Pepper Chilly's stay in Ponyville and Canterlot brought her between Elements and Princesses alike. But when her dimension-traveling eye spotted the hourglass running out of sand, Princess Celestia paid the ultimate price. What the regicide didn't know was that her next murder would bring her back to Equestria, alongside Gamine, a guardian in training, just in time to witness the fallout and the unforeseen consequences of Celestia’s disappearance.

This fanfiction is plot centered around OCs, and is based on my own headcanon. But all characters from the show will be involved.

A spectral maned horse of voice cracking awesomeness, commonly known as Rainbow Dash, travails upon flying her prismatic figure eastward beyond the purple mountains, as told by old friends, noble and wise and otherwise.

An accompaniment(?) to the original work, Austraeoh, by Imploding Colon.

A horrible Cataclysm has turned all of Equestria into a Wasteland of barren ash and twilight desolation. The Sun and the Moon have been destroyed. Everypony has died--including Princesses Luna and Celestia. But one pony miraculously survives; she is a lone wanderer, the last of her kind, surrounded by menacing creatures that hate her. She navigates the Wastes in an airship and scavenges off the blighted landscape to keep herself alive.

Then one day she meets an old companion who grants her a gift, the chance to go back in time to the warm and sunny days of Ponyville, where her dead friends live in happiness. How far will the last pony venture into this joyous age of Equestria, even if she fully knows that there is no way to change the horrible fate of everypony she loves?
