Due to circumstances that are too long-winded and boring to go into detail about, Sunset and pals discovered that their world had a version of the Pillars as well! It's been over a year since they were released from their time prison, but most have been able to get on with their lives without too much difficulty.

That is, except for Rockhoof. He just doesn't seem to have a place in this new scary world.

So he asks Sunset to kill him.

Sunset complies.

(Based on today's episode, A Rockhoof and a Hard Place)

Rainbow Dash blew up the Weather Factory and now Ponyville is about to suffer the consequences... but from the fires of tragedy Twilight Sparkle sees an opportunity, one that she'll be damned to let slip by.

*With a heavy heart, I must declare this story cancelled. Though it lacks a true ending, I encourage each and every one of you to make your own. May your vision create something even grander than my own. -Derply*
After the events of Twilight's Kingdom, vegetation across Ponyville has been thrown into disarray thanks to Twilight's new unintentional death castle. But while some plants have been sucked dry, others have flourished, such as the infamous Poison Joke.

Enter Big Mac; a stallion of few words whose about to get a few dozen more whether he, or anypony else, likes it or not.

(WARNING: While it gets silly at times, this fic borderlines between needing and not needing the tragedy tag. Contains character deconstructions that may upset people.)

So we just nuked our friend dead through the power of friendship... well buck.

Dolls; once a plaything for foals, they have quickly become my sword and shield in the stretch of a single month. I am Rarity, fashion pony extraordinaire. Although I have traded my needle and thread for goggles and a psychic headband, this fact remains. With the unlikely aid of a little orange Pegasus and a wingless 'Angel', I will concur this new sport and show the world how brilliantly we can shine!
Crossover with the universe of Clamp's Angelic Layer. Some liberties were taken with how the universe works, with some aspects added and some removed. No prior knowledge necessary to enjoy, but will enhance the experience.

*HIATUS UPDATE 10/15/2018: There is currently no set schedule for the remake of this story, but I assure you that it still has not been canceled. I get regular comments, favorites, and emails that all point towards this being a beloved story worth finishing, so one day I will do just that. Thank you all for your time and patience!*
Ever since they were little colts, the Flim Flam brothers had a dream; a dream to make a wondrous machine to set their lives on the fast track to success. The machine, known as the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, was missing just one component to make it all complete. Just one elusive item that no sane pony or pony with values would ever consider using:

Fresh dragon's breath.

Guess what I am.

I was taken from my home, my family, and my wings were slashed. I am no longer a person, I am simply a cog; a cog in the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000.

This is the beginning of my wonderful tale.
