Are you a pony who travels?

Do you need to communicate on the go?

And do you totally lack any and all dragons in your life?

Then you need -- Slate!

Everypony does!

Unless they can think.

Which just might leave Trixie out.

As a young adult, Sebastian was having the time of his life. He had his own small group of friends, a loving family, and a clean home in a nice neighborhood.

Key-word being "had".

After the accident, he finds himself in a different time, a different place, and, most importantly, a different body.

Hey everybrony, just jumping on the bandwagon here.
Tags and characters will be added as the story progresses.
Why yes! I DO suck at descriptions!

I'm crying right now oh my god help me

In the future, we'll colonize the solar system, cure cancer, clone the human genome, and build trans-dimensional hoodies that can summon tiny talking horses from an alternate universe.

It's pretty snazzy.

There is no beginning and no ending; only hoodies and the poni poni poni that fill them.

This story is a sequel to Stardust

Times are changing for Equestria as Twilight’s return brings with it news of people and cultures from beyond the peaceful world everypony knows. Aid and volunteers are freely offered to help the besieged humans of Earth because every Equestrian knows that’s what good friends do. Unfortunately, making friends can also have the unintended consequence of making enemies.

When the monsters besieging the humans strike at Equestria with a level of brutality not seen in over a thousand years, the cry for help is sent to all the kingdoms of the world. Honored allies step forth to fulfill ancient treaties and oaths. Enemies, old and new, bury their grievances. An alliance never before seen in Equestria will be created to combat the monsters from the void.

And because of these events, a grim but welcome sibling to the XCOM project is born.

The ponies of Ponyville are typically noted to be the happiest, most well adjusted, and harmonious beings in all of Equestria. Whether this is because of their innate goodness, their close proximity to Canterlot, the continued presence of the Elements of Harmony, or just sheer happenstance, it is not uncommon for other towns to grow jealous of the pillar of perfection that the happy community appears to be.

However, whenever night falls in Ponyville, a different side of the town is exposed. Where the day is dominated by the bustling of ponies throughout the town, the night is occupied by only one being and he is something entirely different than what you would expect to find in the ‘paradise’. Bitter, cruel, rude, and sociopathic, this pony is an example of what happens when harmony fails.

Though his life had always been quiet, monotonous, and unimportant, everything changed as the walls of his sanctuary were burnt down thanks to a hapless accident. No longer hidden away from innocent eyes, Ponyville became a stage of sorts as the stallion was forced to start his life anew.

Take a moment and clear your calendar before you decide to burden yourself with entries from the diary of this stallion. Entries that detail the story of the happiest pony in all of Equestria, Ipsa Unica.

Twilight wants to lose a few pounds, but everything she's tried hasn't worked. She decides to create a potion that will increase her metabolism and help her burn off the unwanted weight. Little does she know that her potion is going to have some unexpected side-effects.

Picture by Shieltar.

Servants have their uses, no matter their form, station or handicaps. Marwolaeth Pydredd is one such servant, cursed with an infernal visage that causes any who look upon him to convulse in fear before locating the nearest set of torches and pitchforks. As such, Marwolaeth hides his body underneath layers upon layers of metal and leather, concealing all but the barest glimpse of his eyes with shining metal and sturdy chainmail. For years immemorial Marwolaeth has been guided from town to town, between planes and even into the dens of powerful creatures at the behest of his master, who lends his skills to the highest bidders.

Marwolaeth's newest charge is the peaceful land of Equestria, lent to Princess Celestia herself, in order to guard the Elements of Harmony. Not even five minutes into his new assignment is Marwolaeth asking himself why he's there. A peaceful land has no need for a hardened warrior, and he has no need for the rest such an assignment would provide. What Marwolaeth doesn't know, though, is that trouble is brewing on the horizon, and just under his nose.

This story is a sequel to Stardust

Twilight has finally returned home from the harrowing challenge that Discord set upon her, and the residents of Ponyville and the Elements especially look forward to having their dear friend returned to them.

Twilight, however, has changed. Still suffering from her injuries, almost incapable of using magic and haunted by the memories of her time on Earth, she becomes increasingly withdrawn from those who were closest to her. Will her frustration at her current state and her friends inability to understand her experiences cost her what she valued most before Discord's bet?

(Sequel to Stardust, familiarity with this is recommended!)

(Coverart commission drawn by the amazing KairaAnix!)
(Crossover with XCOM: Enemy Within, though the crossover and human elements are minimal)

Plowpony's Day- a day of peaceful rest and relaxation. Or it was, until Twilight Sparkle badly mangled a teleportation spell. It has left her with a bad case of Horn Rot, a disease that if untreated could prove fatal. What's more, the malady is advancing faster than the slow-brewing potion that cures it!

There is one swifter cure: the Beneviolet, a star-shaped flower that grows in the distant Archback Mountains, far beyond the western borders of Equestria. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity choose to undertake the long journey for the sake of their friend. Their path will wind through floes of ice, across gold-tinted plains, into distant forests glimmering with magic. They will learn much about the world beyond their homeland- and much about themselves, as well.

Yes, it's "Dangerous Business," here on FIMFiction. A huge debt is owed to all those who have supported me over the years. I've edited the story some to remove extraneous bolding and italics, but other than that, it remains unchanged. I hope new readers enjoy it as much as old ones did.
