"This nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing an astronaut on the moon and returning them safely to Earth."

- Excerpt of speech to US Congress by President Amore. It inspired her nation in such a way that her sucessor, Sombra, vowed to make it a reality.

The Space Race is considered by most to be the most ambitious undertaking in the history of humankind. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched a series of programs that aimed to advance scientific discovery and engineering by leaps and bounds, and push the world into a new age of exploration. It was almost the crowning achievement of our species.

Almost.

-Inspired by William Safire's contingency speech for Richard Nixon during the moon landings.

Also, The Martian, Gravity, and pretty much anything else space-related.

Like most, I used to be a regular guy going about day-to-day life. Now? I'm stuck in a world of anthropomorphic ponies, deemed the most dangerous thing to ever grace the lands alongside a mismatched trickster, dark magic emo twat, lying (though admittedly sexy and hot) bug queen and a power stealing hybrid cunt.

Worst part though? I've been turned into a Nuckelavee from RWBY.

Swell.

So yeah, I've decided to do a displaced story where a guy gets turned into a grimm from RWBY, specifically the Nuckelavee. Maybe within the first five chapters I'll get some crossovers with other stories/writers going, who knows.

Any who, this has been Redsummer, and I hope you enjoy.

P.s: this is inspired by Equestria's White Fang by Garnet Naturea

P.p.s: I do not own either MLP, RWBY nor the cover art. So do not assume I do.

Sonata finds herself wanting to go back to Equestria to apologize to Twilight, and discovers that things aren't the same as they used to be.

Celestia was alone, alone in her near immortality, and alone in her position of authority. It was threatening to drive her mad. In her desperation she reaches the only logical conclusion. That conclusion might be enough to ruin her relationship with Starswirl forever, and yet she could not stop herself. After all, what was the harm in one simple request?

Written for an art trade with Commander Rainstorm. You said I could write anything, so I wrote this.

This story is a sequel to The Knight and the Knave

With Princess Luna free of the Tantabus, Princess Celestia is ready to reveal an ancient secret to her sister and Twilight Sparkle: she is missing a large swath of her memories. Celestia has been unable to restore them by herself, so she will need the help of her friends to recover the missing details of her past.

Unfortunately, some buried things were not meant to be unearthed.

This story is a sequel to Renaissance Pony

Twilight has always dreamed of meeting her hero, Starswirl the Bearded. She finally gets her wish fulfilled on a mysterious deserted world. Together they investigate how they got there, where the world's inhabitants went, and why amongst all ponies, they two were brought to this desolate place. To Twilight's consternation, the more they learn, the sadder Starswirl becomes, until finally she is faced with a devastating choice that would have her betray her mentor, her friends, and even her innermost convictions.

Artwork by Nevina, based on a prior drawing by TotallyNotaBrony (Note: you don't need to have read Renaissance Pony before reading this story.)

Who was Starswirl, before he became the greatest sorcerer of all time? What legacy did he leave behind after he disappeared? Why was he so bad at friendship?

Luster Dawn has never known why. Luckily a certain pony answers it for her.

Twilight's parents have arranged a marriage between her and a pony named Star Swirl. When Twilight finds out, she is not happy.

However, before she has time to dwell on it, disaster strikes.

A powerful unicorn named Sombra has begun taking over the country, destroying entire villages and towns as mere game. According to the breathless messenger, the nearest town, only two days travel, is already under his control. All mages who fought him have failed, even with their combined strength.
Burdened with this knowledge, Star Swirl immediately prepares for a long journey, one that he and Twilight will share. Legend tells of an enchanted book hidden deep within the mountain ranges, said to hold spells more powerful than that of ten skilled sorcerers. He believes it may be the only way to defeat Sombra before it's too late.

Throughout their mission, they will face many challenges and trials. They will make mistakes, learn new skills, and prepare for coming storm on their return. Together, they endure everything life has to throw at them.
Twilight begins warming up to Star Swirl, even enjoying his company.

And then one day, the realization hits her.

She is slowly falling in love with him.

(This story is set in the same time era of when the three pony tribes lived apart. But before the events that created 'hearts warming eve'.)

(Also, I know the cover photo makes him look old, but in this story he's really about the same age as Twilight.)

This story is a sequel to Spike Finds Love At Last

After a long and confusing relationship in the future, Spike and Twilight fell in love and decided to marry. The dragon's been adjusting to life as a husband and a prince, but just when he starts to get comfortable, he discovers that Twilight's pregnant with their first child. Fast forward several months, and she gives birth to their baby--only that said baby turns out to be a creature once thought to be just a myth. It turns out to be a kirin, a hybrid of a pony and a dragon.

When Starswirl the Bearded gets wind of this, it sends him asking questions of his own, questions he sets out to find the answers to. Celestia will join him on this quest, and what he will find out might just send shockwaves through Equestria...

In the meantime, Twilight and Spike have no idea how to raise a kirin, but they're determined to put everything they have into it. To say she'll be a handful is an understatement, especially when she unveils her powers...

Part 2 of the My Little Kirin saga. Spike Finds Love is Part 1. However, it is not required reading for this story. Edited with the help of Salnalus. No, the kirin doesn't look like that, just wanted to use a pic to show what they look like in mythology.

Starswirl holds the key to an ancient secret. What he finds in the present may help to unravel the mystery of the oldest magic in Equestria. With the help of some new friends, he's going to try and restore the balance of Equestrian magic before it's too late.
