“You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.” George Bernard Shaw
Sweetie Belle wakes up in a strange place with strange creatures and no memory of how she got there. She must navigate an impossible technological world where no one understands magic or ponies while she looks for a way home.
Her journey will reveal much more about the universe and Equestria than she could have ever imagined.

very interesting with the name and age, like many, i imagine ponies have human are and that belle is the family nickname.
I'm eager to see where this goes. Maybe your story can help me, I had a star trek mlp idea of my own but can't think of anything concrete, having only done a very small/brief star trek crossover before.
Also, at which point in depp space 9 is this set, if i may ask?
12037481
Hey thanks.
It's set roughly in the middle of season 3.
12037484
youö're welcome. My brief idea was a yoyager one back then, as the Borg are one of my favorites and the other idea...sort of Picard focused, mainly as this was the only strar trek media we saw life on earth actually/properly, but as such, i end up blank whn trying to think of a proper story plot.
By the way, given the setting of deep space 9 and the Dominion War, i take you got it already planned?
12037490
A Voyager crossover would be fun.
Maybe. Maybe not.
I have the whole story planned, and almost half of it written already.
12037494
your call, mine was brief as i struggle to get up with slice of life ideas without a base to use, which is also why i kinda struggle to get up with a proper plot for the Picard idea.
and okay. why i asked...how should i say , had a but of a silly support thought
Well, this is interesting.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes. I have a feeling when our dear Q makes an appearance Sweetie will hear his voice, scream 'DISCORD!' and glomp him in pure hope and happiness. Either Q is Discord, and he can help, or he isn't and we'll have a very confused and intrigued god-like entity.
I eagerly wait for the next chapter. 👍
This is very interesting! Some grammar issues here and there, but other than that, this first chapter does a fine job of establishing the setting and plot. Poor Sweets! I hope she finds a way home!
This reminds me of another Star Trek x MLP crossover tale I like, but it involves Sunset and (later on) Twilight being the main characters.
Also, the cover art is lovely!
Just the funny thought of Sweetie Belle walking up to Odo and saying "Your not a changeling."
And Odo replying with a roll of his eyes "And I guess you've seen a real changeling?"
With Sweetie ending it off with "Yeah, where are your holes?"
The things my mind find funny.

Hey thanks! I don't have an editor, so a few mistakes are bound to appear. Hopefully, they weren't too distracting.
If you love the cover art, there will be more art from Little Tigress in later chapters.
12037546
You never know who might pop in...
Oh. I can’t wait to see where it goes.
I have never interacted with Star Trek media before now besides half of one of the movies in 8th grade. What’s a good place to start with the franchise? I’m really excited to see where this goes.
12037618
Oh wow that is a tough question to answer lol.
The original movies with Kirk, Spok, and McCoy are pretty good (except one).
Star Trek the Next Generation is a good place to start with the shows. That first season is... not great. The second season is okay, but after that it gets good. The Next Generation launches Deep Space 9 in its sixth season. Deep Space Nine is my favorite Trek, and you don't really need Next Gen to understand it, but it lays a lot of groundwork for the Trek universe that DS9 exists in.
For newer Trek, I'd say Strange New Worlds is great! I hear Discovery is good too, I have not gotten around to watching it though.
12037629
I’m gonna start with Next Generaition and then watch Deep Space Nine. I’ll see if my local library has the DVDs. At this point I don’t see why I shouldn’t dive into every nerd fandom I find since I’m already collecting them like Pokémon.
12037638
That's a good way to go. It's very possible to start from DS9, but TNG was more designed as a starting point.
But Twi-Fi is right, that season 1 is a bit weak at times. It's not all bad, but it does have one of the worst Star Trek episodes of all time (Code of Honor, episode 4)
Other good starting points are TOS (for obvious reasons), Enterprise (but many consider it weaker overall), and Prodigy (accessible to a younger audience as well.
I'm gonna assume you meant "gesture" here.
Otherwise a pretty interesting opening.
12037671
yes lol
fixed.
Try not to conflate the Federation with Star Fleet. Everyone in Star Fleet wears the uniform (...mostly), but most people in the Federation are civilians. Even on DS9, there are Federation civilians, like Keiko O'Brien and Jake Sisko.
12037680
She is saying that... maybe I should make it more succinct.
12037683
Perhaps, "Most of us on DS9 do; as members of Star Fleet"
Or, "Members of Star Fleet do, while civilians can wear what they want."
Going to keep an eye on this one given all the crazy stuff the CMC got up to, brought up around Pinkie Pie,a nd if the School is up and running, Spikes got gaming night with Discord and theres Kirin fire mode, Changedlings, and Hippogriff water form to add to Spikes rapid size change MegaGreed form she will have seen?
At the very least, Twilights gravity spell in the Crystal Empire will have messed with gravitons which the Federation also has experience with along with all the ohter forms of energy and such, and the stations sensors shuldve picked up her teleport as well simply by a sudden displacement of her mass from one point to the other point making the local gravity generators have to ajust to compensate and rebalance the station. things in space are very sensitive to disturbances, such as the gravity waves broadcast by the Wormhole unless the gods within have decided they dont want it to?
Yay! Another Trek/MLP crossover! Looking to be off to a pretty good start.
Only one minor nitpick that I can see needs correcting: the 26-hour day is based on Bajor's rotation, a local year would be based on a planet's revolution.
12037858
Or "planetary cycle", because sometimes things are weirder than what's going with Earth.
Under no circumstance should Sweetie Belle be let anywhere near an orb.
They should fab her snap-on rubberized shoes. Decking and stairs are bad on hooves and that ladder was giving trouble even to actors.
You sure Sisko should be a Captain yet? Doesn't seem like it's during the war and he was a Commander for a long time.
12037945
I just looked it up. Sisko gets promoted at the end of season 3. This is taking place in the middle of season 3. So... woopsies.
It should be an easy fix though. Sisko isn't that prominent in the first few chapters.
Great story👍
Good first chapter, the story is very promising.
I look forward to the next chapter
I wonder how Sweetie will get along with Odo when she meets him. He was always my favorite character
Sweetie Belle looks really depressed in that picture. I hope she finds her way home.
You seem to have Sweetie Belle characterised quite well.
And a good DS9 fic is rare!
Off to a good start
Godddddd this has tapped into both of my current fixations of my goodness MEEEEEEEE
wonderful stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am just. Staring at the possibility of a Q appearance and sweetie belle just squinting and being like,,
"DISCORD?"
12037670
. Still its been a long time since I watched TNG or DS9. Both were great shows. I like how this is starting out. Looking forward to next chapter.
TNG started getting good once Riker got his goatee
I always thought the no currency thing to be silly and confusing.
No doubt Quark would pay her a small pittance to be a talking pony for a pony show. Or perhaps get her to sing for the patrons. Then crew, especially, Odo, would get involved about child exploitation.
12038248
When you have replicators making free stuff on demand, of course it's easy to have no money. Outside the Federation, you need money.
12037546
Odo would most certainly want to talk to her about that.
I wonder why this is rated 'M?' That severely reduces the number of people who see it. I haven't seen anything even close to that rating and can't think of much that would push it past 'T' generally and even less that couldn't be put in side story chapters in a separate 'M' fic.
12038280
TBH it might be rated too high. There's stuff coming up later that I'm not sure about.
12038285
No harm in having it be T until then... Borderline issues are usually fine to be T, unless you have gratuitous sex scenes or something, and again something like that can be a side chapter elsewhere.
Miles: If he is behind this, I might just slug him.
Jadzia: Do you think you could surprise him like Benjamin did?
Sweetie: Who are you talking about?
*Miles & Jadzia tell her about Q*
Sweetie: He reminds me of Discord. But he's a good guy these days. He wouldn't send me away without telling me.
12038285
) it should be fine to mark this as teen so long as borderline cases are noted somewhere, either in the description or in the chapter notes before the chapter. Of course, this is just my opinion on the matter, so it could very much be wrong.
I figure that so long as this story remains within the bounds of most DS9 episodes, it should be fine. Sure, the show can get quite dark sometimes, but it's usually 'the horrors of war' or 'the horrors of politics'. As long as there isn't any gratuitous depictions of gore (or paperwork
Anyway, thinking of 'the horrors of politics' reminds me of Kai Winn. I wonder how Sweetie would react to her, or worse, what Kai Winn would do.
12037494
Oh oh oh, I did a Voyager crossover! Two of them, to be precise. But the ponies were holodeck creations, gained sentience thanks to... someone. It's called shuttlepod down.
I even wrote a next generation crossover, where the Enterprise D visits Equestria in Knights Gambit. Seeing a DS9 crossover rocks!
12038309
There's a horrifying thought.
Yes I think I will rerate it to T. There is stuff much later, but after reading through that again, I think it's fine as Teen. Some of the more... explicit scenes are in the scraps folder anyway.
So far, fantastic read! We have a mystery setup in the works. And of course, you know she federation personel will be dying to understand how pony magic works. Can't wait to see more!
Loving it so far, thank you for writing this! A nice coincidence for me - over the last year-ish I've been watching through DS9 for the first time with my housemates. We just finished season 6.
Nicely done! Interesting about the end and i can understand the akwardness between them.
Also, Pardon about the thought thing
For the love of god please do not let this story die and continue to update it frequently!
Good flow of the story. The characters feel real, as is the bonding between Jadzia and Sweetie Belle.
This is a good read.
Oh, great, another crossover. I have so very little interest in reading... reading...
...
DS9, you say?
...
*Imagines Sweetie Belle having breakfast with 'plain, simple Garak' or getting caught up in one of Quark's 'get rich quick' schemes*
*Quietly adds to bookshelf for alerts.*
May the Prophets guide her.
EDIT:
Suddenly I want to see Quark try to teach CMC the Rules of Acquisition. You know, for their cutie marks. Also, Sweetie should (unwittingly) take a nap in Odo's bucket. Bonus points if Kira stops him from doing anything about it because it's too cute to ruin.
