(Optional) Sequel: The Dusk of Troubled Views - Fimfiction

Takes place a month after The Last Problem

Featured on 4/26/2020, and 7/21/2020? Wow.

Freed from her entombment, Cozy Glow finds herself a student once more. At Twilight's behest, she embarks upon a new programme of friendship study, under the watchful (and suspicious) gaze of Twilight's protégé, Luster Dawn.

As she embarks upon her studies, Cozy Glow finds herself reconsidering everything she once took for granted, and Luster finds herself wondering what circumstances could have led the filly down the path of destruction she'd chosen. Yet Equestria seems far from ready to accept the filly who almost brought the empire to it's knees - Legion of Doom or not.

In this story, Cozy Glow wakes up after being thrown into Tartatus, then being brought back by "Grogar" and finally becoming a stone statue with Chrysalis and Tirek...or she thought it happened.
When Twilight Sparkle appears nearby Cozy, a little pegasus is terrified and remorseful, but headmare quickly fills her in on everything that happened during and after the moment Tirek fled Tartarus, almost wiped out all the magic from Equestria and even almost killed Cozy. She also knows from Princess Luna that Cozy had nightmares of being thrown to Tartarus and then turned to stone.
But there are some things Twilight wants to know about Cozy.

After Twilight is crowned the ruler of Equestria, she feels sorry for Cozy Glow being petrified, as she is just a filly. Feeling sorry for the foal's fate, Twilight decides to release her from the statue prison. But after doing so, Twilight realizes that Cozy is no longer that megalomaniacal filly from before, but just a filly that is emotionally unstable. Cozy reveals something to Twilight about her. Twilight then realizes that she will have to play an important role in Cozy Glow's life.

After putting on the Element of Magic, Sunset Shimmer was shown just how much of a monster she really is. But that wasn't all the Elements did to her.

Sunset has now been forced to serve penance by answering any question truthfully and by doing anything asked of her, whether she wants to or not.

And she really doesn't want to.

Until all of the hatred in her heart is gone, Sunset is at the whim of her peers, unbeknownst to them of course. Can her new "friends" help her down the road to redemption?

If not, there's always that other Twilight Sparkle she keeps running into.

The history of Equestria spans dozens of centuries, and many terrible foes have risen up from the past to threaten the future once more, only to be defeated.

When a vicious and powerful enemy older than any Twilight, her friends, or even the Princesses have faced before returns, they will have to reach out to an ally just as ancient for help... but is she still the heroine she once was?

This story takes place after the end of Season 3.

Maud did not love Rainbow Dash.

Maud did not understand love.

Maud understood war. Maud understood battle. Maud understood loss.

Those are the things Maud understood.

[Maud/RD - Season 5 finale AU]

After staying away from her friends for years, Fluttershy is stunned to discover Rainbow Dash on her doorstep looking injured and asking for sanctuary in her escape from someone she won't name.

Full cast audio reading with special word from the author can be found on my YouTube channel here, starring TheLostNarrator, Illya Leonov and Starryflame.

After four harrowing years of civil war brought about by Nightmare Moon's return, Canterlot has finally fallen. Princess Celestia has been banished to the moon, and now a new alicorn rules over Equestria. For the supporters of Nightmare Moon, the new eternal night is a time for celebration. For the ponies who fought for Celestia, it means something else entirely. For when the war is lost and the victor demands fealty, the vanquished are given only two choices: bow low and kiss the ground beneath her hooves, or die.

Not everpony who bows does so out of love for the conqueror, of course. Some do it to bide their time. Some do it out of a sense of opportunity. Most bow merely to survive. All of them are liars. But how long can a pony tell the same lie before it becomes the truth?

And what happens to that pony when their lies are lies no more?
