Moondancer has a plan. A plan to get away from it all. Minuette has a similar plan. Hers just involves joining Moondancer on her airship and having them hunt for the fabled lost treasure of the Cloudshark.

Moondancer has a few problems with Minuette's plan.

As ponykind extends its reach to other stars, it is alarmed to find that the geocentric nature of its home star system is unique... until it isn't. Pony-settled worlds gradually slow to a stop, and the burden of moving stars and satellites is thrust into the hooves of newly-born alicorns. Prepared to face one new frontier, ponykind suddenly finds itself on the bleeding edge of a totally different one as fundamental, ancient magics warp solar systems to fit its preconceptions.

Elsewhere, for a different people orbiting distant stars, ponykind's unlikely effect on system after system has not gone unobserved. Humanity stares, agape, as physics falls apart before its eyes.

Sooner or later, inevitably, their paths of expansion will cross...

Part I: Curvature: The Weight of Worlds - Complete. An earth pony astrophysicist on Equestria's first extrasolar colony is forced to confront both the perilous nature of her existence in an unstable star system, as well as family she has wrongfully estranged. In order for the colony to survive, Curvature must escape the pull of her own crushing guilt.

Part II: Gregory of Raven's Landing: The Reach of Magic - In Progress. A young griffon ambassador to Equus must represent his colony at a conference of settled worlds. Little does he know much the shape of sentient-controlled space has changed in the last century--and what kind of attention that change has attracted.

Part III: Marie Bisset: The Shape of Space - Planning

Part IV: Hayden Davis: The Breadth of Change - Planning.

Rated T for language. The Human tag refers to the presence of human characters in the story; the ponies themselves are still ponies.

The Twilight and Luna tags are for later chapters; while they have a pretty important part to play in the overall narrative, they are not its main characters.

The prologue and first two chapters were proofread, with my endless and insufficient thanks, by Shortmane and others from the FiMFiction Discord. Seeking an editor.

It is the year 0179 of the Cloud Century. Almost two centuries have passed since the Pegasus Enclave closed the sky and cut off the toxic, uninhabitable surface world. A new home for ponykind, where pegasus ponies are born, and raised, and die.

Before the war, before the sky was cut off, something terrible was locked away. Chamomile is an average pegasus, born into a family of archaeologists and living at the edge of Enclave territory, far to the north. When she stumbles into ancient dangers and conspiracies, she finds her quiet life turned into a horror story. Can she set things right, or is the Enclave doomed?

A Fallout: Equestria sidestory. Thank you to all my readers, patreons, and well-wishers!

As always, I most look forward to seeing what references and cameos people notice. You surprise me sometimes with how you pick up on minor details!

Here's a gallery of the previous cover art, as well as a few bits of character design I put together: Gallery

Flash Sentry really needs to watch his words. Particularly when talking to certain individuals.

From the All The Time In The World writeoff.me contest where it placed 9th.

Rove Hummel was in a rut. Every day was the same; wake up, go to school, go home, and go to sleep. What he wouldn't give for something to break up the monotony.

But when he spontaneously turns into a Changeling during Biology Class, he begins to regret ever thinking that.

Rated T for usage of the F-bomb, as well as heavy innuendo, mature themes, and a single instance of off-screen sex. There is also mention of what essentially amounts to a drug in Chapter 21, but none is actually seen or used.

The sequel is here!

~~~You asked, you receive. Bonus chapter up~~~

Twilight has successfully created fake government jobs to help her terminally broke friends be less, uh, terminally broke. All they have to do is pass a simple little background check, just an easy little formality really. Should be no problem for these national heroes, right?

Right?

Well....

I guess the constituent parts of the cover art might be property of the federal gubbermint, but, honestly, I feel like I've spent enough on ATF tax stamps to make me stealing their crisp PNGs an equal exchange.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Gets a Puppy, Season 4

Twilight Sparkle, her brothers, and their friends have just dealt with Tirek, saved the breezies and grown a castle out of a small treasure chest.

The Ponyville betting pool has never had bets this wild before on what the Sparkles will do next.

Still for once they would very much like a break from all the nonsense for a while. Of course the universe has other plans.

With unstable unicorns, a tree that gives missions, dating demi gods, another suitor chasing Rahs, Song Fishies return, wanted criminals, Yaks, Discord, Friendship summits, new shops, reworking spells, crossdressing, cutie- marks, time travel, concerts, feuding families, an invasion, and the edgiest unicorn mare you have ever seen, the Sparkles and their friends find there there truly is no rest for the wicked.

[ As usual I post my Slightly dirty tag here as while there is no clop or smut, it's hinted and and conversations tend to get a little filthy, also Cadence.]

A criminal, a student, and a dangerous foe. All these titles and so many more plague her young life. Corruption is on the rise, ancient forces and new ones alike, struggling for power and control... and one mare stands at its center. Twilight will cross every line, and discover truths meant to stay buried. Her life will never be the same again, and there is a long road left ahead.

Fighters live for their next battle. They fight until they taste the dirt of defeat. But that was never supposed to be a part of Twilight Sparkle's schedule. Once, she was a promising student for Unicorns everywhere, and now... She's a bar fighter.
She says she'll leave Ponyville one day and return to her life as an accomplished scholar. But her new "friends" at Knuckle Brick Corner have made that more difficult than it needed to be.
Now she'll either have to learn to fight or learn how to fight better. As Equestria's rising contender for the most skilled fighter. Starting at the bottom of the loser's bracket.
