Six months after being accepted into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight Sparkle concludes that her glorious teacher won't be able to raise the sun, but the unicorn filly and Doctor "Time Turner" Hooves are willing to move Heaven and Earth for the sake of sunrise or a reasonable facsimile. More than a little inspired by Doctor Who and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, hammered out mostly in one sitting due to a desire to write a silly one-shot, given a title which was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard one of the Twilight books was titled 'Breaking Dawn', and being the first work I've written to feature horizontal rules, this is Faking Dawn.
Chapters (1)
This story left me sad, mainly because I couldn't like it twice.
Huge fan of Classic and NuWho, as well as HHG2TG, so this hit right at home.
I loved the subtle nods to both series, absolutely perfect.
In conclusion: This story was (wait for it) FAN-tastic!

Originally I planned to have Time Turner be similar to the Doctor, but not very much so. I wanted him to be his own character, not just "the Tenth Doctor but somehow a pony". Then I gave him a blue box that's bigger on the inside.
Of course, in the time since I declared this story complete and published it, I've had several ideas for how to expand on it, which just goes to show... something or other. I'm not sure what. Anyway, if everyone wakes up one morning and Faking Dawn is suddenly thousands of words longer, you've been warned.
