Doctor Whooves is the most average pony in Equestria. Average grades, same boring school, no girlfriend. Even the average pony can fail all their high school entrance exam. With no other options, he is forced to enter into Everfree Academy, a private school located deep within the Everfree forest. The school, however, is far from average....and he is going to find that out the hard way. Will he survive in a school built for the supernatural residents of Equestria?

It was a night that will forever be burned into the memories of everypony. One fateful night in Equestria everything changed. The princesses who had ruled over the world with kindness and heart were gone, and a new ruler had taken their place.
Years have passed since that event. Ponies have grown up, aged, and moved on with their lives. Equestria has become a very different place over the span of these years.
Our story begins when a face resurfaces in Equestria. When a weathered, scarred, but familiar face steps into the light.

This is the fanfic based on Astringe's Bad Future series on DeviantART. He did some great designs of the characters, so make sure you give that gallery a peruse before you read the fic.

Also worth mentioning, he's been nice enough to plop any pics he does based on chapters I've written into this separate gallery, so there will be less spoilers for readers just jumping in to the story.

NOTE: The canon of my story picks up at the start of Season 3, where it begins to diverge away from the canon of the show. I've never read the IDW comics nor have I seen Equestria Girls, so the events of my story aren't canon at all with them.

980 years ago...
Celestia has been trapped in the sun for twenty years now. They have been hard times for the ponies of Equestria as they have sought to try and rebuild their society and recover from all that she did in her madness. But fear not! For though her coat and mane are now pink, and though she is shorter, and though she remembers nothing of her previous life, all that Celestia was has been reborn, and returned to Equestria!

A distant prequel to the Lunaverse.

Pegasi are falling to the ground dead. Twilight and Applejack don't know it at first, but when Rainbow Dash falls, it becomes serious. Fluttershy realizes a pattern, but is afraid to confide in any of her friends, fearing that it will put them in danger. This is a crossover between MLP and I Am Number Four.
[Warning: Some moderate language begins in chapter 2.]

When Fluttershy begins to have serious migraines and develops a lump on her head, she begins to worry she has a tumor. But when Celestia calls for a private audience with the shy Pegasus, it is revealed that they have a distant Family Relationship.
Fluttershy now has to deal with being an Alicorn, and learning all the skills and abilities needed to be one. But with her newfound ability of Foresight, will she be able to save Equestria from the return of the ruthless Alicorn Race, or will she choose to become a regular Pony, like everyone else?

Part Two of the Scratched Universe Saga.

A long time ago, there were four friends. Two were ponies from Equestria, but one was an angel from Elysium, and the other was a demon of Tartarus. None of that mattered to them though, as they grew up, they tried to ignore their destinies, hoping that their friendship would prevail over fate. Oh how wrong they were.

Rarity now finds herself alone, trapped inside Elysium, given more questions at every checkpoint and forced to see memories of a past she shouldn't have any connection to. Why is she here? What do the angels mean mean that "her life isn't hers"?

And who is Vale?

This is a vital part of the Inner Demons series. Recommend reading Inner Demons first.
