At the end of Goodbye Deponia, we never truly saw Rufus die, did we? And what's not to say he that didn't? Rufus has had plenty of deadly falls before. Still, he never had one that dropped him into another world! Now the deponian soon finds himself in an unfamiliar land filled with the most unusual inhabitants who pride themselves on harmony. Fortunately for Rufus, the natives's make the horrible mistake of offering him the hospitality of staying.

Talent. Its important in everything. Whether it be a job or a sport, talent is everything, that is fate...but what if a man born without talent reaches the pinnacle of his world? If only for a second? Well then, he becomes a fatebreaker

Pumping out stories left and right. When will I actually finish any of them though? Anyway, take this and leave. Art credits are me and me alone (I'm so cool)

Written for hlindalae for Jinglemas 2023

Hearth's Warming Eve has arrived. A day for spending time with loved ones, but for a certain cyan pony this year will become something more. She has a plan and all it needs is a little help from her dear friend, Twilight.

Featuring a very confused Soarin, a plotting Rainbow Dash, and an annoyed Twilight Sparkle.

Luster Dawn had always been curious and ambitious so when she was tasked to research about a magical mirror, she didn’t waste any time! Too bad her mother banned her from going further into it, under the reason of “being too much” for her.

We’ll just see about that!

This story takes place during the Season Five finale, "The Cutie Re-Mark". As such, there are spoilers ahead.

Starlight Glimmer's plan is working. All she has to do is upset Rainbow Dash's rainboom-creating race in the past, and Twilight Sparkle's connection with her friends will be severed. And she's done it. Repeatedly. Sure, Twilight can go back in time to try and stop her, but Starlight will always be brought back as well. No matter what Twilight tries, no matter how many times she returns, she can't stop Starlight. They're evenly-matched, and it's much easier to disrupt events than it is to preserve them.

That means Starlight wins, right?

It was a normal day. As normal as Celestia shuffling her off to some backwater town in the middle of the morning could be. Spike was yammering, ponies were getting on her nerves, the coming celebration that night was weighing on her mind. And then she'd gone to the town hall to meet with Rarity. They were greeted by somepony's daughter and Spike hadn't said a word since. Not when the filly talked to him for over an hour. Not when the pegasi with the birds was asking all sorts of questions on his health. What on earth had gotten into him?

What is a pony? If asked that question the average citizen of Equestria would probably respond with a confused look and a mention of the three pony tribes. A particularly astute pony might reply with four tribes, remembering to include the Thestrals. A pony of a scholarly disposition may also add a list of characteristics as well - manes, cutie marks, some form of innate magic, hooves, vegetarian diet, etc. This is the answer that would have been received for thousands of years, from before the unification of the three tribes until very recently. Until the failed Changeling invasion. With the reveal of something so foreign, yet at the same time so familiar, what it means to be a pony is no longer quite so clear and obvious. And while professors and philosophers argue, another question is forgotten in the uproar: What if the Changelings weren't the only ones who were hiding?

Twilight isn't great at dancing. Spike knows it. Her friends know it. Even the poor souls who witnessed it first hoof on her birthday party in Canterlot knows it. But that hasn't stopped her from enjoying herself while "busting a move". So when Twilight receives an invite to a party being hosted by DJ Pon3, she eagerly accepts.

However, she's more than aware that everypony finds her dancing skills lacking. To solve this and impress everypony she decides to do a little research on the subject.

In the end she'll impress everypony alright, and it's not because she studied beforehand either.

Twilight never wanted this. All she wanted was to live a happy life with her friends. Though she can’t even have that anymore now.
It was a simple spell, just a small alteration she made to make it better, to let her peek into the future. How could it have all gone so wrong. Why did fate have to be so cruel

Music is a pony who has seen horrors far beyond her years, and John is a dorky scientist who happened to be on a hike at the same time Music was running away.
What insight will he gain into this hurt pony's past?
Note: this is a companion to this story, and that should be read before this.
