Instead of arriving at Canterlot High to kick off the events of Rainbow Rocks, the siren trio land just outside a swell little town where they try to use their singing to their advantage, but the town's record label has a different plan for them~

High School student Carson Andrews was in for a world of life and unexpected turns when he got himself transformed into a Earth Pony and free fallen to Everfree Forest after a burst of magic from Twilight Sparkle during her magic exam. Despite how much of a fan he is of MLP:FIM, he can't help but feel scared and on edge as to what kind of consequences his presence might bring on account of his knowledge of a fictional cartoon show.

Now under the name of “Wishing Star,” he must adapt to the world around of him , blend in with every pony else, and earn his own Cutie Mark. But what happens when he falls in love with the soon-to-be-Princess-of-Friendship and make changes to the world around him?

Jason Wright fled Ponyville after his failed attempt on his life. Lost and in a haze, he didn't realize how far north he had gone until he awakened the slumbering entities of frost. Now, bound to them and gifted with a forgotten gift of the Goddess, both sustain each other as they go to Equestria with one goal in mind:

Finish what was started long ago.

Dr. Nikolai dies in an accident while researching about wormholes, trying to turn back time despite it seeming impossible and ends up waking up in the Everfree forest in the body of a young pony, unaware of what he is.

His experiments on magic, his newfound interest attracts attention to himself despite his desire to remain hidden.

In the region of Ontario, Canada, there exists an urban legend that always manages to find its way into the heads of many whenever they think about it. A legend of a monster storyteller who would recount gruesome, horrible stories to anyone who would be brave enough to listen.
But what if I told you that the legend of Wendigo Studios is real?

I was sitting on my balcony, enjoying the view of my city in the winter, when I was suddenly greeted by a flying pony who introduced herself as Ditzy Doo.

This world has no knowledge of MLP, except for, you know, the ponies, who are the MLPs... I'll just be quiet.

It's officially the start of Spooky Season, and Dustin Miller gets the surprise of a lifetime when he gets sucked into a world in Cyberspace called Goetia. A world in Cyberspace that could be best described as the digital Equivalent of Hell.

Can our hero brave through the hellish landscape and make it back home? Who will he face up against this time? Only one way to find out.

Loosely inspired by the Inferno portion of The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, as well as the video game Dante's Inferno.

She was taught to fear the creaking of branches above her head. Nightmares consist of wandering through the trees in flight, pursued by a horrendous shape just out of sight that would be her end if it caught her.

Flurry Heart knows the rules of peace that keep her village a harmonious place, as well as the laws that keep them all alive:

No one is to enter the woods.
An offering will be left at the edge of the woods during every full moon, and an offering will be retrieved every new moon.
Those who enter the woods will be made forfeit to those within, and they know not the meaning of mercy.

Never has either side dared to breach this uneasy peace, and thus each continues to survive- perhaps even begin to flourish after so many dark years of struggle they had endured.
Until now.

Flash Sentry is Makai knight. His duty is to protect human beings. The place he guards is called Canterlot. As long as he is there, horror will not be allowed to act recklessly

And in this city, he is not alone, and his other companions, maybe they are immature, maybe not very strong, but they will use everything to protect mankind!

One cloudy evening in rural Virginia, a pony and a human's paths meet on a backroad, will Matt Fredrick help Misty Brightdawn get used to being in a new world and help her get home? Or will all hell break loose? Maybe we'll find out as the story progresses.

Season 9 has come to a close, Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Chrysalis, the greatest threats Equestria has ever faced so far, have been taken down for good.

So far...

Even with all of the magic and power that exists within Equestria, no one is aware of what lies beyond it, just out of reach. Innumerable other worlds, each with their own unique laws and characters, all existing in parallel without ever knowing of each other...

All of this changes when an evil the universes have never seen appears, tearing holes in the fabric of reality itself and finally allowing these worlds to come into contact with one another, but at the cost of everything being in danger as the D@RkN3sS consumes everything it touches. All thanks to the transgressions of - [DATA ERROR].

Can Twilight and her friends, along with characters from their universe and beyond, stop what seems inevitable? Or is everything doomed to be consumed?

This is a story that revolves around the incredibly popular concept of "Learning with Pibby," which was first coined by Adult Swim in October 2021. The concept video features a glitch-like corruption that invades and destroys any world it happens to manifest in. As shown in the trailer, it threatens the existence of cartoons and animation as a whole. Of course, they can only use cartoons they own because of copyright laws. But that doesn't apply here, does it?

Welcome to When Darkness Falls, a story that follows Twilight, her friends, and many new ones, as they adventure to both survive and stop the corruption when it comes to their world.

To get the most context for what Learning with Pibby is, and to get a good idea of what to expect here, I'm going to leave a link to the official trailer HERE.

In future chapters, I will be making use of some rather unique concepts and takes to how the story is told, which depending on the reader may have mixed reaction. However, I have tried my best to make them understandable and enjoyable for everyone. These concepts aim to add a new dimension to the story and another layer of immersion for the reader.

There is also a ton of lore scattered throughout, both original lore written by me and other members of the Learning with Pibby community, as well as official lore from many of the TV shows that I use to inform the main storyline. Enough that they deserve their own blog posts rather than the Author's Notes because they'd be too long. Regardless, the Author's Notes still contain the bare minimum of what you need to understand the corresponding chapter. The blogs are more or less just for in-depth lore/explanation.

And a huge shoutout to the one person who’s helped me the most to stay motivated and confident in my work, ScorchingFlamesInc. Without them I might not have had the same level of motivation I did to finally finish this remaster. They also happen to be the author of another fic on this same concept, just a different take, which I very much recommend you check out (after you’re done here of course.)

Small Disclaimers:
-This story does change some of the main timeline of FiM, but is not an AU. Everything up until season nine is the same, but The Last Problem never happens for reasons that become evident early on.
-This story is set to be a crossover of massive proportions, and while there are only a few featured at the moment, there will be many, many characters and world’s of animation from the 90s to present day shown as either cameos or playing big roles in the grander storyline. This roster so far includes (updated as new chapters come out):
MLP: FiM, MLP: EQG, Learning with Pibby, and The Amazing World of Gumball.

Comments and other feedback are greatly appreciated and encouraged. This story so far has proved to be a monumental task, especially for a first time writer such as myself, so your feedback and constructive criticisms are very much appreciated.

Celestia wants to play chess, and she knows you're good, very good, at it. Your favorite opening is the Queen's pawn opening, proved to be so powerful. But is it actually powerful?

This story is still evolving so stay tuned!

After a strange alien creature named Anon suddenly showed up in Equestria, it was only natural that Twilight Sparkle would want to help him adjust to his new environment. To do so, she enlists the help of local school teacher Ms. Cheerilee. With her guidance, Anon should be able to learn how to do things the "pony way," and before he knows it, he'll be another friendly face in Ponyville's growing community.

Unfortunately, Cheerilee isn't exactly a fan of the new human in town, nor is said human particularly happy to be under the tutelage of an elementary school teacher.

Is there any hope of them getting along?

This story is a sequel to My Little Twilight

She builds a cottage, as an addition to her tiny village.

The space is folded, to give more space; aside from acclimatizing her and her friend to the world she is about to explore.

Twilight follows her to the other side of the Floo.

It is late autumn on the other side, just a few weeks before the school year begins. Leaving just enough time to prepare for the new school year and by all the needed supplies.

But of course this trip goes Diagonally. (the Diagon Alley)

Ps: I may change the tags as the story develops, just as I may have to adjust the description and summary.

It's a simple tale that you've likely heard before. You woke up in Equestria one day, made some friends, grew close to Princess Celestia, and got married to said princess after she retired. Now, the two of you enjoy a nice, quiet life in your quaint Ponyville home.

Well, when you aren't getting involved in any number of strange, magical adventures, at least.

An ongoing collection of Anon/Celestia one-shots, conveniently gathered together in one place.

This story is a sequel to Sunset Shimmer's magical adventures Volume 3: The Conclusion, Part 1

The awaited battle between Sunset and her friends and Grogar and his goons is about to begin. That battle shall determine the destiny of both their world and Equestria. Luckily for our heroes, they got stronger and can count on the help of unexpected allies in this fight. However, even with those new factors, nothing guarantee our heroes' victory against a powerhouse like Grogar. In order to win, our heroes might have to put their lives on the line....

An unexpected development has arisen. What we once thought was childish has reached us from afar. An unexpected being that might threaten your paycheck is waiting.

Prepare for descent.

Fans of MLP say: "If it exists, there's pony of it." To which I respond: "Hey, fan workers! You missed a spot!" Interplay and Parallax's Descent series were among my favorite computer games growing up in the 1990s. I looked around recently, and I didn't see any crossovers between the two, whether it be stories, art, anything. Couldn't have that, could I?

(Addendum: It's been pointed out to me that there is, in fact, pony artwork of Descent in existence already. Shows what I know! )

A one-shot deal that came about after I learned of Volition shutting down. Timeline-wise, this takes place in the middle of the first game (Descent) and at some point between the last two episodes of Season 9 (MLP).

And no: to curtail any questions on the topic, I won't be continuing this. As of this date (Sept. 22, 2023), just writing this was enough of a distraction from M.L.G. as it is.

The cover image is from Descent II's intro cutscene.

Jack recently lost his job at a retail store and needs something to do so he decides to get this new brony game...
Things go very wrong.

(Warning story is old with some minor changes)

Equestria is at war , at a full standstill with the Changelings on land but lacking on the oceanfront. Their navy isn't holding up to the Changelings. A mysterious force is at play, helping them whenever they are in trouble. But no contact has been made with them. The two ships would only appear for a few minutes and finish the fight before disappearing.

Who are the mysterious ships, and where did they come from?

Your friends in Ponyville were quite shocked when your relationship with Marble Pie became public. They were even more shocked when she moved in with you and immediately became just another member of the community, all without saying a single word. To most of them, it can be hard to have a conversation with her.

To you, it's the easiest thing in the world.

A simple story between Equestria's resident human, and a certain cyan pegasus mare.

I just felt like doing something short, sweet, and simple.

Maybe it's a parody.

A couple of notes: This story does not contain sex, but it does contain references to it. Also, Anon has been written as a woman in this story.

I'm a moron of colossal proportions, I wanted to blame everyone but myself for why I acted the way I did and I just wanted to disappear some days; but something wanted to help me with that last part.....whether I wanted it or not.

At first it felt like a dream, so surreal; but I knew deep down somewhere it was all a lie, that its NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS. All I wanted was to live how I want with this admittedly morose new start on life, but my dumbass keeps drawing the wrong kind of attention and I know for certain my luck will run out...
Sooner or later....I swear this cities walls have eyes.

Hey I would like to make things clear that this is my very first story, and I don't have anything planned beyond the premise which is REALLY self-indulgent....unabashedly even. I'm mostly just trying to write a story ill have fun with.

Things to expect: stuff ill occasionally pull out of my ass cause i thought it was cool, excessive swearing, anthro ponies and RGRE story elements.
My biggest Inspirations are stories like Blurring Realities, Mordane Stronghoof and Life Finds a Way

This story is a sequel to Blues Clues: A Costume to Find

It's a special day in Canterlot City. It's Spike's birthday!!! He's excited to celebrate with his friends the Rainbooms and Steve. But the only issue is that they don't have a present for Spike!! When Spike and Steve go out to visit his brother Joe the girls have to play Blues Clues to figure this out!

Magic, a myth, a legend, a fairy tale, or maybe... not so much. Something strange appeared on Earth, and top scientists from around the world are working around the clock to try and figure out just what this strange thing is. One man goes above and beyond just to achieve results, and certainly got more than he bargained for, or maybe that's just what he wanted all along.

It's late at night. You should probably be in bed right now. But hey, who can really turn down a chance to talk with a princess? Even if... the conversation topic is the meaning of life, and why we carry on?

Oh well. At least it's better than talking about accounting.

Set in the Pandemic Universe

Although the Southern and Central United States were some of the areas hardest hit by 2023's ETS pandemic, its reach extended beyond international borders. Carried on metal wings, people returning home from trips spread the virus to many whom they crossed. From there, wild spread was inevitable.

In Atlantic Canada, many such cases could be traced to arrivals or connecting flights out of Halifax Stanfield International Airport. The alleged primary case for the region was traveller and gambler, Jacen Cadlow, who returned home after an extended stay in Denver to recover from the flu. What made his case so bizarre wasn't just the unusual progression of his transformation, but also the conditions of his birth—so rare that no statistic existed to accurately quantify it.

Notes:
This story is set in the Pandemicuniverse brought to life by ASGeek2012. There will be no specific crossover, so prior knowledge isn't strictly necessary, but it would certainly be helpful. It is worth noting that the original Pandemic was penned prior to the Coronavirus pandemic that locked down much of the world from 2020 to late 2022. As such, this story is definitely considered an AU to Earth, a world where Covid-19 never occurred.

Rating notes: Profanity tag is self-explanatory. Sex tag for references to dalliances. Narcotics tag is present for smoking, as well as heavy use of painkillers late in transformation.

Against better judgment, King Cosmos decides to enroll his two daughters Celestia and Luna into a school that is just for royalty! Just one problem: The school is across a portal into a world where animals (unicorns, ponies, pegasi, "winged unicorns", etc.) don't talk, use magic, or attend a royal school!!!

How will Sofia and her friends handle the new students? How will Celestia and Luna feel when they are thrown so far outside their comfort zone (and home)? Sure, they look different and act different and they will likely run into several practical issues... but what could possibly go wrong? (Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather can think of several things, all of which Cosmos ignored.)

Not sure if this is the first "Sofia the First" crossover or not (or if this categorizes as a crossover if the fic is AU) but there's no tag for it, so I guess it may be. This is probably a very niche genre, but I hope y'all enjoy the story! The idea hit me randomly one night as I wondered what it would be like if Celestia and Luna attended Sofia's school. Stay tuned to find out how I think things would go down!

Characters under "other": Starswirl the Bearded, Sofia, Amber (Sofia's step-sister), James (Sofia's step-brother), Queen Miranda (Sofia's mom), King Roland (Sofia's step-dad), Baileywick (Enchancia's castle steward), Cedric (Enchancia's royal sorcerer), and basically all of the other students/animals/commoners in the Sofia the First universe.

Characters under OC: Queen Ethereal and King Cosmos (Celestia+Luna's mom and dad respectively. I know there are several fandom iterations of their parents, including their names. The iterations in my story are entirely my own. Any similarities to another author's versions of these names are coincidental).

Characters subject to be added: Nightmare Moon, Discord, Sombra, Chrysalis, Tirek, and maybe Cadence.

Lyra and Bon-Bon may have just seemed like ordinary mares on the surface. However, after Twilight Sparkle's coronation, the desperation Lyra felt to learn about humans eventually became overwhelming. and Lyra, With some assistance from Bon-Bon felt that she had to take drastic measures to learn more about them.

A long dead goddess reawakens to find a world populated with ponies, dragons, human like dogs, griffons, changelings, and yaks. Now instead of a human civilization to protect she has to protect a group of less than powerful ponies, with the ever present threat of Equestrian royalty and the elements of harmony. The people somehow still end up wrapped up in every major Equestrian conflict and the goddess is not for it.

After some insistence from his friends, Spike decides to stick around for a weekend slumber party at Twilight's house.

Seven girls and one boy under the same roof for an entire night. What could go wrong?

A storm knocks out the power to Luke and Moonlight Zephyr's house. She doesn't realize the implications of it until she tries to make herself a smoothie.

Not having electricity is, for her, a minor inconvenience. Not having her smoothie is a tragedy, and the obvious solution is to fix the wires.

Luke is not on board with this plan. Power lines are dangerous.

She's not convinced, and she can fly.

This story is a sequel to Look, I Have Extremely High Standards

You and Moondancer have grown very close since your date last month. Unfortunately, she lives in Canterlot while you still live in Ponyville, and most of your communication occurs through letters. So, when the opportunity arises for the two of you to meet once more during the Princess Procession, a parade-like event held in Canterlot every year, you were ecstatic to finally have an excuse to see each other again. Twilight, wanting an excuse of her own to get you and Moondancer together even during the event itself, arranged for an important job at the end of the parade to be handled by the two of you.

However, after Moondancer fails to show up at the place you agreed to meet at, you stumble upon an opened, enchanted manga in her living room. Fearing the worst, you hop inside.

Now, the two of you must swallow your pride and live out the events of Equestria's most popular slow burn romance manga to return to the real world. But with the Princess Procession having already started, you'd better get through it quickly if you want to return to the parade before its conclusion!
