One moment, they were there.

The next, they were gone.

The ponies of Equestria find themselves in Earth's ancient past, as dinosaurs. While Spike and Twilight's human friends attempt to find out what happened and how to retrieve the ponies, they are in a struggle for survival, some in groups, some alone.

Will anypony ever make it back home?

Author's Note: If anyone wants to try to make a cover-art image for this story, go for it. I'll evaluate and decide if I want it to be the cover-art.

Even in the golden heart of Canterlot, ponies are not safe from crime. From petty theft to vicious murder, somepony has to keep the streets safe. Somepony has to pick up the pieces. Somepony has to find the criminals before they strike.
Luckily, they don't do a brilliant job - or I'd be out of work.
So, hello there - the name's Nocturne - investigator of obscure crime, back-alley stabbings, and part-time foal-sitter. Currently working for the least successful private detective agency in the whole of Canterlot.
Oh - and the prime suspect in a high profile murder.
That last bit might be the most important, actually...

Tree Hugger's affinity for all things natural is perhaps her most notorious trait. All beings, be they big or small, flora or fauna, predator or prey, are beautiful in her eyes. She would never bear to see anything in nature mistreated.

So when a distant crisis forces Fluttershy to abandon her animals in a time of need, Tree Hugger teams up with Zecora to solve the mystery behind their strange ailment.

In a world where war and conflict is being waged seemingly just beyond his busy Mining Town, Iron Rail's problem seems to take up more of his thoughts then impending destruction. Maybe a walk will help him clear his head, and if he meets a friend along the way?

Well, it can’t possibly make things worse?

This is my first story and a love letter to everyone whose worked on a story with me and/or has just been a good friend!
This work is set in the same universe as the story Same Heart, Different Days By DrySpell but largely unconnected.
