Doctor Whooves, Lyra Heartstrings, Derpy Hooves, Octavia Melody, Vinyl Scratch, and Bon Bon are background ponies. They've been those ponies who sit in crowds, watching everything that the Mane Six do, singing along to their songs, and cheering for them when they win against an enemy. But they have lives, too.
Now rogue changelings are showing up in Ponyville, dimensional rifts are opening up, ponies are disappearing, and the Mane Six are nowhere to be seen. Can six background ponies stop all this madness, or is Equestria doomed without its main characters?

This story is a sequel to Doctor Whooves: Invasion of Manehattan

After her adventure in Manehattan, Roseluck is now traveling with the Doctor, a Time Lord, in the TARDIS, anywhere in time or space. And after a quiet life in Ponyville, this is just what she needed.

But the adventures are not without danger, especially if you travels with the Doctor, because wherever he goes, the monsters follow him. Villains from his past and brand new ones stand in their way. What dangers await them both?

The sex label is for some jokes and innuendo, nothing really serious. The label for death, well if you know the Doctor you know why it's there.

The excessive use of the Alicorn amulet has had an unfortunate after-effect on the Great and Powerful Trixie now that she is no longer wearing it, even the smallest uses of her magic causes her body intense pain and crippling migraines as well as being haunted with the guilt her past actions under its influence.

Passing out in front of Ponyville's hospital, she catches the attention of a Nurse Redheart as well as The Doctor both of whom desperately trying to restore her body and her confidence in a trip to the past.

It was an average day, Zipp was out practicing her parkour skills when she happened to come across a pretty cool-looking stone. That stone's previous owner was one very special pony... a pony who once was, but now is.

She didn't ask for this. Why would she ask for this? Was it a test? A lesson? Why did it take so long..?

After an unfortunate occurrence, A Waddle Dee is from his pulled from his own dimension, Dream Land, and plunged into that of Equestria's. Everything works much differently there. It takes a long time for him to start to make his first friend, one with a shockingly similar appearance and personality to Kirby, a horrific beast capable of consuming all who appose him. He is even the mortal enemy of Waddle Dee's king, King Dedede. However, this particular creature aspires to help Waddle Dee return home.

But does he really want to?

Season 9 has come to a close, Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Chrysalis, the greatest threats Equestria has ever faced so far, have been taken down for good.

So far...

Even with all of the magic and power that exists within Equestria, no one is aware of what lies beyond it, just out of reach. Innumerable other worlds, each with their own unique laws and characters, all existing in parallel without ever knowing of each other...

All of this changes when an evil the universes have never seen appears, tearing holes in the fabric of reality itself and finally allowing these worlds to come into contact with one another, but at the cost of everything being in danger as the D@RkN3sS consumes everything it touches. All thanks to the transgressions of - [DATA ERROR].

Can Twilight and her friends, along with characters from their universe and beyond, stop what seems inevitable? Or is everything doomed to be consumed?

This is a story that revolves around the incredibly popular concept of "Learning with Pibby," which was first coined by Adult Swim in October 2021. The concept video features a glitch-like corruption that invades and destroys any world it happens to manifest in. As shown in the trailer, it threatens the existence of cartoons and animation as a whole. Of course, they can only use cartoons they own because of copyright laws. But that doesn't apply here, does it?

Welcome to When Darkness Falls, a story that follows Twilight, her friends, and many new ones, as they adventure to both survive and stop the corruption when it comes to their world.

To get the most context for what Learning with Pibby is, and to get a good idea of what to expect here, I'm going to leave a link to the official trailer HERE.

In future chapters, I will be making use of some rather unique concepts and takes to how the story is told, which depending on the reader may have mixed reaction. However, I have tried my best to make them understandable and enjoyable for everyone. These concepts aim to add a new dimension to the story and another layer of immersion for the reader.

There is also a ton of lore scattered throughout, both original lore written by me and other members of the Learning with Pibby community, as well as official lore from many of the TV shows that I use to inform the main storyline. Enough that they deserve their own blog posts rather than the Author's Notes because they'd be too long. Regardless, the Author's Notes still contain the bare minimum of what you need to understand the corresponding chapter. The blogs are more or less just for in-depth lore/explanation.

And a huge shoutout to the one person who’s helped me the most to stay motivated and confident in my work, ScorchingFlamesInc. Without them I might not have had the same level of motivation I did to finally finish this remaster. They also happen to be the author of another fic on this same concept, just a different take, which I very much recommend you check out (after you’re done here of course.)

Small Disclaimers:
-This story does change some of the main timeline of FiM, but is not an AU. Everything up until season nine is the same, but The Last Problem never happens for reasons that become evident early on.
-This story is set to be a crossover of massive proportions, and while there are only a few featured at the moment, there will be many, many characters and world’s of animation from the 90s to present day shown as either cameos or playing big roles in the grander storyline. This roster so far includes (updated as new chapters come out):
MLP: FiM, MLP: EQG, Learning with Pibby, The Fairly Oddparents and The Amazing World of Gumball.
-The tags on this story aren't indicative of what's already in the story. Rather, the tags are for safe measure, for things that aren't in the story yet, but will be down the road.

Comments and other feedback are greatly appreciated and encouraged. This story so far has proved to be a monumental task, especially for a first time writer such as myself, so your feedback and constructive criticisms are very much appreciated.

So tell me, with everything in the world. What is it you desire? Power, revenge, pleasure?
I just want to go home.
Midnight Fade is thrown into a whole new world. One without magic and his changeling powers are useless. Now he just has the unrelenting desires to go home. However that's easier said than done. Because there's no way back. So for now Midnight Fade must learn to live inside this world, but a certain farm may just be the key in order to rediscover the love that he lost.

Humans currently poses an entire intergalactic empire, the aid of their brilliant technologies, and the fundamentals of dark energy have allowed them to succeed to a type three civilisation.
A human named Jack decides to buy a planet called “Harmony” on the intergalactic market. This planet holds residence to dozens of sapient species who all are primitive lifeforms.
He decides to transform into one of the native species, with his intention to cause as much havoc/chaos as possible. At the time of his arrival, most of the world hadn’t seen conflict for well over 1000 years. He plans to change this, by encouraging new ideologies, starting a technological black powder arms race, and ultimately causing wars.

He may look evil to the natives, though according to the intergalactic government, he is implementing nothing illegal. His planet means his rules.

May or may not include Communists

This story is set in Early Season Two, a few episodes after “Return of Harmony”. This is an alternate universe and thus Equestrian girls don't exist, humans are basically just a myth.

Constructive criticism is welcome.

This story is cancelled. I'm currently working on another one, with a similar setting/universe.
