Rainbow Dash learns that she has a sister, whose current whereabouts and status are completely unknown. It's not even known if she's alive.

Trixie discovers from a doctor that she has a sister who resides in Ponyville, and now has the chance to visit the family she never knew.

If you can't see where this is going yet, I won't spoil anything. Just read on and (hopefully) enjoy! :)

- Act I (You Are Here) - Act II - Act III

Applejack begins to notice suspicious behavior in her friend Twilight. As she presses for the truth, she discovers the truth about their world.

They are not alone.

Somewhere, there is another Equestria, another world in which copies of the Element Bearers live different lives, unaware of the destiny that was almost theirs. A world shrouded in darkness.

As these two worlds begin to collide, six strangers will discover that they must inherit the mantles passed down by their alternate selves and become heroes in a world without rainbows.

(Very) loosely inspired by the television show Fringe.

Trope Page

"Good job, you really are a lot like I was when I was a kid. Keep up the good work. Some day you might be just like me."

When she first heard those words, Diamond Tiara was excited. A rich and powerful business pony said one day she could be just like her. What was not to like?

Then it all came crashing down as the insidious Checker Monarch's web of deception was pulled away, revealing a sociopathic monster willing to torment her own family if it got her what she wanted.

Not only did Diamond Tiara see a pony she admired fall from grace, she witnessed something far worse. Her potential future self. The monster she could be if nothing changed.

Can Diamond Tiara change the winds of fate and alter her future? Or will the nightmare the monstrous Checker Monarch unleashed be repeated?

A direct sequel to Trixie's Getting Back On Your Hooves, taking place next in line chronologically.

Twilight Sparkle has too much magic, and it will take her decades to learn to control it. Her spectacular loss of control during her entrance exam only proves that fact. She is a danger to herself and others.

After Sunset Shimmer’s disappearance, Princess Celestia needs a new student to bear The Element of Magic to defeat Nightmare Moon. With all of Equestria at stake, Twilight Sparkle…is not the pony she needs.

Princess Celestia seals Twilight Sparkle’s magic with the distant promise of one day teaching her.

But there are two diarchs of Equestria. Amidst a lucid dream, an offer is made.

“Hello, Twilight. Would you like to be my student?”

Spike’s been adjusting well to having a castle as his new home. Initially, he thought that things would remain exactly the way they always were, only, the box had given them seven chairs instead of just six. Each of them bore the mark of the Elements, whereas the seventh remained bare, was much smaller and was positioned right next to Twilight’s. It seemed that Spike had finally been recognized and given a place within the group, but what exactly did that signify?

He hadn’t used a key and most certainly wasn’t one of the Elements. While Twilight and the rest were all established as Equestria’s best line of defense, the most Spike had ever accomplished was getting lucky against King Sombra. Although being presented with a new position of power, he was still plagued with doubt. Spike’s thoughts were nervous at the best of times and extremely self-doubting at the worst.

Still entirely unsure of his position amongst his friends, he gets paid a visit from the future by a pony who carries a grave warning for the past. Only Spike may save the future, but at what cost?

And just what dangers does the future hold?

Rainbow Dash and her friends are off to Canterlot to help in the preparations for the wedding of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor! But once she arrives, Rainbow learns of a sinister plot against Equestria. What's worse, she can't even rely on her friends to help her because one of them is not who she seems...

Twilight and her five friends are transported during a botched spell, across dimensions to... Ponyville, Equestria? But not the same one that they knew. Sitting on a bench is Harpsy and Babar. The Doctoress avoids apples from an aspiring Applebuck. And in a library across town, six stallions join their forces as they try to decipher the appearance of filly look-alikes of themselves around Ponyville!

In the magical realm of Good King Sombra, two magistrates dispense justice with a smile on their lips and a song in their hearts.

Inspired by the stained-glass windows in the AU Mirrorverse in the IDW comics arc 17-20, “Reflections.”

Note: The lyrics are all original. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad one is up to you.

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, in another crusade gone awry, find themselves brought to a world very much like their own.

Except that here, Cutie Marks are considered evil and an organization known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, composed entirely of blank flanks, fight to end the tyranny of the marked.

Adding to the fillies confusion and culture shock, their counterparts in this backwards world are heralded as some of the best the organization has to offer and are expected to battle alongside their fellow blank flanks.

Making things worse are the enemies they're supposed to face. What the other operatives call villains, a large chunk of them they call friends.

The three fillies must now find a way to return home and keep their sanity intact as all they have believed in is put to the most bizarre and backwards test of their young lives.

Twilight sparkles wakes up to some bad news.
Apparently she went crazy with magic and decided to try to take over the world, including Equestria.
Oddly enough, this has been working out rather well.
Unfortunately for her she seems to of forgotten most of it.
Goodluck Twilight!
