''And now, we only need a few more ingredients!'' Trixie said, surrounded by jars and bottles of every size, and several other objects that you would normally find in a witches house. She used her magic to closer inspect a small bottle, one that contained a suspicious looking green moss.

''Uhh... Trixie, what are we doing again?'' Starlight Glimmer gave a wary glance at the wooden bowl in front of her, some of the purple liquid starting to spill onto the table, most probably staining the wood forever. Was it supposed to glow like that?

''Fireworks,'' chirped the blue mare, still focused on the jars floating around them.

At this, Starlight bliked a few times in disbelief and decided to go over all the protection and fire extinguishing spells that she's ever learnt.

Yeah no I'm dead. See you on the other side.

But all jokes aside, I really love how this came out, especially Trixie! I tried to change the way I go about highlights a bit, instead of my usual ''make the shadows pretty and trow in some blurred light at the end''. I think it worked out pretty well!



Also a little bit about this cute piece of masochism! (aside from the obvious reason that I wanted to draw my second favourite ship duh)

One of these nights while I couldn't sleep I started thinking about how cool would it be to draw the characters as paranornal creatures like werewolves, witches and all that jazz. And then I started thinking about a story with them. And then I decied to make an AU because I always kinda wanted to make one but I never had an idead that I found particularly interesting or original (I mean this isn't thaaat original but meh).



So, since I really love these two cuties, I thought I'd try out my idea with them.



Trixie, while she has a natural talent for magic tricks and performances, is still a newbie when it comes to spells that require ingrediets and a longer amount of time to prepare. Here she tought that making a ''firework potion'' for her next show would be a great idea. Not sure if puting moss and a glass eye would be very... eficient. Good thing her purple girlfriend ended up convincing her not to use it. She probably saved the front rows of the public from becoming purple mutants or something.



Starlight, on the other hand, is a powerful unicorn that doesn't see the point of potions and complicating spells, when their world is full of powerful magic. Magic that doesn't require you to get purple goo all over your coat. She's always there to help Trixie though. If anything she can get her out of messy situations and small explosions when something goes south.



Now, not all the withches will be unicorns, a good example of a powerful non-unicorn witch could be Zecora or even Applebloom. Since all ponies have magic within them anyone has the potential to be a witch. Just like unicorns, while good with manipulating magic, they may choose to be skeptical to witchcraft and other related practices.



So here it is. I have more ideas floating around in my head and I hope I can get them on paper as soon as possible. Also I'm not sure about the name of this AU. ParanormalAU? CryptidAU? If anyone has any suggestions I'll be more than happy to hear them out! ^^
