An average man died an average death, having achieved nothing of note, either of good, or evil. While in a different world, Celestia has perished during the changeling invasion, leaving behind grieving sister, student and nation.
But death is not the end for either of these people and with the power of a star, their destinies will be intertwined and reforged anew!

After a freak accident, Princess Celestia finds herself in a whole new universe. As she seeks a way home, she is captured by none other than Team Rocket.

Welp.

Now on TV Tropes.

Anon is dragged into Equestria by the effects of a mysterious idol belonging to Discord. He is soon discovered by Princess Celestia, Twilight, and Fluttershy, without any memory of how to speak or write clearly, or his past. Fluttershy then volunteers to watch over Anon until the princesses decide on further action. What follows is Anon's attempts at making a new life for himself alongside Fluttershy and her friends.

Featured as of 11/13/2017- Holy moly! A hearty thank-you to everyone who has joined me for the story so far, and a warm welcome to everyone who has yet to hop on board. Enjoy.

Edit as of 2022: Marked as cancelled as a courtesy to anyone who finds this. Between grad school and depression, I lost what direction I had to keep up with the story as intended. There isn't any intention to keep working on it, but I can't bring myself to delete it outright. Please take it as you will, and accept my sincerest apologies that it took so long to make clear.

Anon's life has been simple since he appeared in Equestria. However, one night, everything changes as he finds a child unlike any other on his doorstep. Does he have what it takes to take care of her? With the help of his friends, he might have a fighting chance.

It turns out that the magical land of Equestria is not a flat plane covered by a bowl of stars after all. This is big news to Queen Chrysalis. If the moon is actually a place, then she can travel there, claim its magical energies, and finally get revenge on Celestia, Twilight Sparkle, and everypony else.

Of course, there are problems. One problem is that everypony else is also rushing to get into space. Another problem is that Chrysalis really has no idea how to do it. Fortunately a certain earth pony with a taste for cherries is willing to help... provided she gets to fly the ship, and provided Chrysalis keeps the space program honest and open and legal.

Together, Chrysalis, Cherry Berry, and a horde of brave-but-dumb changelings will make world history... or, more likely, they'll make a lot of really big explosions.

You are Anon. Or, at least, you used to be. Sort of. Now you're a filly. Let's just say, you're not thrilled with the change. And with it comes some unforeseen consequences.

Originally Edited by Alex_

For Rainbow Dash, seeing is believing. When her friend Twilight Sparkle told her that "electricity is harmful to humans with enough likelihood that you should definitely not zap Anon with lightning bolts", she didn't listen. After all from the two of them, it was Dash who saw more creatures zapped with lightning. Most of those occurrences were her doing as well. And so she decided to knock down two apples with one stone - teach her book loving friend a lesson about who the real weather expert is, and cure the local oddity that was Anonymous the Human from his irrational fear. Oh, and of course have a blast doing it.

Things don't exactly go according to her plan however, and she ends up creating a bigger mess than she could comprehend - not only for herself and her target, but also a certain somepony who will have to abandon her ancient traditions and improvise on the spot.

Formerly marked mature for uncouth language and the death theme. I now have an actual 'death' tag though, so I dropped it down.

Being the Deity of Time is tough work. You've got to protect the timestream, save ponies that tamper with time and get stuck in infinite loops.

There's also a lot of experimenting one can get done with the ability to reset the universe each time.

a lot of experimenting.

Point is, she's done a lot, for a LONG time. So, after her latest experiment goes very wrong, she decides to take a vacation.

Back to where she was once known as Twilight Sparkle.

Also, Discord does some things too.

Tragedy strikes the Sparkle estate one winter evening and Twilight finds herself cold, alone, and far from home.

Fortunately she stumbles across two fillies who may have more in common with her than she realizes. With no place else to go, nopony else to turn to, and no clear way back home, Twilight decides to stay with the fillies and their caretaker while she tries to piece together the mysteries of what happened to her family and why.

Bonds will be forged.

Secrets will be unraveled.

And a great journey will be undertaken.
