It's the day of the Royal Christmas Parade. Celestia and Luna are excited. It'll be the first one they've done together in years. They can't wait. Especially Luna. Most of all, Luna.

Kaine, The Spider-Mane of Equestria, has finally hit his twenty year mark. Realizing that he can't keep up with the 21st century, Kaine goes out to give somepony else, the mantle of The Spider, but this pony will have to learn the hard way of being a hero, in order to be the greatest hero.

Running a spa isn't easy. Lotus Blossom is expected to lower the stress levels of an entire town on demand, with nopony ever thinking about what those demands might be doing to her. Keeping the La-Ti-Da Spa functional, calming, and more or less in one piece means paying attention to the small details. Birds in the dryer vent counts as a small detail. But at least that's just a minor problem.

Or not.

One thousand years ago, the Princesses Celestia and Luna were blindsided by the return of the Masters of Equus. The cult of power-mad alicorns, thought to have been banished from Equestria forever, appeared in the middle of the Princesses' battle for supremacy, and caged them away. The rest of Equestria quickly fell to their might. Even the fearsome Discord was forced to his knees before them. All of Equestria was enslaved, and an era of misery began.

Now, one thousand years later, a lone unicorn mare has learned of a creature that might be able to overthrow the Masters. A creature immune to magic, overwhelming in size and strength, sealed away for centuries uncounted. A creature of ultimate evil: the Smooze.

Unfortunately for Starlight Glimmer, in trying to ensure the creature's obedience, she modified the summoning ritual a bit too far.

Because of her meddling, the soul of a recently-deceased human is pulled from Limbo, and given life, but not exactly a body. Now he has to help her save the world, or face obliteration.

Not much of a choice, is it?

Inspired by Pen Mightier and Bucking Nonsense, the legends who – to my knowledge – popularized the "human in villain's body becomes Equestria's savior" genre. May your inkwells never run dry.

Ever since Bats! On a full moon everynight Fluttershy turns into a bat pony. She's kept it secret for years but one day it just blows, what does she do now? Twilight is also torn when the spell didn't work and is overloading herself with research on how to fix her mistakes and AppleJack regrets everything in the episode of Bats!

Meanwhile, Starlight Glimmer saves up her bits to bring Trixie Lulamoon out to Manehatten for a fancy hotel stay, also deciding to ask her a really important question. {Chapters are in no chronological order, read whichever one you want first}

If this all sounds dry and dusty I suppose you could easily click away and find quite another story to read. There are hundred of thousands from which to choose, after all.
