Uploading to Equestria Online seems like a good idea. You get to live basically forever, and all your values are fulfilled. But unfortunately, you would have to become a pony. Or do you?

Set in the Optimalverse.

'Scootaloo had a great life here. Two best friends she would do anything for, a great guardian that took care of her and loved her. The best big sister ever! But Scootaloo couldn't help but feel that something was missing. She knew what that thing was. It was her mother. '

Scootaloo's life when she lived with her mom.

The Sunsister and the Snowbrother. They are one of the greatest cover duos in the world. Gaining YouTube fame for their cover tracks and their gaming channel.

The Sunsister: A known professor in the study of Mythology, as well as a known model and rocker. Many people had lusted over the girl for a while since she debuted.

The Snowbrother: A young comic book artist who managed to create a series that even matched the likes of Marvel and DC. He is also a known rocker.

These two garnered a lot of fame and admires but how did they meet?

Well on the anniversary on when they both met, both Sunset and Lincoln look back at how they met.

From bitter beginnings to the phenomenal present.

Here is the story of The Sunsister and the Snowbrother.

(AU of both Anon-A-Miss and No Such Luck. Inspiration for the concept comes from EquineAvenger's Equestria Girls: Of Secrets and Superstitions

Also...DO NOT EXPECT FORGIVENESS!!

By the year 2238, two-thirds of humanity have become "ponies', living in an online virtual reality paradise where everything they could ask for is theirs to have at a moment's notice. It is a world of freedom, where all biological needs are eliminated and you can live forever doing whatever it is that pleases you.

But for some, Equestria can seem less a paradise and more a prison, an artificial and manufactured place where nothing is real and everything is a simulated lie to make you feel comfortable. Perhaps, even the feelings of the mare sitting next to you holding your hoof. How could you ever be sure even your own feelings are truly yours if you're just a program stored on a server?

Does living in Equestria mean Twilight Sparkle has to choose between her heart and her soul?

Entry for 2021 "Friendship is Optimal" contest. Pre-read by TheAlbinocorn, RTStephens, and FanOfMostEverything

Twilight Sparkle and her friends have been model Equestrian citizens for years. After finally reuniting with Twilight, their lives were given real meaning. They’d become heroes; Equestria’s protectors, but the girls have always had bigger plans for the kingdom. Now the wedding of Shining Armor draws near, everything is about to come out into the open. Of course, there will always be those whom resist.

Everypony knows Buck Norris. He can break a Pinkie promise. Braeburn is gay for him. He raises the sun and moon with one hoof. No, he is not a myth. He is real, and the only reason you are still alive to read the fic is that he has spared you long enough to do so. Read it, or he will banish you by roundhouse kicking you to the moon.

Trixie is many things, showmare, magician, user of slight-of-hoof, performer and storyteller. But in the end, all of that doesn't mean she can't be truly Great and Powerful when she needs to be.

Starlight writes her final farewell to Twilight.

She didn't expect this to be this hard.

But it's for the best.

She only hopes Twilight sees it this way too.

Inspired by Thought I'd Let You Know

Equestria is expanding unstoppably. The Conversion Bureaus are working at peak capacity. It looks absolutely certain that Celestia will replace humanity with ponies.

But then one niggling flaw appears in her plan. You see, humanity's religions, while dismissed by Celestia as just more evidence of human barbarism, are correct in at least one respect. Humanity has a loving father, and what Celestia is doing makes Him angry. So angry in fact, He's going to do what He hasn't done since ancient times: smite.

Seems like Exodus is being reenacted, and guess who's playing Pharoah?
