Graduation day was supposed to go smoothly. Sunset Shimmer and her friends were NOT expecting the plinth that holds the portal to Equestria to suddenly explode with rogue magic.

Dealing with the problem is only the beginning, as Sunset discovers when, testing the portal to see if it still works properly, finds herself not in Equestria, but a completely different world from either of her own. And as she'll soon discover, the magic has once again come here with her.

To a little slice of suburban hell called Lawndale...

A crossover with MTV's Daria.

Twilight is ruler of Equestia.

She has her own intern named Luster Dawn.

Life is good. But she might have just pulled a Celestia.

It's a brand new day for Sunny Starscout and her friends, the magic of Equestria restored and the tribes united, it was new chapter in the lives of the mane 5. What better way to enjoy your hard work than enjoying it with your friends?

That is what would've happened, if it weren't for a strange statue appearing out of nowhere. Now pushed to play a tempting game with a creature of chaos, Sunny and friends will have to accept just to win a prize that could be a one in lifetime chance.

Post Mlp New Generation, spoilers of course.

Meet Ditch.

Ditch is the caretaker at the Canterlot Cemetery. He lives a calm life involving digging, burying, seldom... well, occasional... alright, habitual drinking, and generally managing the place and its residents to the best of his abilities.

Ditch enjoys his job. The salary is not enough to live, but sufficient not to die, the graveyard shifts are not graveyard shifts, and the clients are calm and docile, even if a little bit stiff. Canterlot ponies, right? But Ditch does not mind. They don’t complain and loyally catch some due rest.

Except for when they suddenly don’t.

This story is a sequel to A Dream

Sometimes you have to give up on a dream. When that happens, the only thing to do is get a second dream, a new dream, a better dream where you get internet points for being an edgy horse.

Reading the previous story not required

Deciding to pay her old friend, Princess Twilight, a visit, Sunset Shimmer returns to find Equestria no longer the “friendly” kingdom she remembered.

Looking for answers, she joins a rag tag team of young ponies, who hope to make Equestria the kingdom it once was.

Contains spoilers from MLP: A New Generation.

(MLP G5) The ever immortal Applejack, wandering the lands of a divided Equestria, laments how much ponies had forgotten the lessons and magic of friendship. Set in the early days of the new generation five era, our lonely ageless earth pony looks for bright glimmers of hope in an age that sees her only as a legend...

Sequel: Left Behind: Sunny Disposition
Apparently it was scouted and is on EqD too

Nightmare Moon was meant to be released after a thousand years. A momentous occasion for her but terrifying for all the ponies on her day of freedom. She would get revenge on her sister and cover the world in darkness and shape everything to fit it.

That was the plan, at least. Instead, something went awry with the spell and she wasn't released when she was supposed to be. The mare-in-the-moon is brought into a world with stagnated technology, giant cities, and no sign of her sister or any of the other immortals. In fact, ponies don't seem terrified of her at all, and the stay within the core of her powers infused and changed the alicorn's body drastically.

The alicorn had no obstacles left! But...she was also a relic of the past. A past everyone seemed to have forgotten. A past she could no longer look upon.

Big thanks to Kryostase for helping spot errors I've missed.

AU in where Twilight is a dragon but still is Princess Celestia's student. Twilight has a more logical head on her shoulders and takes her job as a caretaker to Spike more seriously than canon.
