* ''Fanfic/SharingTheNight'': An unusual variant. [[spoiler:When the stars were first formed, many fell to earth and remained embedded within mortal ponies, granting them a tiny sliver of innate magic. Ever since, every pony has been born with a star inside of them, which is the source of their natural magic and vitality. These move on to other ponies after death, and Twilight speculates that reports of people who can recall past lives might be due to some ponies being able to access the memories of those who carried their particular star in earlier times.]]
