This story is a sequel to An Impulsive Temptation

[Note: This story is M/M fluff between Shining Armor and King Sombra, which I happened to write up on a whim between other projects. Also, the cover page is a cropped piece from tejedora on Deviantart]

Several months had passed since Shining Armor, the Prince Consort of the Crystal Empire, began to bond with the very pony who was reviled by the crystal ponies for his sinister reign. The former King Sombra may have been stripped of his dark magic and tyrannical mindset, but his reformation within the castle walls was seen with little optimism by most. Regardless of that fact, the Ex-Tyrant couldn't help falling for the one stallion who was able to see past his mistakes. And likewise, Shining couldn't keep himself from reciprocating those feelings back, despite being married to the Princess of Love.

But much like his marriage, Shining knew that his resistance towards Sombra was depleting immensely as the months they spent together grew more passionate. And even with his attempts to keep a gap between the two halves of his double-life, the Prince knew that his lingering thoughts couldn't be separated so easily. So on the very rare day Shining had where he could spend an entire morning to himself, those thoughts turned into action as he tried to appreciate the time he had with his secret mate.

It has been nearly two hundred years since the megaspells rained fire down on the world, reducing it to a tainted wasteland. The ponies of Equestria get on by, but only just.

A lucky few survived in great underground shelters, the stables. Among these is the lost, and almost mythical, Stable 84. It was said that the stable in question was home to not ponies, but creatures who could change their faces with but a thought.

But that was just a myth, there was no way that the Equestrian Hive was real. Right?

After an expedition into the Everfree Forest ends in disaster, Applejack and Rainbow Dash take refuge in an abandoned cabin until morning.

This is probably a poor decision, but it's only one night, after all. How bad could it be?

A pegasus woke in the woods. He was lost, injured, and had only the vaguest of dreams for memories; nightmares of a Canterlot engulfed in shadow and flame, of an invading swarm lead by one great and terrible dark figure. As he begins a new life, the dreams continue to taunt him. Will he ever find out who he was? And if he does, can he -- and his newfound friends -- accept what he finds?

There’s nothing better than a weekend, a time when you can relax and unwind in the solitude of a dock with nothing to think of but your fishing pole and earthworms for bait.

And pegasi.

So very many pegasi.

No important political meetings to attend? Check! No letters to answer? Check! A magical and child-safe gift for Flurry Heart that she's sure to love? Check!

Her schedule was clear. Shining and Cadence were off on vacation. She'd prepared all her materials. Twilight Sparkle was more than ready to spend a fun-filled weekend babysitting her favorite niece.

But she wasn't prepared for King Sombra's return. Nopony could prepare to be trapped with him inside a storybook of fairy tales.

And nopony's ever ready for an unhappy ending...

This story is a sequel to A Trip Through the Mirror

For a changeling, love is magic, and magic is love. They are one and the same within the changeling body. To share magic is to share love. And we all know what happens when an unreformed changeling shares love. Unfortunately for Chrysalis, she got caught up in the moment and forgot for just a second. But a second was enough...

A "what if?", alternate ending for "Frenemies".

Thorax has the nerve to mysteriously, suspiciously go missing at a political summit that every single major power in Equestria is attending.

It's up to Pharynx has to find him and chew his ear out and make sure he's safe and sound and destroy whoever took him away.

No, he's not worried. That would be stupid. It's just that if he doesn't find Thorax quick enough he's going to raze Bitaly to the ground.

Everything is fine.

The changelings never asked to metamorphose into completely new bodies, but it happened anyway, and they will never change back to what they were. For some, this is one of the most horrific things to happen to their species. For others, it's one of the most awesome.

Flight Camp was a life-changing event for Cloud Kicker. Her horrible fight with Rainbow Dash forever changed things between them, and drove a wedge between Cloud and Fluttershy.

But what if that had never happened? What if Cloud and Fluttershy had stayed together? How would the lives of the three friends be different? What other changes would ripple across Equestria as a result of that one event? Cloud and Fluttershy might be happily married, but how would that change the lives of their friends? Would Rainbow Dash go down a different path to joining the Wonderbolts? How would Rarity's life change if she never met Fluttershy until she moved to Canterlot?

Where would they be today if they'd traveled down the road not taken?
