Ponies One Half

"Ponies One Half" is a My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic crossover with Ranma ½ by Emma Iveli, and only the second ever Ranma/My Little Pony Friendship is Magic crossover.

The premise is simple: Twilight screws up a teleportation spell, and ends up teleporting her and the rest of the Mane Six right ABOVE the Drowned Girl spring; cue them falling in. Ranma and Genma arrive the same day, and get cursed as per canon. They soon meet the Mane Six, and Twilight agrees to help them cure the curse in exchange for helping them adjust to this new world.

Hilarity Ensues.

The fic's original cut in Fanfiction.net is here, and the FIMFiction.Net "director's cut" is here.

 * Bilingual Bonus: Mahoukaze, it can translate to.

 * Even Evil Has Standards:, but even he finds Mami's death scene in Puella Magi Madoka Magica disturbing.

 * Fake-Out Opening: Chapter 30 opens with Shampoo distraught over killing Ranma while Brainwashed, turns out it was All Just a Dream
 * For Want of a Nail: The Mane Six's presence changes plenty of things; see Tenchi Solution for one example.
 * Loofah is a direct result of this, she went after Ranma because Shampoo didn't give him the kiss of death.

 * I Owe You My Life: Ranma has this for Twilight saving him from the Kiss of Death.

 * Love At First Sight: Apparently the case with Chiyo/Fluttershy and Ryoga.
 * Meaningful Name: The ponies' human names are all meaningful:
 * Hikaru Hakumei/Twilight Sparkle: One of Hikaru's meanings is "sparkle", and Hakumei means "twilight".
 * Ran Issanni/Rainbow Dash: A pun on the word "ran", and Issanni means "at top speed".
 * Momo Mochi/Pinkie Pie: Momo is derived from momoiro, which means "pink", and Mochi is a Japanese sweet.
 * Chiyo/Fluttershy: Chiyo means "butterfly", and Onbin means "gentle".
 * Belle Perle/Rarity: Belle is based on Rarity's Fanon last name, and Perle is French for "jewel".
 * Alex Jackson/Applejack: Speaks for itself.
 * Memetic Sex God: In-Universe, Ranma has become famous for having his curse, being allowed to marry more than one girl, being just friends with several more and for a brief period of time having a quartet of amazons acting as his bodyguards (even if two of them were pre-teens).
 * Moe: Chiyo is called this more than once.
 * Mythology Gag: During chapter 45, Momo has come to believe that the vice principal knows about the Spring of Drowned Man and wants to use it for evil purposes. This is a nod to the recent live action Ranma movie, where the villain is the vice principal.
 * Naked First Impression: Akane is again the one on the receiving end, but instead of Ranma-kun, it's Ryoga and Fluttershy she sees in the tub.
 * No Sense of Direction: Ryoga, (of course) however thanks this being in the present, he's now an internet celebrity because of it.
 * Otaku: Shou and Emi. Also, Pinkie becomes one too.
 * Painful Transformation: Tsukiko's slow transformation
 * "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Belle delivers one to Kuno early on, unfortunately since it's Kuno he doesn't listen to it.
 * The Rival: Azusa and Kodachi become these to Momo and Belle, respectively. Original characters are Ran, Hikaru, and Alex's rivals.
 * Rouge Angles of Satin: The fic has these, but they do not detract from the fic's enjoyability. The Recut gets rid of many of the grammar errors.
 * Rabbit Season Duck Season: Haruka pulls this on the bully.
 * Running Gag: Pinkie breaking the fourth wall, Ranma being hailed as a god among men, Genma getting his ass kicked...plenty to go around.
 * Send in the Clones;  creates these on the Mane Six as his first trick. He didn't know the Mane Six took some badass levels, though.
 * Shared Universe: Both the cast of Urusei Yatsura and Inuyasha have appeared meaning that it's more of a Rumiko Takashi-verse rather than a pure Ranma-Verse.
 * The Stations of the Canon: Some of Ranma 1/2's stations are there, but what happens is different. The intros of Shampoo and Ryoga don't occur as per canon, since they follow Ranma and co. from the beginning. And as Naked First Impression shows, no P-chan disguise for Ryoga this time.
 * Take a Third Option: When writing Chapter 43,
 * In universe example: Emi wasn't sure if she should dress up like Human!Yuki or Otaku!Yuki from Haruhi Suzumiya, but then she remembered that in the Haruhi-chan manga there was a chapter featuring Human-Otaku!Yuki so that's what she dressed up like.
 * Talking with Signs: Genma, as per canon. Ryoga also gets into it.
 * Tenchi Solution: Thanks to an ancient Amazon law called The Heaven and Earth Solution, Ranma has this. Doesn't mean he still doesn't have problems.
 * Tempting Fate: Momo says "It's not like  here"....And he appears.
 * Same thing happens eariler on, when Belle says she doesn't think Kodachi'd attack her...And cue Kodachi.
 * Those Two Guys: Emi and Shou, the two Otakus, are this, usually deadpan snarking.
 * Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Tomobiki is too
 * Translation Convention: Equestria's language allows instant translation.
 * Took a Level in Badass: All of the Mane 6 (Rainbow Dash happened to take several levels at once).
 * Took a Level In Kindness: Thanks to Fluttershy, Ryoga has forgiven Ranma, and is his best friend.
 * Troll: Lampshaded; Shou and Emi play trolls during chapter 44 in the grand tradition of Statler and Waldorf. They're even in a balcony.
