"The humans? They were here. This history book says so."

Shortly after the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle borrows a book from the Crystal Empire's library, and it speaks of Equestria before Celestia and Luna lived among the other creatures of Equestria, when they lived just as the sun and the moon.
But the book also speaks of a species that was banished from Equestria,

the humans.

Twilight, intrigued by her new found source of knowledge of a species she has never heard of before, decides to look deeper into the study of humans.

The trees of Sweet Apple Acres are tired of being kicked by the ponies. After apple-bucking season, the trees finally snap and begin to fight back against the ponies. The clouds help.

You know, every day I try to be a normal kid. I go to school, do my homework, and hang out with my friends. I've always dreamed of having a pony as a pet. But now my room is filled with these technicolor ponies and I'm just about ready to kill myself. I've read all the damn fics about how awesome it would be to have a pony in real life, but Celestia damnit this sucks balls. Pinkie, what did I tell you about disobeying physics!

My world will never be the same, and neither will those who know that it won't. Seeing is believing. Believing is deceiving.

After a human is randomly transported into Equestria, the ponies try to figure out what to do with him.

Twilight can not find her pillow.

Twilight makes an interesting discovery about the ponies in Ponyville.

sequel to How Starlight Glimmer Actually Reformed

Starlight Glimmer is now Twilight's daughter!
But how does this effect the elements of harmony and Equestria?
First thing's first, Twilight will have to tell her parents about their sudden granddaughter. Then they're going to have to talk to both princesses about the new legal princess who happens to be an ex-villain. Hopefully her brother and sister in law will understand. Then there's Twilight's friends, the town Starlight controlled, and many problems only the elements of harmony can handle.

Sometimes she wishes she could go back to the days where she raised a young filly, Starlight...

Every time something major happens in Equestria, it's always shrugged off the pony(s) always get off easy...if they are seen as a "protagonist" or say sorry and it's a happy ending for every pony. Those seen as "bad" are given their "comeuppance".

I THINK NOT.

It's high time said actions came back to nip ponies in the bud and by George are they gonna get it!

So come one, come all, and see the trial of the century!

Oh and should you come by when this story is long, the only order in reading you start with is the prologue. After that...take your pick Burly...Burl...Be...Billy boy.

"Crystal Synergy used to be a middle-aged brony before she abruptly appeared as a young filly at the spot where lightning had struck the ground out of the clear blue sky, roughly two years before the Sonic Rainboom. She only wants to help. What could possibly go wrong?"

"I can't believe you just said that, Pinkie..."

Crystal has lived ten years with fading memories about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic canon and fanon, the first two of which were spent unable to make any but the most illegible notes as she tried to keep them separated in her head. Not helping matters is the fact that while things mostly seem to be lining up with what she thinks is canon, there is a difference between events as presented in the thirty-minute blocks of a show aimed at a younger demographic (and intended to help sell toys) and living in that setting as a real world with a dynamic history. And she's not quite sure which version of Equestria she's actually in, but things seem to be just enough like what Crystal Synergy believes to be canon that she thinks she has a fair idea of what may happen, and how to help navigate or circumvent some of the more worrying problems looming on the horizon.

A little foreknowledge couldn't hurt, right?

A little foreknowledge can prove to be a very dangerous thing indeed. Especially when you aren't sure which bits of foreknowledge are actually true. And just ignoring the foreknowledge doesn't help either, because some of it is true...

A bit of a grab bag of categories: AU and Human should be self explanatory, but Random was selected because the story fluctuates between serious and silly, adventure and slice-of-life, and black-and-white values vs. blue-and-orange values.
