Neo Somnambula, a walled city with the Equestrian desert, a refuge against the burning sun above and the swirling sands around. However, this sanctuary isn't a symbol of harmony but a city divided into corporations, the upper-class nobles and those beneath them. Sometimes in order to survive in such a city you must resort to drastic measures.

Snapshot knows this all too well, working as a prostitute at the X-Streams brothel in the Glowpulse district. Yet as long as she has her camera, she can hope for a brighter future... Even if it seems unlikely.

Neo Somnambula is a Cyberpunk/Ancient Egyptian inspired Alternate MLP Universe. It takes place in an alternate timeline where Equestria was reduced to a desert wasteland.

This story contains: Suggestive content, references to drugs, cybernetics, gangs, a "live" chat commenting on sexual content, tentacles, a red-light district, and in this AU Cadence never became an alicorn so she's a pegasus.

This story was written for the Science Fiction Contest III.

An overview of Doctor Turner’s Robotics and Soul development department within Timeline TSM. (Twilight, Sun, and Moon.)

Along with a slight overview of Timeline TSM, we will see how robotic ponies are created and placed into timelines where their fleshy counterparts do not exist.

Nightshade Valentine is one of Luna's top guards and a close friend of Celestia, he's got an amazing marefriend and a large family estate on the outskirts of Ponyville. Basically, he's living a dream for most ponies. Well, that was until Celestia contacted him to inform him that his time off was to be interrupted by a new task. Become the caretaker for some sheltered prince from Las Pegasus, this was not how he wanted to spend his break. Oh well, all he had to do was keep the prince safe until his coronation.

When Twilight ascended into an Alicorn by completing Star swirl the Bearded’s spell, Equestria started getting visitors. (Warning: This is an adaptation of Spider-Man: No Way Home. If you have not seen the movie yet, DO NOT READ THIS STORY. Watch the movie, then come back later.)

Sunny Starscout had expected a nice, relaxing camping trip with her friends when she’d left for the forest outside Maretime Bay, yet unbeknownst to her when she’d shut and locked the door to the Brighthouse behind her, she and the rest of the mane five trotted upon a collision course with destiny!

Of on-going action and adventure!

Of immense and intense super science and super excitement!

And of good ole’ fashion magic and mayhem!

After falling from the stars, the mysterious alien device that began to glare and stuck itself upon her wrist with secrets it did share would change equestria and its knowledge of the past, present, and future forever!

The world would never be the same again!

Not with its new superhero who will never stop till evil is made to pay, for she’s the raddest mare to ever save the day: Sunny 10!

Twilight Sparkle is a creature of habit. To her, perfection is found in the familiar: best friends, comfort food, and wholesome, everyday fun.

Unfortunately, even the simplest equation has unexpected perturbations. Can Twilight ever regain the lost familiarity of her daily routine?

Written for the "Here at the End of all Things" (sic) Writeoff.

"The Same" (cover art), by dragon discord, was part of the art competition and inspired by this story.

There are 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and humanity is determined to explore every one. We send probes, probes with the blueprints to reproduce human explorers upon arrival. Uninhabited worlds the galaxy over can be colonized and populated, until after many years they too can join the vast throng of interstellar civilization. But if a probe is very, very lucky, it will land on a populated world instead. Equestria is one such world.

Even so, it's far from perfect for colonization, not with an environment lethal to human life. But each probe is resourceful and armed with the greatest machine intelligence mankind has devised. If placing a human mind into a newly manufactured human body won't work, it will just have to get a little more creative.

A My Little Pony parody of Spaceballs, where the evil Dark Helmet plots to take all the fresh air from the planet equestria, and only a ragtag group of Ponies and a Dragon can stop them. Get ready for a story full of references, guest stars and ludicrous speed.
