Now at that 'tricky' age of nine, a moody Flurry Heart is left with her aunt Twilight for the afternoon while Shining Armour goes off to take care of... something. Their time together is more eventful than either one expects...

So I heard there was some kind of Shining Armour Is A Terrible Father Contest on, and I wanted in.

Let's see how we do!

Cozy Glow is preparing to make her move to become the Empress of Friendship. With Tirek's help and the ponies in Ponyville and the School of Friendship trusting her, her plans to rule Equestria are going smoothly.

But while Cozy Glow gets ready to strike, she finds herself strangely drawn to a whiny, nerdy boy named Button Mash. She begins to write on a diary to express her interest in the earth pony while trying to figure out why she wants to be around him and feels jealous whenever Sweetie Belle spends time with him. What happens when she figures out that she realizes that she has developed a twisted form of love for the young gamer?

Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape.

After one-thousand years of being bound in the celestial body, Nightmare Moon is free! Right alongside the poor sap that got bound with her.

Thrust into an unfamiliar world, with scars and memories that are now drastically out of place, this is the story of the former guard captain, Magic Barrier.

Do the words above sound familiar? If they do, then you've probably read my other story, A Pony Displaced. This tale isn't a sequel. It isn't a rewrite, though you might consider it a re-imagining of sorts. It is a tale of progression, one that I hope will show my development as a writer in both skill and quality. But more importantly, it is a story that offers exploration into one simple question. What if Magic Barrier had trotted down another path?

As always, thanks go out to everyone who helped me get to this point. In particular, thank you to Alticron, for editing, proofreading, co-writing, being my idea-wall, and arguably the single biggest reason this story saw the light the day, and thank you to Word Worthy, formerly Izanagi, who also edited, proofread, and threw ideas around with us. It wouldn't be possible without these two. In addition to those two I'd like to thank the newest member of the group Omnicron25 for his efforts in proofing/editing as well. Damn glad to have you on board mate.

Additional thanks to Wing for keeping me company late nights and for being a wordsmith when I needed one.

When Sunset returned to Equestria through the portal there was nothing left alive. Equis was essentially dead, until she returned, was transformed into an alicorn, and gained a new partner to take over the world... an empty world that needs rebuilding.

Set in the wasteland timeline Starlight Glimmer created.

A couple weeks after her first Nightmare Night in Ponyville, Twilight gets lost in the Everfree Forest all by herself, hoping to find a way back to town. As Twilight searches, she comes across a strange flower that sprays out some strange pink pollen. She inhales it, and gets a pain in her stomach. The pollen made her pregnant with a colt that looks like her male counterpart from another dimension (Dusk Shine from On a Cross and Arrow by Conner Cogwork).

Meanwhile, a kid who has been living with his abusive aunt and cousin make his life miserable when his parents are working in Europe. That young boy keeps getting treated like a slave, and barely gets any food. They even force him to clean up the house that they keep messing up, no matter if he was healthy or sick. Then one day, he gets really sick the day his parents come home, unexpectedly to the abusive aunt and cousin. He had a sickness that couldn't be cured. At least he saw his parents one last time before he passed. He then wakes up as the colt that Twilight Sparkle had given birth to.

This story is a sequel to A Tale of Two Dusks

Dusk Shine has never been particularly interested in making friends. Most of his time has been spent investigating the strange conspiracy theories surrounding Canterlot High, with occasional snark fights with his sister.

However, after meeting Sonata Dusk, he promised to help her out, and he plans to follow through with that promise. But between Dusk's inexperience with the whole "friendship" thing, the mysterious events that tend to occur around Canterlot High School, a pair of sirens who are still on the loose, Sunset's well-meaning but unhelpful friends, a mother who seems intent on welcoming a new member of the family, a bunch of students who are still not quite willing to forgive Sonata, and a girl who sees her as a threat for a very different reason, he feels as if he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

Hopefully he'll figure it out. And maybe even discover something greater than friendship.

Reading A Tale Of Two Dusks is not strictly necessary, but it will be helpful!

Also, a big thanks to Tennis Match Fan for the cover pic, as well as for proofreading!

Defeated by the Rainbooms, Aria and Adagio finally have enough of Sonata Dusk, and banish her from the group with some incredibly harsh words.

Broken and remorseful of her actions, Sonata sits alone at a cafe, wondering what to do with her life. It is there that she meets a boy who might be able to help her. A boy who might allow her to redeem herself for her actions with the Dazzlings.

A boy who kind of resembles one of her former rivals.

Just some silly shipping that I dreamed up because I honestly can't think of anything else. Seriously, writer's block is baaaad.

Also, Dusk Shine X Sonata Dusk = DuskDusk OTP. Don't deny it.

Seriously. Just try to think of a better ship name than DuskDusk. I dare you.

Also, I totally made a group for it. For realzies.

When Sonata Dusk tried to return to her home after the Battle Of The Bands, she ended up in the wrong version of Equestria. However, while she didn't find her home, she found somepony willing to help her.

Ever since then, Sonata has been grateful for Dusk Shine's help. And slowly, her feelings for the prince who gave her so much have become deeper and more meaningful than she could ever have imagined. Thus, when a special day for couples to express their love for each other comes around, she resolves to finally declare her feelings for him.

The answer he gives her, however, may surprise her.

DuskDusk OTP!

When Starlight Glimmer went back in time to stop the Rainboom from happening, who would have guessed that so many people from alternate dimensions would stop her?
