(Marked AU for Angel's unique backstory.)

Angel Bunny has everything he wants in life: A warm place to sleep, the freedom to do what he wants when he wants, and an owner that loves him unconditionally and caters to his every whim. In short, life is good, and he had no plans to make a change.

Then one day, a chance encounter during a routine trip to the Ponyville market dredges up some long-forgotten ghosts from Angel's past, and the bunny suddenly found himself smack-dab in the middle of an intergalactic succession dispute, with the very future of the planet hanging on the outcome.

Can Angel face down the demons he had avoided for so long? More importantly, can he do it without losing everything he holds dear?
