Once they were called to restore Luna's power and rescue another princess trapped in another castle. Now, Luna needs the Nightmare Knights to assemble once again to restore something else. As Celestia travels the world on her many adventures and thrill-seeking journeys, Luna realizes she is bored by retirement. In just a few months she has done all that Silver Shoals has to offer. And when she's done looking outward for an answer, she's left to look inward.

She needs music. She needs to show Equestria who Luna is, not who a princess is expected to be. She needs her team to restore what it meant to just be a pony like her. And to do that, there is one place she needs to start. To find herself, Luna needs to restore a love for her darkness.

It has been several years since Chrysalis’ defeat during the Canterlot invasion. Since then, the fortunes of her changelings and kingdom have rapidly declined. With mass starvation, ponies capturing more of her spies and love collectors every day, and her own powers diminished to the point of being a complete non-threat to her enemies, she fears that it may soon be over for both herself and her entire race.

As Chrysalis reminisces about past failures, a pony named Time Keeper crashes a large metal box into her bedchambers. He claims to not only be a time traveller but also to have accidentally killed Twilight Sparkle on the day she was supposed to go to Ponyville to defeat Nightmare Moon.

In an effort to avoid the prospect of the universe tearing itself apart at the seams from the ensuing paradox, Chrysalis agrees to go back in time and live out a facsimile of Twilight’s life herself, and if time allows, she'll work on her own little project: shaping the future more to her own liking.

When Ponyville's spotlight fillyfoolers start fighting nopony is safe. A morning of arguing and the two don't stop until the other is gone for good. But is that always the best thing?

A story of how Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash met as fillies. The joys and hardships of life, friendship, and love and all the surprises that happen along their journey as they become best friends--and much more.

This cute fic includes Flutterdash shipping as well as hints of SoarinFire and TwiLuna.

After about 6 years of hiatus, I have revised and rewritten the whole story so far with the intent of continuing and finishing it. Re-release started in early 2019 with a revised chapter 1. 2020 marks a brand new chapter 9 and the continuation of the tale of two cute social outcasts. 

Thanks to Super3rainbow1 for pre-reading and helping out when I needed someone to bounce ideas around with.

Set after the events of "Confidence", Fluttershy has to deal with her new found feelings for her oldest friend. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash has to come to terms with the consequences of her actions and what they imply about her, and her relationship with Fluttershy.

"My mare, my mare
Don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun doesn't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through..."

Fluttershy goes to visit Rainbow Dash.

Inspired by the Lead Belly song of the same name.

After Angel falls gravely ill Rainbow Dash agrees to help Fluttershy by embarking on a journey into Everfree in search of a rare herb needed to make medicine for him. The trip pits them against a creature dwelling deep in the forest, and the encounter changes Rainbow Dash's entire view of her gentle, reserved friend. As she spends more time with her following their return from Everfree, she finds her feelings for Fluttershy changing and is forced to deal with something she's never had to face before -- something that could possibly interfere with her dreams. While Rainbow Dash struggles with her first crush (with a little help from her friends), a lonely Pinkie Pie struggles with her resulting feelings of resentment and is drawn into an unhealthy friendship with a strange unicorn living on the outskirts of the forest...

I use to think that my life would be more from attending high school, but I was completely wrong. Then somehow in an unexpected incident, I ended up in perhaps a weird world full of anthropomorphic sentient life. Which is more likely complicated since the population around the world is more than 60% are females. In a town from where I woke up, this is how my life changed upon meeting some beautiful girls that helped and got me off of my feet, including being in a herd-er um. . .h-harem is what I meant to say.

It is a time of tension in the galaxy. The ability of the JEDI COUNCIL to see the future is rapidly diminishing, clouded by the DARK SIDE of the Force. As a dark time approaches for the galaxy, places as coreward as Coruscant, as far out as Hutt Space, and every planet in between will soon witness the plan of DARTH SIDEOUS unfold.

The citizens of the planet EQUUS PRIME, their herds governed by the wise and ancient PRINCESS CELESTIA, face an uncertain future as dark and forgotten forces lurk on their own horizon as well. An ancient prophecy foretells the return of the equally ancient NIGHTMARE MOON.

Chapters 1-3 previously published in a colab by The Bricklayer entitled The Equestrian Side of Things.

I expect this to be a fairly slow burn story for when I have time or ideas to dedicate to it. If you have any ideas, I'm open to suggestions! If you don't want your suggestions spoiling other viewers, don't be afraid to PM me! Worst I can do is say no, right?

There are some things we are afraid to tell our significant others, sometimes it's about a past relationship or something we did in the past. Sometimes we hide things from the ones we care about.

Johnny and Applejack have been together for quite some time now. They're the kind of couple that you just know is going to make it all the way. Secrets come out, and things begin to get a little dramatic. The question is will these two become stronger for it, or will they go their separate ways because of this?

Sequel to the story Apple of Another Color
