Written by long-time fic author John Biles, ''[[My(stara's) Little Ponies: Friendship is Adventuring]]'' transports [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Equestria]] wholesale into the [[Dungeons and Dragons]] world of [[Mystara]], and it mixes in beautifully.
 
The story is told from the viewpoint of one Samus Marcus {{spoiler|and on occasion another member of the party, later on in the story}}, a typical adventurer with a penchant for [[Nice Hat|nice hats]] based on a character commonly used in the author's own campaigns over the years. We start off with Marcus and friend Ivan almost getting killed along with the rest of their party over a waterfall in the Malpheggi swamp, but are saved by the [[Main/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/The Mane Cast/Characters|Elements of Harmony]], registered Adventuring group in the employ of Princess Celestia. Turns out that they are aiming for the same goal as Marcus and Ivan.
 
There's just one small problem: Marcus used to be Eric of the Northlands, who had a history with Twilight that.... well, let's just say that if she learned who he was, she'd blow him up. And if she didn't Spike would gladly burn him alive, if her new friends didn't do the job for him.

* [[Accidental Marriage|Accidental Courtship]]: It seems like poor Eric/Marcus simply ''can'''not''' '' stay in Equestria without ''somepony'' falling for him.
* [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]: Averted with the resident Entropy Immortal Luna, and Pinkie Pie, whose Element, Laughter, is an Entropy Artifact.
* [[Amnesiac God]]: {{spoiler|Turns out, Marcus was on the path to becoming an Immortal, long ''long'' ago, but his patron immortal either abandoned him or died part-way through.}}
* [[Casual Danger Dialogue]]: When Marcus first meets Pinkie Pie, when he is the only thing keeping them plus Ivan from being washed downstream:
{{quote| "Hello, ma'am," I said. "I hope you are a great swimmer because I fear my hands <br />
are slipping and we are about to be swept towards that waterfall over there." }}
* [[Chick Magnet]]: See above. Marcus always works on currying favor (you never know when it'll be needed), and is always willing to court a lovely lady. Trouble is, [[Hilarity Ensues|pony courtship evidently has surface similarities to said currying.]]
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Marcus again. ''"Always think outside the box... Because the box is full of scorpions."''
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Marcus himself. Scardy cat? Yes. Abandon his friends due to fear? ''Hell. No.'' {{spoiler|Trope applies for the Pie family as well.}}
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: During the epilogue, Twilight is surprised to find Rainbow Dash [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E16 Read It and Weep|reading a book]]. The epilogue was posted about a month before the episode.
* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]: Poor Scootaloo, {{spoiler|all her friends are getting Cutie Marks but her. She finally got her wish though! Go Rainbow Wheel!}}
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Marcus accidentally got caught in one with Twilight in the backstory. {{spoiler|He later gets involved in a more intentional one with Rarity, using polymorph candy to avoid the [[Squick|obvious problems]]}}.
