Sparkler loved her daddy. While mommy worked, daddy played. He made her smile, laugh, and enjoy even the simplest things in life. Yes, Sparkler was happy. With a mommy who is a beautiful princess, and a daddy who knows how to make her smile, what more could she ask for? Life was perfect... Until other fillies at her school tell her just how awful her and her daddy were.

"Her thorns dragged holes deeper into her soul. She was irreparable. They would never know of her pain. They would never understand her depression. Her life was a void of solitude and imperfections. She was alone, except for her thorns."

Depression is an internal struggle Roseluck is forced to experience, but her misery is reflected in the one thing that makes her life meaningful. Now, all that is left of her is emptiness and despair, and she cannot force herself to live like that.

...Fluttershy would never kick a puppy on purpose, would she?

This story is a sequel to Shadow of the Sun

Story 5 of the Savage Skies series:
Autumn has arrived in Ponyville. The harvest is in full swing and all is as it should be. After enduring the trials of the past few months, Dawn Lightwing is looking forward to what promises, hopefully, to be a peaceful season before a tumultuous winter. However, the coming season has the unwelcome effect of bringing his enemies closer than he feared. However, he is fortunate to have a loving family, good friends, and somepony who is maybe more than just a friend.
The series begins in Foal of the Forest.
Now with a TV Tropes page.

The land of Equestria was always one filled with light and positivity, but the darkness has been amassing, the Sin, embodiments of the evil of ponies' hearts and souls, have struck, many ponies have died, and only 4 centers of civilization remain, Canterlot, Ponyville, Bearussia, and Neigh York, the last vestiges of hope for ponykind, and they are mere motes of substance waiting to be consumed.

Princess Luna, a powerful mare who has seen first-hoof into the abyss of darkness and evil, has used her and her sister Celestia's magic to summon warriors of light, heroes that will save the land of Equestria.

She was expecting 1, 2, maybe 3 tops, and if Lady Luck was on her side, 4, but she received, not 5 or even 6, but 15 fighters to help this task.

That's not what was surprising about them, what was surprising about them was that they were not even ponies.

Some ponies think that a life of crime doesn't pay. That it's all getting shot and doing drugs and spending time in jail. The reality?

It's like any other job. Tedious, meticulous, and rarely as exciting as it looks.

Sometimes the most exciting things that happen when you're a career criminal aren't even on the job. And sometimes, even in the midst of explosions, bank heists, and drug deals, you still have time to yawn. Or crack a few bad jokes.

The Doctor has messed up. Because of him the entire world is in disarray. So much damage has fallen into the world due to the sins Time Turner committed. He should be dead now, but he isn't and when everypony finds this out they're going to make sure he gets what he deserves.

But he can't die, not just yet. He needs time to try to make things right, to undo the wrongs he has done, and bring the world back to order. And after finding an oddly familiar young mare, his only hope of succeeding, things start taking a turn for the worse. With the world against them, the two will need each other if they want to survive the cruel ruined world of Equestria.

We all know the story of "A Canterlot Wedding" by now, but what if Chrysalis wasn't the first impostor to take Cadance's place? What if the deception went back a lot further than that, back to the princess's very childhood? When Changelings are involved, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

A new craze has taken Twitch by storm... and now it's affected our dear sweet Sweetie Belle!

Inspired by Twitch Plays Pokémon (duh). Story is completely random and contains marshmallow ponies. You have been warned.

If she had been a good little filly, she would have listened to her mommy and daddy and her teacher and the esteemed mayor of Ponyville. If She had been a good little filly she would have stayed indoors, hiding under her bed as she waited for the Royal Guard and the Princesses to arrive and deal with the dragon. If she had been a good little filly, the kind of child that always got what she wanted for Hearth's Warming, she would not be on the trail leading up the mountain, to where the dragon now rested.

Glitter Belle is not a good little filly. She is a curious one, whose curiosity has brought her face to face with a very, very large dragon. Let's hope it's in the mood to talk.
