In a botched attempt at creating large-scale wormholes, Twilight Sparkle finds herself in an extremely strange and hostile space.

Or rather, lack of a space. And she isn't alone.

(SCP-3001 is one of my favorites for just how depressing and disturbing it is, and I felt compelled to do something with it. SCP-3001 was written by "OZ Ouroboros". You can find the SCP itself here, and the SCP wiki here. Cover art was drawn by u/Hydronteu, which you can find here.)

(Now with a glorious audio reading by Skijaramaz/Tone Shift, which you can find here!)

The global dust storm of a century, the dying message of an indomitable robot, and a unicorn who just can’t let go of a mystery.

(Now with a dramatic reading by Skijaramaz - Tone Shift.)

By simple biological necessity, one can conclude that Scootaloo has parents. And, indeed, there is a couple in Ponyville who claim her as their own. But they adopted her long ago. The documents are in Town Hall for anypony who cares to look. So, whence came the winged Crusader?

To learn that, we must go not just to another time, but another place, for Scootaloo is as orphaned as an orphan can be.

Written for F*** THIS PROMPT! 11. Prompt: Scootaloo is an orphan.

This story is a sequel to Iron Hearts: Book 5 - Suffer Not the Alien to Live

This story is a sequel to Doctor Whooves: Invasion of Manehattan

Starlight Glimmer has succeeded, she has managed to steal one of the Star Swirl spells from the forbidden section of the Canterlot library and, after months of work studying countless tomes of arcane magic related to time, she will be able to defeat that princess of friendship and her friends before even meeting her.

All she has to do is stop the brat that was Rainbow Dash from doing the Sonic Rainboom on her. But before she does, somepony stops her and asks her a simple question, 'are you sure you want to do that?'

Princess Twilight Sparkle was a forward scout of the Equestrian Federation. Darting from star to star in the fastest vessel ever built, she was tasked with exploring the unknown. She spent every waking moment visiting new stars and planets, as she journeyed toward the galactic center.

A decade and thousands of light years into her mission, Twilight received an order to return home and refused it. She’s too committed to her quest; she has invested far too much time and hope to abandon it.

Now a fugitive for disobeying her orders, Twilight warps into a new star system. She has just moments to breathe before her pursuers catch up again. With no choice but to go onward, she takes the time to continue her exploration, before returning to her quest toward the galactic center.

A crossover based loosely off of the premise of No Man's Sky

Seeking her destiny, Flurry Heart has set off on a voyage through space... yet memories are not so easily left behind.

Written for the Imposing Sovereigns contest.

This story is a sequel to Last one out

Space! It's big. You can find things in it.

Or so is the hope, at least. Nova Flare - Twilight's best pupil, at least right this moment - has been put forward as the first pony Captain of a Hegemony science vessel and so she really is aiming to find something out there in the inky black.

She does, obviously, though what she finds comes as something of a surprise to everyone...

Fluttershy's friends might call the gentle pegasus sensitive. But they don't know the half of it.

What is she always so afraid of, anyway?

And why is SHE the one pony who can go toe-to-toe with the Avatar of Chaos himself?

(Is this an AU? If it is, it's one that resembles canon a lot.)

Once there was a monster, whose flesh was made of steel,
A pony’s magic bound her, and she was made to kneel,
She was the pony’s servant, saw her sheltered, safe, and fed,
But when the monster left, it was the pony’s heart that bled.

Takes place seven years before the events of Familiar.
