Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is the center of magical research in Equestria. Since Apple Bloom developed a love of potion making and an interest in the theory behind magic, she recognizes what an honor it would be to study there. But that would also mean being the only non-unicorn student to ever attend, leaving her friends and family, and moving to a strange city... and that's if she can pass an entrance exam designed to select the most magically gifted unicorns.

Spike has never wanted more than to be Twilight's number one assistant. But when Twilight points out that there's a pony right in front of him who needs an experienced assistant even more than she does, it means considering a life where he's making the most of his talents... but one without Twilight by his side.

For both of them, facing hard decisions are just part of growing up.

Now with a TVTropes page!

A strange blue box crash lands in the middle of the Everfree Forest to be discovered by Twilight and Spike. The Doctor stumbles out of it and makes the shocking discovery that he's accidentally traversed to another universe entirely! Ready to test his new four legs in this universe, the Doctor does what comes naturally to the renegade Time Lord; jumps cutie mark first into danger.

I would first like to thank the story My Princess Alluring by Lapiz-Lazuli and Inky J. You guys did some fantastic work with that. And I make this fanfiction in your honor. Kinda.

The cover image, it's not mine, and I will take it down if the artist contacts me.

I have a friend encouraging me to write this, bless his heart.

Paradoxes don't normally occur. But when they do, they can be quite... life changing. In a universe, quite different from that which is known, many things can be different.
Say that, Shining Armor never was born. Sombra never existed. The Crystal Kingdom never did stand.

...Twilight Sparkle wasn't born a mare.
Maybe it's life that has to be seen played out to understand...

This story is a sequel to Spiders and Magic: Rise of Spider-Mane

Meanwhile, Princess Twilight Sparkle is getting used to her new home after the destruction of her precious library. She decides to come to terms with her new position as the Princess of Friendship and tries to figure out what her duties are and what they mean to her life now. So, how can she cope when a stranger literally drops from the sky, causing trouble almost instantly?

An alternate universe story, in which Twilight Sparkle was born a pegasus, not a unicorn. Because of this, she isn't Princess Celestia's personal student at the School for Gifted Unicorns, and she can't wield the Element of Magic. Can she still help save the world from Nightmare Moon? Or will she fall under the dark powers of nightmares?

This was somewhat inspired by Rainbooms and Royalty, a story in which Princess Celestia picks Rainbow Dash to be her personal student.

Discord is reformed and now on the path towards becoming a productive member of society. To help him stay on the straight and narrow, Fluttershy begins to write letters to him, with the two quickly becoming pen pals. With their sharing of letters, Fluttershy begins to learn more about the conundrum known as Discord, while Discord learns what it truly means to be a friend.

Collaboration with the totally awesome Flint Sparks! If you enjoyed the story, then definitely check this guy out!
