For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?

Here's the official TSC:F Music Intro: The Sweetie Chronicles: Fragments

WDTP: S2/3-CE
You can also visit the TV Tropes Page which has spoilers!

Luna finds out about Pip's life, and decides to adopt him. This leads to her going to Ponyville much more often, and seeing more familiar faces. Feelings that she can't explain begins to develop in her.

Fluttershy had reservations about flight camp. But a strange filly with rainbow hair who runs into her - literally - may just have the power to change her mind about camp, the other ponies, and herself.

This story will have lots of very short chapters.

Early one morning, Fluttershy finds an abandoned foal on her doorstep. Not wanting the young child to be abandoned, she takes the foal into her own custody.

As Scootaloo starts to look up to her more and more, Rainbow Dash wonders if she has what it takes to be a good sister.

After Twilight screws up a spell (again? you think shed be good at this thing) The mane 6 are transported to Earth, Without sufficient magical power to get back, the 6 must find their way in this mixed up world.

It's been more than a year since Princess Luna's return to Equestria, and she is making great strides in her language skills. And along with this come a slew of new writing skills.

However, Celestia may have a few objections once she finds out just WHAT Luna has been writing...

Now with a reading by Fanficsational!
And another by Doom Pie Network!
And another by FarnesyFudge!
And another by Teksune Studios!

...Almost forgot to mention! This fic is dedicated to FIMFiction user Karrakaz, who requested more silly Luna and Celestia! Hope you enjoy!

Twilight Sparkle casts a spell that allows her to see how many sexual partners every pony in Ponyville has had, and she has to deal with her own reactions to what she sees. Comedy that deals with adult situations in a childish way. Nothing very explicit at all.

This was for a writing group, using the theme of "write MLP fiction based off of a song". My song of choice is 'Everyone Else has had More Sex than Me" by TISM. I suggest watching the video on youtube to better understand this story.

EDIT: Comments contain spoilers, and a very short omake (meaning non canonical, but fun anyway) epilogue by Fluttersnipe.

MLP and the song this story is based from are NOT mine in any way, and are the properties of their respective owners only. This is a fan work.

Pinkie Pie is haunted by feelings of self-hatred, stemming from the day she left her family to be on her own. Never wanting to see her best friend in a crazed state of distress again, Rainbow Dash resolves to reconnect her with her estranged family and bring an end to the personal demons once and for all.
