When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*

Applejack's life is turned upside-down after she suddenly inherits the full powers of a goddess. She insists that it isn't a big deal and that she's the same pony as always, just bigger. Meanwhile, everypony else starts making demands on her and placing expectations on the 'new princess'. When the constant stream of petitions and gawkers starts interfering with farm work, Applejack reacts a bit strongly. Luna, fearing the worst, is determined to rescue Applejack from corruption, further irritating the farm pony. Will Applejack accept her destiny, or is destiny what you make of it?

Dusk Shine has dealt with many trails throughout his life. From clashing with Nightterror Nebula to outwitting the mischievous Eris to thwarting King Nymphamos’s invasion, he'd seen it all.

All in all, Dusk Shine would admit that life was hardly easy. And now, Dusk finds that his mentor's self loathing is the least of his problems as he finds himself thrust into a world where he and his friend... are mares?

Twilight is an intelligent mare, and always has something to say. But when a group of bizarre creatures shows up at her library offering life long service and devotion, for once she's at a loss for words. Which is too bad, because she'd really love to ask: what's a human and why are they so weird?

The griffons have launched an unprovoked attack against Equestria, but Twilight doesn't care about that. All she cares about is Rainbow Dash going to war.

The star system Omega Centauri was just another oddity on a map to scientists in the not too distant future. However when they found the star was orbiting an earth-sized, earth-like planet instead of a black hole as its motion had suggested, a mission was scrambled to investigate this most unusual of celestial behaviors.

Hamstrung by politics, and nearly crippled before it began, the 'Lone Ranger' mission was reduced to just one crew member and left to his own devices.

These are the logs of Arrow 18 and its lone commander. This information is classified TOP SECRET by the Global Space Agency.

Do NOT tell the princess.

After surviving the dreaded Order 66, Jedi knight Joseph Malek has a near-death experience, in which he visits the most powerful being in existence. The strange being tells him of a future visit to its world before sending him back to his own existence. Twenty years later, while on a mission for the Rebellion, Malek accidentally stumbles upon a secret new world when his ship is damaged. The world’s Ruler, Princess Celestia, welcomes him and offers to aid in his ship's repairs. While there, Malek averts disaster when he stops a mutiny with the help of the planet’s inhabitants.

Now he must keep the world’s existence a secret when he travels back to his own dimension, which is rather hard when one if its people decides to sneak back with him.

Everyone's favorite musical pairing is back in another fanfic! Octavia and Vinyl are now room-mates, and are like any other couple...but how will they react when they discover there's another about to show up?

Princess Celestia, the fair ruler of all Equestria, has fallen under the control of a dark force, and has begun a rule of tyranny over her subjects. Using her powerful magic, whatever it is controlling Celestia has enslaved most of Equestria, turning once-upstanding Royal Guards into dark enforcers of her reign.

Not even the Elements of Harmony can stand up to this overwhelming power alone. It falls upon Celestia's own sister, the Princess of the Moon, Luna, to stop her sister once and for all. A lonely adventure to obtain three powerful relics to aid in her quest is in store, and Luna must come to terms with betrayal, combat, and her own feelings as both a princess and a sister.

War comes to Equestria: with despair, with starvation, with suffering and with sacrifice. And the ponies must learn how to keep true to their values while surviving not just the rigors of battle, but the desolation of total war.
