Flying like a hummingbird, talking a mile a minute.... Where does Zipporwhill get her energy? The Cutie Mark Crusaders are on the case!

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

Fluffle Puff has been good friends with Chrysalis for a while. She lets her feed off her love for her, she likes drawing cute pictures of her, and its clear she REALLY likes her.

But they haven't dated much, if at all.

So when a Tumblr question puts her up for it, she sets out to make the most epic date ever.

Equestria has been partying harder than ever before! Why? A new alicorn has been crowned a Princess of Equestria! Who? Why it's the Ponyville town booze hound, Berry Punch! What? Exactly what I just said! How? Now THAT'S the question, isn't it!? Thus begins the telling of a tale! The Tale... of the Berricorn!

Thanks to the artist sourced through the image! They're brilliant, inspiring this fic. They are just starting a little comic based on the same thing (albeit, different origin story), and I may have borrowed their idea for Berry's alternate Princess name.

This story is a sequel to Lyra - Unleashed

Though I never had been here before, I knew immediately where I was. I was in the deep of my own mind, banished from everything that could make me interact with anything around me. I was excluded from my senses, forced to be the little being I was, alone in the darkness of my mind. There was no way out of the room, no doors, no windows, just these smooth, black walls.

Scootaloo has been living with Rainbow dash for a year now. Her best friend has just gotten her cutie mark and she is getting better at flying. But why does Dashie seem so lonely lately and why does she still think of her mother. Maybe its time that she gets someone for her big sister to be there for her. Maybe its time to get Rainbow a special somepony.

Princess Celestia tires of constantly being surrounded by decorum, deference, and formality, and decides to take a day off from being Princess. But visiting Ponyville incognito is harder than she expects. Will she be able to fit in and make friends without blowing her cover?

An innocuous trip into the Everfree Forest for Twilight Sparkle quickly turns into much more, leaving our heroine caught between bloodthirsty monsters, an ancient conspiracy of evil, straining friendships, and the maddening effects of a certain blue unicorn...

Fearing the consequences of her actions in the bipedal world, Sunset Shimmer returns to Equestria and moves to Ponyville where Twilight Sparkle can keep an eye on her. Sunset Shimmer, bored and beaten, casts about for something to distract her, but soon the feelings growing inside her for Ponyville's princess can no longer be ignored. Nervously, with a little help and encouragement, Sunset begins to open her long-frozen heart to Twilight Sparkle, but when the shadows of Sunset's past threaten to destroy any chance of her happiness in the present, Sunset and Twilight may have to risk everything they have and defy cosmic forces older than Equestria in order to seize their fragile chance at happiness.

Many thanks to pre-reader The Albinocorn, but don't blame him for any errors you might find in the first chapter, because he only became pre-reader after I posted chapter 1
