This story is a sequel to The Wizzard and the Pony
The fate of the Disc, and, in fact, an entire swath of the Universe containing it, depends on the actions of Star Swirl the Bearded. Unfortunately, he left the Disc some weeks ago, and now the repercussions of that departure are being felt.
Rincewind, reluctant as ever, at the behest of the Disc's only known female wizard, must find a way to follow Star Swirl the Bearded and get him back, before the Disc is not only destroyed, but is made to have never existed in the first place.
No pressure, then.
Chapters (1)
Excellent beginning. I was always a fan of all of Sir Terry's series.
His death was a great loss to us all.
Haven't read your prior story yet, but I'll be starting on it.
As for the source of peril. Are we talking about "Nothing" as in 'Neverending Story' nothing?
Wow. In all honesty, I wasn't expecting to see this story until 2016 at the earliest. This is a very pleasant surprise.
As for the cause of the Neverending Story-like peril... Well, I don't exactly remember much of the earlier story. I'm going to have to get back to you on that one.
Huzzah! I prefer to think of Rincewind as somewhat of a human Thaumeter⁽*⁾, only more of a disaster detector that any Discworld insurance salesperson⁽¹⁾ would be well-aware of the location thereof, because that is where the agency's policies need cancelling as quickly as possible.
Oh dear, Clothahumps been messing around with the roots of all existence again.
Somebody better get Pinkie. Its a code 505.

Only on the Disc, though. In Equestria, the thaum is defined as the amount of magic needed to summon one standard reference orange.
The peril is
Starswirl never went back in time to talk to himself.

It is that order of Nothing, but not from the same source.

I'm getting back into the groove, boy you've got to prove your lo--- I'm getting back into the swing of writing. Finishing off The Wizzard and the Pony proved just the kick in the trousers I needed.

Wow, there's a name I haven't seen in forever. Eh, I'm sure Jon-Tom can handle it. On the other hand, the thought of Pinkie learning about Spellsinging is kind of... I think the word I'm looking for is horrifying?
5758512
I rather like that.

You, sir, win an internet!

Well, there has been one attempt to import the concept of insurance (in-sewer-ants) to Ankh-Morpork, thanks to Twoflower. It... did not end well. Also, I love that the pun "echo-gnomics" was only ever alluded to and never said in The Colour of Magic. Just filled me with giddy glee.

Why play one physiologically incompatible reality altering magical instrument, when you can play Ten.
Just gonna tag this and get to it this weekend. I'm glad to see you writing again, that said, now I just need to see a certain crafty thief of yours again...
A sequel to a crossover of one of my favorite book series* with one of my favorite cartoons** named after not only my other favorite book series***, but my favorite book from that series, using a brilliant pun involving the title of my third favorite character**** from the first mentioned series?*****
*That would be the one with the footnotes
**Cartoons don't have footnotes silly
***Despite it lacking footnotes
****Being beaten only by Vimes and the "Final Footnote" himself.
*****I think I may have gone slightly overboard on footnotes.*******
******Dang it I did another one. *GAH NO MORE!
You forgot to post the link to this in the first story.
Well, the disc got Harmony for the first time in existence, then got said Harmony removed due to ponies and the Elements of Harmony leaving. That alone should cause such a big unbalance than unless some heroic deeds are those, the story of the disc would have to be reset so Harmony was never there in the first place, meaning that literally, existence is what's in danger. Of course saving said existence means time travel.

I've been meaning to...
5776075 Actually new forces do come and stay in Discworld. So Harmony was introduced via Celestia/Luna/Starswirl, but because this is Discworld, it is quite possible for the new force to stay after they leave. They were the spark, the only question is will the fire keep burning or not.
5830807
Well, they took the elements and most of the bearers of the elements away, at most the disk has an incomplete harmony, like a piano that’s missing several keys.
5830829 A piano that's missing several keys would be an accurate description of discworld in general.
Well, well. A sequel to one of my favorite stories ever. And it has already certain things that make for a classic Discworld tale-- and for that matter, possibly a Pony tale already.
(a) The required reluctant hero.
(b) A world/s shattering threat.
(c) Hiding in a wardrobe.*
This is going to be... interesting.
_____
*It should be noted that, unlike certain other wardrobes, this one isn't likely to be a gate into a wonderful world of enchantment and adventure. That will likely be another pathway.**
** Although, to be fair, Rincewind will likely react to Equestria with much the same attitude as he would Narnia, except with possibly less panic, because after all there's no-one in Equestria who would know him except Celestia, Luna, and-- oh, dear.
Tracking. I do hope you pick this up again (though that is arguably a riot, coming from me.)
5776754
so, you gonna update this, or...?
I greatly enjoyed your last story, that of a wizzard and a pony I hope you can update this one
Some how in some way I know Luna and Celestia are going to be ecstatic over "Uncle" Rincey coming to visit
Just binge read the prequel and I've got to say it's wonderful and oh so like the works of Pratchett himself. And that I'd love to see it continue in this one
I don't care if it seven years old. I'm still tracking this.
