Equestria, having established friendships through Twilight with other nations around the world now has extensive trade networks. These budding, undefended trade routes quickly became favorite targets of pirates, looters, and state enemies looking for easy gains. When the Royal Guard went looking for a solution they found it in the far north. The robust Earth-pony tribe roaming the northernmost woods below the tundra did not disappoint, and the mares were augmented into a weapons platform- the NightMare. This story focuses on a very dedicated former NightMare I&T engineer and his favorite NightMare.

It wasn't Eric's fault he hit the alien with his truck. How was he supposed to see a dog-sized horse walking down the highway in the pouring rain? His life would've been simpler if he just left the animal like any other roadkill. But in his injured delirium, the horse spoke.

This accident soon ends with an intimate personal knowledge of just how dangerous magic can be. An ancient rises, tied to a mysterious tome the pegasus was protecting on the night of the accident. A malevolent force grows within those pages, whispering louder and louder about the cleansing flame. But without the spells inside that cursed tome, Eric's humanity will be gone forever.

He has no choice but to master the words of power contained within, before his life is turned to ashes around him

*REWRITE IN PROGRESS*

(Takes place during Season 2.)

When one mission appears to be his last, Preston Marlowe of the 222nd Army Battalion's "Bad Company" winds up in another world that is far beyond his comprehension. Separated from his squad, his troubles are far from over when he is soon thrusted into another conflict that is about to reach its breaking point. On top of that, he must learn to coexist in this new world until he can find a way back home. Can't a man ever catch a break?

Rated Teen for language and violence.

I used to be a human, but then I pissed off a wizard. Now I'm stuck in "Ponyville", in a land called "Equestria", and with no apparent way back home. I'm also pretty sure that I've just replaced somepony. I'd rather not have to answer any tricky questions, so I'm better off trying to be this unicorn whose name has been forced onto me.

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I'm not a pony.

Spartans never die, they're just missing in action. This has never been more true for Jorge-052 as, after activating the slipspace drive that was supposed to kill him, he is instead flung into a strange world where war is but a distant memory. Will the aging soldier be able to adapt to this new peaceful planet? Or will his only salvation be found in finding a way back to his own chaotic universe?

Once one of the most dangerous things to face in the entirety of the world, Liberty Prime now lies unused and unneeded in a world where freedom is taken for granted. However, this world will soon learn to be grateful for their freedom, as it is now under attack. Faced with a massive surprise invasion, Equestria now lies defenseless against the Changeling nation. The Changelings seem unstoppable, with their only threats trapped or incapacitated…

Or so they thought. Even on the cusp of victory the Changeling army has brought themselves their greatest disadvantage. Deep within the Everfree, Prime detects massive energy signatures from far away. How will a weapon of wanton destruction interact with those who have never seen the horrors of death?

We have all read the stories about a human waking up as N.M.M in the castle of the two sisters heck even I've read a bunch of them. They were always my favorite with a normal guy trying not to get blasted by rainbows for having the same body as some villain.

But never thought that could happen to me!

Now my hair is on fire, I'm most likely 6 years old and this castle I woke up in looks an awful lot like a certain one that located in the magical land of Equestria.

But that's only fiction right?

Well if there is one positive thing about this...I got to keep my hands.

I don't know what I am, but I know where I am. Equestria, magical cartoon utopia. A place that's basically a dream come true.

So why is the only thing I care about finding another drink?

No matter how long we spend apart, we never lose sight of those we treasure. This is a story of how a mare named Faust finally managed to get home after so many years of being lost in another dimension. Her efforts and motivation were simply because of her one wish, the wish to see her daughters again...
