Civil war broke out on Homeworld several thousand years ago; rebel Gems known as the Crystal Gems fought against Homeworld's genocidal ideals. Homeworld lost a number of promising colonies to those rebels. Now, some of the surviving Crystal Gems just want to live out the rest of their lives, seeing and enjoying what they saved in peace. But when one of those former colonies is Equestria, with all its crazy magic, that life will be anything but peaceful. Luckily, the Gems left behind aren't exactly ones for sitting on their butts watching some show about technicolor ponies.

Magic Rocks + Magic World + Magic race = A Whole Lot of Crazy Fun!

Steven Universe/MLP crossover. All Gemsonas (Gem OCs) are property of those who made them.

Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch have been best friends and eventually love interests for as long as anyone could remember, nothing could keep them apart. They had made plans together and were going to get married, surrounded by family and friends.

That was 6 months ago.

Vinyl now sits in a hospital bed. Her end slowly drawing closer with her lover sitting beside her, only one thing going through the Disc Jockeys head.

"Christ I need a drink."


One-shot OctaScratch Humanised Don't like the sound of that, you know where the door is.

I was planning to do this for her birthday but I probably would've forgot by that time. I guess it can be a gift for being the awesome friend she is. Then it got turned into a One Year FimFic Anniversary story. Still good though, right? :twilightsheepish: Think of it as a gift for everyone, especially her.

To the beautiful Miss Spectrum, thank you for just being the person you are today. Can't imagine what my life would be like without you. :twilightsmile:

And to everyone else that has ever had to sit through my ramblings. You are all awesome.

Anyway, second story of mine. If you didn't like it, at least tell me why before you downvote.
If you liked it then please, say something. My writing confidence could use a boost. :twilightsheepish:

Inspired by the song 'Long Live the Queen' by Frank Turner.

CMC are in their late teens.

Special thanks to Twilight_is_the_BEST for laying the groundwork of this story.

The events in this story are considered canonical for Darkest Darkness, but neither story is required to be read in order to understand the other.

This story takes place and was written before the events of Season 5, Episode 18.

Life has changed for the Cutie Mark Crusaders. After graduating high school without their cutie marks, the CMC are finally free of Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon. Without school holding them back, they are free to pursue their cutie marks to the ends of the earth.

And when Sweetie Belle finds a mysterious ring that shows a magical map, to the ends of the earth is exactly where they might be headed.

It's Sombra and Pinkie's 10th Hearts and Hooves Day, and while they want to celebrate, there's one issue...

Their son.


This takes place after the events of No Day But Today, though it's not really a sequel. This is a Hearts and Hooves Day special, really. Yeah, I know it's late, but whatever, I do what I want.

Now has a sequel, One Year Later


After a vigorous day of organising and sending reports to Celestia, Twilight notices Spike is feeling a little ill. He slowly grows more and more cold, before finally falling into a coma that Twilight fears is her own fault.

Going to the Princesses for help, Twilight eventually is brought before an Elder Dragon and comes to the realisation that she may have failed as a caretaker, a friend and as an older sister.

*EDIT* Okay, okay. You guys win - I'll write an additional chapter or two. I've marked this story 'Incomplete' for now. Follow up chapter has been done. If you want more, let me know. I'm sure there are a few other characters I could write a chapter on (Except for the dragons, of course)

*DOUBLE EDIT* Okay, wow. I seriously didn't expect this to take off as well as it has. This is honestly probably one of the best days of my life. I'm so glad and happy that you've all enjoyed the story.
