Immortality. It's said to be the ultimate achievement. The negation of the one true hinderance to all forms of life, the binding and unifying factor that every mortal being shares. Those who are without it, wish for it. Yet those who have it... They wish it gone. For while eternal life stands as a tribute to an infinite amount of triumphs, it harbours one simple truth. Immortality isn't living forever, it's everyone you love vanishing around you.
For some this is of little concern, for they are without the bonds of friendship and affection. Why worry about the longevity of loved ones that don't exist? Others fight to keep those they care about alive, betraying all reason in the name of a struggle against the cosmic rule of entropy. Many simply retreat from sight, becoming recluse, hidden and forgotten. Yet the last archetype, they do nothing of the sort, for they have not yet exceeded their mortal lives. They are determined, free from the strife of a million year existence. These beings turn desperation into action, travesty into opportunity. Darkness, into light.
When all seems lost, all it takes is one final effort, a stand against impossible odds. And that's what guardians are best at, isn't it?
If large scale crossovers aren't really your thing then I'd advised you to read no further into this story. This is a Destiny/Halo/Mlp crossover, the lore of each universe will be changed to fit the flow of the story. Some changes may be small but many are rather large. Prior knowledge of each universe is very much recommended, although I will try my best to write it in a way that is enjoyable for everyone. As it stands this is also my first fan-fiction, so constructive criticism is not only welcome but encouraged. Any ideas regarding changes or upcoming chapters are also welcome. Thanks. 
Another note, this interpretation of the Destiny universe will not take into account any of the events following on from the original game. If this causes anyone to lose interest I fully understand. Just thought I'd let you know what you're getting into.
Final note from 5 years after the original publishing of this story, I recently put this back up after a period of 2 years unpublished because I recieved requests from people wanting to read it again. I don't plan to continue this version of this story, however if in the future I find myself with more free time, I may make an attempt at rewriting it, bringing it into the modern era if you will. Until that potential day, I hope you enjoy this wild trip back to 2016.
First chapter lads! Hope I peaked your interest. There will be more to come soon.
As for the symbol in the chapter, it's the Forerunner symbol for reclaimer. I was having trouble with putting the image in the chapter for some reason. If anyone has any insight it would be much appreciated.
Hmm...
Also, the Forerunner symbol for Reclaimer, eh
Next chapter up, damn I'm on a roll today.
Progress might be slightly slower over the next two days, what with terrestrial constrains like homework and family. So I'll see you on the other side.
7664009 Your will is my command, I'm already drafting the next one.
*Reads first part of the summary*
"Huh, interesting. May have to bookma-"
*Reads its Destiny cross*
"sorry, not for me"
Does it has something that I may be interested in? because I have to make sure before declaring this fic as heresy
7670593
That my friend, is entirely up to you. The story is more going to be about the halo lore, I can't tell you what as that would be a bit of spoil. The destiny aspect of this story mostly relates to the main characters abilities and for the setup of the universe. I can't force you to read it, is there something you particularly dislike about destiny, or is it just crossovers in general?
well it certainly sounds interesting, but i can't help but notice the grammar errors in the description. humanities should be humanity's, Travelers should be Traveler's. I'm kinda a grammar nazi, so... eh, who am i kidding, i love halo and destiny too much to be put off by something like that.
7671336
Thanks for pointing those out, I'll make sure to fix them immediately. Grammars not one of my all time highs
. They don't call me actualphysicslautism for nothing.
Sudden realisation, it's called the SUMMER sun celebration. Why the hell are you setting the story in winter?
That was a bit of a stupid mistake on my part, I made the rather brash assumption that because of the episode Winter wrap up occurs later that season that it was set in winter. So it's the WINTER sun celebration in this story. Yay. Woohoo. Plot holes. You can get away with anything if you have the alternate universe tag. Woooooo.
But in all seriousness sorry about that, it's a bit of an issue but I'm to far in to fix it so yeah.
7675986
You forgot to add with the brackets at the end of that. Without it the thing doesn't work.
Edit: Oh geeze the with the brackets did it for me. But this is what you need right here the /size thing to be add to that specific line. Also another here at the beginning.
Get the /size] out of there.
Other than these there are also a few sentences that could use commas.
7676256
This is exactly what I like to see, thanks for taking the time to do that
Am I in heaven cause that was Out of this world "Buh dum tsh" Btw awesome story!!!!!! Imma follo this for sure!!!!
Huh, just a question involving exuberant, what is she exactly? Secondarily do halo and destiny mix? Misteries to a noob in the subject.
I did some Shakespearean reading, maybe I could assist thee with thine play upon thine speech? Ye Ancient Equestrian Tongue is but exuberant in thine speech and the match of thou tongue to thine choice.
Ok I'm in suspense rn so bad xd Im your new superfan!!!!!!
7683787
You flatter me, sorry I didn't reply to these earlier I was alseep. As for your question, yes the stories do mix. Not IRL but for the sake of this head cannon. Also, Exuberant-witness is a forerunner monitor, much like the much more famous 343 Guilty-spark, who is the current avatar for the Frendship is logical group. They basically just look after and care for forerunner facilities.
7670608 I don't like multricross as a rule a few exceptions notwithstanding (I do like normal crossovers).
Also, destiny's traveler kind of doesn't fit with most Halo lore (unless you handwave it with "Precursor fuckery") so this type of cross tends to change important parts of the backstory/metaphysics/setting.
Now, taking into account that I haven't, you know, actually read your story I won't say something stupid as "its bad" because I have no right to but I'm kind of put off but multicrosses.
There is also things like "where did the Traveller came from?" "If it has been 900 years what could possibly defeat mankind who unlike Destiny's humanity were FTL capable and had hundreds of worlds under their control?" Or how could anything defeat them when they would probably have Forerunner bullshit hax level of tech by that time.
Also, from what I read in your summary this sounds more like "Destiny with Halo as a backstory" and while I don't dislike Destiny I don't like it either (never played the game)
EDIT: Read up to chapter 3 and while the writing was good and the grammar ok (you used "their" instead of they're a few times). I didn't like the story (I know it was just starting but still) and it felt kind of rushed, also if they had a supercarrier where did they need to go that it would take them 1000 years? Covenant top speed for slipspace was 900 lypd and going from one side of the galaxy to the other would only take a few years at most (galaxy is 300k lightyears across).
7684854
Noted, I'm glad you took the time to read the first part of the story, even if it wasn't to your liking. As for your other criticisms: The covenant slipspace thing - that's a piece of poor research on my part, though I'm sure it can be easily explained later. Maybe an intergalactic sightseeing trip or something; the fact that the traveler doesn't fit in - that's a key part of the story right there, would be a shame to spoil; the fact that it seems rushed - its not really meant to be long, it's the opening part of the story. But your concerns are valid; how could many thing kill humanity - another key element of the story, I can't spoil.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, but thanks for the criticism anyway. Maybe I'll be able to write something you'll enjoy in future.
7685263
No problem, I would have liked to like (that sounds weird) the story but I couldn't and probably my bias against Destiny didn't help either.
If some things I named were plot points then it doesn't matter, I may check your sotry after you finish and i will wait for your next one.
May the light of the God-Emperor protect you
The Black Garden, I presume?
7690491
Maaaaaaybe, that's not the only thing that gets mentioned in there though.
7690491
Thanks for the fave btw
7690554 Cool. And no problem about the favorite. To be honest, I like the premise.
Awesome as always! I'd have read this quicker but my notifications were off the wall xD
Gg twi, u dun goofed!
Interesting point to be made: Long Far Gone is a legendary Fusion Rifle in Destiny. It's interesting because it has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
7722366
Ah ha but that's where your wrong
Long far gone was the first legendary I received when I was beginning the taken King, the story may not have much relevance to the fusion rifle, but the fusion rifle is what named the story.
Wait was that a human?!?!?! Actually surprised isn't really my thing though the arrow was awesome! (Btw if a unicorn or alicorn loses ALL their magic they die, it's stated in a mlp episode sometime in season two)
Btw I like the story design!!!! You've grown even in your writing style a lot!
"That was a tremendous understatement and Twilight knew it, the poor guy could hardly walk after she was done with him.
" Hold on a sec! When were writers able to use emoticons in a story? I do believe it's something that shouldn't be happening.
7728395
I put it in as a massive face palm towards the innuendo that I accidentally put in. I thought it was amusing so I left it there.
7728201
I wasn't literally all her magic, the nightstalker bow is a suppressant, meaning that it cut her magic off from her, causing her to lose consciousness. Also what episode was that from, I never watched it, and didn't Tirek (or however it's spelled) consume everyone's magic, leaving them weak but still alive.
Thanks for the support anyway, it always means a lot.
Can't wait for more!
7755297
Great to hear, more is on its way
Yay!
7765638
Yay indeed. I really need to get this bloody story moving though.
From what I can tell, the events mentioned in here come from the original Destiny up until a point after the Taken War. The SIVA Crisis is not mentioned but it continues in an alternate timeline to about 1000 years after that point. This story was most likely thought up before Rise of Iron, at a best guess. I'm mainly stating this to see if my lines of thinking are right.
7765694
In fact, this story is set after the SIVA crisis. There was a (if quite brief) mention of SIVA during chapter 2. When they were examining the servitor on the bridge. It was really small, I'm not surprised many missed it.
This story has been in the works since long before rise of irons release. Bordering on before the Taken King actually. It started as an obsolete head cannon when I was in the middle of a VOG play through and I began to notice similarities between the 2 franchises. The ponies where just an added extra at that point, over time it just built up inside my head until a good mate of mine convinced me to begin to write it down with some context. And that's what long far gone is.
Ps - I probably should have made the SIVA thing a bit more clear. I'll work on it. :3
7765721 Don't mind me too much. I'm always eager for more bits on the SIVA Crisis for a few reasons. 1, out of all the fics I've read on Destiny, most of them are on or during the Taken War and so few on the events after. Granted, it's newer so of course there's not going to be much, if any, but with so many on the Taken War, it does help grow a need for something different, you know?
2, fan stories let us see how a person takes the canons and ideas and just how they see them. in a lot of ways, it's always interesting to see just how a person sees all of it in the form of their headcanon.
7765952
Well this fic is certainly different that's for sure. I haven't found another one quite like it. If you have at some point I'd love to read it, there's very few destiny themed fics out there.
*Slams all the work down in front of you*
Shouldn't Pegasus be Pegasi ? Also the 2nd and last one need commas.
Anyways,the story feels a bit rushed,and I feel like the whole death thing should've came in later. Should've died by timberwolves,or a hydra in my opinion. I do like the fact you're trying to throw Nokris into this though. All the fellow guardians I bring it up with go like.
HOWEVER! Please refrain from adding too,much fan stuff on Nokris. It's not your idea,and this story will most likely end up getting either a massive rewrite,or becoming obsolete. Unless you're 100% sure Nokris will remain a background character,I ask you do take my warning seriously.
7800062
Thanks my dude. As for your concerns, I thought so too, but I felt like dodging around the whole 'Guadians can't die' thing would only make the rest of the story harder to write, and it will act for the basis of the next chapter, which will, as should be expected, contain the obligatory 'Twilight asks alien monkey questions' section, which is well loved. (I hope.) I'm also trying my damned hardest not to Mary Sue Mathew, which is proving rather difficult.
I'm glad thats all you found in the way of grammar errors, it means I'm improving.
7800062
And I just spotted your extra message below clip. I spent a solid two hours searching the grimour card database for any scrap of information on Nokris, I can safely say that I didn't find anything. I also checked Reddit for any leads but couldn't find anything worth a dime. I was actually planning on building his character myself, but if stuff exists already I might run into some problems. If there's some actually decent fan theory out there then I take a look. I also know that many of the characters in this story may be completely subject to change, like if they kill off Exuberant in the next halo game or something, but unfortunately I don't work for 343 or bungie so I can only go with what exists right now. If this story is finished and they release something canon that contradicts it then there isn't much I can do. But thanks for warning me none the less.
7800657 as someone who has read the grimoir almost religiously, (my score is 5315) i can say with no doubt the there is no mention of Nokris anywhere i can see. And given how bungie works with the (lack of) expansions, there probably won't be any new info in Destiny. If anything, any new info would be in Destiny 2, and that hasn't gotten an official release date yet, much less any information on who we would be fighting. I personally think Nokris would br a great choice, mabey as some sort of Hive High Priest or Alchemist. Anyway, keep up the great work. ?
7805935
My work? Great? I'm glad you think so, at least that means I can stop my search for stuff. I think I'll just write him myself, if that's what everyone wants.
because it's the holidays, I half-expected the chapter to be a memory from The Dawning.
7817348
It would have been, but I had already written it prior to its release. I spent way to much time just trying to get word online to function that I let the opportunity slip past. Maybe next interlude, eh?
Wow, unexpected!
Great chapter!
