Imagine being stuck in the mind of a pony that you can't stand and is the exact opposite of you.
Now imagine having your life torn away from you, and you've just gotten it back; only to face just as many hardships as before.
And then imagine you were just told you technically shouldn't even exist.
That's my life.

This story is a sequel to Caged Inside, but is written in a way that it's not necessary to read it first.

The Accursed Alicorn Amulet. An item of great power, capable of giving any pony wearing it the power reserved only for alicorns. The power of a god among mortals. All of that, only at one price; your sanity.

Not an easy decision, isn't it? Sure, a mind is something precious and all that, but the temptation of having such a power can be too much for certain ponies. It was too much for Trixie, and she fell for it. It's a good thing that Twilight Sparkle managed to save her from a life of insanity.

But, what would happen if Trixie's sanity wasn't the only price to pay? What else could the Amulet take from Trixie?

Chapter 1's Live Reading

Dust has lived on the edge of Ponyville all her life, keeping to herself and studying. She knows Princess Twilight, and so when she realizes she's made a big discovery, she's eager to run to the castle and tell everypony the good news. But when she goes into Ponyville, they don't seem very happy to see her.

Why would that be? She didn't do anything wrong.

Ripped from home with no explanation to a place that is both incredibly strange and eerily familiar. What world he walks on, what these creatures are, why he's here. There are many things Rajrishi does not understand about Equestria. He hopes to fix that.

But mostly he just wants to go home.

Twilight Sparkle has always loved stealing things. Ever since she was little, making plans and carrying them out with something of a payday. Now, she feels that she's ready for the BIG ONE! But even she, with ridiculously elaborate plans, can't do this alone. So now she must, with Spike's help, find the Five. The five mares who have become legends in their field. Which is good because Twilight needs to best of the best if this is going to work.

Author's Note: There is some lore to this alternate universe you should know. First off, Celestia and Luna are legends bordering on myth. Think of them as King Arthur, there was a king named Arthur but some of his feats may have been a hyperbole. The country is run by council by three (corrupt I should add) head ponies and one delagate from each of the towns across Equestria. Second, Twilight and Shining Armor are orphans. He still joined the royal guard. And lastly, this takes place in a semi-modernized Equestria. Please criticize below and hope you enjoy the ride!

A strange creature wakes up in the middle of a strange land. In a thousand other worlds something similar has happened to a thousand other characters. There's just one problem; he's not from Earth. And he's not entirely human.

His home is a primative land ravaged by war, a far cry from the peaceful realm of Equestria. How will he react to a world full of sapient ponies? More importantly, how will they react to him?

Because, if it will take him, Equestria might just be the fresh start he's been looking for.

Takes place between Seasons 2 and 3.

I was just hoping to get this last job done, always getting sent to this dimension or that, always doing the interests of others. Unfortunately, everyone's luck eventually runs out, and it looks like mine has ran out as well. Now somehow I got stuck in this place, in a foreign body, and things just keeps getting worse for me. What did I do to deserve this?

Tony Stark had everything he wanted in his life. He had his company. He had a carefree life where he could simply enjoy himself and tinker with whatever came to mind...and he was a super hero to boot! He couldn't imagine ever being happier.

And then a rainbow-maned Pegasus foal dropped into his life, and turned it upside down.

Lucky for Tony Stark that the multiverse is much more imaginative than he is.

Part of the PWNY-verse.

Will freely mix several different Iron Man continuities based on what makes the story work best.

Twilight Sparkle is tired. Tired of spending every other month saving Equestria. Tired of being the bearer of the Element of Magic. Tired of having no romantic prospects. She's tired of dealing with the politics that comes from being the Dean of Magic at Princess Luna's university. And most of all she's tired of being at a dead end in her life. Some days, she just wanted to wake up, and not have to deal with any of those things.

Sometimes ponies get their wishes in the most unexpected ways.

[Reboot of The Trouble with Time Travel]

This story is a sequel to Chaos' Intervention.

'She was supposed to die! The lightning and fire we sent should have killed her! Why didn't she DIE?!?' the Spirits of Harmony panicked, their testee having escaped.

"Well, Spirits," Batman began, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain," he paused, switching flash-cards to his next statement, "Twilight is about to start living by the classic phrase 'if you knew then, what you knew now, what would you do differently?' and she's going to do a lot of things differently" the dark knight explained, before gliding away with his cape.

For 3 years, Twilight Sparkle has been being watched, and the past 3 years have happened to her over and over again, literally 100 times.

Luckily, Twilight had been inching towards an escape from this nightmarish circle, and after 300 years of testing and failing, she had awoken.

Now she will become Twilight 'The Most Dangerously-Genre-Savvy Mare in Equestria' Sparkle, with the future laid out in front of her, she's going to do things differently.

She's going to do things right, and wrong, she'll be a beacon of power, the likes of which have never been seen before.
