First Saddle Arabria then Prance now we've lost contact with all the major towns and cities here in Equestria. We've even lost the Elements to this...thing. It has killed everything in it's path, now it's at the doorstep to the castle. My sister and I are trapped in these halls having to hear the only thing my people have heard before their deaths, a choirs of voices singing. Always ending with the same repeated words before they died. "He's coming...he's coming...he's coming..."

(Just a little something I wanted to make in spirit for the Fouth of July. I hope you enjoy)

It was a night like any other in Ponyville. It was, until a shooting star turned into a burning streak that roared overhead before crashing off into the distance. At first it looked like a meteor. But then it had turned, quite sharply, and flattened its trajectory, sailing uncomfortably close to the treetops.

Twilight Sparkle had dismissed the idea of visitors from beyond the stars as pure fantasy, the type of pulp novel that Rainbow Dash seemed to enjoy. Now it was a frightening possibility, and now nothing could ever be the same.

Unbeknownst to her, the accidental visitors to Equestria are just as frightened. Laws of physics that had long been understood and mastered have broken down, leaving them trapped and sitting on a possible ticking time bomb on this strange fantasia of an alien world. As utopias collide, both are faced with an event outside all comprehension, events which civilizations rarely encounter more than once, and generally the same way as a sentence encounters a full stop.

A crossover with The Culture series by the late Iain M. Banks.

Can you engineer an eclipse to order? You can if you know the right princess and ask nicely.

A Fallen London/Sunless Sea crossover

Twilight wished to know the secrets written on the wall so the bats took her someplace she could. A city of a thousand stories by a dark sea where secrets are cheap and souls cheaper. Now all she wants to do is go home, but what is the price she'll have to pay? What madness will she face in her quest to find her way back home. Even if it means losing herself to the madness of the Neath.

Haycartes was one of the greatest equine intellectuals of all time, having made outstanding contributions to geometry, algebra, optics, as well as magic. He is regarded as the Father of Modern Philosophy. Yet, these days, many ponies do not even recognise his name.

Twilight Sparkle and Moondancer set out to educate their friends. Using the Haycartes Method of course.

A crossover with Descartes' Discourse on the Method.

Rainbow Dash is stuck in a rut.

Her longer stories, while well-received, aren't giving her the attention she craves.

Then, the verve hits her.

The rest is history.

Princess Twilight Sparkle was flying with Rainbow Dash when she gets stuck in the sky.

...and this fic is the fic that pierced Twilight's Library on 7/20/2014!

Tired of doing the same thing every day, Nurse Redheart finally decides to quit her job. However, she is requested to take care of one last patient. Soon, Redheart will learn that a new day isn't always like the last one. Redheart will learn that Tomorrow Never Knows.

The Great Freeze. Was it our hubris in controlling the sun, or was it that others started to covet that control? At this point, the whos and the whys don’t change anything. Our star is dying, and those responsible for it are long dead. Their causes and motives, lost to all but a few.

For the past hundred years, our sun has been growing dimmer, kept alive only by Celestia’s constant efforts. But not even she nor the legion of magi and scientists can stop the inevitable.

Our only choice is to flee to a new world, one that could give our doomed species a second chance. The Seeding colony ship is that chance. There are so many worth saving, and yet so very few seats.

May our children never forget the sacrifice of those we leave behind.

~Excerpt from Princess Twilight Sparkle’s journal three days before Seeding.

While this fic will borrow heavily from Beyond Earth, it will be written so that you do not have to know anything about BE to enjoy the story.

PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE: DEAD AT 18

TELEPORTATION INVARIABLY FATAL, WARNS LEADING SCHOLAR

One look at the headline of the Canterlot Times and Twilight knew that she should have slept in today. But at least none of her friends would be silly enough to believe she was killing herself every time she teleported, right?
