Most, if not all bronies would love to meet the mane six, or even one of the background ponies, just to meet them and say how much they love the show and all of that. But what if, instead of you meeting them, they meet you?

Well, this is what happened to a fairly new brony. He may have known the show for about a year, but he loved it more than anything. When a simple wish turns out to be true, he is in for the ride of his life.

The eruption of Mount Maud was more than the birth of a landmark. Vast amounts of wealth lay unclaimed in the Ashlands, protected only by fatal levels of magic.

Maybe 'only' isn't the right word here....

Tungstine was a pony with a plan, he saw opportunity where others saw adversity. So he created a golem, impervious to such trifling obstacles as background magic, and gifted with intelligence to better serve it's role.

But what do you do when your plans go horribly right? And when is a gift a curse?

Lucky Coin has always been an avid worker. When he’s told to jump, he says “how high?” When told to fill out form A38, he asks “how fast?” And when told to apply heavy sanctions on a struggling widow who forgot to declare a purchase she’s made half a decade ago, Lucky ensures that it’ll be his absolute pleasure.

It’s with this kind of go-getter attitude that Lucky secured himself the prestigious and heavily sought-over position as the new liaison between the Equestrian Revenue Bureau and the municipality of Ponyville. The catch? After rifling through the new files he inherited, much to his shock, he winds up uncovering the fraudulent background of an Element Bearer.

What can be done when criminal activities originate from a pony immuned from prosecution? Can the Bureau find a loophole to hoofcuff the perpetrator? And if so, will Equestria stay safe with one of their protectors wasting away behind bars? Is this bureaucratic maelstrom and its many political ramifications even worth the hassle?

For Lucky Coin, the answer couldn’t be clearer: The law supersedes everything. It’s up to him to set this mess straight.

This is an analysis of the famous background pony Ditzy Do, or more popularly known as "Derpy Hooves". This document explains why many of her more well known features are the way they are. Everything for how she got her cutie mark, to why she loves muffins are explained.

This is my take on how the background ponies see events, from the perspectives of Trixie, Doctor Hooves, Ditzy Doo, Octavia, Thunder Lane, and Lyra. It contains my personal answers to some unanswered questions, and what the Background characters do during crisis' in Ponyville.

Centuries in the future, Equestria is undergoing a monumental clean up task. The last Bot Engaged in Refuse Relocation Equestria Class (BERR-E) unit has been hard at work trying to make it hospitable again. But when an Autonomous Universe Traveler (AUT) comes to Equestria, BERR-E will go on a journey across the stars. Can she finally bring ponies home to Equestria? And just how equine can a robot get?

Tempest Shadow, a household name for horror movies, has startled fans with the shocking announcement of her lead role in the new family friendly film ‘BERR-E’. Even more surprising is the directors choice to have her co-lead be a no name Kirin who’s been lurking in the background for years now. What will this mean for BERR-E’s release? Will this be the summer's biggest flop?

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.

Marcus Fenix has known almost nothing but war his entire life. It has consumed every aspect of his existence, and it has torn his world apart. After years of fighting and sacrifice, the tides have finally started to turn in favor of humanity. But after their most recent mission goes horribly wrong, Marcus and Delta squad find themselves in a bright world so very unlike their own. Surrounded by a myriad of talking ponies, can the hardened soldiers come to grips with the innocent nature of the realm they now find themselves in? And what will they do when they discover that all is not well in this naive new world?

(A/N: This story takes place before the events of Gear of War 3, and between seasons 2 and 3 of MLP: Friendship is Magic. I've never read most of the supplemental material for Gears, so forgive me if I get some of the background stuff wrong. I'll do my best to research it/correct myself.)

After her actions during Manehattan's Fashion Week, Rarity develops a crush on her best friend and the princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle. But Rarity is only interested in princes, she can't just like mares, can she? What does that make Rarity, and what will she do?

(this is my first ever fanfic, so i don't know if it'll be the pinnacle of literature, but i love both of these characters and they're my favourite ship and I can't not write about them anymore lol)

Planning an event that's sure to draw all of Ponyville is a lot of hard work. There's all sorts of small details to take care of. And since everypony is so distracted and distraught by recent events, who better than Cheerilee to step in and help out? She has experience with organization and planning, after all. She's been teaching for years.

And whoever says that she's throwing herself into her volunteering so she doesn't have to think too hard about what's happening is wrong. She's dealing with her grief just fine. She's Just Fine! Everything is FINE!
