(A Firefly/MLP crossover.)

You can’t take the sky from me.

Those are ex-Sergeant Applejack’s thoughts when she buys a fyre-flye class transport ship. For those ponies who have lost the war that unified all worlds under one benevolent tyrant, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere else to go but up. With Applejack as captain, the scavenger crew of Sereinity travels the fringes of the ‘verse, “salvaging” and selling whatever they can.

Until recently, Sereinity was able to pass under the radar of the watchful Harmony Alliance. Now, though, a certain new passenger will make that impossible.

[Note: this story contains three drastically different parts/arcs.]

In an alternate, human Equestria, one's Clan determines everything. Until Princesses Celestia and Luna enact the Harmony Initiative, a law that establishes integration. The first experiment is Ponyville High School, where members of all Clans are selected to attend. But the Initiative is not exactly popular--for students, parents or the Clanleaders. As tensions rise, Ponyville's melting pot begins to boil over. Can a group of six high school students from radically different backgrounds keep civil war from breaking out?
