Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

This is our Creed. We are Assassins. Our cause: To rid the world of both Chaos and Absolute Order. To establish Harmony in lands that possess none. We were formed 200 years ago, when the mighty Starswirl The Bearded created the Elements of Harmony. These Elements have been passed down through the generations, picking their own Bearers. This generation, the Elements picked six strange girls to Bear them. A farmer, a street performer, a baker, a scholar, a tailor, and an animal caretaker.
With these girls at the helm of the Brotherhood, we hope to end the Templar's activities in Equestria. Though that may bring the entire government to its knees.

I am Den Master Octavia Melody, and I write this so that the future generations may remember our endeavors.

Love Tap has a reputation for being excellent at taking care of children. Twilight needs somepony to help look after the sirens. These two things really shouldn't have any connection, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Spiritual sequel to The SweetieMash Chronicles. Though reading SweetieMash is not compulsory for enjoyment of this story, it helps fill some blanks.

The first story in The Journey of Graves.

Ponyville is getting ready for the arrival of Princess Celestia's marshals, elite of royal guard and travelling heroes of the people. But in all the hustle and bustle of party preparations, a lone traveler slips into town, a young man with business concerning Twilight Sparkle. What that business is remains to be seen, but you can be sure Ponyville won't make it easy for him.
After all, where would be the fun in that?

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

"Awkward, but worth it."
This is the phrase Twilight Sparkle used when Rainbow Dash first attempted to work up the courage to confess her love for Applejack. Rainbow quickly realized that she was right--it was awkward, but worth it. What she didn't realize was just how applicable that statement would be throughout all her life. That first conversation. That first kiss. That first night spent together. That time Apple Bloom walked in on them. That first apology after their first argument. The arrival of that acceptance letter. And on so many more occasions.
Throughout it all, Rainbow kept smiling.
It was awkward, yes. At times so much so that she wished she could sink into the ground and disappear forever.
But in the end, every time--every time--it was always so very, very worth it.

A hidden storeroom has been uncovered in the Crystal Palace. Inside lay the personal arsenal of the late King Sombra. Princess Celestia entrusts Twilight with cataloging all the magic artifacts, but one object in particular draws Twilight’s attention with an eerie ferocity…

Later, when Twilight finds herself in trouble, it’s up to her friends to venture into the human world without her to try to find a cure, of sorts. Some of the Mane 6 venture into the unknown while the others stay behind. However, it seems the ones who stay behind are the ones in the most peril, as secret societies and ancient conspiracies unravel to challenge the very balance of Equestria.

The abandoned story arc for The Golden Armor: Part II.

When light bursts forth in darkness, a shadow is born. The darker side of The Golden Armor resides here, so read at your own risk.

The stresses of being Equestria's newest Princess are starting to catch up with poor Twilight Sparkle. Recently she's barely even gotten to spend time with her friends! It's just meeting after meeting with snobby nobles and arrogant diplomats.

She needs a vacation. A place to get away where nopony can bug her for a few days. And she knows just where to go, to visit her friends in the mirror world!

But how will she react when she arrives to meet... Twilight Sparkle? And she's kissing Rainbow Dash?! WHAT IN THE HAY IS GOING ON?!

When I was little, I came to understand the true meaning about a particular trait of mine. I don’t like to talk about it much because I’m just not much of a talkative pony. Or, well, I’m not anymore, but that’s beside the point. It’s just something I find difficult to talk about, much less explain, because unlike what I see, it’s not all black and white. It’s not like anyone could truly understand my condition anyway.

Well, except for maybe her.
