Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, forced and fused together into nightmare landscape, become a joined, two-headed creature set to quell their daughter's nightmares. Twisted versions of their world compose the journey to stopping Nightmare Sombra.

How much of this strange world, however, is born from how Flurry Heart views the ponies and the places in her life?

The last few weeks have not been easy.

I'd finally been able to move out of the home I've been living in in the area i've been living in for pretty much my whole life.

The move, setting things up and adapting to my new home's differences and the new location had not been easy.

Still, I'd gladly take that stress over what I'm stuck with now. One moment I'm walking through the city to head back to the house and the next I'm Cozy Glow, hovering between a buffed up Tirek and mutated Chrysalis and it looks like the Rainboom Laser of Death is headed our way.

Oh, and, before we switched places, Cozy somehow became and Alicorn.

What the fuck is going on?!

Was inspired to write this after reading My Life As A Psychopathic Nine Year Old Filly and thought I'd give it a shot, as writing a character stuck as Cozy Glow and dealing with the aftermath of all her shit, especially the finale, would be funny

Wow. Honestly was not expecting that. Thank you, everyone. I will try to do my best to make this story worth that praise.

It has been fifteen years since the Battle of the Bell, that terrible day when friendship failed and the forces of evil were triumphant. The conquerors of Equestria carved the land into three and settled into their rule, comfortable in the knowledge that nopony would ever be able to stand against them again.

In her home, a manor-house she calls Story's End, the Empress Cozy Glow receives an unexpected visit from a most expected visitor. It's a night she has long anticipated; the absolute final victory over the forces of light and love. After all, what has she to fear?

How much of a threat could an exiled princess from the far north possibly pose?

One week after Flurry Heart is crowned the Ruler of the Crystal Empire, she runs into Cozy Glow.

For FanofMostEverything's second Imposing Sovereigns contest.

Special thanks for Miller Minus for his feedback and editing!

Twenty years. Twenty years spent sitting on a stone plinth, with birds getting absolutely everywhere. That kind of experience can change a pony, or a changeling. As long as she stays ahead of the newspapers and mail service, that story might even hold up.

A story about grudges, love, and the power of unremitting hatred.

No particular reason for the T rating, just covering my bases with how much Chrysalis teases ponies.

Special thanks to everyone who reads my works, follows me, or just happens to look at this -- you deserve to be happy too buddy, just like all our little buggy friends and even Chrysalis herself.

Written as my entry in FanOfMostEverything's Imposing Sovereigns II contest.

Celestia has held off telling Twilight Sparkle about her immortal biology for years.

And now that she's told her successor about it... she'll wish she hadn't.

Special thanks to Toriandthehorse, for being a wonderful proofreader, editor, and friend.

Now with a Russian Translation by Nogood (who despite the name, is a good pony).

Now with a Korean Translation by B1ackSteel! Thank you again!

In an alternate future of cold and ice, the only remaining bastion of Harmony is the Crystal Empire.

Equestria has been gone a long time, and Luster Dawn has never known a world where the magic of harmony and friendship was abundant. Outside the Crystal Heart's protection, there is only snowy wasteland that stretches on for eternity.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has decided it's high time Luster Dawn see the world beyond the Empire's borders, and it just so happens that Flurry Heart wants to come along.

This was written as part of a live write right after the finale aired. Every chapter of this story will probably be written like this, so watch out for me going live with writing!

EDIT: canceled, simply because the livewrite method of writing was unsustainable.

-GM, master of spoilers.

The grinning flower shall rise. The five shall fall. The sixth shall split with the different desire. The church will form, and a patch shall spread. The Meadow will grow and spread till all are part of it. Hail the grinning flower, bringer of joy and sorrow.

Princess Flurry Heart seemingly disappears from the Crystal Empire to attend to a deep secret of hers.

As a member of a royal family, it was always expected that Flurry Heart would come into a leadership role at some point in her life. But nopony could ever have expected it would be while she was still at a young age, as is the case when her parents are away on official business one day. And so begins the glorious reign of Flurry, apparently.
