Bellerophon is found on the verge of death at the outskirts of the Everfree Forest. But instead of Fluttershy, Lero is found by Granny Smith Apple along the borders of Sweet Apple Acres. How will this change things for him, and what about everyone else?

Spike The Dragon has always loved to eat gems, but he'll eat vegetables and rocks as well. He's even tried fish, since Twilight joined Herd Bellerophon with its pegasus and human members. But now he's accidentally found out what meat tastes like.

What ponies taste like.

Fortunately, you get to decide how it all turns out! A Choose-Your-Own-Ending-I-Don't-Care story!

In an unfortunate and impossible turn of events, Quantum physicist Sam Beckett leaps into Lero, a young human who lives with his herd in Equestria... wait... herd? Sam's mission... stop the herd from falling apart. If you haven't read Xenophilia or seen Quantum leap I suggest you do it before you read this. For those who haven't seen the show, Sam Beckett is the one on the left and Al Calavicci is the one on the right. And there will be no clop in this story.

A man, a draconequus, a conversation they have, and food that doesn't taste like it's supposed to. Set in the Divided Rainbow wing of the Xenophilia universe.

Twilight Sparkle presents a collection of interviews, letters, essays, poetry and prose compiled over several years of her relationship with the human Bellerophon and his "herd", covering subjects as broad as Equestrian social taboos, comparisons of earth and Equestrian mythology, romance and the occasional recipe. Compiled by Twilight Sparkle, with foreword by Her Royal Highness, Princess Celestia.

(This is a bit of an experiment based on the worldbuilding concepts presented in AnonAuthor's Xenophilia [[NSFW] - caveat lector!], which intrigued me enough to want to take a closer look. It's likely you'll be very confused by this unless you read at least some of Xenophilia. Updates will appear as and when an idea pops into my head for a thing to add. And fair warning, some of this might come across very dry and dusty. Thank you academia! And thank you AnonAuthor for letting me have a go, and both AnonAuthor and AnonponyDASHIE for all the collab work they're doing. I'll make up for the dust by tossing in the odd piece of art now and then.)

He had shown her what it meant to fall, taught her to follow her heart no matter where it might lead. She loved him for it.

A Xenophilia side fic.

For the record this Lyra is not the Lyra of popular fanon. Not quite.

You might also want to listen to this. Just because.

Applejack wakes up with a hang-over and tries to remember the events of the Great Appleloosian Moonshine Run, and all the havoc that happened during.

Set in the Xenophilia Universe.

After the defeat of Discord, Princess Celestia sends the Mane 6 on a week long vacation. A mishap with a teleportation spell, however, lands them not at their vacation destination; but on Earth. How will they cope with being in a strange place, completely cut off from everything and everyone they know? Will they ever be able to get back? Read to find out.

Not all tags are used straight away. Inspiration for this fic comes from stories such as: Xenophilia (and related offshoots) as well as others like: But, She's a Pony! (All credit for those stories go to their respective authors.)

Edit: I have started revising the current chapters to get rid of a lot of errors and make everything flow better. Re-reading will not be required as the basic ideas will not change. I will begin publishing new chapters once I'm done with this.

Characters will be added as they gain more prominence in the story
This story also incorporates elements from Xenophilia and the Lero-verse, so if you haven't read Xenophilia or any of its related side-stories, some parts may be confusing
This story also incorporates a few themes and motifs from SorcerusHorserus's Dash Academy

Follow Rainbow Dash and James Van Driessen (and friends) as they embark on the journey of a lifetime, one that will change lives, turn tradition and convention on its head, and makes one rethink what is truly possible. For Dash, this is more than just a simple foreign exchange year... the quest for friendship reaches a head, and her life will never be the same.

***As the story progresses, the subjects and situations discussed within will become more mature, and with that being said, if and when it gets to that point, appropriate cautions will be taken (such as changing the rating).

We are the pegasi in the sky, our duty:
To go where others cannot reach
To defend against what others cannot fight
To accomplish our mission when others cannot win
To exemplify the definition of a Pegasus Warrior
Forever watching over those below

The Wonderbolts Initiative. The living legacy of Commander Hurricane's recognition that the power of the pegasus tribe of ponies must show restraint, yet be forever ready to strike. We were created to preserve the ancient skills of the pegasi clans and help the knowledge of our natural flight magic grow. Tasked with guiding our fellow ponies into the future where wars are uncommon but acknowledging that capable warriors forever remain necessary. We both preserve and restrict the knowledge of what a true Pegasus Warrior can accomplish.

When you are in danger, the Wonderbolts will answer your call.

Semper Vigilantes

This is a mostly stand-alone addition to my main story, Protecting Harmony. Chapters are independent of each other. It also exists within the same verse and is completely canon to PH on all levels.

The current two chapters cover the Wonderbolts as Pegasus warriors and some of their capabilities with one battle posted.

The rest of this is notes on how this came about and some other stuff.

This all got started not long after I posted Ch 23: Make Us Proud for my main story, Protecting Harmony. In that chapter, Spitfire tells Rainbow Dash about one of her battles, which has grown to become the Battle of Spring Fawn Valley presented here. I kept going back to read that chapter after posting, but did little to no editing. After a few days, I decided to push my boundaries and do a little history building for my approach to what the Wonderbolts are and how ancient pegasi clans could have challenged the ancient unicorn kingdoms and their magic before the three tribes united to form Equestria.

What started as an early chapter in a long story is slowly growing itself into a whole new vision of an organization of elite warriors that can accomplish feats impossible for any other. They are protectors more than they are performers. The living definition of the phrase 'A pegasus to watch over me' from the core of Equestrian ideals.

I'm sure I'll add more to this at some point, but for now it's just the one fight and the Flight Magic Primer. I'll go back and made adjustments here and there when I feel the need.

If the ideas presented here with the Wonderbolts Initiative and the verse at large are to your liking and fit into your own story idea, have fun and let me know it inspired something. It is my hope that this inspires new directions in fanfiction much like Xenophilia developed the world and culture and the Winningverse version of Cloudkicker have inspired for characters. Personally, Celestia Sleeps In and the sequel Onto The Pony Planet are setting up to do much the same as far as I'm concerned. Then there are ones that follow their own path entirely. After those samples, we still have great fics like The Chase and Diaries of a Madman with entirely separate and unique worlds to explore all on their own. And that's just ones I've read.

I've come to wonder just how complex a world would appear if we had an amalgam of the most world-developing fics mixed together. I am unsure anyone could really write such a thing effectively though, if for no other reason than too many differing opinions about what that would require.
