~~Written for the /fic/ writing prompt thing~~

While trapped in a stone casing, there isn't much else to do but think. I like to think that's what Celestia was trying to do, give me time to think. When she trapped me in here she wanted me to understand something, and I did. Love is cruel. I had been placed here out of spite, to stare at the darkness that once consumed my soul. But that's all gone now. Sometimes, when you burn the bridge that brought you to the other side of the lake, you don't think about ever needing to get back to the side you came from. Until you're forced to.

A/N: To be honest, this fic kinda sucks. It was written an hour before submission date, doesn't have much thought put into it, and is overall just bad. I'm submitting it anyway, because I don't like wasting things I write. And, sigh, I wrote this so I might as well submit it.

(The continuation of this story-verse is Star Trek: Pegasus.)

This is a direct sequel to my previous fic The Quandary of DisQord and is, of course, another Star Trek: The Next Generation / Friendship is Magic crossover. This time, however, Q has decided to bring the crew of the Enterprise-D along for the ride as well.

This is a much lighter story than Quandary was (since Quandary was the story of Discord's reign prior to his first defeat, it was bound to be a bit on the dark side). Also, be warned, though I tried to keep them to a minimum, there are still a few references to and spoilers for Quandary in this fic here, so I'd obviously recommend reading that one first before reading this one. Though, at the same time, this one is hopefully self-contained enough that you wouldn't necessarily have to read Quandary first in order to understand anything, if you don't care to.

Also beware, there is a bit of very mild one-sided shipping between one of the ponies and one of the humans, but nothing super serious or squicky or anything like that. And the Discord/Celestia ship from Quandary is touched upon again, of course. Just thought I'd mention it here, in case someone might be turned off by that sort of thing.

As with Quandary, extensive (and spoiler-filled) Author's Notes can be found after the end of the final chapter.

The pocket universe of Equestria expands in the North Pacific of a dying future earth. Celestia offers escape to a better life - but survival has a price. 27 Ounces follows the dramatic transformations that arise from one single container of Ponification Serum.

Due to a typo on her permit to build a new barn, and the meddling of a recalcitrant bureaucrat, Applejack is stuck running a bar, at least until Mayor Mare gets back to town. So sit down and have a drink in Ponyville's least likely watering hole!

It has been three years since Equestria emerged into the Pacific Ocean. While the random hotspots of thaumatic radiation have subsided, one all-important question has remained unanswered: Why is magic only harmful to humans and higher primates? Dr. Amy Getton, Fluttershy, and a squad of Royal Guard veterans venture into the African jungle in an attempt to both answer this question and begin to work on ponifying the higher primates. But a dark threat lurks in the shadows, with its own nightmarish agenda.

It can be said the multiverse is a series of rivers, each one its own reality, all flowing infinitely close to each other, but never touching. When one river receives a sudden influx of energy and overflows its banks, touching another reality in the process, two species must come to terms with their sudden awareness of the other. And as the deeper ramifications of their meeting become apparent, both species must make a choice as one.

While this is a direct sequel to In Duty's Name, it is not required to read it. It is recommended, as it will help you get to know everypony better :)

A mysterious blacksmith with a troubled past trundles into Ponyville as he wends his way to nowhere across Equestria. A chance encounter with three boisterous foals leads him and them to an adventure they'll never forget, which will change their lives forever.

NOTE: Does not include either Indy nor Nazi's - sorry to disappoint... but it's pretty good :)

Captain Cloudhammer has served the Equestrian Royal Guard for as long as anypony can remember. He has seen more threats to Equestria come and go than most should, from Nightmare Moon's return to Discord's revival. But when a threat unlike any other arises to threaten the very nature of Equestria itself, and forces the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony to travel to a strange and unknown land, Cloudhammer volunteers without hesitation to escort them. But the journey will test him in ways he never thought possible, and teach him lessons in friendship not soon forgotten.
