Order-naries

"Order-naries" is a series of fan-fictions written by "C. Theron Vulpin" and can be found on Equestria Daily and fanfiction.net. The series currently consists of three stories, not counting a pair of spin-offs and an aborted fourth main-series story.

Plot
Order-naries recounts the adventures of a quartet of humans transported to Equestria and transformed into ponies as they pursue a demon known as Tau'rin and seven magic gemstones with the power to destroy entire universes. The story opens with the final confrontation in a previous universe, the thirteenth one since the chase began in the Order-naries's home universe. When the battle ends in Tau'rin's favor, the combatants are flung into Equestria and the Gems scatter across the country. The Order-naries are discovered unconscious in Fluttershy's yard by Twilight Sparkle, who was investigating the source of a large emerald that had impacted just outside the Carousel Boutique. After they awaken and take stock of their situation, the Order-naries embark on a multi-day search for the Gems, joined by Twilight and various other members of the Mane 6, before heading to Canterlot to liberate it from Tau'rin's control and destroy the demon once and for all.

Z'nai
Following the end of Tau'rin and the Gems, the Order-naries begin to settle into new lives in Canterlot. Ashen Blaze and Gale devote themselves to studying magic and its application into technology while Soul Mage and Gold Heart consider joining the Royal Guard. A short visit to Ponyville is cut even shorter when it's discovered that Ash and Gale's research has unwittingly unleashed a swarm of evil spirits capable of possessing anything containing magic- including unicorns and alicorns.

Vacation
While Luna drags Heart and Soul along on an impromptu vacation in Manehatten, ultimately meeting the Great and Powerful Trixie and temporarily joining her show, Ash, Gale, Twilight, and Rarity are tasked with unraveling the mystery behind Celestia's sudden inability to correctly organize the night sky.

Ashen Blaze
An ash-grey unicorn with a red and orange mane and tail that resembles flame. Claims a magical gift to rival Twilight's, but is forced to exercise it through unorthodox (for Equestria) means that noticeably limits him. Generally a cold, stoic individual carrying far too much guilt over his past and a blunt disregard for authority figures. He has a grudging respect for the Princesses's powers over the sky, but little more.

Soul Mage
A golden-yellow unicorn with a brown mane and tail. His special talent is spirit control, and his magic manifests as an ethereal blue tendril extending from his horn rather than the typical glowing aura. His skills, and those of his sister, tend towards the combative, making him best suited for a career in the Guard. He's an easy-going fellow with a dry wit and a ready supply of one-liners and deadpan observations.

Gold Heart
A golden-yellow pegasus with a brown mane and tail. Technically she is Soul's twin sister, but the powers-that-be saw fit to change them into different pony breeds when they came to Equestria. The two can link their spirits to increase Soul's power and grant Heart the ability to create a devastating disk of energy dubbed the "Element Wheel." She tries to be aware of how others feel about things, and rarely misses a chance to give Soul a light wing-slap when he pulls out a quip.

Gale
A dark-brown-on-brown earth pony. Matching her assigned breed, she's the least magically-inclined Order-nary, but makes up for it with absolute coordination. She never misses when throwing or kicking something toward a target, and can rebuild anything that has moving parts to make it significantly more efficient. She has a tendency to slip into a trance while working on machines that makes her hyper-aware of any and all imperfections to the point of distraction. Only her mentor's voice or being presented with a painfully obvious stupid suggestion can break her out of this trance.
