A familiar story cast with different players in an Equestria with mixed up roles...

A strange celestial event is lining up at the same time as this years summer sun celebration. At the behest of her mentor, The Royal Sage, Cadence is sent out to Ponyville to investigate this phenomena and it's ties to an old folk tale. At her side is The Royal Sage's personal assistant Spike and her childhood friend Shining armor. are the signs true? and if they are can the three discover the secrets of the elements of harmony in time to stop it?

(an AU with a mixed up cast. Differences from Canon? Expect role reversals, age changes and other such nonsense. A Big Thanks to Prosopeio for helping flesh this idea out.)

Five simple letters. When uttered seperatly, nothing out of the ordinary happens. But when uttered together as a word, they unleash one of the greatest heroes know to mankind. The word is SHAZAM, a phrase which young Billy Batson yells to turn into the powerful Captain Marvel. But it will take more than a word to help him as he is sent to a new world to hunt down a monster of unbelievable power. This new world is Equestria, home to colorful, peaceful ponies that know little about fighting and prefer to have fun. Thousand of miles away from his own world, Billy is trapped in this world with no way to return home. But what constitutes as home?

Captain Marvel and Billy will be based off his older version and not the newer one. Look up Superman/Shazam Return of Black Adam for more info.

An evil overlord is banished from his world, his destination being Equestria's moon. There he encounters Nightmare Moon who he realizes is the worst villain he's ever met. When she reveals that her own banishment is nearly over and offers to take him with her, he decides that teaching her how to be a proper villain is a small price to pay for skipping a thousand years of isolation.

Also just a heads up, this is in 2nd person.

‘They’ are the shadowy figures lurking just beyond the corners of your eyes, pulling the strings of reality and shaping it to better suit their intentions. They are the celestial bureaucracy, ensuring that everything works together orderly, smoothly, and harmoniously. And, in order to do that, They sometimes have to change a few things.

Things like changing a stallion named Cloud Buster into a lithe cyan mare with a multicolored mane and tail, renaming her Rainbow Dash, giving her a new set of friends, and changing just about everything about her life. However, Cloud—Rainbow—whoever he or she is now—isn’t willing to give up her old life, or her choice in her own destiny, without a fight.

Climbing the Cliff by Pia-chan! (from chapter 5)

You know these stories where somebody suddenly wakes up with a creepy, unknown voice in their head? Well that's what's happening to me, except I'm that strange voice, and I'm not stuck in somebody, I'm stuck in somePONY.

How did I get here? And how will I ever find a way to go back without so much as a body to call my own?

My first ever fanfic of anything ever, so feel free to rip it to shreds if it sucks.

Just wanted to toy with the "voices in my head" shtick.
