Be it ancient menace or new threat, diplomatic snafu or domestic concern, monster attack or friendship problem, Twilight Sparkle and her friends have always risen to the challenge.

That's a bit of an issue this time around, when the challenge is a marked absence of Twilight Sparkle.

This story is a sequel to What If...

Reading What If 1 is not necessary to understand this story. 'Tis the way of the anthology.

So, Twilight got bored again. No, she didn't go outside to touch grass for once. Y-yes, she's... yeah, she's in her study again. She's found a new quill and she swears she's going to use that lifetime supply of ink that Celestia promised her.

Ever wanted to see an author clawing at his remaining shreds of sanity at two in the morning, trying to figure out what the actual heck he's writing?

Well, guess what? This is the story for ya! Enjoy the noises of short-circuiting brain cells. :)
Mind chipping in for some new ones?

Suggestions for chapters are open, but remember to leave space for others! Keep in mind that I decide whether or not to use idea suggestions.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, one a student of Celestia, the other just getting started, are yanked from their homes by a mysterious magical mirror. Now trapped on Earth, their lives forever altered, they do their best to cope. To learn. To join Starfleet, and, someday, to return to the home they lost.

How will the friends' friendship be able to stand up against such a nasty challenge?

Based on the renowned card game: Cards Against Humanity.

This story is inspired by these great stories by Dawn Flower (Cards Against Creatures) and BronyOverlord (Cards Against Starlight)

In the year 2398, the Federation starship USS Sunset Shimmer (NCC-61613), a brand new Faustian-class dreadnought starship christened a year ago, is sent to Deep Space 9, which is under threat from a giant Aridaginatan siren-shaped starship. 34 year old Captain Becky Ray Shoichet, who is in charge of the Sunset Shimmer, manages to destroy the siren ship, but not long before the Aridaginatans escaped in a pendant-like ship, creating a temporal vortex which the enemy disappears through. The Sunset Shimmer follows them through the vortex, ending up in the year 2014, which 384 years into the past. The crew are aware the Aridaginatans are plotting to destroy the person the ship is named after, which will erase the ship from existence.

Meanwhile, the human Sunset Shimmer and her friends are practicing for an upcoming cruise. But as Sunset is now a target of the Aridaginatans, she must seek the help of the Starfleet officers. Will she, the girls, and the crew of her starship namesake, along with another starship, work together to defeat the Aridaginatans? Or will both CHS and Starfleet crumble? Find out more.

Rated T for destroyed starships, redshirts dying, quantum torpedoes hitting buildings, and of course, phasers set to kill. Also, character death.

This story is a sequel to Star Trek: Nemesis

This takes place in the following timelines:

ST: Between Star Trek: Nemesis and the upcoming Picard sequel series.
EQG: Between Rollercoaster Of Friendship and the upcoming spring cruise special.

The planet of Chikyu is pretty odd, from an outsider perspective. There are anthromorphic sapients of every stripe and sort, the world president is a dog, its greatest warriors are alien monkeys, the average IQ (outside genius scientists or children) is somewhere below 50, and magic orbs raise the dead. How much difference would adding a pony that barely talks really make?
...quite a lot, apparently. Just ask Mr. Popo...if you dare.

He was an alien raised by humans, torn between two worlds and belonging to neither. His efforts thwarted, he found himself descending into madness, destined to be consumed by the nightmare he was becoming.

She was a loner, withdrawn and anti-social. When one whose regard she valued above all others turned away, she sank into darkness and despair. The madness waited.

The madness drove him to decide that if the world could not accept his enlightenment, it would suffer his madness.

The madness drove her to decide that if the world had no place for her, then it could do without her.

Sometimes, it takes another broken soul to help put your pieces back together.

After the invasion of Canterlot, Tempest Shadow - also know as Fizzlepop Berrytwist - struggled to make a place for herself in Equestria among the ponies she once conquered. Unfortunately, it seemed not everyone could be as forgiving as the Princess of Friendship, and she found it somewhat difficult. She found herself wishing for a second chance at a first impression.

She really should have checked who was listening first.

Worlds and years away, can she manage to grow into a different pony and try to make it home? And what will this wish cost her?
