ponies has plans to awaken an old enemy long forgotten. Should they succeed, lives will be lost, bonds will be broken, and old wounds will be reopened.

Can the power of friendship win in a world where no one can be trusted? Not even yourself?

Note: Ok... I normally don't ever go on here, but I am bored and I feel like attempting to write some stuff. This is a story that my school friends and I made up one day about what would happen if my non brony friend (we shall call him simply Alex) went to equestria and lived with the ponies. Me and my friend (We shall call him simply Dante) Loved the idea... Alex, not so much. The first chapter will be in the real world and the rest will be in teh magical pony land... and yes, this is supposed to be silly/stupid/weird. Will there be an end to it? I don't even know, whatever comes to mind when I write it. Cover image may or may not be relevant to the story... Also, While there may be inside jokes from my friends, This is generally a "non brony goes to pony ville" story, there is only so much inside jokes i can put in.

The humanity has entered the Golden Age of Science. Every day, discoveries in the fields of astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics create new concepts and shape the world of tomorrow, so one discovery or another will bring a revelation that might shock the world.
Meet Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Sunset Shimmer, 7 teenagers of the 2nd year of high school who made a breakthrough discovery: magic, a force that rules another dimension, yet 8 magic incidents ended up showing how dangerous it can be.
An unknown potency to them traces a dangerous plan upon the discovery of magic, the girls and their personal lives, a plan to reveal to the world everything the girls have uncovered. This revelation might be a harbinger of doom and ruin of the civilization, when the pillars supporting modern society (history, science, politics, religion and so on) are threatened by a global scale revolution that can change the view on everything.
