MLP: FiM is a superbly executed testament to the power that skillful execution has to elevate any subject matter. All it had to do was be pink and sell toys. Instead, it dares to not talk down to its audience. It presents complex personalities and issues in simple ways. It lavishes traditional squash and stretch and secondary motion all over its potentially simplistic, flash-like character animation. It transcends its demographic target and appeals to anyone who appreciates humor, sincerity, and a solid dose of cute.

I don't think I'll actually write an Uncharted/My Little Pony crossover, though. For one thing, I'm having trouble imagining ponies doing the amount of climbing Nathan does.
Although I suppose Nathan could be a pegasus pony. In a Friendship is Magic recasting of Uncharted, he would probably be Rainbow Dash.
But I'm still not going to write it. This isn't one of my massive 'I'm not going to write it' lies; I genuinely don't think it would work as a fic. The concept isn't strong enough for a recasting to have real potential.
BUT WAIT: WHAT ABOUT A STRAIGHT CROSSOVER, RATHER THAN A RECASTING? WHAT IF NATHAN FOUND ANCIENT CARVINGS THAT LED HIM TO EQUESTRIA?

That could work!
