"The first time I came back, I thought it was a miracle. By the fifth or sixth time, I knew it was a curse."

Death is a reasonable fear, but it is also a constant reassurance. A promise that no matter how bad things get, they will one day end.

That promise was broken, leaving Rainbow Dash to pay the cost.

A very last minute entry for the 2024 SciFi Contest III.

Special thanks to ScreamQueen and Rb for prereading and valuable feedback.

General content warning: Some depictions of blood, death, and debilitating injuries, but no graphic descriptions. Some existential horror.

This is a spin on the "Spiderverse" movies but does not have any correlation with those films.

Rainbow Dash accidentally launches a Rainboom one morning to find herself in another version of Equestria. From there, she goes on an adventure, learning that hundreds of other Rainbow Dashes have banded together to try to stop one evil Rainbow Dash named Hurricane and other evil variants of herself from taking over the Multiverse. The Rainbow Dash we know makes friends with a Rodeo Star named Zap Apple and Rainbow Skies, a Griffon who was raised by Windy and Bow as if she were their daughter. As the trio trek through the multiverse, they soon discover a conspiracy that will force our Rainbow Dash to face the worst aspects of herself in more ways than one.

Anon gets turned into a colt that has no home and no friends or family, but he is happy. The reason he is happy he could do anything he please. And also he could make friends on the way. He could get stronger who knows?

A nation fractured and surrounded by enemies, a physically weak ruler who struggled daily to maintain an empire that weakened with each passing year. Together with nobles increasingly ambitious and emboldened as the emperor's authority dwindled.

All this added up to a powder fuse for a nation that would explode into conflict with the ambition of the various duchies and counties that already wielded considerable power.

And in the middle of all this chaos, he is born.

An old spirit in a young body. The first and only heir of the Von Greifenstein dynasty and the last hope of a declining Griffonian Empire.

Grover the Sixth, Emperor of the Griffons.

I remember... Making a wish.

But that was so long ago, and I... don't remember what exactly it was... Perhaps that's why I am who I am now.

Do I regret it? I... don't remember. So many things have happened, and so many things have changed since then. There are many things I have done to regret, but the wish itself?

...Well...

I don't remember who I was before it.

Crossover with Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni). There may be some minor spoilers to the plot, but overall it is simply a use of characters and abilities.

This story is a sequel to Tranquility

The most enigmatic of monsters will not carry the ugly faces of any beast, but your neighbor’s kindness in excess. A young draconequus named Discord has yet to learn this, and mortals may never do so. He learns this when he extends the generosity only a god can offer to an ailing mortal mare.

Amidst all this turmoil, the first lamia comes into being — and with them, all the chaos their creation was inevitably going to bring.

Tanya Degurechaff gets tossed into Equestria and transformed into a Changeling Queen. It's a nice retirement from modern warfare as an aerial mage. Then Queen Chrysalis attacks and forces her out of retirement. Historians refer to this as 'a bit of an oopsie.'

This story is a sequel to Equestria Ninja Girls: Shell Shock

The Ninja Turtles and Rainbooms help the half-Atlantean, Aquaman, to find the lost, ancient artifact of Atlantis that could help him dethrone his half-brother, King Orm, who leads the underwater kingdom of Atlantis and seeks to unite the seven underwater kingdoms against the surface world that will lead to war and bloodshed.

An errand in the Everfree takes a turn for the worse when Fluttershy is attacked by a rampaging hydra. Things only get weirder when she is saved from the beast by a mysterious giant, one she quickly learns has no memory of who he is or where he came from. As Fluttershy and the rest of the elements work to help this mysterious being they discover there is more to their world than they could have imagined as well as something far more ancient than Equestria or the Elements of Harmony.

Just a couple things to get clear:
- This is an alternate universe so there will be quite a few things different from canon, but the characters should overall be like their canon selves
- So there is no confusion on age, the Mane 6 are in their mid-late 20s and the CMC/Spike are in their late teens/early 20s. All other characters are aged up appropriately to match those standards.

This story is still my first attempt at serious writing (even after making a butt load of changes) so any and all constructive criticism is welcome

Despite moving to Ponyville, Octavia's career is going strong. In high society, name and recognition is everything, this is holds true for anypony who wishes to work in those circles. So sometimes having a reputation helps in getting those well paying jobs at private parties.

But sometimes? Sometimes Octavia hates her reputation. Because when a pony is found dead in the estate of House Radon, every eye turns to her to figure out who killed the pony, including the main suspect herself: Lyra Heartstrings.

With the rest of Canterlot a blizzard away, help is not likely to show up any time soon. So not only will Octavia have to figure out who among the guests is a killer, she'll also need to confront past demons she wishes she'd left behind.
