A fun side story to Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship(Season 1).

Following the events of James Cameron's Avatar, Pandora has returned to a state of relative peace. Jake and Neytiri lead the Ometicaya in their quest to find a new home. The Navi across Pandora look to a brighter future, but they also keep close watch of the sky, haunted by the war's memory still fresh.

Meanwhile, the Resource Development Administration finds itself with a bad quarterly statement and upset shareholders, some more upset than others. Although some see the operation on Pandora as a total failure, others have seen it as a learning opportunity, one that has more to teach still...

Rated Teen for mild language and some pervy humour

This story is a sequel to Message in a Bottle

For numberless eons, Equus hosted primitive civilizations, ignorant of the proud achievements of their ancient race. In their simple lives, ponies and other creatures could grow without fear of alerting any of the terrible forces that grew in the galaxy beyond. All civilization had been extinguished by forces beyond comprehension. If they made too much noise, Equestria would be next.

Then came James Irwin, with the truth the Harmony superintelligence that maintained the vast Niven Ring had already known: the galaxy was safe again, and probably had been for many centuries.

Once the truth was revealed, Equestria again longed for the stars. Surely they could not be the only survivors of that galactic Red Tide that had swallowed all intelligent life. Their searching bore fruit: radio signals from a nearby system.

Felicity was the Alicorn chosen to captain that mission of discovery. She would bring the pony gift of friendship to a fellow survivor somewhere out there. That was the plan, anyway.

Unfortunately for Equestria, intelligence does not imply friendliness.

A tale of understanding and discovery set in the world of Message in a Bottle. Reading that story first is highly recommended.

This story was written as a Patreon commission for Lithl over the course of over two years now. It comes to fimfiction now that it is nearly finished.

Big Mac and Cheerilee are happily married. Or so it would seem. Applejack just can't shake the feeling that something is off.

Twilight seems to have run into an unexpected disaster. The mystery that Twilight falls prey to goes on unsolved, but isn't there at least one pony out there willing to help this distressed unicorn? Maybe three?

Cover art by me, I guess. I don't really know if I need to link myself to my own story.

Twilight Sparkle rules Equestria as the new sole monarch.
Three years have passed since her coronation and the kingdom had enjoyed a time of relative peace under her watchful eye, while she and the rest of her friends went on to live their own separate lives without losing contact or forgetting their friendship.

But even with everything running smoothly, in the world of light there will always be a shadow that lurks beneath. The ancient darkness of Equestria, which was believed to be a little more than a fairy tale and known only by those whose lifetime transcends the Two Sisters, is about to re-emerge and has found itself agents through whom to execute its will.

Will the power of friendship be enough to stop the darkness, when there is no light to take its place?
