    After being marooned on an icy world in unexplored space, Lumina must now face the perils of this frozen wasteland and search for some way home. But in this dark place, she discovers something that was lost to pony kind ever since the fabled Equestria sank into the ocean over 10,000 years ago. Something that will change her, and possibly the entire galaxy, forever.

    Not a cross over, and not an alternate universe. This is the far future, and this has happened before.

    Entrepreneurs of the modern era, Click and Clack hope to revolutionize the market of beverages by introducing their newest discovery.  Coffee.  Dreams of becoming rich already stuck in their minds, they find themselves opening their first shop in Ponyville, a quaint town that would be the start of their business' success.  Unluckily for them, they haven't met the residents of the small town.  They also didn't account for any attachments or entanglements, let alone anything other than business and profit.  And they certainly didn't expect to be in any danger.

    Celestia decides that Big Mac's barn is an excellent place to sneak off to, to take naps on her days off.

    Big Mac decides that Celestia is a welcome guest.

    Neither Princess nor farmer ever speak to one another, but the silence sings between them.

    Raven of the Teen Titans has long been a closet pegasister.  She was introduced to Friendship is Magic by Beast Boy and Starfire and - although she is loathe to admit it - she enjoyed it.  She especially identified with the character of Twilight Sparkle.  What with Twilight's enjoyment of reading, talent in magic, and unexpected but life changing friendships, it felt like Raven's own life mirrored and sugarcoated onto a world of pastel colored ponies.  Even Twilight's friends reminded Raven of her own to a certain extent.

    When she wakes up one morning in Twilight Sparkle's body with no idea how this happened or how to fix it, she begins to think she identified with her a little too well.

    Now trapped in the plot of the series from the beginning, she has to find away to fix this, find out what happened to the real Twilight, and at the same time save all of Equestria.  At least she has some friends to help, right?

    -------------

    Crossover idea inspired by the fact that these two characters share the same voice actor, Tara Strong.  Originally, it was just an idea I played with for fun, but I have a serious - and frightening - plot for it.  Dark for later chapters.

    She's the original. She won the paint-watching test, fair and square.

    So why do the townsponies keep avoiding her? Why do all her friends keep whispering around her? And why does Twilight keep insisting that she isn't any good at baking or throwing parties?

    She's the original. The best Pinkie. She won the test, fair and square. She's not some copy, not anymore...but perhaps being a copy would be easier than being herself.


    An exploration of grief and identity, among other things. Partially inspired by Quadrophenia by The Who. The Pinkie Pie and Other tags together represent Pinkie's clone.

    Editing by; Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi, CDRW, plumander, Sereg, and JapaneseTeeth, all of whom are awesome.

    Several decades after the heroic actions of Jigsaw, Tiptoe, and Incendia restored the princesses, the world has begun the slow process of healing. Spectrum is a headstrong young stallion from Totemhoof who signs up with an excavation team in the hopes of experiencing a life changing adventure. What he finds will send him into a head-on collision with forces he can't begin to comprehend- and, perhaps, a chance to fulfill his destiny.

    Sequel to Antipodes- though you don't need to have read it to enjoy this, I hope.
