Three days into her latest stay on Earth, Twilight Sparkle is enjoying learning about Europe in the company of her mentor while staying in the nation of Equios, a European microstate bordering Switzerland that functions as Equestria's outpost on Earth.

But when a solemn Celestia wakes her early one morning and asks Twilight to accompany her to a new place a thousand miles away, she will learn that not all is Friendship and Harmony when it comes to humans. That there are some very dark and dangerous events in humanity's past whose nature may rock her to her core. Can Twilight solve the mystery her mentor presents of what happened decades earlier near a town named Pripyat? And can anything be the same afterwards if she does...?

Inspired by the HBO series Chernobyl.

Thanks to user Eezee, there is now full text to speech version of the story available with pictures up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__0FF-VeXKg

Set during FiM season 2, the story takes place in the Phoenixverse of Turnabout Storm and The Lawyer and The Unicorn, but familiarity with those two stories is not required to read this one.

I'm a keen brony, as you would expect of a person writing on this site. Well, recently I went to Bronycon as Equestria Girls Apple Bloom, or a vague approximation of her. Next I know, I'm in America...but not one I know! And why is this blonde-haired woman calling me 'sugarcube?'

A Displaced story.

Sex tag for references to certain parts of the body.

A suicide right by the school of friendship.
Why would someone do that when there was help so close?
Twilight can't let this go as just a tragic incident. There has to be a reason.
*UPDATED*
I just added some detail and fixed a couple small problems. The story itself is unchanged.

Fluttershy knows the fear of letting the music inside her out. Seeing Sweetie Belle struggling, she puts aside her own anxieties to help a friend in need. Together, they can make beautiful music.

Additional characters- Torch Song, Toe Tapper, Celestia and Luna.

Motley outcasts, dejected mages, and sordid warriors find themselves on a collision course with destiny in this budding epic.

Set in an Equestria wounded from Tirek’s bout for power. Where once compassion and warmth was well in stock, tragedy wrings the hearts across Equestria dry from the values they once so cherished. Monsters lurk blin everyone’s shadow. Some are beastly, some are equine. All of them are working to tear down the paper thin peace holding the kingdom together.

Can courage and loyalty stop the darkening of Equestria's soul? Come, get swept up in a whirlwind of intrigue and action to find out!

"Extremely engaging" - My Little Reviews & Feedback

Twilight is writing, trying her hoof at something new, something to break the haze of days blurring past. But is there truly anything new for an immortal?

This story is a sequel to My Little Descendants

Aftermath: something that results or follows from an event, especially one of a disastrous or unfortunate nature.

It's been a month since the events of My Little Descendants. The Island foals are slowly adjusting to life in Equestria, but a lifetime of villainy takes it's toll, and scars take time to heal. But that's nothing they can't handle.

Right?

As loose ends tie themselves, they learn, what comes after is sometimes harder than what came before.

Stories Within the Story

Daughter Of The Moon: Nyx has discovered that Nightmare Moon isn't her real mother, merely the mare who raised her. But how is that possible when the mare who claims to be your mother has been "dead", or at least missing, for a millennium?

A Sister’s Love: A sister’s heart knows no bounds, but how far must she go when life calls for the unimaginable?

Check out the custom-made theme music created by The L-Train here!

Have you ever kept a secret from somepony?

How about an entirely different life?

Twilight Velvet has definitely been less than honest with her family and friends, but now, so many years later, somepony stumbles upon the truth. Adventures long done, friendships that have withered to the barest of sparks—what will resurface as Twilight's true life is uncovered?

Rated Teen for blood, profanity, suggestive themes, and violence.

A subseries of the revised Modern Equestria Project.

Daring Did: Tales of an Adventurer's Companion is a fanfiction series that aims to breathe new life into a once-popular headcanon: that Twilight Velvet—Twilight Sparkle's mother—was directly involved with Daring Do and her adventures. Travel with Daring Do and Twilight Velvet across Equestria and beyond as they discover treasures of old, battle dangerous foes, and unearth the knowledge the world’s past has to offer. Drawing inspiration from real-world archeology, locales, and cultures; auxiliary MLP material like the IDW comics and G.M. Berrow chapter books; and standard action-adventure fare like Uncharted and Indiana Jones, Daring Did combines all of these elements into a witty, yet deep narrative that captures a spirit of exploration and exhilaration.
