After spending some more time with Scootaloo, Twilight starts to wonder about her home life.
Her discovery has her want to give Scootaloo the family she deserves. She should have no problems with Spike and Rainbow Dash there to help.

Warning: contains small amounts of twidash, scootadopt, cuteness, and ponies

Starts after the episode "Twilight Time" but before "Maud Pie"

We walk down our long roads of life, but what of the roads not taken? Twilight and Applejack are carried along a different path, where their fates were bound in new ways. Fresh sorrows and avoided crisis gives friendship's flower a new shape.

This story will make an alternative universe, but will start grounded in the world we know. Have you read my other works? I love canon. I will respect canon, but we are also changing a core fact, and its effects will ripple outward. Our beloved ponies will be changed, as they must. The stream of fate carries them on tides we never witnessed before.

Twilight, Applejack, I hope you're both ready. Come, the water's fine, and I invite you to swim with me. Let us see what would happen if Applejack's mother survived where fate had once demanded her end.

Done for a patron, will update 1/month with 4k chapters.

This story is a sequel to Undead Robot Bug Crusaders

Apple Bloom is an undead ghoul, but that's OK. She's finally come to terms with her condition, and is determined to rise above her curse.

Sweetie Belle is a robot, but that's OK. With manual in hoof, she's prepared to learn everything she can about herself, and whatever the future holds.

Scootaloo is a changeling, but that's OK. Changelings are citizens now, and she's ready to do her part to show the world changelings can be friendly too.

Together, the three of them are getting by, one day at a time. They may never get their cutie marks, but that's not going to stop them from having fun, finding their talents, and maybe even going a week without causing massive amounts of property damage. Maybe.

Meanwhile, Babs Seed is still blissfully unaware of the unusual destiny that awaits her, Diamond Tiara is slowly finding her place in the world, and Ponyville is still the weirdest town in Equestria. But then again, what else is new?

There comes a point when you can no longer run from the things you've done. Ryan Williams believes that he has reached this point, but sometimes, just as we are about to close one door, another opens before us, changing our lives in ways we could never have imagined.

Go give it (and his channel) some love :D

Through the inky void, the TARDIS escaped into the vortex on to a preset destination. The Doctor is in trouble and he's sent his trusty space-time machine out to one of his trusted friends from long ago in his life. The TARDIS lands on Twilight Sparkle's doorstep, years after he last left her to answer a call from his own race. The Doctor is calling for help but he had little time to prepare any kind of plan. The exact details of what happened are locked within his 900-year diary, which is encrypted with a scrambling spell so nopony may dwell upon its contents.

With no other way to find the instructions to help, she decides that she has to read the book all the way through in order to bypass the advanced spell. But the creatures of the void have followed behind, and an amnesiac mare with an alleged connection to the Doctor is the only thing to escape its grasp. The future fate of the Doctor lies in Twilight's hooves, a mare with an unknown past, and the 900 years of written words.

*An AU extended ending to Season 8 - "Father Knows Beast"*

It's been days since the greedy manipulator Sludge was revealed to have lied about being Spike's Father. Spike, originally excited to have had an actual dragon as a parental figure, now fears he will never have a family outside of Twilight to call his own.

However, despite Spike's hesitations, Twilight insists that he goes on a mission to tell each of their close friends what happened in regards to Sludge's scheme and form a bond with them. Spike has his doubts though as he fears the others aren't family and will reject him. Nevertheless, he sets out on a very personal mission.

How will each pony react to finding out that the baby dragon was taken advantage of as an excuse for room and board? Will they be able to help Spike and show that they love him? Will Spike discover that there's more to a family than he originally thought?
