Author's Note:
Over the past few months I've gone through several phases of interest, first KPop Demon Hunters, then Pure Sci-Fi and finally back to My Little Pony.
I mean, I came back with a bang, all starting with a fanfiction about a human astronaut who ends up in Ponyville.
I now find myself somewhere between My Little Pony and Kamen Rider, both in the fanfiction world and the streaming world.
Now, I have a lot of My Little Pony crossover ideas in my head.
[If you're not interested in hearing my ramblings, you can skip this part and continue with the story.]
1) An alien witch princess from a space kingdom of 500 worlds discovers the pony planet, Equus. First contact occurs between two very different civilizations.
2) A transfer student arrives at Canterlot High School and encounters the Rainbooms. The student has the Omnitrix (Ben 10) and the Omega-1 Nanite (Generator Rex). Many alien accidents are about to happen in the city.
3) Alternate Universe. Sunset Shimmer, due to her bad-girl behavior, gets a bullet in the head, falls into a coma, and miraculously wakes up. But the person inhabiting her body isn't Sunset, but someone else from our world. This person, in addition to Sunset Shimmer's human body, receives a wealth of knowledge centered around Kamen Riders, which is a good thing, because Kaijin are about to appear in this world.
I'm a messed up person and I have some slightly weirder ideas.
[Happy reading]

Story Arc: Rebuilding a Ruined Empire
Episode 1: A New King (I)
Chapter 1: Over the Hill
Plot: A Knight journeys aimlessly across the frozen tundra, finding civilization still a distant dream. But the Fairy accompanying him shows him the right path and he finds a crystal city.

POV Narrator
Far away from Equestria, towards the far north lies the Great Freeze, the name for a vast region where snowstorms and icy cold have the first and last word on who lives and dies.
In an endless expanse of white snow and icy winds that carry the biting cold deep into the bones, there is an unusual quartet.
A knight, a horse, a sword and a fairy.
The Knight is a two-meter-tall man, encased in imposing dark gold armor, with dark red linings and brighter gold decorations, giving him a formidable and menacing presence.
The armor also features sharp edges, such as the pauldrons, gauntlets, faulds, sabatons, and poleyns, each adorned with detailed engravings, along with a pink gem on the chest.
The helmet covers his entire head, topped with a crown-like structure lined with three pink gems, leaving only slits for his eyes that glow a bright yellow.
He also wears a long, dark red cloak that falls from his shoulders, adorned with details that glow pink, which makes his appearance majestic and menacing.
The Knight rides on a huge horse covered in armor matching his master's. Some from afar might mistake the two of them for a strange centaur.
To the knight's left is a transparent projection of a woman that only he and his sword can see and hear.
The Fairy is a beautiful woman, 170 centimeters tall, and despite being 6,000 years old, she looks like she's only twenty.
She has white hair, blue eyes and wears a skimpy black and blue dress.
Her hair is silvery, almost luminescent, and falls straight down her back, framing her face with blunt bangs that highlight her piercing blue eyes and pale complexion.
She wears a complex, layered gown that blends high fantasy with gothic couture.
The dress has a high black collar reminiscent of a gorget and an elegant bodice decorated with intricate patterns, giving it an armored appearance.
This bodice extends into a deep neckline, edged with striking blue accents that mirror the color of her eyes. The dress's sleeves are detached, flowing from the shoulders and draping elegantly down the arms, with sheer, wing-like extensions.
The skirt is long and slit, revealing the front of her legs, and opens into a train behind her.
The dress's color palette transitions from the intricate black and blues of the bodice to the stark white of the skirt.
The hem of the dress is decorated with darker, feather-like details, which reinforce the bird-shaped motif suggested by the sleeves.
This Fairy's name is Morgana Le Fay.
To the right of the knight is a floating sword.
Caliburn is a longsword with a double-edged silver blade and a lighter edge.
Its guard is a golden circle with two small golden protuberances or "wings" on either side of a golden cross-guard set back with spikes, with a red semicircle at the bottom curved as a golden ornament (which can move downwards to reveal the mouth and two stern, seafoam-green eyes).
The ornament itself is located under the semicircular red part of the guard, while the Caliburn's grip is white and thin, with a gold-decorated top and a pointed pommel.
They're certainly an interesting quartet, if you count the hellhorse, but at least they share the same Medieval Fantasy theme.
"Morgana, Caliburn, do you have any idea which direction we should go? Left, towards the snow? Right, towards more snow? Or do we keep going straight forward, where there's more snow?" the armored Knight asks sarcastically, seeing nothing but snow around.
"Knight, if you wish to be worthy of the armor you wear, you must improve your sense of humor." Caliburn said, turning to the Knight.
"Why, of all the magical swords I could have received from fate, do I get the talking sword that can't transform into anything and thinks it's a critic?" the Knight mutters, wishing for a very different kind of sword.
Most likely the Knight's ideal sword type is something like Pyra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 or Judecca from Trinity Seven.
"Are you done with the melodrama, Knave, or do you wish me to find you some heels and a lady's dress?" Caliburn asks in a joking voice, regarding the Knight's complaints as more feminine than masculine.
The Knight remains silent, preferring not to argue with the talking sword. Unfortunately, his silence was misinterpreted by the Fairy.
"Husband, I have no problem with you having this bizarre pastime." Morgana said in a delicate tone, believing that the Knight might be a secret transvestite or something.
The talking sword holds back laughter, wanting to maintain a certain decorum.
The Knight remains silent, slowly turns towards the white-haired Fairy, seeing in her eyes only sincerity and (crazy) love.
Letting out a long sigh, the Knight raises his head towards the cloudy sky, as if he were speaking to the entire world or to fate itself.
"All I wanted was to use my Christmas vacation to go to Los Angeles and lie on the warm beach in the company of beautiful women in bikinis," said the Knight, expressing his wishes for Christmas.
"Instead, I find myself in the middle of the North Pole, astride a horse, clad in armor I can't take off." The Knight said, placing a hand on the chest of the armor, gripping it as if it were prison bars.
"What did I do to deserve this?" the Knight asks the sky, hoping for an answer or a sign.
But the sky remained motionless at the Knight's words, giving the impression that he was a madman shouting to the sky and nothing more.
"Husband, what did you just say? You wanted to be in the company of other women!?" asks Morgana Le Fay, her tone promising pain.
The Fairy's blue eyes no longer show sincerity or (crazy) love, they are a kind of anger and possessive feeling that only a woman can create.
Caliburn decides this is a perfect time to turn around and look out at the winter landscape.
"The only woman in my life who's interested in me is a Yandere, well, better than dying alone and a virgin," the Knight thinks, feeling a slight pain on his left forearm, as if someone with sharp nails were holding him tightly.
Under his helmet the Knight bites his cheek, the sensation of pain he feels is nothing new to him.
Whenever he makes a wrong move with Morgana around, she "punishes" him.
"I was speaking of the desires of my past self. Now that I have met you, you will be the only woman in my life." The Knight replies in his most sincere voice, even if there is a subtle note of pain and fear.
The man inside the armor has always been unlucky with women, having never gotten more than a single date in a coffee shop.
So the idea of being chained to a beautiful woman like Morgana Le Fay isn't a bad thing from his point of view.
The only thing that worries him is not to make her angry, not wanting to see what an argument with a woman who is literally a witch would be like.
"Remember your new golden rule for living a long and happy life: never talk about other women if Morgana is around." The Knight thinks, repeating this new survival rule over and over again.
"I like having a husband who only has eyes for me. I don't know what I would do if you, my husband, were looking at another woman," Morgana Le Fay said, smiling gently as she made a subtle threat.
"If she ever sees my internet history, I'll be worse than dead. Why does Artoria Pendragon - Lancer have to be so popular?" the Knight thinks, vowing to keep the Fairy from ever getting near a computer.
Morgana Le Fay's transparent projection began to become clearer and clearer, as if it were about to disappear completely.
The Fairy, noticing what was happening, grimaced, not being able to bear certain limitations of her current situation.
"Husband, I cannot remain with you much longer." Morgana Le Fay said, her legs becoming a mass of glittering dust that was sucked into the knight's left arm.
'A great shame,' thinks the Knight with an ironic tone.
"Before I do that, I have something important to tell you. If you don't want to wander into the tundra, you need to keep going. I can sense a powerful magical signature in the distance." Morgana Le Fay declares, half-disappeared, pointing with her hand in a specific direction.
The Knight turns in the direction Morgana indicated, winking and unconsciously using a little magic, he manages to see a hill.
"I have to thank you, Morgana. We've been wandering aimlessly for days. I'm tired of riding all day, facing strange, white-furred beasts, and sleeping in igloos or caves." The Knight said, his voice filled with relief.
The last few days have not been easy for the Knight who is accustomed to a completely different lifestyle.
"If anything happens, call me, don't be afraid to bother me, after all, we will be together forever." Morgana Le Fay said before disappearing, her last words less like a promise and more like a statement of fact.
The Knight, now with only his horse and sword for company, takes a moment to reflect on Morgana Le Fay's words.
"Morgana and I are chained like Kurama and Naruto, the words 'together until death do us part' have never been truer. Worse, Morgana Le Fay's existence proves that the Throne of Heroes is a real thing. I could end up spending eternity with Morgan Le Fay, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, remains to be seen." The Knight thinks, placing a hand over his helmet, feeling a slight headache approaching.
"If you can make it to the wedding in one piece and make that witch an honest woman, you will be without a doubt the greatest knight of all time," Caliburn declares, having seen no more unusual "arranged marriage."
"Caliburn, I agree with you, keeping this strange marriage of mine happy will be a feat in itself." said the Knight, not knowing what Morgana might do if another woman approached him.
The talking sword, seeing that his Knight (still unworthy of being called that in his opinion) is slightly upset, decides to give him a word of encouragement.
"Look at the bright side, Knave. A girl has given you her heart, not many men have such luck." Caliburn said, not knowing much about love.
"This woman is Morgana Le Fay, aka Winter Queen of Faerie Britain," the Knight declares, as if this name and title were enough to nullify the good of a beautiful woman madly in love with him.
"At least, she's certainly better than the witch I knew," Caliburn said, much preferring this Morgana Le Fay to the witch from his homeland.
"I agree that Morgana Le Fay is definitely the most beautiful and powerful woman I've ever seen in my life, but the Yandere traits are frightening." The Knight said, having no problem trying to make this marriage authentic if only Morgana Le Fay were less possessive.
"Fante, what does Yandere mean?" Caliburn asks, genuinely curious.
It's no surprise that a magical sword from a medieval fantasy world doesn't know what the word Yandere means.
"To put it simply, Yandere means a woman who is mad with love and will kill or worse for the sake of her love, often at the cost of others." The Knight said, not wanting to delve further into the matter.
"Infantryman, if we keep talking we're not going to get anywhere," Caliburn said, believing it was time to get back on the march.
"Tornado the break is over." said the Knight, stroking his Hell Horse's head.
"Knight, lead the way." Caliburn said, pointing his blade toward a patch of snow so deep it could drown a grown man.
"With pleasure, Caliburn." said the Knight, with a happy note in his voice, enjoying doing this task.
The Knight extends his left arm forward, a blue glow appears around it, as if it were magical.
"Calm your mind, visualize the outcome you desire, and make it a reality." Recite the Knight softly, focusing on what you want to do.
The surrounding snow is affected by the power of the knight's left arm, a section of the snow field becomes the beginning of a straight road of pure ice.
"You're getting better." Caliburn said, noting a clear improvement in the Footman's skills.
"As for the visualization and imagining part, it's easy for me. I've always dreamed of having a magical left arm." said the Knight, as he grasped the reins with his left hand.
The blue glow from the arm appears on the hellhorse's hooves, beginning to create ice around itself.
"Before I started this crazy adventure, I would have preferred a magical eye like the Sharingan, the Rikugan (Six Eyes), or the Mystic Eyes of Petrification. But I have obtained this magical arm, [Black Hand - Black Crown], and I do not want to be separated from it, not just because it is attached to me." said the Knight, while grasping Caliburn by the hilt.
The hellhorse stands on two legs and neighs, as the Knight raises Caliburn towards the sky.
Clearly, some people watched too many movies and cartoons as a child.
"Let's go to Santa's secret lair!" the Knight exclaims in a serious voice, as the hellish horse surges forward, galloping down the icy road that lengthens with every beat of its hooves.
"Half the words you use sound like meaningless spells to me," Caliburn comments, occasionally having difficulty understanding his Knave.
"Who is this Santa Claus?" asks Caliburn, able to speak easily while being wielded like a real sword.
"A kind-hearted old man, dressed in red and white, who lives in the middle of an icy wasteland, owns a toy factory, and flies through the sky in a sleigh pulled by reindeer." The Knight explains, turning his attention to riding the infernal horse and chatting with Caliburn.
"He vaguely reminds me of Merlin. But what do you think you'll find this Santa Claus here?" asks Caliburn, wanting to know how the Knave's little head works.
"Just a simple childhood wish that I hope will come true." said the Knight as the hill slowly becomes more and more visible.

After a little over an hour of riding, the Knight reached the top of the hill, able to see what lay on the other side.
"This is not Santa's toy factory," the Knight mutters in a disappointed voice.
The childhood dream of traveling to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus and save Christmas remains an impossible dream.
"Knave, forget about some magic dad's toys, we have an entire crystal city before us!" Caliburn exclaims, thrilled at what he's seeing.
Down there, in the middle of the valley, was a city made entirely of crystal, built in the shape of a star, with a huge palace standing proudly right in the center of the star.
The city's numerous crystallized towers shimmer and sparkle brightly, even in the absence of the actual sun, as the entire sky above the city was nothing but a swirl of clouds.
"I'll be serious and mature, and I admit that finding the wintry, crystallized version of the Emerald City of Oz is better than finding Santa's Atelier," said the Knight, admiring the view.
"Hopefully we can find a blacksmith my blade needs sharpening." Caliburn said, wishing he could get the equivalent of a sword manicure.
"I want to find an inn that offers me a nice juicy steak and a soft bed, I want nothing more," said the Knight, wanting very little at the moment.
"Knave, let's go see what this crystal city has to offer." Caliburn said, excited to explore this new place.
Not only is the Knight tired of seeing only snow around him.
"I completely agree," the Knight replies, leading the hellish horse towards the city.
He who holds the heart of the Witch Queen and wields the legendary Caliburn is completely unaware that by crossing the border of the Crystal City, his fate will become intertwined with it.
The path of a king is full of pitfalls and obstacles.
