Pony Joe awakens before the dawn each morning, readies himself for his day, and then walks through Canterlot's cold and silent streets to his doughnut shop.

Life has become pretty mundane for Joe, but as he serves his customers and chats with his regulars he realizes that he has come to rely on that repetition...he relies on it to keep from remembering.

As a casual utterance by a new customer sends Joe into a spiral of haunting memories we learn about his life...and what he must give up if he wishes to move beyond his past.

Chrysalis was not always evil. She was born a kind, and gentle pony. Her subjects adored her, and she was very beautiful. Although her life wasn't perfect. Even as a young mare she dealt with the struggles of broken hearts, tyrannical governments, and black souls. This is the story of Queen Chrysalis, and what turned her pure heart, into that of darkness.

Celestia wakes up in human form and at an insane asylum where similarities between the world she is in now and the world of Equestria cause her to wonder if Equestria even exists or if she simply made it up to escape her human life. Does she try to hold on to her memories of her Canterlot life or does she let them go and accept them as nothing more than stories? Who is she going to trust? Who is she anyway?

This is only the beginning...

Crossover with--say it with me--Watership Down, which if you get it should explain the dark tag.
