Chris Redfield, Certified Badass Boulder Puncher Extraordinaire™, likes to believe that he's prepared for anything. But when he's sent to another world by uncertain means, the sight of a big grey monstrosity and a small alabaster unicorn brings up painfully repressed memories....

Not meant to be taken seriously in the slightest.

The Mane Six disappear from Equestria without a trace in the process of successfully saving Ponyville from a magical storm. They are presumed deceased after some time passes, and the Elements return to the Tree of Harmony.

They wake up, not as the ponies they were, in another world.

A world known as Azeroth.

Faced with a new set of challenges, can they hold onto the values they embody and the code they lived by, or will they be forced to adapt to the ways of this strange new world? A world of bloodshed and hate, of light and dark, of alien races, of undead and demons. A World of Warcraft.

(Historical note)
On recent events:

I've found the recent reports of harassment and workplace issues at Activision-Blizzard to be extremely troubling. They also come at a time when I've been playing much less of the game as it is, as a result of disengagement and disillusionment with various aspects of WoW's current gameplay and storytelling.

For these reasons, in addition to my own failure to upload regularly, I've contemplated putting Azeroth's Skies on hiatus again... or just cancelling it entirely. 

However... while I may not be playing WoW at the moment, and may never do so again, I feel like fan work is something we could do with more of right now. I also don't feel like I'm finished in this world just yet. So for now, I'm going to do my best to continue the story.

I hope this makes sense, but I understand if anyone else feels differently as a result of what has happened. Thank you all for your support for this story so far.

Author's Notes:

- On the MLP side of things, this is set before Season 5* kicks off, albeit with minor references to elements from the season opener.
- On the Warcraft side, this is set shortly after the formation of the Shattered Sun Offensive, but I will be taking liberties with certain events that were placed somewhat loosely into the timeline.

*For about 10 years, I've had this written here as Season 4 - but this was a typo, as it was always meant to take place after Twilight's first visit to Canterlot High in Equestria Girls. Sorry!

Inspired by Rebirth of the Damned, by Borsuq. If somehow you've seen this and missed his excellent story, go check it out!

Now with some awesome cover art, which I commissioned from Mario Teodosio!

Even though they live on a planet completely devoid of magic, it turns out humans are naturally gifted in it. Or at least this one is. Anonymous has lived in the castle for a while now and somehow found out he can do magic. Luna offered to take him as her student and Celestia agreed, thinking it would help her sister come out of her shell a bit. Celestia regrets that decision.

At least she can't complain that things are boring.

Story is from Celestia's POV. Tags will be added as needed.

Anthology where Anon learns a new spell every week (in universe) and does something stupid with it.

If you think of any spells you'd like Anon to learn, feel free to leave a comment or PM me.

In Equestria's distant past, long before the rule of Luna and Celestia, before even Discord and the endless winter, the three tribes of ponies lived united, but they were not alone.

Among the tribes lived another race, unskilled in magic, incapable of flight, and without the natural talent to farm, they relied instead on their strength, industriousness, and ingenuity to find their place amongst the ponies.

In their time they were known as great builders and artisans, a gentle hand molding the world of culture and bringing joy and shelter to all.

But history learned them by another name.

Knights, the great warrior race that faced the armies of Tartarus and perished in victory, or so the legend goes.

But as Princess Celestia, the Elements of Harmony, and all of modern Equestria shall soon learn, one should not put trust in the words of fairy-tales...

Sunset and Twilight have been inseparable since Twilight moved into town, and have been just that until young Sunset develops an unexpected crush.

This story is a sequel to You Will Never Be Alone

After the Fall Formal, Sunset found the one thing she always wanted. A family. She got a loving mother, a great aunt, a sweet little sister, and the kindest soul in the world, who is her girlfriend. But her journey is not over yet. Let's see, where her destiny will bring her while finding out some secrets of the elements of harmony, that no one knew before.

This story is a sequel to A Skitch in Time (Revised)

The threat of The Collector has been vanquished, and peace has returned to the land of Equestria. Everything should be back to normal, right?

If only it were that simple.

The nations beyond Equestria's borders now stare at the sister monarchs with suspicion, viewing them as potentially compromised and dangerous; forcing Celestia and Luna to play international politics while they hurry to keep tabs on wards and prisons for dark forces long sealed away.

Meanwhile, the former human, now pony known as Skitch-Sketch struggles to find purpose in her life in Ponyville. Fear of other threats dominate her nightmares, and to make matters worse she will have to face her most deadly foe yet...

A mortgage!

Oh yeah, and her cutie-mark is fading away too.

It was a normal day on Sweet Apple Acres when Rarity came to visit Applejack. Although, when news about Rarity's business comes up, Applejack takes action to try and cheer up a fallen friend. That's what friends are for. To reassure you that maybe things are tough; but that doesn't mean you can't take a moment to just relax.

Humanized characters.

Suggestion by Merc the Jerk.

Based partly off the Barenaked Ladies song "Odds Are"

It started in the distant, rough and tumble Griffin mining town of Shady Sands, infamous for being a town where just saying the wrong greeting could start a fight and not a day went by where a building didn't get wrecked by some wild brawl in the saloon.

Then the Sheriff came to town and started a revolution that swept across the Griffin Kingdoms.

Now, Twilight Sparkle is facing a strangely worthy test of her intellect and skill as a scholar as the Sheriff's strange weapons are now being considered for usage by the Royal Guard for law enforcement duties and Princess Celestia wants her faithful student to answer one rather difficult question.

How can simple foam darts fly truer than any arrow or spell, penetrate magical shields and armour, knock an adult pony out cold, level buildings and yet not leave a bruise on a foal?

The journey to find out the answer will be long, painful, and full of foam.

Set somewhere in Season Six. Definitely after Five.

Cuddles meet crusades, and hilarity ensues.
