Ordinarily, Princess Twilight Sparkle is more than willing to welcome newcomers to Equestria, regardless of what type of creature they are or where they come from. However, she might soon find that even she has a limit as she is forced to confront the arrival of the greatest menace known to man: the British.

Like, all of them.

A bit sad, innit?

King Sombra has been living with Rushing Wind for quite a while now. He's used to always finding her right behind him, but when one day Sombra wakes up to find Rushing not there... what will happen? Where is she?

This is a little like Sleepy Hollows... And the suicide/self harm tag is just to be on the safe side.

This is the story of the 3-inch Rainbow Dash plushie abandoned in the wilderness overlooking San Francisco.

Although based off true events, see author's note for more info, this is a work of fiction, exaggerated for dramatic effect, and does not describe any particular person, living or dead. Reader discretion is advised.

UPDATE - On hiatus until January 2024

King Sombra the feared, hated, and reviled regent of the Crystal Empire has finally returned from his banishment at the hooves of Equestria’s ruling diarchs. He awakens to see that his empire has returned with him before he swiftly reconquers it to little resistance.

Without wasting much time he draws up plans to defend the empire, now safely back under his control, from its Equestrian neighbors to the south. And knowing Celestia and Luna he’s surprised that they have not already reacted to his empire’s re-emergence; however, he just brushes it off thinking himself lucky for their sloppiness. As he waits for the princesses' response it eventually becomes apparent that there won’t be one.

Confused, he begins using various methods to try and get in contact with Equestria. After many failed attempts and a worrying report from a border guards’ patrol he starts trying to get in touch with the other countries of the world only to receive nothing in return. Following an even more worrying report from a scouting mission to Equestria and the appearance of a mysterious plague that only seems to afflict the crystal ponies, Sombra is at wit's end.

Determined to find out what is going on outside his empire’s walls he puts his plans of war against and the conquering of Equestria aside and sets out on a mission. A mission that will soon lead him to find out that the world he and his empire have returned to is nothing like the one they left. And the answers Sombra seeks could threaten to destroy not only him, but the entirety of the world as well. 

Something has happened while they were gone, something sinister…

In Progress: Arc 1 ~ The Wasteland

Story will be split up into different arcs with some interlude chapters spread within and between each arc. Some sections of the story will also be prewritten while others are written then shortly posted thereafter (after editing of course😊)!

Different story tags will be added to the story as it goes along so as to not spoil certain story elements for those reading this story as it comes out. Also, additional tags will be written here if they are important, and/or I have reached the tags limit. An archived tags section may also at some point be added.

Additional Tags: OC, Crystal Ponies

After King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis succeeds in taking over and enslaving a large portion of Equestria, a small band of friends come together and rebel against their new tyranical overlord as they become "The Friendship Fighters!" Fighting to free Equestria from Sombra and return it to it's former glory, one fight at a time. No matter how long it takes.

(Obviously inspired by Sonic SatAM, Events occur after S8 but before S9 in case of inconsistencies. Updates also may not always be on Saturday nor in the morning.)

Two Pegasus head to Canterlot hosptial to have a check-up for their expected baby only to hear what no parent wants to hear.
I did not plan for this to be my first story but got some help to write it after some disturbing comments another Fimfiction user said to me.

No calls, no texts, thank god. I hate leaving my phone here now. It could be ringing over and over. Never the general, they had other things. But it could be someone else important, maybe head of the medics. Grievous news to give. I hope it never rings.

i've added a re write, i went through and read this a while later and wasn't too happy with some things.

A short story inspired by this image I saw on DeviantArt.

I saw it and was like... YEP! Storytime!

This is a short story and sloppy written so take what you can get.

Deciding to find a wife, King Sombra arrives in Ponyville and finds the perfect mare: Twilight Sparkle. But how in Tartarus' name is he supposed to win her heart? Charlie Daniels, help him out!

This was inspired by an apparent cut scene from the episode “Slice of Life,” where King Sombra would’ve gotten into a musical duel with Octavia Melody a la The Devil Went Down To Georgia. So, I just ran with that idea and rewrote the lyrics to make it a Twibra story. Enjoy!

Now with reading by Lotus Moon!

In the early morning of Hearth's Warming Day, Sombra awakens.
