After Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom returned home from school with black eyes, their elder sisters, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash, took it upon themselves to unravel the mystery behind their injuries.

Confronting Diamond Tiara about the incident, she simply shrugged it off, denying any involvement and claiming ignorance of the events altogether.

Rated teen for profanity, narcotics and violence.

I put the alternate universe tag here, because the CMC in this universe are disabled, in fact this universe’s Equestria and Ponyville are designed with disabled ponies in mind, I wanted to create a world where inclusion and knowledge of disabilities was a thing, since that apparently does not work in real life very well, in real life disabled people are still being prejudiced and treated differently.

With the world at war, Sandbar is a timid pony soldier trying to help wherever he can. As he looked out on to the quiet battlefield, the stallion thought he saw something move. Upon investigating, he discovers an ensnared yak. Together, the two do what they can to survive in an hostile war zone. And there, something between them begins to bloom.

As part of the School of Friendship's upcoming Charity Bake Sale, the Student Six were asked to help with getting everything ready. Sandbar, Gallus, and Smolder were working on decorating the gymnasium, while the others helped make brownies in the Home Ec room. While cooking, Ocellus and Silverstream asked Yona to go into town and buy some extra ingredients.

Yona does indeed find the items they need, but not in town. In fact, the yak found plant-based alternatives for all the necessary ingredients hidden in Sandbar's hiking bag. If only she knew Equestrian Botany a little better...

In the darkest moment of Twilight’s life, where all who she cared for have left her, a voice gives her comfort. It tells her that she is not weak, that she is not worthless, that they were foolish to ignore her. When she is offered power and knowledge that was denied of her, Twilight accepts and changes the fate of Equestria.

This story is going through revision and some editing, anything mentioning Nemoroth or Horus should be ignored.

It is three months after the Royal Wedding, and normalcy has returned to Equestria... for the most part. Pinkie is the same old Pinkie, Rainbow Dash is still addicted to the Wonderbolts, Rarity is still trying to learn Prench... but for Twilight, things are not the same. Ever since the Wedding, she's noticed an almost unnoticeable distance from her friends and from Celestia. This alone would be enough to bother her, but to make matters worse, she has been tormented by a dream that she cannot remember and physically cannot rest for fear of.

The tension is building, and something is bound to snap. If you've felt death and loneliness... what would you do to keep your loved ones from suffering the same fate?

Hello, this is your author speaking.
I know you're anxious to get to reading the story with the cryptic description would just like to point out a couple things before you get reading.

First of all, this is my first MLP fanfic, and it is set as an AU beginning just after the S2 finale, so I would appreciate constructive criticism. Not flaming or silent downvotes; give me criticism!
Secondly, it is important to understand that the AU tag seen above possesses two meanings. Not only is it an AU in the literal sense as it utilizes my own expansive worldcanon (dubbed Nidus) but in addition to that, it is an AU in that it does not accept the events of season three as canon. This is due to it chronologically beginning only 3 months after season two. The events of season three may appear, but they will likely be warped.
Lastly, I need to point out that I will probably be editing the tags and characters as this story goes. This being my first story, I'll need time to get a handle on the nuances of the submission system.
Thirdly, Please tell me if any of the fonts I use in the story go wrong. There are bound to be a few errors even with my prereading, so if you find them do say something.
Finally, I'd like to thank RoseyTail for her permission to use this marvelous image as my cover.

Thank you, and enjoy the story of Dark Horizons.

This story is a sequel to Ponies Versus the Internet

Discord creates an AI and decides for it to run it a new dimension. He calls it "Discord.ai", which is where he goes when he feels like being alone in his own mind. This world has no rules at all, but Discord's AI creates them as needed. It also gives him power beyond anything that can be imagined. Its only purpose is to create worlds and random events. This world allows him to do just that while still maintaining control of the other ones.

Twilight Sparkle is dead. She died in battle, fighting to preserve the uneasy union on United Equestria between the pony races of old Equestria and the space ponies of Unicornicopia.

But in the wake of Twilight's death, the harmony she strove for has not endured. Using their control of the might armed organisation Starfleet, the Unicornicopian grip upon the land has only gotten tighter. Celestia is isolated, Twilight's friends are scattered, across the stars millions live or die at the whim of the Grand Ruler and his proconsuls.

Project Sentinel is the next step in the evolution of Starfleet, a perfect defence against a hostile universe: clone soldiers created from the DNA of the very best that ponykind has to offer. One such clone, Eve, is a physical copy of Twilight, with enhanced strength and none of the pesky moral qualms that made the real Twilight so annoying for Starfleet to deal with. When Eve, together with a small group of fellow clones, breaks free to search for deeper meaning in her existence, she sets off a chain of events that may allow all of Equestria to break free from tyranny, and all ponies to choose their own destinies once more.

Based on the My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic universe by Dakari King Mykan, credit to him for most of the OCs

This is the alternative ending to Anon A Miss originally written by Dainn. I'm just the guy who makes the alternative ending.

Anyway, this is the alternative ending of Dainn's Anon A Miss, where Gilda and her gang were arrested but Rainbow Dash and the CMC are spared.

This is a request story from Chazkopa, and is an alternate ending to Canterlot Wedding. It's based on this, but when Twilight's about to kill Chrysalis, the changeling queen creates a portal and escapes, realizing that with Twilight so powerful in dark magic, she'd be unable to conquer Canterlot.

The Mane 5, Shining and Celestia apologize to Twi, but it's too late. She doesn't forgive them. Twilight angrily turns to them, and broadcasts a recording of what happened at the wedding rehearsal. The wedding guests were furious. Also, when she broadcasted it, not only Canterlot, but all of Equestria saw. And then...

Everything is perfectly fine at the school of friendship, that is until a strange virus breaks out. The entire school is put in quarantine, and no one is allowed in or out. The virus infects all the ponies in the school, but luckily Mage Meadow had come along to help, along with a certain zebra. Hopefully, the two can find a cure in time.
