After putting on the Element of Magic, Sunset Shimmer was shown just how much of a monster she really is. But that wasn't all the Elements did to her.

Sunset has now been forced to serve penance by answering any question truthfully and by doing anything asked of her, whether she wants to or not.

And she really doesn't want to.

Until all of the hatred in her heart is gone, Sunset is at the whim of her peers, unbeknownst to them of course. Can her new "friends" help her down the road to redemption?

If not, there's always that other Twilight Sparkle she keeps running into.

In a world of brass and steam, Twilight Sparkle had thought she had made a life-changing discovery with the invention of the telescope. For better or worse, she was correct.

Now her discovery has not only changed her life, but the lives of those she seeks out in her desperate attempt to contact the only other creature as lonely as Twilight herself.

It all would have been much simpler, but it had to be the one Twilight could only call The Mare on the Moon.

Decidedly not within walking distance, then.

Worgen? Try Ponies as the new Alliance race instead! Deathwing's Cataclysm breaks open the seals separating Equestria from the rest of Azeroth, allowing in the insanity that is World of Warcraft and WoW players.

I also recently got a spin off! Check it out!

Main Course is a successful chef and restaurant owner. Or he was, anyway, until a fire tore up his life's work and left him adrift. When he visits his sister in the rural backwater town of Ponyville, he discovers an abandoned building that's perfect for a quick fix-up so he can flip it for a profit. But the building comes with an unforeseen tenant, and when he lets her stick around he discovers that maybe, just maybe, there's something out there more important than wealth and fame.

Twilight and Spike return to the Castle of the Two Sisters, only to find that their previous foray into its depths may not be what they remember.

Every pony in Equestria knows the names Octavia Philharmonica and Vinyl Scratch. Every musician in Equestria knows and reveres their talent and most semi-jokingly complain that Octavia and Vinyl's relationship should count as a monopoly on musical talent. Very few know their early story, years ago when Octavia had only just left Canterlot Conservatory and Vinyl was... well, being Vinyl.

This story is a sequel to Cataclysm

First Person Alternating Perspectives [Equisverse Era 1]

This story is a sequel to Cataclysm. It is not required you read Cataclysm before picking up Catalyst (Though it is recommended). This story is technically a crossover, but the nonFIM material is pretty much completely lacking lore. Aside from the physical setting all alien lore is of my creation and contained within the story.

The Dark God, Dawn, had been defeated. Helpless, he lay before his mother and the Alicorn Princesses, who granted him one chance to prove he deserved mercy despite his unfathomable and foolish cruelty. He used that one chance to trick Twilight Sparkle into banishing herself to another universe. The same universe the liar claimed to have banished Twilight’s parents to, long long ago.

With nothing but the fur on her skin to her name, Twilight must survive long enough to be rescued by her friends, whom she is absolutely certain will do everything in their power to get her home. With little else to do Twilight sets out to find safety, friends, and fate willing, the biological parents she only recently learned she has.

After all, every adopted child desires to meet their birth parents at some point in their lives. And well, if Starswirl and Clover are truly alive and well within this universe as Dawn claimed...

This story takes place in the Beta Equisverse Timeline. No storyline beyond that of The Bridesmaids, Horseshoes, Dinner at Ravenloft, Nightmare: An Equestrian Tragedy, The Queen is Dead, All Hail the Queen, Lyra-7%, Exile’s Journey, and Cataclysm is canon to this timeline. However, foundational concepts such as thaumaturgic current from other works of mine do apply.

First Person Alternating Prespectives [Equisverse Era 1]

Over the last three years, Equestria's heroes have performed great deeds. The era of threats and dangers seemed to slowly fade as obstacle after obstacle fell away and new assets fell into Equestria hooves. Unfortunately, by chance, these same acts have forced the hands of Equestria’s greatest foe.

Equestria’s heroes would be horrified to know their actions have only angered Dawn, the dark god, the great tormenter, and master of Tartarus and its Demons. By their actions, the Emperor of Prance and Queen Jiila were revived, and so Dusk’s godly mantle is now beyond Dawn’s reach. Fearing that his sister may somehow be reborn and tell the Elder Gods that it was her brother who murdered her, Dawn must strike quickly to survive.

He must have more power, enough to resist all who have the power to destroy him. Dawn knows of one source of quick and cheap power. Tormented mortal souls.

Can Equestria’s heroes overcome Armageddon itself?

For my Fan’s convenience: This story serves to tie the Alpha and Beta universes together. That’s right. EVERYTHING is canon. Sorry.

This story is a sequel to Bat's Academy

Book 2 of the Equisverse Season 2.

This story is a sequel to Voidwalkers

[Third Person] Alternating Perspectives Equisverse β

A few short days ago, Vinyl, Lyra, and their friend Sherbert freed an ancient immortal being from his prison deep beneath the northern ice. Fortunately, Chemical Fire turned out to be quite friendly only wanting to spend time with Vinyl, whom he sees as an older sister, and play harmless games with friends.

Unfortunately, Chem was not the only one of his kind on Equis, and very few of his kin are peaceful beings. Vinyl, Lyra, and Chem quickly caught the attention of Hastur the Unspeakable, a Great Old One intent on ending all life on Equis as part of a business deal.

Thanks in part to Hastur’s greed, Chem’s cunning, and Lyra’s attempts to break a curse, the fate of Equestria now rests on a twisted parody of one of Chem’s games constructed by Hastur himself. This game is no more simulation. This game takes place in another world, one that is quite real. And the end of Equis is Hastur’s chosen prize.
