(Based off the events in the Season 5 finale The Cutie Re-Mark - this story contains spoilers for that episode, as well as events leading up to the end of Season 7.)

The ashen wasteland Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer and Spike discovered at the end of their time travelling must have been caused by someone.... But who could possibly possess the power to cause the destruction of all life in Equestria?

In an alternate timeline where Twilight Sparkle and her friends never gained their cutie marks, it's just another long chain of tragic events in the life of the lone ruler of Equestria, Princess Celestia.

All throughout her life, the sun princess had a voice in the back of her mind attempting to convince her to stop caring about what happens to the world or her subjects. The voice is cruel, condescending and cold....

But Celestia can't help but listen... after all....

The voice is a reflection of her own suppressed feelings.

In the aftermath of "A Royal Problem", Celestia wants nothing more than a good night's sleep. However, her subconscious has other plans, as a mistake from the previous night returns to haunt her dreams. Now, Celestia must confront her darker self once again — and learn just how little she truly knows about the dream realm.

Rated for a couple brief mentions of death or physical injury.

Despite an increase in revolts and resistance, Daybreaker rules Equestria with an iron hoof. But for some reason, this granny on an apple orchard keeps subverting her rule and convincing guards to leave the farm unharmed. Daybreaker might have to show up and deal with this herself.

Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity have lived in the underwater world of Seaquestria ever since they could remember; and all they remembered before arriving in the undersea realm was when they were young fillies being lost at sea. They all knew that they were different than the other seaponies, with their unique appearances and lovely singing voices, and they wondered what it was like up in the world above.

After experiencing another storm that stirred up old and faint memories of their forgotten past, they all eventually sneak away from Seaquestria, return to Equestria, and regain their land hooves. All the while, they reunite with their families, go on fantastic adventures, and grow to fall in love with very special someponies or creatures.

However, there’s two things threaten the happiness that they have always dreamed of. Three attractive yet jealous mares with a darker fishy secret, and an ulterior motive other than eliminating whoever they see as competition, challenge the six of them to see who is the better singing group. And that whenever the Mane 6 touch water, they reveal their fish tails as a reminder of where they had been all the time apart from their families.

How can this group of best friends learn how to handle so much? Well, not standing alone and finding true strength within each other is part of the solution.

Ships contained: Flashlight, SoarinDash, AppleSpike, Fluttercord, Cheesepie, and Raripants.

When Grand Pear finally decides to come back to Ponyville to meet the family he never knew he had, he hope that things will work out in his favor. And he hoped that his grandchildren will forgive him.

When you've lived as long as Granny Smith, you've got a right to be set in your ways.

Pear Butter's not gonna accept that.

When Twilight Sparkle had the magical surge that cemented her place as Celestia's student, the amount of power she released not only hatched a baby Dragon, it brought forth something else. Something that shouldn't exist any more.
Something that has Celestia worried.

A fluffy puppy.

[Despite the gore tag it's rather light on that, and they have yet to make a lewd tag and there's a bit of that.]

Season two is live here, Season 2

The Mane 6, Spike, Zecora, and Maud Pie all meet for a private poetry recital in Twilight's hollowed tree home. Together they share their thoughts on many things, mostly in the form of rhyme.

Contains nine original poems, as well as some heartwarming and humorous interactions between friends. Smiles abound.

Having only recently given up her bullying ways, Diamond Tiara still feels she has a lot to learn about being kind. Well, who better to ask about it than a certain shy Pegasus? So the little filly goes to the mare's cottage straight away!

The ponies that were shouting at Luna were angry. So terribly angry.
