A Doctor Whooves tale starring the Seventh Doctor.

The Doctor goes to Whinnychester Castle to pay a visit to his former companion, the Alicorn Celestia of Equestria. What starts as a social call becomes something else when the Doctor learns Celestia's sister has been working herself to exhaustion investigating something that has been attacking ponies in their dreams.

But even that is simply a prelude to something far more sinister. Something that will require the Doctor, Celestia, and the captain of Princess Luna's Night Guard to travel through the dreams and memories of the Princess of the Night. On their quest, the trio will uncover the origins of great darkness and maybe, just maybe, avert the calamity of Nightmare Moon.

Thanks to both of you guys.

It had been hard enough, being one of the first. With the walls dropped, leaving her nation, her herd, traveling to Japan and trying to exist among so many strangers... every day had been a challenge. But she'd tried. Day by day, hoofstep by hoofstep, she'd felt she was finding her place in the human world.

But now there are no humans. No other demis or liminals. Nothing to anchor her. She exists among tiny horses and the scent of their fear, or at least what little of it drifts into her cell.

For nopony can look at a centaur and see anything but a monster.

Trigger warning: character interpretation.

This story is a sequel to Javelin

This is a little story that little Luna tells herself to remember the time when she found the tree ponies...

Note: The Crossover and Human tags are for Doctor Who (yes, again). It's probably not the Doctor you're thinking of, though. The AU tag is because the events of this story are set in the distant past, and based on the series, they probably did not happen this way.

Stand-alone sequel to "Javelin" and "But Wait...There's More!".

A Russian translation of this story by Litho can be found here.

Celestia has given Sweetie Belle a rare opportunity to become an exchange student where she can bring friendship to a whole new world’s students of magic. Elsewhere, Theodore Nott has been given a similar opportunity: turn down his Seventh Year at Hogwarts in order to learn powerful magic from the cursebreakers of the Equestrian Crystal Empire.

Neither of them has the slightest idea what they are about to experience over the next year.

This story can be read in various orders, the above is in the order that it occurs to the Doctor but not the order it was written or the order events occur on Equestria.

I set myself the goal of never writing two adjacent doctors after each other, which meant that some idea's weren't written until long after they were thought up, particularly the 4th Doctor story was one of the first conceived but one of the last written. The order the story was written in was: -

1st Doctor
6th Doctor
3rd Doctor
8th Doctor
5th Doctor
10th Doctor
2nd Doctor
7th Doctor
4th Doctor
11th Doctor
8.5th Doctor

The order of events on Equestria is a bit more complicated due to time travel. The 7th Doctor story happens at the same time as many of the other chapters as well as other times: -

7th Doctor - c. 20000 BFC (Before the fall of Corona)
9th Doctor - 120 BFC
3rd Doctor - 990 AFC (After the fall of Corona)
2nd Doctor - 995 AFC
1st Doctor - 1000 AFC (Spring)
6th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Spring)
4th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer)
8.5th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer) (Alternative Universe)
7th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer) (Alternative Universe)
8th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer)
11th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer)
5th Doctor - 3 CR (Celestia's return)
7th Doctor - 18 CR
