In the aftermath of the ComicBook/BlackestNight and its aftermath, the entities of the Emotional Spectrum powering the various corps fear for their existence. As a precaution, they put a piece of their essence into special rings and cast them into another dimension; the world of Equestria.

However, [[BigBad the Black]] has also found Equestria and begins another Black Lantern invasion. As the prime rings find their new hosts, they must fight against an onslaught of undead terrors...and perhaps even each other.

While all the chapters can be found in the group above, the story begins [[http://fav.me/d5har2t here.]]

!!Lanterns of Equestria contains examples of the following tropes:

* BadassCreed: Naturally, all the Corp's Oaths.
* BigBad: Black Lantern Commander Hurricane.
** BiggerBad: [[EldritchAbomination The Black.]]
* TheDragon: Technically Commander Hurricane to the Black, but [[DragonInChief he's the de facto]] BigBad of the story. His Dragon is [[spoiler:Zecora]].
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Applejack goes into one upon discovering Zecora has been killed and become a Black Lantern.]]
* RedeemingReplacement: Since they're the Bearers for the most part, some of the new leaders of the various Lantern Corps are this compared to the originals. Most notably is Twilight Sparkle becomes the new leader of the Yellow Lantern Corp, and is still her kind, goodhearted self and even removes Sinestro's name from their Oath. The new Star Sapphires (under Fluttershy) probably qualify as well.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Zecora, who falls victim to the Black Lanterns and gets turned into TheDragon.]]
* UnstoppableRage: The Red Lanterns, naturally, but they seem a bit better at controlling themselves than in canon.
* ZombieApocalypse: The Black Lanterns.
