Set in the 'Youngverse'.

As Canterlot hosts the annual Christmas day party, Celestia, Luna, Chrysalis, Sombra and Discord begin their preparations for their annual sleep over.

Towards their bedtime, Discord suggests they all stay up as late as they can in order to see Santa Claus.

After their parents say goodnight to them, they put their plan into action. But just how long can they stay awake for?

Alternative universe tag for the sake of Christmas setting over Hearth's warming.

Part of the 'When They Were Young' Series, inspired by the cover art by the awesome GiantMosquito! Go show some love.

Not being dead, isn't being alive.

Sometimes we just need a little bit of imagination to realize that. Life is a very abstract concept, as so death.

In a parallel universe, there exists an Equestria where the Princess of the Sun is not a pony, but one of the most advanced war machines ever created.

Featured on the front page! Thanks, everyone!

Check out an audio reading of this story by No One and Nobody here!

Princess Celestia was caught red handed by her sister, using tax money to purchase more sweet treats for her growing size. Luna decided it was time to take action and banished Celestia from Canterlot for a month. Pretty embarrassing to be banished by your younger sibling.

Celestia didn't want to let her little ponies see her like this. So she seeks out a place to take refuge from the mobs of newsponies and embarrassment.

Anon was teleported to Equestria accidentally by Discord. He absolutely despised ponies and didn't give two shits about any of them.

What happens when an alicorn that controls the sun shows up at his door?

Randomness and weirdness ensues.

Sex tag is for lots of suggestive things. No banging though.

An instantly regretted bet with Luna leads to Celestia doing one of the most ill-advised things it's possible for anypony to ever do, ever.

Hate mail, her overprotective sister, idiotic guards... Not to mention her impossible anger issues.... Luna definately has her hooves full!

Immortality. It's said to be the ultimate achievement. The negation of the one true hinderance to all forms of life, the binding and unifying factor that every mortal being shares. Those who are without it, wish for it. Yet those who have it... They wish it gone. For while eternal life stands as a tribute to an infinite amount of triumphs, it harbours one simple truth. Immortality isn't living forever, it's everyone you love vanishing around you.

For some this is of little concern, for they are without the bonds of friendship and affection. Why worry about the longevity of loved ones that don't exist? Others fight to keep those they care about alive, betraying all reason in the name of a struggle against the cosmic rule of entropy. Many simply retreat from sight, becoming recluse, hidden and forgotten. Yet the last archetype, they do nothing of the sort, for they have not yet exceeded their mortal lives. They are determined, free from the strife of a million year existence. These beings turn desperation into action, travesty into opportunity. Darkness, into light.

When all seems lost, all it takes is one final effort, a stand against impossible odds. And that's what guardians are best at, isn't it?

If large scale crossovers aren't really your thing then I'd advised you to read no further into this story. This is a Destiny/Halo/Mlp crossover, the lore of each universe will be changed to fit the flow of the story. Some changes may be small but many are rather large. Prior knowledge of each universe is very much recommended, although I will try my best to write it in a way that is enjoyable for everyone. As it stands this is also my first fan-fiction, so constructive criticism is not only welcome but encouraged. Any ideas regarding changes or upcoming chapters are also welcome. Thanks.

Another note, this interpretation of the Destiny universe will not take into account any of the events following on from the original game. If this causes anyone to lose interest I fully understand. Just thought I'd let you know what you're getting into.

Final note from 5 years after the original publishing of this story, I recently put this back up after a period of 2 years unpublished because I recieved requests from people wanting to read it again. I don't plan to continue this version of this story, however if in the future I find myself with more free time, I may make an attempt at rewriting it, bringing it into the modern era if you will. Until that potential day, I hope you enjoy this wild trip back to 2016.

There are no such things as bad ideas; instead, there are badly executed plans.

The young Todd McRaven knew the differences quite well.

After the death of his only brother, Todd had to learn again how to live a life, and little did he know, he would be aided by the most unlikely creature to ever cross his path.

A cloned alicorn.

We all know Shining Armor to be the hero that gets thrown around and beaten by the abnormal enemies of Equestria.

We know him to be the good guy that keeps going headstrong in a fight.

He's done it with Sombra.

He's done it with Tirek.

This new challenge, however, is going to be his most difficult one ever. He is alone and broken by the lies his friends and family have used to keep him in the dark.

Now that his loved one have brought the truth to the light, there are going to be consequences to lying about what has happened with Cadance' pregnancy.

Shining Armor is not going to understand for them. But they will understand this. . .

He is hurt.

He is angry.

He is done with his friends and family, especially Cadance.

Author Notes

Inspired by Zamairiac. Thank you by the way.

A Semi-Dark Short Story to the alternate universe of Shining Armor and Cadance having a screw-up in their marriage. And by "Screw-Up" I mean they are both in the wrong of what has put the gap in their love.

No, there is no rape or gore in this story. The twist of their conflict, however, is going to be a little messed up.

You're the newest human in Equestria, and you're the guest of honor in the castle while the Princesses figure out a way to get you back to earth. One night, while out looking at the stars, Princess Luna comes to pay you a visit. HiE Fluff One-shot.
