The Elements of Harmony find themselves facing an old evil united with one from beyond their world entirely, bringing magic so alien that Equestrian magic cannot defend against it. Yet, long ago, when the Elements existed in a different form, they summoned aid from beyond the world to defeat a similar threat from beyond.

Out of desperation, today's Elements repeat that ancient summoning, and they get – a hillbilly with a silver-strung guitar?

‘A horse walks into a bar...’

One evening a despondent Applejack walked into Ponyville’s tavern. The next morning she was gone without a trace.

In the days following her disappearance the inn’s landlord recounts events in Ponyville as the town searches for its lost friend, struggling to understand why she left, and where she went.

Twilight has given you a new book to read. Well, she didn't exactly give it to you, you actually just found it in the back of the library. Behind a shelf. On the ground. It looks very old, downright ancient, and it smells like moss and rot. The binding is a little cracked, and there's no title on it. You can't help but wonder what might be inside, and the only way to find out is to keep reading.

Just turn the page.

You can do that much, can't you?

Please?

Appearance is everything, especially when you're a Wonderbolt. When you live your life in the spotlight, showing vulnerability will not do. There can be no cracks in your foundation, at least that's how it feels. But learning to bring those walls down can lead to surprising, wonderful revelations—even in the intensive care ward.

For some ponies, like Captain Spitfire, something needs to shake the foundations to bring the walls tumbling down. Then, with some help from the right pony, you can be led from the rubble.

Even if you fall head-over-hooves along the way.

An ongoing gift for auramane. Send him some love!

The Mane 6 are captured by Hugo Strange, and are sent into Arkham City. He separates them and steals the Elements of Harmony. He plans to use them for Protocol 10. They must find a way to get the Elements back, get reunited, and get back to Equestria.

This is a fan-written side story of what is happening in Batman: Arkham City. Its a story about the 6 main Ponies, not Batman. I first uploaded this story on my Deviantart on February 13, 2012. I'm just now putting it on here also.

Avengers: Infinity War Crossover (Chapters 1-100)

Avengers: Endgame Crossover (Chapters 101-200)

This story is a sequel to This War of Ours.

The worlds were changed. For better or for worse, many could determine. For Earth, scars have been left not only for humanity, but in the remnants of the Avengers. For Equus, wounds have been inflicted, and very little has been done to heal. Both the ponies and the Avengers have agreed to let time determine their fates.

They waited too long. They weren’t ready. Neither Earth nor Equus could have prepared for him.

Caught in the midst of a cosmic terror unlike anything they have ever experienced, the Avengers and the ponies of Equestria must do whatever it takes to push back against the tide that threatens both of their worlds. If they fail to do so, then both Earth and Equus remain teetering on the brink of destruction.

The culmination has arrived. The Mad Titan has waited so long for this moment. Long live the Infinity Era.
