''The End of Ponies'' is a WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfic by {{Creator/shortskirtsandexplosions}}.

A horrible cataclysm has turned all of Equestria into a Wasteland of barren ash and twilight desolation. The Sun and the Moon have been destroyed. Everypony has died — including [[PhysicalGod Princesses Luna and Celestia]]. But one pony miraculously survives; she is a lone wanderer, the last of her kind, surrounded by menacing creatures that hate her. She navigates the Wastes in an airship and scavenges off the blighted landscape to keep herself alive.

Other than that, [[spoiler: the protagonist is Scootaloo and therefore a pegasus, and the "old companion" of hers mentioned in the description is Spike.]]

ALL the way through... And be none the worse for wear]]. However, while she's certainly capable of taking a lot of punishment, there's only so much otherwise-fatal damage she can tank until the Magic anchoring her to the Past starts to fade, which can fling her back to the Present.

Any relation between these references and the contents of the chapters is not immediately obvious (with some exceptions, such as "The Moon is Hollow and I have Touched the Pie", where [[spoiler: Pinkie Pie's mortal remains are literally buried under a hollow chunk of the moon]]).

* OddFriendship: the Last Pony and Bruce.
* OlderAndWiser: [[spoiler: Spike, thanks to his experiments with time travel, is 300 years older than in canon, even though only 25 years are stated to have passed since the time of the show. He serves as a mentor and ally to Scootaloo, and provides the means of her time travel.]]
