Fluttershy, afraid of how her friends would react to learning of her relationship with Discord, must make a decision. Unfortunately, neither will be happy with the result.

He just wishes she'd stay with him....

After being humiliated at school, the Cutie Mark Crusaders go to Zecora's hut in search for something that can make themselves get even with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon; and they find it in the form of a book with the word "Betelgeuse" enscribed upon it. The instructions were simple: say Betelgeuse three times. But as soon as they did, they didn't know that they were about to bring forth a disaster that only the master of chaos can fix.

Celestia is worried about her sister; Luna talks to herself constantly and refuses to go beyond the palace walls if she can help it. Thinking a kindred spirit will help, Celestia (with much additional persuasion from Fluttershy) asks Discord to spend an evening with Luna to get her to open up, even if just a little.

And much like anything involving Discord, almost none of it goes well.

This is a story that focuses on equestria as it was many many moons ago and the royal family's relationship to Starswirl the bearded.

Dear King Sol and Queen Mona,
Wherever you are I hope you are safe. Please know that your daughters will be safe in my care, and I will protect them.
After you left things changed here, the land has become much bleaker and more cold, our kind has been divided by hate and fear but things can and will change, I'll make sure of it.
Yours truly, Starswirl the bearded.

Rainbow Dash walks in on Twilight pondering her existence.

Like, really pondering her existence.

This story is a sequel to Awakening

This is the long dark night of the soul. More than 10,000 years have passed since Celestia’s reign over Equestria ended and the entire continent sank into the ocean and faded into myth and legend. Although the pony tribes have colonized the stars, the earth ponies have lost their connection to the land, the unicorns no longer think magic even exists, and the pegasus tribe has forgotten how to fly.
Although the principles of magic and friendship and Harmony are under constant assault in this age of war and strife, a pegasus named Thunder Gale has travelled to the ends of the galaxy in search of a long, lost friend of his. His search has led him to a planet where the old ways have not been entirely forgotten and evils left dormant since Celestia’s time stir once again. In order to survive the night, he’ll have to seek out guidance in the last place he ever thought of looking: the wings on his back.
Not a crossover nor an alternate universe, this is the far future and all this has happened before, and will happen again.

This story is a sequel to Stardust

Times are changing for Equestria as Twilight’s return brings with it news of people and cultures from beyond the peaceful world everypony knows. Aid and volunteers are freely offered to help the besieged humans of Earth because every Equestrian knows that’s what good friends do. Unfortunately, making friends can also have the unintended consequence of making enemies.

When the monsters besieging the humans strike at Equestria with a level of brutality not seen in over a thousand years, the cry for help is sent to all the kingdoms of the world. Honored allies step forth to fulfill ancient treaties and oaths. Enemies, old and new, bury their grievances. An alliance never before seen in Equestria will be created to combat the monsters from the void.

And because of these events, a grim but welcome sibling to the XCOM project is born.

(XCOM/FiM Crossover)
(Sequel to Stardust, which I recommend reading before starting this. Fortitude Amicitia and Broken aren't required reading but are supplemental to the storyline)
(Gore tag for blood and violence)
(Alternate Universe tag because of the divergence from canon that Stardust has caused)
(Uses elements of Season 4)
(Coverart produced by the amazing Carnelian!)
(Many thanks to Arzoo, BradTheBrony, Vandenbz and Setokaiva for prereading!)
(As of 03/07/2016, the prereading team consists of Arzoo, BradTheBrony, Noble Cause and Metallusionsismagic!)
(Complete with it's own TVTropes page as part of the Stardust continuity. Could use some updating!)
(Character tags will be added as chapters are added!)

(Possible spoilers in the comments! BEWARE!)

So, Discord's gotten the grandest idea. He's gathered all manner of chaos entities in one bar in some far off realm to discuss their problems with heroes. This can only end one way: badly, as said chaos entities are the Trickster from Supernatural, the Enterprise's very own Q, Loki from the MCU, and of course Discord himself. I myself pity those unlucky bartenders, Cthulhu and Berry Punch, who have to put up with all of this...
