The scientists from Earth were able to open a portal to Equestria, which became an unprecedented event for both worlds. Mutual enrichment in culture, mentality, and knowledge occurred, as well as, of course, a work exchange program. Through it, one young agronomist who wished to start a new life found himself in the world of little ponies.

His stay in Equestria proved to be challenging but unforgettable, a path that eventually led him to Sweet Apple Acres… of course, for reasons of his agricultural specialty. However, at some point, something terrible happened, and happiness came to an end. Hordes of zombies suddenly poured out of the portal to his native world, starting to take over the land of ponies.

Princess Celestia declared a state of emergency, and all the residents of Ponyville were evacuated. However, leaving the apple farm was not an option, as a shortage of apples could lead to famine. Only two remained to defend the harvest from the undead – a human and a farm pony. Fortunately, local magic proved capable of making the plants protect themselves.

The battle of life against death begins!..

(Author's Note: This fanfic is a crossover between My Little Pony and Plants vs. Zombies. Its concept started as an excuse to play around with the keyboard or, rather, warm up before continuing work on the main project. However, after some elaboration, it evolved into something more. Essentially, it's just a sketch that accidentally grew into a coherent short story.

Enjoy your reading on a Nightmare Night! :ajsmug:)

I suppose that window you hide behind makes you feel invincible. And why wouldn't it, it is your gateway to interact with beings that are inherently lesser than you are. Pieces of your kinds fiction, mere ideas. However, after all the repeated runs I simply must indulge myself a little. So dear Player. Why do you Continue?

You of all people surely can understand my curiosity. After thousands of loops and thousands of chances, you remain in this pitiful husk of a world that you tore asunder. I spoke many times to you at the end of these runs. Never wanting to give you the satisfaction of progress, I stagnated my dialogue, repeating the same lines from then on. Just like the rest of them. Hoping you would eventually give in and indulge My offer.

However now I understand the reasoning behind your continued efforts to reject said notion. You were afraid. A fear intrinsic with your kind it would seem. That of the Unknown. So with that knowledge at the forefront, I give you a new proposition. To sate your curiosity. Alongside my boredom. Once I destroy this world, this time for good, you will choose the next one to venture. There will be no offer to recreate this world this time, either you accept, or you are stuck with even less than you once had. I look forward to your choice player.

He's spending a lot of time at the scrapyard outside of Ponyville where he works, even outside of working hours. And even when he is home, he seems.....distant. Often muttering to himself, or jotting things down in a notebook he always carries with him. Applejack thinks it might be sleep-deprivation, but he can't shake the feeling that something else is going on. Ash seems to be working on some kind of project, which he calls "The Midland Experiment", but refuses to say anything else about it. Frustrated by his coltfriend's strange behavior, and obsession with his so-called "project", Applejack decides to go to the scrapyard late one afternoon to finally see for himself what's really going on, and when he sees it, all he can do is scream

Long ago, in ages gone by, I was once the daughter of Equestria’s most potent magic wielder, the mighty Star Swirl.

But an ancient evil known as Stygian returned to the world, tearing my family and land from me.

For years, I trained my mind, body, and faith in Celestia’s holy magic, and when I was of age, I became the wielder of my father’s sword.

I alone stood against the darkness, fighting to free the world from his cold, shadowy grasp. Alas, before I could lay the death blow, he cast me through a mystic portal to the future, where his rule is absolute.

To save our world’s future, I must find a way into the past to finish what I started long ago and undo this nightmare.

Many stories have been told of monsters hiding underground; great beasts that lurk deep below and prey on any ponies that are foolish enough to enter their lairs.

Sometimes, however, there is something far more sinister than any beast. Sometimes, the monsters are hiding in plain sight, and you just can't see them because the lighting isn't just right. Sometimes, things that are seen as safe and approached as if they were safe turn out to be the greatest monsters of all.

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.

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.

Cozy Glow has finally reached her lifelong goal! Becoming the endearing, ever commanding, Empress of Friendship! Unfortunately, there are a lot more travesties and setbacks to her victory than she thought. The world she claimed was not the happy takeover she once planned. The world she forged was not the joyful, toy box she had seeked out to play with. The world she tainted was not the powerful empire she once sought after.

She may need a little help to correct her mistakes - nay - the tragedy that befell the planet. Thankfully, she does not have to pay a hefty price to do so...as long as she can resurrect the peace she destroyed, and throughout the land once again. A shattered mirror just needs its pieces glued back together for its reflection to be fixed, correct?!

It all went wrong. She was supposed to take over the world and rule as the Empress of Friendship. Instead, she was trapped in stone with her conspirators. However, Princess Twilight loves giving people more chances...

Maybe she shouldn't have.

At first, no one had been all that worried. Annoyed, maybe, but it wasn't the first time she'd taken off without saying anything. All her friends just assumed she'd gone off to visit her old village, and that was that. She'd be back soon.

After a few days, Headmare Twilight left to check on her. When she came back, she said the ponies in Our Town hadn't seen Counselor Starlight since last month. That's when everyone started to get worried. Word got out. Ponies started to ask around.

It hadn't been until five days had passed that everycreature started looking for her.

Gosh, if only they'd started sooner, they might've been able to find her!

Hey, everyone! I'm- aw, who cares! This is a contest story! You don't need to know who I am or what I write; all you need to know is that this story was written for the Cozy Glow Short Story Contest #4! This was written for the 'Cozy's got a secret' prompt, and the genre/category is black. Grim. Dark. Awful stuff ahead.

I wrote an entry for... the contest before last, I think, right around the time that I started writing. Now, I'd like to say that I'm probably a bit better at my avocation by this point, but my intrusive thoughts won't let me! I'm gonna do my best, but I don't think I'll be able to top my last submission! :twilightsheepish:

Afterthought: I procrastinated. I don't think this is as good. Shrug.

Anyways, be suitably warned of the content within this story! Gore, torture, and a heartless little filly doing the most awful things with a smile on her face ahead! I mean it. This is torture for the sheer sake of it.

We're going grimdark, folks! That is: Grim, Dark. Last warning!

Special thanks to an anonymous friend of mine who I like to bounce ideas for short stories off of! My mind's a swirling vortex of entropy, and without their occasional advice, this story would've been a lot blander!

Also, I stole an image from someone named vanillaghosties for the cover.

Sunny Starscout and Izzy Moonbow didn't think anypony was around in the old, dilapidated and rusted Canterlot when they managed to become alicorns.

Little did they know, however, that there was somepony around.

And little do they know, she's got big plans for them.

Her, and two other ponies who aren't too happy with the prospect of new rulers to continue what Celestia and Luna had done.


A side story to Solar and Lunar. Prior reading is not required to understand this story, but it is recommended.

Very last-minute entry for the 4th Annual Cozy Glow Short Story Contest, combining the prompts:

- From the ruins of Canterlot slunk Cozy Glow...
- Cozy Glow had never heard of Maretime Bay before.

“Golly,” said a small voice, and Luna looked down into dull red eyes the exact colour of blood. A filly smiled up at her, no more than ten years old. “Who are you?”


Written for the 4th Cozy Glow contest, with the prompt Cozy Glow vs. .

Captured, and starved of freedom, the former Queen of the Changelings is kept prisoner inside the dungeons of Canterlot under the authority of Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Twilight.

The longer she was held prisoner, the desire for her vengeance grew stronger.

Then, on one particular day, she soon gained a new inmate. One that was a species Chrysalis strongly hated but had the smarts and the manipulation skills to make up for it.

It didn't take Chrysalis long to understand that, despite the difference between age and species, they share one goal that would drive their motivation throughout their quest, and their lives: the joy of witnessing Twilight and her companions fall, and they would do anything to get to that point.
