This wonderful work is a crossover between Friendship Is Magic and The Book of Mormon. It is beautiful and adorable and hilarious. For those unfamiliar with the play, here's a performance of the song "I Believe", which is one of the most moving, stirring anthems I've heard in a long while:

Twilight Sparkle sent many letters to Princess Celestia detailing what she learned about the magic of friendship. These letters, along with many other writings, were collected into a book. The "Book of Friendship," as it was called, contained many teachings of love and tolerance, sharing and caring.

And an organization based around this book sprang up, called the Fraternity of the Joyous Friends of Princess Celestia. And whenever a Brother (or Sister) comes of age, it is their task to spread the word of the magic of friendship across Equestria and beyond.

This is the story of Brother White and Brother Scroll, two young stallions who have been tasked with spreading the word to Earthquake Island. Unfortunately, Earthquake Island is not particularly interested in party games.

I've only read a few chapters, and I'm already in love...

BTW, does anyone feel up to writing Pony lyrics for "I Believe"?

You do realize the guy who writes it is a troper, who often posts in the Pony Fanfiction thread?

Oh, and if you love it so much, make it a works page! Those are a free launch.

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

I'll wait until I've read more. But I'm really enjoying it so far. Wide-Eyed Idealist, the Novel.

From the viewpoint of someone who hadn't even realised it was based on a play,I think it's one of the best FiM stories.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Admittedly, the fic diverges from the plot of the musical in several areas. For example, the main conflict of the fic is a race war. In the musical, the main conflict is a warlord who wants all the girls circumcised.
