"The first time I came back, I thought it was a miracle. By the fifth or sixth time, I knew it was a curse."

Death is a reasonable fear, but it is also a constant reassurance. A promise that no matter how bad things get, they will one day end.

That promise was broken, leaving Rainbow Dash to pay the cost.

A very last minute entry for the 2024 SciFi Contest III.

Special thanks to ScreamQueen and Rb for prereading and valuable feedback.

General content warning: Some depictions of blood, death, and debilitating injuries, but no graphic descriptions. Some existential horror.

After Pinkie Pie mixes a dash of "retrospective rum" into a cake, she and Rainbow Dash find themselves in the frozen wilderness north of Equestria. They don't know where exactly they are, and neither do they know exactly when. Pinkie is ever the optimist, but Rainbow is less so.

Scootaloo's lived her whole life with a secret. A secret that could change the way everypony looks at her. One day she decides to tell Rainbow Dash about it on a whim.

I don't really have a plan for this fic, It's just gonna be my pet project. I'll update each chapter whenever I figure out what I want it to be and write it out.
(Cover picture is just a quick modification I did of a changeling png. I know the wings look weird, transparent things are hard.)

"A troubled young man commits suicide and wakes up as a pony in a world of friendship, magic, and technicolor equines. He encounters a lavender alicorn who has been tasked alongside her friends with solving his “friendship problem”. Unfortunately, he sees no hope for himself in the fragile affairs of deep interpersonal relationships and wants nothing more than to live a better life in his new world, one without the “magic of friendship”. However, his incompatibility with a world founded on friendship means that he must rely on others, and, in doing so, he will learn what it means to have true friendship."

This is my first time posting on here (and my first non-short story/fanfiction). Hope you enjoy!

Everyone Rainbow Dash knows is dead.

She is now 60 years of age and lives with Scootaloo, who is 49 years old and her only friend in this new age.

She no longer is the fastest flyer, still fast, but not nearly as fast as she once was.

She lives as a legend in a world that forgets her, and as of now, she tires of it. She hopes to forget her troubles by letting the sky guide her like it did so many times before.

Even though it is technically after, I apologize if some of the events at the end of the show are not taken into consideration as I have not finished the show. Everything about this is a parallel universe.

You could think of this story as having an old man Logan-style gimmick, with one of the main characters living in an unfavorable future.
Thanks for the love story got on the not mature featured list yay!

No art is mine unless stated otherwise.

This story is a sequel to Our Name Across The Multiverse: 10 years later

Moving forward isn't easy sometimes; Sometimes, you just need a little help from others. Others who will help you find your spark. The spark to start over, the spark to live, the spark to keep going...a spark that will never burn out within the darkness...
And that's why Rainbow Spark will help four poor souls who are suffering by the hands of a evil being, who goes by many names. Names like Reader, Destiny, Watcher, Writer, and now as Fayth.
Spark, along with different versions of the mane six, Starlight and Sunset, will show Fayth that even if she can rewrite someone's story to become a sad and awful bad ending, it can still be rewritten into something happier—a happier ending—something that will make the poor souls she has tormented happy again.
...all it takes is just a spark. A different kind of spark. The spark that resides in the hearts of all.
...Friendship.
