Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson have solved many cases together. They've seen death, destruction, and more in their line of work. In short, they have come to expect the unexpected.

They never could have predicted they would be turned into ponies. Or sent to Equestria. Or that there would be a case there steeped in magic, fear, blood and betrayal.

Buckle up, kiddies. It's about to get weird.

Both Sherlock and Watson are from the BBC series Sherlock. Takes place after Baskerville, before the last episode of the second season.

New chapter every Sunday!

Due to it coming out after I started writing this, Rainbow Rocks both did and didn't happen. Only Equestria Girls 1 is canon to this story. Meaning that there may be references to Rainbow Rockz but it will never be acknowledged as having actually happened.

Twilight sparkle is your average girl. Except she's a genius. So to start off her senior year in high school she's transferred to the most prestigious [non-private] school in town: Cantalot High.
It's not really a big deal. She wasn't really that close with any of her friends from her old school and never really hung out that much anyway. She'll make one or two new friends here but really she'll just blend in and be another new student at the start of the year. Nothing more, nothing less... right?
Nope.
Turns out last year there was another girl who looked exactly like her and had the same name came to this school for only three days, got the entire school to vote for her as prom-queen, turned into an angel, fought a demon and then danced with the hottest guy in the school, all before returning to her home planet.
So that 'nothing more, nothing less' plan's kinda gone out the window.

The first chapter or two are a little bit dark but that’s pushed aside pretty quickly. Mostly at least, I mean the story needs some conflict after all. By chapter 3 and the whole fitting in ascept over takes it.
Originally planned to be four chapters long it was perfectly on track with that for the first three chapters. Then by that point I had gotten to many future ideas to stop.
So prepare yourself for seemingly random [though ALL of it is thoroughly planned out] encounters and my own stupid head-canon as Twilight meets the mane 6 of whom which Summer Sunset is one, her other self's former love interest Flash 'Brad' Sentry, Great and Powerful background humans including Applejack, teacher's each with their own crazy zainy quirts, Spike the 200 pound muscle-bound pitbull of absolute adorableness and whatever the CMC are called in this universe... let's call them the KND.
And of course tons of shipping jokes but there's no actual shipping in it. That last part may or may not be true.
Also that's just the way I spell Cantalot and I know it's technically wrong.

I started writing this in late October, before S4 so blame any canon errors on that and/or not caring under the guise of 'alternate universe!'.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*

Lyra meets a few strange figures in Ponyville: some stallions & mares all dressed in black suits who ask her how she knows humans. After her interview, she follows them and find out she's discovered a secret group of ponies the not even Celestia knows. They're the Mares in Black: protecting Equestria from other dimensional creatures that aren't even a part of Equestria with technology that isn't even known. She has 2 choices: Join the Mares in Black & Protect their world from unknown dangers or have her memory erased & go back to her normal life.

This is the first book of The Humanity Within Trilogy. Its sequel is What I've Done.

I wasn't always like this, a monster, running through the woods on an alien planet. I was once a man. I had dreams, a girlfriend, and a great job.
Then They came. In the middle of the night, They scooped me from my home, and... changed me.

Now I'm a beast, a demon the like of which the world I've become stranded on has never seen before, scraping by on the fringes of society, hiding from the natives, and doing my best to avoid notice.

After all, who could ever be friends with a monster?

The night is young. It has been a week since the Battle of the Bands. An argument breaks out at a dining room table, with three teenage girls. Someone gets thrown out.

Even unable to sing well, a siren is never silent.

This is how it feels to be Sonata Dusk, right now.

While lounging around Twilight's castle and airing some friendship-related grievances, Discord stumbles across a magic book containing letters from an inter-dimensional pen pal. As it just so happens, this pen pal also had sinister designs for Equestria, but was quashed by the Elements of Harmony. What's more, she's made amends since that day, and she's now Twilight's friendship student. Eager to bond with someone who can relate to him on a personal level and grow into a better draconequus, Discord packs his bags and heads off to the human world with Twilight's semi-blessing. His mission: Befriend Sunset Shimmer.

However, his plan has a bit of a snag. See, Sunset hasn't been keeping up with Equestrian events, and she never got the memo about Discord turning over a new leaf. As such, she believes that his sudden appearance doesn't bode well for Equestria, Canterlot High, or herself. Not only this, but the Sirens are privy to Discord's return as well, and they see this as a golden opportunity to bounce back from their own recent defeat. Well, Adagio does, anyway. Sonata doesn't want to live in a world that makes no sense, and Aria would rather maintain what little dignity she has left by not getting involved (or so she claims).

So while Discord is trying to earn Sunset's trust and show her what a good friend he is now, Adagio is trying to get in on an evil scheme that doesn't exist. And while that is going on, Sonata is appealing to the Rainbooms behind Adagio's back, hoping that they'll make Discord go away. With so much miscommunication thrown into the mix, you just know that hijinks are inevitable. Good thing Aria made popcorn.

After all that they have been through, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle's bond has grown into a strong and deep friendship. But as their relationship continues to mature, they will have to face challenge after challenge that will put the bond between them to the test.
