Soldier's Fortune

by Goldenarbiter
A Canadian Forces Signals Operator is lost in an unfamiliar land where nothing makes sense. He has to fight for his life and sanity as cruel forces manipulate the world to their advantage.

Pte Hein, A Canadian signals operator, was out for a routine patrol in Afghanistan when he was cast into a strange land of wondrous oddities, beautiful landscapes, and another long, bloody war. Now the young soldier must struggle to survive as he is swept up in the chaos of an alien conflict he has no stake in as ponies battle to drive changelings back into their desert home; a world where nothing is ever certain, especially when an unpredictable human soldier is added to the mix.

Rated Teen for violence, politics, swearing, and a mild sprinkling of hopelessness.


This story takes place several years after the Flight 19 event, and is an indirect sequel in the same universe. There will be no spoilers to the aforementioned story aside from references.

This story started out as something for me to pass the time in a really shitty posting, but as my course loads increased, I had to drop it in favour of my job, protecting Canada by serialising laptops. A word of warning, this story is also a self insert with a changed name (I say self insert only because it's based off of my skill set and level of training).
Chapters will release at one per week until completion.

Read, comment, don't down-vote without a reason, and of course, point and laugh when I fuck up.
