The land has been at peace for years, but now things are stirring again. A break in at the royal archives results in the theft of the ancient Reaper's Horn, an entity is released which seeks out the surviving human, a young colt learns of the legends of humanity and becomes enraptured with them, and a brotherhood of thirteen ponies of varying ages and backgrounds all come together with the sole intention of releasing the human of legend from his stone prison.

    Author: Crimson
    Description: Who knew that agreeing to cooperate in Twilight's most advanced magic experiment would quickly turn grim for Applejack, as she finds herself in an unknown city, with no way of getting home, and none of her friends to rely on.

    It certainly doesn't help that half the city's out to get her, for seemingly no reason at all.

    In a world where earth ponies are seen as the lowest rung of ponykind, Applejack must use whatever help she can to overcome her situation. Even if the only help available comes from some of the shadiest ponies she's ever met. And why are there so many things in this foreign land that remind her of home?

    It's only a matter of time before the past catches up with her.

    [Comedy] [Dark] [Adventure]


    Author: Rust
    Description: After a deal gone awry, a human is thrust into Equestria with the body of a Diamond Dog. Eschewing the usual "Hey, I'm going to Ponyville!" shtick, he sets off on an epic around-the-world voyage of discovery, friendship, and adventure, all the time learning what it means to be one of Equestria's more frowned upon species. He struggles to overcome racial prejudices from everyday ponies as he encounters fearsome creatures, the natural wonders of the world, egotistical villains, and a wisecracking draconequus who loves obscure pop-culture references. This would all be so much easier were it not for the fact that he's mute.
