A human joins the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville during Nightmare Moon's return. He thinks he's going to regret it. He's probably right.

A three part silly short, reboot of the "Hands" universe but doesn't require prior knowledge of that fic. Just for fun.

EDIT: Featured from 12/15/2019 to 12/21/2019.

~~~The other day I was thinking about why we haven't seen Trixie since "Boast Busters" and Luna since "Luna Eclipsed", and this is what happened.~~~

Long ago, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal Princesses. One, the eldest, was in charge of raising the sun and bringing the day to all the different kinds of ponies. The other, the younger sister, was in charge of raising the moon and bringing the night.

A thousand years ago, the younger sister had been banished from Equestria for refusing to lower the moon and attempting to plunge the land into eternal night. After serving her exile, she returned, and the two sisters tried to resume what they both hoped would be a normal life.

But a year has passed now since the younger sister's return... and promises made to her have not been kept. With one final decision, she seals Equestria's fate for the next one thousand years using magic deeper than any other.

A terrible accident leaves Sweetie Belle horribly disfigured. The once gorgeous filly is now deemed a freak, abandoned by her friends and even her sister. Thinking she's all alone in this cruel world, there is one who reaches out to her with the gift of friendship. The results turn out to be a little... chaotic.

This was my first fic. Pardon the crappiness.

Research log #579

It's been over one and a half years ago since the last activation of the device, though the magical signature hasn't changed it seems... weakened, to such a degree that the re-activation is impossible.

As described in the notes of research log #249 any attempt at providing the device an artificial source of magic to power failed, the device simply needed more energy than even the combined magical power of both Princess Luna and Celestia were capable of providing. You must be wondering now, I've already described these circumstances in previous logs so why bring it up now?

Simply said I'm out of options, every attempt of reactivating the device have failed and I'm only left with a single choice. I'm going to have to reverse engineer the device in an attempt to understand the mechanics with which it operates...

...At the risk of maybe never being unable to reconstruct it later.

I'm so sorry Fluttershy, I never should have involved you or any of the girls in the exploration of this structure. I hope that if we ever see you again you can find it in yourself to forgive me.

In the true sense of Mass Effect, this story will be CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) giving you the reader the choice to decide the action of our protagonist.

I hope you enjoy!

We all know Fluttershy, a yellow Pegasus pony hailing from Cloudsdale, shy as a fly friend to all animals and practically kindness incarnate. However, the world can be deceiving, what if Fluttershy was not pony but a rare creature called a changeling queen? What would this mean for Equestria and Fluttershy's friends and who else will be drawn in to the fray in this story of the lost and the forgotten?

Twilight's power, along with that of Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, has been claimed by Tirek. Drunk on power, the demon-centaur is unleashing destruction upon Equestria, his reign of terror just beginning.

But there is hope. A crystalline chest, a gift from the Tree of Harmony, able to be opened by six keys. Keys which Twilight has now claimed the last of. All they can do is hope, hope that whatever is contained inside the chest is enough to stop Tirek.

And then something goes wrong ...

Note: This story is in no way connected with my other fanfics. It's very much a one-off in good fun.

Chrysalis is dying and she has but one thought on her mind. When she is gone from the world, who will care for the one thing in the world she values above life itself?

What will she sacrifice? How much of her pride will be thrown aside? To what lengths will she go to ensure her daughter's life? Will she beg a mortal enemy for mercy, not for herself but for an innocent foal? She is already willing to die for her child so what else could she give to be certain of the filly's sustained happiness?

This is my entry for the EFNW 2014 Writing Contest. I'm really happy with it so it doesn't matter whether I win or not. Seriously I'm glad I got to tell this story.

After dying of old age, Fluttershy ends up in the afterlife, but it isn't what she expected. While there, she meets Princess Luna, who informs her that Equestria still needs her and her kindness and love. Sent back as an alicorn, Fluttershy must overcome her shock and find Discord, to make sure her husband is okay and not gone mad. Twilight, Cadance, Pinkie, and Applejack are all shocked by Fluttershy's ascension and return to life.

How will Fluttershy deal with being an alicorn princess and what will she and Discord do now? What is Discord's connection to Pinkie Pie?

Established character deaths of Rarity and Rainbow Dash and Spike's departure to be with Dragon Lord Ember. Teen for minor sexual situations and kissing. FLUTTERCORD! Don't like, don't read.

Scootaloo was alone. She had been for her whole life, but even a rejection from her idol, Rainbow Dash, hurt so much.

Now, will she stay alone? Or will everybody's favorite DJ pony give her the love and care she deserves?

And... this is what happens when you spend a whole day reading stories about two of your favorite characters.
And why do I always have to write sad things? Oh well. Enjoy! : )
