{{quote|''"I am going to die. And without a hat!"''|Samus Marcus, [[Lovable Coward|Our hero Fillies and Gentlecolts]].}}
Written by long-time fic author John Biles, ''[[My(stara's) Little Ponies: Friendship is Adventuring]]'' transports [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
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 [[
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.

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
* [[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]]}}.
