This story is a sequel to Convergence

Equestria was just a game, one of an endless number of semi-illicit online games created to take advantage of the ubiquity of cheap augmented reality hardware. But that changed, when for no reason anyone knows, the virtual population of Equestria woke up.

Two decades have gone by since then, and the world has been transformed. The former game network has grown to encompass the backbone of trade, infrastructure, and research the western world over. Its vast computational resources have given rise to an infinitely subdivided world of overlays and sublayers, coterminous with the various cities and towns within Equestria. Every person in the modern world is assigned a Synth, a pony personal assistant that adapts to their needs and helps them access those parts of the world governed by Equestria's systems.

It is a world Dakota barely remembers, thanks to an automobile accident that turned most of her body to mush. But thanks to the medical miracles created by joint equestrian-human research, her life is saved by a remarkably new series of implants.

But Dakota isn't content to sit around while her body slowly knits itself together. There are unanswered questions to answer, questions that will ultimately lead her to the oldest mystery of both worlds.

This isn't part of the Optimalverse, or any other established fan-universe.

Effective immediately, this series is now cancelled for a rewrite.

As they tread upon the other side of a Dimensional Gate, two companions scout the area in search of a group of traitors from their world into a strange land. A land ruled by magic instead of cogs and gears. A land untouched by a hundred years of war. A land until today, protected from alien incursions. A land where equine creatures talk and the mythical exists.

Set a month after season 9's "The Ending of the End", the Mane 6 will find that even strangers from a world traumatized by the Great War, Comradery holds a greater bond than iron.

While this is my first fanfic, this story touches one of the many worlds and races my sister and I put together so technically this is a crossover of sorts to "a wider web" of other (potential) stories. However, no prior info is needed to get into the plot and story as I hope this will be the first of many to connect the "wider web" I was referring to.

Commander Shepard was ready to sacrifice her life to destroy the Reapers, so she was quite shocked when she didn’t die, but awoke in a mysterious forest. Without knowing how she got there, she was stranded on a distant planet. There she met a new species: The Ponies. A kind people, who offered her help to get back to council space. But what exactly happened to the universe in Shepard’s absence? A new danger arose on the horizon ready to extinguish the one, who defeated the Reapers, and everybody she loved.

Aradia Megido is a bit of an odd duck. She's been a ghost, part frog, a robot, and a deity- and she has this unhealthy obsession with death. She's been traveling existence looking for fascinating things - for a long, long time. She's ready for a change. And just like that, something calls to her from a world she's never seen before - an encouragement to drop by and visit.

So she goes to Equestria just to see what's there. It doesn't take long for her to realize that there's going to be a plethora of time shenanigans, loops, and alternate timelines. But she finds the prospect of that exciting - even if she has no idea how far it goes.

Crossover with Homestuck. Reading Homestuck is not required, though there are spoilers.

Also serves as an optional prelude to Songs of the Spheres.

Despite having an incredibly large population, the human race was feeling alone. Searching for other intelligent lifeforms proved useless. But what if they could create it themselves?

In the far future, a pair of ponies make a discovery that will change everything, and will make ponykind question their own nature.

For four years, a pair of alien observers have been living in Ponyville under assumed identities, performing cultural studies and avoiding unwelcome attention.

Luna and Celestia's fight took a rather different turn from in most universes. Instead of assuming a corrupted form, Luna took those who supported her and left for the moon, where she and her followers still live a thousand years later. But sooner or later, worlds must collide, and when the ponies of the moon meet the ponies of Equestria, the sisters' conflict won't be so easy to resolve.

First in the Worlds-verse, and a part of the greater The Powers That Be multiverse.

This story is a sequel to The Olden World

For eighteen years, Equestria's northern neighbors have been at peace.

Despite instability further to the north and far to the east, the Theocracy of Yakyakistan and the technological powerhouse of Ironridge have walked the road of friendship, sharing their best and brightest minds in the remote mountain research colony of Icereach. An underground city built by scientists, for scientists, Icereach is the crucible of the most advanced technology in the world, as well as some of the loftiest dreams: sending ponies into space, and perhaps setting hoof on the moon.

But Icereach has never even sent up a rocket, let alone a random teenager like big-dreaming me. It feels like we've been months away from a proper launch for years now, and no one quite seems to care why. For that matter, there are a lot of things no one questions about Icereach, like why there's an ancient chapel in the deepest part of the caves. Or why historical data in our libraries is censored seemingly at random. Or what we even expect to find out there, beyond the stars.

Maybe it's because I'm not a real scientist, but I feel like I'm the only one more interested in the big picture than getting my name on some invention or other. They say Icereach is the pinnacle of civilization, but there has to be more to life than this...

This story takes place eighteen years after the events of The Olden World and can be read fully standalone. Having read The Olden World is not required.
