(For the first time, I want to write something interesting……)

All I want is a place where I fit in. Where people are happy to see me and I'll always have a part to play. Is that so much to ask? HiE, Ponified, powerless alicorn

Chernobyl, Equestria's only known nuclear power plant has just exploded. The ordinary forest that was nearby has been irradiated by radiation and transformed its animals into living nightmares. 1000 years later, Twilight wants to get to the bottom of why the Everfree is the way it is.

*NOTES*
- These are the proofreaders and editors that helped me with the story:
Macho Madness, Fuzzyfurvert and Corwin Friess
- I will change character tags as I post chapters up. These tags are not definite until the final chapter for obvious reasons.

It was vexing. Discord could do anything he wanted with his absolute limitless power, literally anything. How he could achieve all that with a snap of his talons had been beyond Twilight's vast comprehension.

That is, until he explained the secret, the infinite source of his abilities. It had been the single most greatest mistake of her life, to cast open Pandora's Box and see what sights were held within, never to be buried again in blissful ignorance. This was what she had chosen for herself.

Rot.

A spin-off to the the story Rot by Mister E. I suggest reading his story for context.
I appreciate the story being shared around, commented on, liked, enjoyed, all that jazz.

Twilight Sparkle has always been frustrated with Discord. His ability to do anything, with no more effort than a snap of his claw. It shouldn't be possible. His power had to come from somewhere.
Then, one day, Twilight lets slip how she feels. Surprisingly Discord agrees to explain it to her. To give her the secret to all of his powers. If she's willing to pay the price that knowing it all will bring.

It's a horrible city filled with monsters, horrible and deadly monsters. And an unlikely duo by the name of Dustin and Rainbow Dash will have to come together if they want to get out alive and escape this hell, known as Raccoon City.

As these two try to escape... one question rings through our heroes' minds.

Why me?

Here it is, since early 2014, it's finally been set free. Honestly, this story is... something important to me, something cathartic if you will, something I needed to get done, something that I should have gotten done years ago but let my own problems with self loathing and just general disregard for shit get in the way. Regardless... here it is, I hope you all enjoy.

Apple Bloom was growing to hate school. Far from her fond memories of class with miss Cheerilee, high school was proving to be the most wearyingly senseless way to educate a youngster that she could possibly conceive of. But when peculiar dreams and even more peculiar phenomenon put Apple Bloom as far away from high school as she can be, it looks like the end of her life, not the beginning. With no hope for her future, she can only rely on the support of friends and loved ones to keep her spirits up. Then, things start to go ...awry...

There exists in any given location either an inn or bar where the locals meet at the end of a long work day and trade drinks and stories. By the ancient laws of happenstance, the same must be true for areas where the permanent population is exactly one. Now, most would assume it would default to those creatures preferred drinking area in their own house. These people have never been to the only truly lonely place in Equestria. On the border of the unending sea and the badlands there sits an Inn, with a strange bartender. If one comes seeking riches or fame, he will gladly kick you out, stating the only riches here are booze and misery. But if you come for a strong drink and an ear to listen to your problems, then you have found your home.

Rocking the featured box again. Can I get a hoorah? 2/12/19 for those curious.

Engineer and Sniper, the RED team's campers, are pretty much the best friends one might see on a battlefield full of annoying teenagers with baseball bats and pyromaniacs who don't see things as they should. Engineer covers Sniper's back with Sentries, supplies the two of them with ammo, and in return, Sniper spychecks, defends Engineer, and gets rid of enemy Snipers.
However, after an incident involving a sapper, Razorback, and malfunctioning teleporter, the two are sent to a dimension where it's all the things Sniper and Engineer dislike. Nay, the things they hate. So how will the two get back to their camping, Nopeing, and Pissing? And why are the two replacements sent by the mysterious Grey Man so...mechanical?

Please. Somebody stop me from posting these stories. Rated Teen for mild language.

Byetkul. once called Equus in the West, Earth in the East, the name means "World we all share." Humans and ponies live on the same world, with humans having a different brand of magic than ponies.

EDIT 5:20 PM MDT 3/24/2019: Popular box! Not quite Featured yet, but yes! Thank you, everyone who has read so far, and especially those of you who left votes. Thank you all so much!

This is a fic based on a dream I once had and the notes I took on it. I tried my best to iron out as much weirdness as I could and produce a properly-flowing story, since I saw the potential for a great fic in that dream. It may start out seeming like a slice of life fic, but I assure you, that time will pass, and we'll get to the adventure parts. The Self-Insert tag is just there as a precaution, as the dreamer (me) was the main character in the dream, but he has some traits I never did, both in strengths and weaknesses. More character tags will be added when other characters become relevant enough to actually be considered part of the main cast.
Special thanks to my co-author, Theboxcatgamer for assisting with this so much. This wouldn't have been possible without you. Thank you so much, man!
Additional thanks to Schattendrache and doomie-22 for the editing, proofreading, and supporting authoring (yes, I just made that term up. No, I'm not getting rid of it) you two have provided thus far. You've also been a big help!
