The first chapters were posted on January 21 2012 and the story was marked as Complete on 31st August 2014, with 31 chapters, excluding the epilogue and the prologue.


Synopsis: After a bad decision my life had apparently ended. The Grim Reaper was in a rush, but the big boys up there wouldn't allow it.
Cutting a deal with Death and ending up in a world I never thought I would see seemed like a blessing but soon, things got complicated. Was it a new chance, a dream coming true or was my soul still trapped somewhere between worlds?
I wrote this book so everyone would know the adventures of how I found the Stairway to Equestria.

----
!! Stairway To Equestria contains examples of:

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After Celestia tries to [[IDidWhatIHadToDo justify]] her [[KangarooCourt actions against Blink]], stating that she would [[WhatIsOneMansLifeInComparison sacrifice one]] to [[TheNeedsOfTheMany save many]], Luna counters with this.
--> "And what if that one pony would be [[SadisticChoice your student]]?"
* EnemyWithin: Similarly to Luna, Midnight Blink has [[spoiler: an inner Nightmare of his own that he has to deal with constantly throughout part two and three of the story.]]
* TheHerosJourney: The main character undergoes a long journey in part 2 of the novel, travelling all the way to [[spoiler: the Gryphon's Lands to 'pay' for his actions.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Celestia punishes Blink by [[spoiler: sending him to the Gryphon's Lands to pay for his crime of attacking an ambassador of that kingdom in self-defence.]] She believed that to be a good decision initially, as she had Twilight in mind the whole time.
** Luna doesn't buy it, as all evidence indicates that Celestia merely wants Blink away from Twilight by any means necessary and jumped at the chance.
* OppositesAttract: Twilight and [[spoiler: Midnight Blink]].
* RankUp: Blink gets promoted to Captain of the Royal Guard so that he can be present in the War Room meetings, [[spoiler: Chaser also gets promoted to Captain of the Royal Guard when Midnight Blink gives him that title before the battle of Struthill]]
* RevolversAreJustBetter: Blink buys a rare example of this kind of weapon and uses it throughout the story in various fights and scuffles.
