Fluttershy has noticed some new vicious bunnies around and wonders where they�re coming from. When her pet Angel disappears, Fluttershy gets worried and decides to investigate further. To do this, she asks Twilight to turn her into a bunny. Twilight concedes, but she insists on coming with her. Together, Twilight and Fluttershy search for Angel in an unknown warren that may be harboring a dark secret.
Crossover with--say it with me--Watership Down, which if you get it should explain the dark tag.
Chapters (3)
Holy Hell, this is one of if not the coolest crossover idea that I've seen yet. I freaking love Watership Down! Your formatting is a little clunky at times (changing paragraphs even when the same character is speaking). Also, how would Twilight know about Efrafa? From the book?
Okay, this is going straight on my too-read list! I've read watership down. I know that bunnies are not cute. I try to tell people, and they often don't believe me. But I know.
Edit: Okay, actually turns out this was quite short so I did read it. Not much happening yet, but I fear for Futtershy's innocent world view after this.
Eeeeee! Finally!
I love Watership Down. one of the best books ever!
Hell-to-the-fucking-yes.
732107 She reads so much, I figure she eventually found Watership Down and read it.
I.FUCKING.LOVE.YOU.

Quite.

Hmm...Seems legit. But it takes a little bit of the story´s suspense. In the end, it felt a little bit rushed.
I also found one mistake near the end. 'Fluttershy screamed and cowered behind Twilight...'
'cover' is written with 'v' instead of 'w'.
Otherwise, I haven´t found anything.
And, after my analyzing reaction, now my emotional reaction:
OH MY GOD!!!
A Watership Down-cross-over!!!
I always loved this story! I usually don´t like cross-overs, but this is one of the few exceptions.
Now, there only has to be a Bambi-cross-over and my world would be perfect...
YesYesYesYesYesYesYes. I bucking LOVE Watership Down, and this sounds like a perfect crossover. The pacing was a bit fast and (like GingerNutGin said), the formatting could use a little work. Obviously this is just the first chapter, so we'll wait and see how it goes. No matter what, this is a pretty cool-ass concept. You get a like and fave, good sir.
732582 Well, that's what I'm letting you believe now. Maybe Twilight has...experience with these Efrafan rabbits...
Thank you!
And I don't believe I missed that mistake!
And as for Bambi, that doesn't sound too hard and I might just do something with that one day when I have writer's block...I assume you're referring to the book version.
732608
The book version of Bambi? That would be perfect!
Though and granted, I never got the chance to read it, because I never found an exemplar...
I would do a cross-over of this kind on my own, but I´m too busy with my other stories and, in addition, I haven´t any idea yet how one could involve him into the Equestrian universe in a logical way...
Anyway, back to the story: I´m looking forward for the next chapter.
I loved Watership Down as a kid. To bad they canceled it though. Insta Fav and Like

732723 I forgot to mention, that yes Watership Down did have a cartoon series that was bassed of the books. I neve read the books myself but I have seen the show.
734047 The movie and books are comepletely different from the series. The good thing about the series is it showed some things that were in the book but not the movie. However, it changed the name of my favorite doe Hyzenthlay to Primrose. What the hay?
734063 On the topic of books, have you read the wing trilogy? (Silverwing, Sunwing and Firewing)
734151 In the middle of Sunwing!
734163 It's nice to see another reader on this sight. So far I've red Inkspell, the wing triligy, all seven harry potter books, all 12 darren shan Circue du freak books, all (I think it's 10 but I might be wrong) Darren Shan The Deamonta books. Also I still have a full library of books in my room, I also read Romio and Juliet, Mcbeth, and The Divine Comedy (Dante's Inferno).
734184 I read a couple of those, not Inkspell, Cique du freak, Darren Shan The Deamonta, or Macbeth, but the others.
WEll...Uh...The idea is interesting (I've read watership down and I really admire it). But as aforementioned, you really need to work on formatting...Don't rush the story onto the net, read through it twice and check if grammar/format is good. Sentence structure could use some work too. You also need to explain a few things.. How did Efrafan bunnies get into Equestria and how does Twilight knows about them? ...All good crossovers need to explain how the characters...crossed over...If not in first chapter, second chapter...
735321 Speaking of which...that is second chapter. Just wait.
OMG I just read the title XD can't WAIT to read!!!
734163
I remember watching the Silverwing cartoon on Toon Disney back in 05.
Anyways, great job on this crossover so far.
I've only seen the original Watership Down movie. Tell me, will you be using elements from both the book, the movie, and the series?
Also, since you're doing a MLP crossover with Watership Down, do one with The Plague Dogs next! I still have that movie!
751105 I'm planning to only use stuff from the book (or books, if I can find anything in Tales that works in the story) I'm probably not going to include anything on the series unless it appeared in the book.
OOH! Plague Dogs! We'll see about that...
732723 I just figured out a way to do Bambi last night. It will come as soon as it can.
I love the Watership Down books, they are amazing. I think the idea for this story is really good. To those people asking how Twilight knew about Efrafa, just wait for the next chapter. Patience. Also, was the rabbit in charge of the wide patrol Woundwort, or a Captain?
By the way, I was also really annoyed at the Hyzenthlay/Primrose thing. Ugh.
751730
Who is the rabbit? Those are the first words of chapter two...
755018
I do not see this chapter two of which you speak.
755304 Oh, it's not there yet. But maybe I might as well put it up. The only reason I haven't is because it's kind of a disappointment next to the first one. Plus I'm waiting for an idea for chapter three. I kind of knnow where I want this to go, but I'm not sure how to get there.
If you're still mad I didn't explain the existence of the rabbits in Equestria, then here: chapter three. It's right there. Just click the button and be happy.
Well Fluttershy and Twilight meet Hazel and Fiver-kun? =3
I love those two characters! x3
about time you updated, my friend. =3
Can't wait til next chapter.
But if I may ask, will Hazel and Fiver appear in the story? =3
806170 I'm planning on focusing on the Efrafan rabbits, so I'm not thinking that the Watership Down rabbits will ever make sense here. But if I find a way it makes sense, I'll see what I can do.
I read, I liked, I noticed a few things, I remembered how I'm not perfect either, I faved, I commented, I wait for the next chapter, I go on to read my other 10 read later stories.
Great concept, and I want to see how this plays out! (A cross between my favourite novel and my favourite show, even if this was bad I would read it!
) Keep up your great work! 
809171 Only 10? You must be more discerning than me! I've got 86 in my read list
809639
I keep it to a 15 maximum. I read other stories and read comments so I know how to improve my own stories. 
86 is just too many
and I read yours over the other 10 that have been sitting on my read later list for......... 2 weeks now.
809661 Aw, that makes me feel special
Well, your story is an amazing crossover idea! I had to read it ASAP.
BTW when is the next chapter coming up? 
Frith is definitely Celestia, or would that be the other way around?
809777
That would make Luna-rar the Black Rabbit. Inlé translates as moon or moonrise as well as fear and death.
809777>>826218 I can make that work and I'm using it!
Oh! You've ended my writer's block! Thank you!
Awesome crossover concept! Can't wait for more!
nice Story! Liked the usage of the characters, and the crossover idea (saw the watership down cartoon when I was little, very creepy!
Though I can't see any rabits, even THEM, being any kind of threat to ponies with a high potency of magical powers.
856952 I am so sorry you saw that as a little kid. I saw it not as a kid, but...meh, I was old enough. I thought it was really weird at the time, but at the same time I found it utterly fascinating. And still do.
Yes, thank you for the thought. Don't worry, THEY are certainly a threat. But it's not the ponies you should worry for just yet...
809686 Sorry, I just noticed this was here.
Next chapter is about halfway done, I think. I'll take another look at it and see if I can finish it up and stick it here.
892407
Don't rush yourself. Make sure you're totally 120% happy with it.
I enjoyed Watership Down, and this seems like a really cool idea. I enjoyed the first two chapters, I'm looking forward to reading the rest!
This is getting really cool. The third chapter just totally took it in a different direction. "Oh yeah, Watership Down is actually real, Flutter Shy. Go check on your animals"
I am excited to read more.
I only know the name Watership Down because of the tagline "In the tradition of Watership Down" on the Redwall books, but I'm intrigued nonetheless.
im gonna read this
It's a shame you didn't continue with this; I've always wanted to read an MLP/WD crossover. There are some interesting ideas here, too. I do have a few issues with some of it: I don't think Woundwort (or I!) would describe Campion as "next best" after Vervain; he's clearly better, including in the General's estimation. Still, I'd have read on if I could have done.
3768025 This is sooo old but I"m glad you were interested! Sorry about that, I've just grown far too unreliable with such things. Better to nip it here before I really screw up somewhere.
