Through a miraculous and cruel twist of fate, Sombra has survived death yet again. However, his many defeats have left him broken and near feral, and the Princesses see no option but to lock him away. Starlight Glimmer, seeing more than the rage and hate the others see, feels pity for the fallen king, and offers to take Sombra under her care to try and reform him.

She quickly finds out Sombra's more broken than anyone believes, and it's going to be a rocky road to redemption, but even the darkest shadows can take solace in the starlight.

Now with an audio reading by AJ the Autistic Pony and friends!

Chapters ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, and SEVEN available now!

Applejack and the Apple family are prepared for a visit from their best-kept secret—Applejack's autistic younger brother, Calvados. "Cal" comes home from a special school in Fillydelphia, and during his visit, the Mane 6 must try to make him feel welcome in spite of his differences. With the Apple family's usual work and an upcoming celebration making the whole town busy, this will soon prove to be a difficult test of friendship and teamwork.

But not nearly as difficult for anypony as for Applejack.

Above all else, the Apple family makes time for, and takes pride in, family. Applejack struggles to keep this in mind, reminding herself that her decisions were for his benefit. However, even a pony as morally strong as Applejack can't keep hiding her guilt, and she resolves to fight back the shame of having a brother with autism. Meanwhile, Cal struggles to adjust to his stay in Ponyville, but if he can avoid the panic and stress—something no autistic colt can take lightly—AJ's little brother may just surprise her. And himself.

Ever since the return of Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia has noticed that her student and her friends have been getting into a lot of trouble, so, naturally, she worries that they may end up getting hurt while they're unable to protect themselves. Thus, she assigns a very special guard to keep watch over them, without them knowing, of course.

Ever since he'd met the Princess, he'd been serving her faithfully, how could he not? But when she tells him to head down to Ponyville to keep her student and her friends safe, he can't help but wonder if this is the best use of his time.

Unfortunately for Emerald Skies, a job is a job, and he'd be loathe to ignore an order from his Princess.

When the Cutie Mark Crusaders see a golden opportunity, how far will they go to get what they want? This story highlights the parallels between the episode "Ponyville Confidential" and the TV series "Breaking Bad." While it may seem preposterous that such a thing can be done with two media on the opposite ends of the grimdark spectrum, I think you'll be surprised how well the stories blend. It's a real testament to a kids' show when you can say about it, "that last episode reminded me of Breaking Bad."

Though this story is safe for general audiences, it contains SPOILERS for the first 4 seasons of Breaking Bad..

This story is a sequel to The Magic Inside

Camp Everfree is here, and a certain couple couldn't be more excited.

Coppermane was thrilled to attend camp with all his friends, but mostly to spend time with his princess in a different setting. Fluttershy couldn't wait to be out in nature with her prince, and show him the true beauty of the world around them.

But when the magic around them starts to get out of control, Fluttershy and Coppermane may encounter their biggest relationship obstacle yet.

Sex tag is for some suggestive content at the end.
