The Pie Family Rock Farm has always relied on a single heirloom, an arrow-shaped artifact produced, for all anypony can tell, from a very rare kind of meteorite. It's made it possible for them to tend the earth successfully in the harshest of conditions, and granted odd talents to some of the family members. Then A.K. Yearling, actually rogue author-adventurer Daring Do, steals it using a bizarre magical ability of her own.

Now Marble, Maud and Limestone have ten days to find her, get it back and return it to their homestead, before generations of magic dry up and the farm goes bust for good. If only Daring made it that straightforward.

Over the last month, a number of students at CHS have inexplicably developed strange superpowers. For reasons he can't fathom, antisocial techie Care Root may hold the most devastating one of all - one he can never use. But when he meets his soulmate, and his very destiny is changed in front of his eyes, Care's ｢Timbuk Three｣ becomes the last line of defense between his only shot at happiness and a shadow-war raging across Canterlot.

What are these groups fighting over? Why haven't the Rainbooms stepped in? Where did these powers come from? And when complete victory can still destroy his reasons for fighting, can Care reach the end of his adventure with a scrap of his future intact?

UPDATE: this story is completed in greentext form on my Pastebin.

After their father's death, Moondancer's stoner half-sister moves in with her and starts attending Crystal Prep Academy, bringing a carefree lifestyle and a laundry-list of illicit substances along with her. The two have never spent much time together, but they mix better than anyone might think. Then a smoky attempt at sisterly bonding sends both of them down a cosmic rabbit hole, and each develops seemingly psychic abilities.

They're so tweaked they don't even think to ask why they're calling these things "Stands".

Which would be fine, if not for the fact that opening their third eyes has made them noticeable. The Academy's party gods, the Friday Night Gurus, want to maintain their monopoly on the fifth dimension, and they're not going to stop at harshing a few mellows.

Two parts JoJo's Bizarre Adventure to one part stoner lit, a splash of John Dies at the End, and a generous garnish of prog rock and modern pop.

Bon Bon, the ultimate sourpuss of Ponyville, gets dragged by her best and only friend, Lyra Heartstrings, to the chintzy Fillydelphian Alternate History Museum on an obnoxious trip. Naturally she doesn't believe any of it, which makes it all the more annoying when the building itself sends them into another universe, a 'World of the Plastic Beach'. And that's not getting into the other people there.

Or "Stands".

The rambunctious but genuinely well-meaning prankster Anonymous would give the world to woo the Night Princess. Sadly, all he has to offer is his sanity. Not used to the attention, she can't say she minds. But while she investigates the differences between human and pony dreaming, she learns of the immense power his kind have in the realm of imagination, and puts him on the path to dream magic. And as their relationship deepens, something else looms over them, ready to threaten not only their happiness but the future of all Equestria.
