As Twilight attempts to get Starlight Glimmer to see the error of her ways, Spike can't help but interject. If Starlight had a portal to take her to any place or any time, why fixate on one single event when she could accomplish so much more?

As it turns out, Starlight Glimmer has an answer. Several in fact.

Inspired by a conversation with the story's editor Tired Old Man.

Twilight died today, and then she woke up.

This story is a sequel to The Sun and her little Sparkle

It's been ten years since Twilight was adopted by Princess Celestia and the elements of harmony were put to use all too soon. Luna never awoke, though, and she remained a secret to most outside of the elements and those few servants who were tasked with keeping the sleeping princess alive and well.
Nightmare Moon returned, however, and was subsequently banished by the Elements of Harmony once again.
This is the story of what happens after. How the Night truly became what it was always meant to be.

Twilight Sparkle's wildest dreams have just been met, and exceeded. Due to an unexpected magical outburst during her entrance exam to Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, the Solar Princess herself took an interest and took Twilight on as her personal student.

This was a pleasant shock for Twilight and her family. However, a few months later, a less pleasant shock would reach Twilight in the form of Celestia returning to Canterlot with a new daughter, a freshly adopted pegasus filly named Rainbow Dash. As the two get to know each other, Twilight can clearly see something eating at the self absorbed and competitive filly's mind.

To make matters even more confusing, Princess Celestia is now hiding something. Twilight dares not question it, but it is quite clear that Celestia isn't being wholly open with anypony about her decision to adopt some random orphan.

Could the answers have something to do with the cryptic dream Twilight had the night before she met Rainbow Dash?

Now with a TV Tropes Page.

A first-in scout from the Associated Worlds investigates the anomalous star system IGS 254672, expecting to find the home of a machine god. She finds herself making first contact with sophont ponies instead. A couple of them are weakly godlike ponies, but still...

Neither world will be quite the same again.

(This is actually a crossover with the original SF that I write as my day job, which is to say with the universe of Vignettes of the Star Empire and The Core War and Other Stories, and if you like - although it should not be necessary to read this - you can read a whole selection of the nanofiction I write in that setting over at the Eldraeverse blog. I also have a Patreon which exists to fund my ongoing original writing, but if anyone wants to give me money for this instead - I'm not asking, in this case, but you never know - I surely won't turn it down.

The Eldraeverse also has a Discord, which has an #advancedverse channel specifically for this fic's AU; feel free to drop in at: https://discord.gg/SnzkKhf

As such, I should warn you in advance, gentle reader, that updates may be erratic, because I also have said writing-as-a-day-job to do and it has to take priority. I hope that won't put you off.

Timeframe-wise, it's safe to assume these events start sometime in the middle of S3, and continue from there. The situation will of course butterfly-effect away from canon with reasonable speed, and there may be a few changes needed in the course of the fusion, hence the AU tag.)

Given the successful befriending of Discord, Princess Celestia deems that no longer will villains be defeated but instead reformed. While most have the chance to submit willingly or continue to fight, King Sombra is given little option. Brought back from the dead and stripped of all his powers and strength, it's all become a game of futility. Now Sombra only wishes he could have stayed dead all along.

Among the sixth universe, a notorious hitman roamed around. The assassin held no background. No free charges. And no missions he couldn't succeed. He was flawless. He was Hit The Legendary Assassin. AKA: Hit The Infallible. He was by far the most dreaded and successful hitman all around his universe.

And now it is time for his next mission: To capture the former universal emperor, who's now the wanted fugitive Frost.

Hit has succeeded in locating Frost on a space station. But during the battle, the space station would malfunction and crash into a black hole. All seemed lost for both the assassin, and the fugitive. As they were hurled to their upcoming demises, the space station exploded out of it's fatal damages, which occurs at the exact same time with their collision with the black hole. Hit would soon find himself in a land... filled with equines, magic, and especially friendship. Will Hit be able to succeed his mission to capture the fugitive Frost? Or will he fail and bring shame to his title "Legendary Hitman"?

Dragon Ball Super crossover.

This story chronologically takes after the Tournament Of Destroyers(AKA: Universe 6 VS 7 Tournament) in DBS. And near end of Season 4 in My Little Pony.

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.

Ericka is a human from another planet on a voyage to a planet that the human race has been observing from a far but has had no way to properly interact with it's inhabitants until recent advances in technology made it possible. A device which can beam a human being consciousness into an artificially created creature.

Ericka has been chosen among a few other people to use these "artificial bodies" to interact and understand the creatures that live on this planet.

Little does Ericka know she's in for one hell of a culture shock as she witnesses magic before her eyes by these creatures with horns, creatures who look like the others except they have wings instead of a horn, and two creatures who have wings and a horn who seem to govern this world. And the mysterious reason behind the images that appear on their sides at a certain point in their lives which somehow define what they will do with the rest of their lives.

Now Ericka walks among these creatures who are unaware of what she really is, she will learn how this world works, she will learn why they do what they do, she will learn to be...
