A collection of various side stories from the universe of "The Wizard and the Lonely Princess". Included are various origin tales for OCs and side adventures for various characters in the main story that were left on the cutting room floor. Want to see Nightmare Moon sneaking around Hogwarts? You'll find that here among others.

While trying out a new animation spell, Twilight Sparkle is interrupted suddenly by Rainbow Dash. But the pegasus’s sudden crash into Twilight’s library causes more than just a mess of books to clean up. The unicorn’s spell goes wild and ends up trapping Rainbow Dash in her favorite book series, Daring Do. Now Rainbow Dash has to face life in a world of danger, action, and adventure as the assistant to Equestria’s most famous pony archeologist. And while she finds out that the adventures she reads about are bigger and more deadly in real life, her friends back in Ponyville are in a race against time to write a new ending to the story Rainbow’s trapped in and find a way to bring their Pegasus friend back to the real world.

Reality can often be a very difficult thing to deal with. Loss can be hard to bear. And, without warning, everything you once knew can be destroyed in an instance. All these lessons will soon be learned as Sombra reclaims his throne, and his dark intentions are slowly revealed.

(On a side note, Very big thank you to http://tofutiles.deviantart.com/ for making the cover art for this.)

A mlp parody of the movie Frozen. Instead of ice miners, there will be Diamond dogs. Instead of ice, there will be gems! Hope you guys enjoy!

Six young women with bizarre similarities all receive scholarships to a prestigious university. They have no idea that they're all connected in an alternate dimension, and are the elements needed to save the world... but they're about to find out.

Join Twilight Sparkle as her education leads her to discover the truth about her past: who she is, where she's from, and magic in every sense of the term.

I chose to stop updating this fic on here, but the entire completed fic is readable on fanfic.net: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7974487/1/Xanterlot-University

Mane six are humans. Set somewhere on Earth. It'll have sad, dark, and comedic bits, but not enough to warrant additional categories. Will contain alcohol, drugs, language, references to child abuse, and one very small sex implication.

Huge thanks to Lhmac for editing!

Oh and the cover image was made by me with my epically awesome photo-editing skillz and images from the mlp wiki.

Twilight Sparkle has too much magic, and it will take her decades to learn to control it. Her spectacular loss of control during her entrance exam only proves that fact. She is a danger to herself and others.

After Sunset Shimmer’s disappearance, Princess Celestia needs a new student to bear The Element of Magic to defeat Nightmare Moon. With all of Equestria at stake, Twilight Sparkle…is not the pony she needs.

Princess Celestia seals Twilight Sparkle’s magic with the distant promise of one day teaching her.

But there are two diarchs of Equestria. Amidst a lucid dream, an offer is made.

“Hello, Twilight. Would you like to be my student?”

For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?

My eternal gratitude to my editor, LordOfTheWrongs, without whom Night's Favoured Child would not be the story it is today.

Now with added TVtropes!

Pinkie Pie is hired by Ponyville's local newspaper to write an advice column.

Don't worry, she knows what she's doing!

Also, a quick reminder that we are not yet accepting new questions. If you submit any, you run the risk of them being answered in many months. Currently enough questions for up to 24 weeks total (including already published columns).

Tagged random because I don't know what questions I'll be getting.
