How does someone learn to be a baby again? To walk again, to play again? And how does a princess learn to be a mother-and to be imperfect?

Alex, a 21-year-old engineering student, is suddenly pulled from his world into the land of Equestria. But now, he finds himself in the body of an almost-newborn, forced to relearn everything-while his adult mind struggles to make sense of a world that doesn't follow the same rules of physics as Earth. It's not easy when your body insists on acting like an infant.

Princess Celestia, a ruler who has quietly longed to hear the word "Mom," offers to help him find a way home-if such a thing is even possible. Until then, she'll take care of him.

Determined not to burden her further, Alex plays the part of a normal foal, hiding his lingering awareness. Can he maintain the charade, or will his struggle reveal the truth? And as Celestia tends to him, will she discover that motherhood isn't about perfection?

I wrote this fanfic based on a simple question: Why are there so many stories that approach age change with something like, "Oh, I'm a kid again... good to know" and skipping almost the entire childhood and learning process?

If you're interested, follow me on a journey of learning equine biology until midnight, making sense of the magic system with physics, reading articles about motherhood, and improving my grammar skills (English is not my native language-Spanish is-so there might be some odd phrasing. If you find any, please let me know).

Reborn as an Alicorn by Seraphina0901

I was relatively normal in my last life. Teenage guy, little sister, okay parents, and a few good friends. The only thing I would say was abnormal in my last life was how much I watched My Little Pony with my sister. I wasn't really a brony, though I did learn to like the show. But I didn't want to be PART of it! After dying in my past life, I woke up as black furred and white maned alicorn with silver eyes at the beginning of season one in My Little Pony. I had the horn, the wings, EVERYTHING! I decided I wasn't going to get involved with the mane six, or any of the princesses. As the only boy alicorn, I don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of girls, especially if I have to become an alicorn prince. I don't want to be cooped up in a castle and protected like some delicate flower. I'll be fine on my own, I'll explore this new world, enjoy my freedom and new powers, and most importantly, I'll stay AWAY from any ponies I recognize from the show. Shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Quirks & Capes (An MHA x Batman Crossover) by Lespacer

[NOTE: This is a Remake of a story and crossover I had worked on almost 5 years ago, and I have decided to revive it and rewrite it with all my current knowledge and experience] When Batman stumbles upon a sinister operation involving some of Gotham's most dangerous criminals, he soon finds himself in uncharted territory-literally. Hugo Strange has devised a way to escape their world, setting his sights on a new reality where extraordinary abilities aren't the exception, but the norm. With a greater plan unfolding in the shadows, Batman and Robin (Damian Wayne) are thrust into an unfamiliar city, where heroism is institutionalized, and power is a birthright, not a choice. Now, stranded in a world where the rules are different, alliances must be made, and new enemies lurk around every corner. But the real question remains-what is Hugo Strange truly after? And if he succeeds... will Gotham, or the world of MHA for that matter, ever be the same?

Tradition's End (A Touhou Project Fanfiction) by Major_Arcanum

Alice Margatroid is a dollmaker, a magician, and a youkai. She has built a quiet life for herself within the Forest of Magic. Between her dolls, garden, and research, she has almost everything she needs right there at her fingertips. The only thing she lacks is real companionship. Eric is a café owner, a former outsider, and a human. He has made a new life for himself within the safety of the now bustling Human Village. Friendly and supportive, his ambitions are simple: Live a good life and make the people he cares about happy. Fate has a plan for these two, bound together by red thread. However, as the rains fail and the Human Village grows restless, it only takes a single spark to ignite an inferno. (An ongoing Alice x OC fanfiction that I will be transposing from my postings on FFN and AO3.) (I ended up using an ai image generator for the cover photo, and I think it turned out pretty swell!)
