In the distant future of Equestria, magic and technology have been fused together, and corporations pull the strings from the shadows. The world is a harsh wasteland, and ponies live in sprawling urban areas known as megacities.

For Neon Dream, life couldn't be simpler--or more boring. Despite being the 'best delivery pony in the city', she longs for something more.

She gets her wish, albeit not exactly as she hoped, when a relic from the past appears to be the latest package she was supposed to deliver, very much alive and begging for help. Now, the young mare finds herself pursued by relentless bounty hunters, gangsters and security forces hired by the corporations that run the world in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

All while this stranger keeps claiming to be Twilight Sparkle. But that's impossible, Princess Twilight died hundreds of years ago... right?

After having her parents violently taken from her, Twilight Sparkle, succumbed to unknown magic and influence, turned her back on harmony and declared war on existence itself, until the combined power of the princesses, the remaining elements of harmony and the pain of a broken heart finally crushed her power in half and sealed her soul into the Moon, while isolating the dark influence far away, in the frozen north.

Now, after twenty years since her banishment, the tides of fate have turned once again, as the tainted, primordial magic known as hatred finally shatters her bonds. A Crimson Dawn emerges, ready to devour the very life of the world."

Disclaimer: I DID NOT WRITE THIS, Femto DID.

He deleted his story while ago and he didn't have the chapters anymore on his computer, but I did so I requested him if I could upload Hour of Twilight on account so everypony out there who liked/loved the story can read it once again! I got only up to chapter 14 and I will release a chapter every two days.

His own words in private message (proof): Femto: Alright, you have my permission to upload it, finish it, continue it, do whatever you like with it. But Silverghost and Crimson Dawn are 'copyrighted' XD

We all have our demons. Some are great. Some are small. We repress them, bury them beneath layers of emotion and denial. But whether they’re real or imaginary, everypony must face them in the end.

"Throughout my entire life I have faced many great enemies, but I never would have imagined that my greatest enemies were my closest friends. I mean, I invite them to my kingdom after ten years for what?! So they could bring me down?! No! It's them. It's their fault. It's their fault she's d...What am I supposed to do, Spike? We lost our closest friend because of those stupid ponies! They're all idiots! Princess Celestia and Princess Luna thought they knew how to rule their kingdom, well they forgot one very important thing: power! I need more." "Listen to yourself, Twili-" "Be still! It's Hysteria. Queen Hysteria. Princess Twilight was weak. With this power I will renew Equestria! Yes. I will build a better world!!!" The Queen then started singing to herself, "Feel that donation. Annihilation. The power of my words, kills any nation. Sweet degradation. Politics invasion. Give me the power, to save generation!"

Days prior to the planned march on Rome, Benito Mussolini is anxious.

Oh yes, he has been given the go-ahead from the American ambassador and has thousands of blackshirts and some of the most avant-garde fascists behind him. However, this strength is deceptive, just like the confidence he made sure to wear in front of his fellow fascists; his own blackshirt commander told Il Duce that he would not act against the king if he resisted, and there is still the army loyal to the crown that is ready to fight on his word.

Doubt plaguing him, Benito is now at a crossroad: should he continue as planned or perhaps flee Italy altogether? He decides to take a night stroll to iron out his thoughts.

That is, until a freak earthquake hits Naples and changes history forever.

Also featured on Equestria Daily.

Equestria has changed since The Darkest of Days. Since Celestia's Fall.

Dark forces, once held in check, are left to roam free, for those who stood against them are no more. All that remains are Twilight and her friends. But to stop this ancient threat, they must answer the oldest of questions.

What are the Elements of Harmony really? And what do they want with us?

Takes inspiration from and making reference to: Its a Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door, by Jetfire, (Jetfire has given me permission to use material from DB), this is the tale of Equestria's near future, with Tolkein high fantasy, Eldritch Evils, and even elements of science fiction included.

Still (mostly) show canon. Until the attack on Celestia in the near future leads everyone in a direction they never saw coming.

Note: Currently not compatible with Besides the Will of Evil, Jetfire's official sequel to Dangerous Business.

I would also like to give a big shout out to my editor, 3theCaptain, who made this all possible. Thanks a million Captain. =) 3theCaptain

Non stylized summary:
Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor are all wiped out in a single, massive attack. Over the next few years, three of those four have found a way to contact the world again, only to discover a religion has sprung up around the way they died.
The main story takes place many years after the attack. The young ponies of the show (ie pound cake and pumpkin cake) are just reaching adulthood. Twilight has had to rule alone, and war has broken out as those who would have never dared to attack Celestia and Luna, smell weakness.
The mane six are fractured, the weapon that struck the capitol has left vast areas of the world uninhabitable, and the Elements of Harmony are attempting to communicate with the world, warning everyone that the most ancient threat the world has ever faced has returned. A threat so old, the Elements of Harmony were originally built to fight it.

M.A.N.E.

Mutually Assured Nuclear Extinction.

For fifteen years Equestria has been involved in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with their neighbour to the northwest, the Union Of Saddle Republics. The doctrine of M.A.N.E. has kept things relatively peaceful so far- both nations know that any nuclear attack will be met by a response in kind, and that there are no winners in a nuclear war. But now, border disputes and a few trigger happy ponies threaten to turn the cold war hot...

(Originally conceived as a oneshot, this story has become a series of them because of the massive popularity of the first installment and how it was featured on the front page.)

Pairing: Soarin/Rainbow Dash

Chapter 1: Meet the Parents Rainbow Dash has a brilliant idea: since she hasn't seen her parents in awhile, why not bring her new boyfriend with her to visit them? Unfortunately for Soarin, this means meeting her father and mother (Firefly). Will the Wonderbolt survive the visit? Will I ever learn how to do comedy? There is a single yes and a no between these two important questions.

Chapter 2: Meet the Scootaloo Soarin unexpectedly finds himself introduced to Rainbow Dash's number one fan, Scootaloo, and once again finds himself learning a bit about Dash's world. Warning: Might make you squee.

Some Canterlot entertainers aren't just musicians... and some ponies fall in love with them anyways.

When one of Equestria's most popular cellists appears at Twilight's birthday party, it's just another gig for Octavia, but a shock for Twilight and the rest of the party-goers. She arrives, wishes Twilight a happy birthday, wows them with her beautiful music, wows them with her musical beauty, and doesn't leave until after everypony else has left. So when a few ponies suggest that this 'entertainer' might be more than just a musician... some eyebrows are raised, but nothing more. Twilight is beyond reproach, after all, and Octavia can earn her living however she wants. When she sticks around Ponyville, however, it becomes a slightly different story - Twilight is romantically-naive, after all, and Octavia is... most certainly not.

The romance of Twilight Sparkle, Celestia's protege, and Octavia van Clef, Canterlot's most famous entertainer.
