A new shop opens up in Ponyville that sells a hot new product that will give you dreams. Ash a hot shot alchemist and his draconequus assistant Pepper give them the dreams they always wanted, for a price of course.

Ash a recent graduate of the School for Gifted Unicorns follows his dreams of opening his own shop. Baring the talent of magic itself, it was only right that he be judge by high standards that came with it. How will things fare when he finally meets the unicorn he had been compared to his entire life, while constantly falling short being judged as ‘Second Best’.

Pepper loves her father, Ash whom hatched her. Now that she is finally free of the rigorous duties of being his assistant. She wanted nothing more than to go to school for herself. Her goal? To learn, have fun and above all else: make some friends.

Being a creature of chaos though has its draw backs, especially when she meets a certain red stallion that catches her eye.

Welcome to Equestria, land of love, tolerance, friendship, and. . . mind control? You'd never know by looking at them, but these ponies have all kinds of ways, both magical and mundane, to royally mess with your brain.
Why would they want to, you may ask? Well, that depends on the pony. Some just want hugs. Others want to know things that maybe you don't want them to. Some even want things that could only be called evil. The question is, can you refuse?

So, generally speaking this shouldn't be taken too seriously. I began this as a fun way to blow off creative steam, and don't really know where I'm going from here. Updates will probably be sporadic as I don't generally know when I'm going to have time to write. That said, if you have something you'd like to see, feel free to put it in the comments, and if nothing else I promise I'll give it a look-see.
Since everything's still pretty up in the air, I'm willing to consider making this a collab. Let me know with any interest/ideas to that end.

Each of these stories will be it's own self-contained tale, and unless otherwise stated will have nothing to do with the others. There will NOT be any clop in this story. (Though I'm tentatively thinking about writing a companion story for that. . .)

Finally, WARNING: Will contain Mind Control (mostly hypnosis), humans, and self-insert. If you take issue with any of those things, no one's making you read it. This is very much a niche story, so if it's not your niche feel free to move on, but PLEASE don't hit the thumbs down for that reason. If you have a problem with it, help me become a better writer by letting me know what it is.

Am I still me?
In the mirror I can only see the face of the stranger. Whoever I met never saw the real me, all they could see was someone even I didn't know.

Am I still human?
Spreading my wings, I can soar through the sky like a bird, with just one thought I will turn my body into beautiful snow that will never melt. They told me that it was a gift, but I thought different, because each snowflake is my unshed tear.

Am I still alive?
This place is like a dream, but I still can't say if it is a an actual Dream or Nightmare. Unicorns and Pegasi, Magic and actual Divine Monarchs, I'm not sure anymore what is real and what is not.

If this is Hell, then I will break the Chains.
My sorrow is what makes me cry, my longing for home is what makes me shed these tears, I don't know how much longer I will be able to hold myself together.

If this is Heavens, then I will tear the Gates wide open.
Peace and Harmony, are what rules this place, Princess of the Sun and Princess of the Moon are thous who watch over this Kingdom. But this place is not my home, and never will be.

I will find my way Home.
Because, home is where the heart is.

Awesome song (not by me) that I've been listening to while writing the fic and may as well be the theme song: Constellations - Aviators

Douglas came through the mirror portal to Equestria from a war-torn world, beaten and left for dead. Taking sympathy on him, Celestia allows him to live and work in Equestria. Douglas settles into his new life easily, but he receives a chilly reception both from his coworkers and the residents of Canterlot, despite his favor with the alicorn sisters.

In a bid to increase funding for the Crystal Empire, Celestia and Luna offer Douglas a transfer opportunity to the crystal city. Eager to escape, Douglas accepts the offer and comes into the care of Prince D'Amore Temporus and his Captain of the Guard, Gleaming Shield. But something appears off about the prince of the Crystal Empire, especially when he starts taking an interest in Douglas.

A not so standard human-in-Equestria story including but not limited to: democracy, tequila, and robots.

Things escalate from there.

Stop me if you've heard this one. A depressed/angry loner goes to a costume party dressed as a movie villain and gets sucked into Equestria. Once there, he/she finds that they now have the powers and abilities of the character they were cosplaying as, and proceed to go on a violent rampage and attempt to conquer the land. Well, this story has a slight twist. See, I'm not a bad guy, just a little lonely. And the character that I decided to portray? Why, Captain America of course.

This story is a sequel to To Befriend the Night

A journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step, sure, but the remaining steps are no less difficult. You are merely more determined to survive them.

A deed which, like all others, is much better endured in good company.

Coverart once again done by jjames10 (or Tome Turner).

Cadence is the most popular girl in school. Shining isn't really popular at all. But when Cadence shows an interest in watching his sister, their worlds collide and suddenly they realize they aren't so different after all -with Twilight stuck in the middle of it.
