When Rainbow and Rarity visit Canterlot, the last thing they expected to see was Fluttershy heading to a secret meeting. With a colt, no less. What else are a pair of curious girls to do but relentlessly stalk their shy friend for the rest of the day in the hope of seeing something a little less innocent than a mere date?

Nothing. They will do nothing else.

Prince Blueblood is absolutely convinced that Tempest Shadow has lied to Princess Celestia and that she is still plotting to conquer Canterlot. Now it's up to him to stop her.

Unfortunately, he is (a) dead wrong, (b) not a fan of comic books, and (c) not trained in espionage, counter-intelligence, special operations or anything else that would be useful in such a situation. But he does know which flowers go well with her coat and what restaurant can offer the best candlelight dinner opportunities, so... that's... a start...?

Prince Blueblood / Tempest Shadow, because I love my random and obscure shipping constellations these are two very different, very fascinating characters who can probably learn a lot from each other. (Also maybe some Capper/Celaeno on the sidelines later on?)

Content warning is again on the "better safe than sorry" side: there is no suicide, and the only reference to self-harm will be when some of Tempest's scars are discussed.
Took out the warning label for the time being. If I or others feel now or at a later time that it should go in again, it'll go in then. Thanks to the commenters so far for the feedback on when to include it!
Also a mild spoiler warning since this takes place shortly after The Movie.

(Featured Box on March 4, 2018? Thank you all!)

After a terrible storm sweeps through the Everfree, Fluttershy finds the weakened but still powerful King Sombra on her doorstep. Unable to resist his dark magic, she finds herself trapped by a spell that forces her to aid him, protect him, and heal him until he is strong once more, all while keeping his revival a secret from her friends. Unwilling to risk bringing her friends into the situation and endanger them, Fluttershy decides on a riskier tactic

If she could reform Discord, why not the Tyrant of the Crystal Empire. After all, with his spell keeping her from betraying his presence, it might be her only hope. Can she kill the Dark King with Kindness? Or will the ancient sorcerer once more stretch his shadow across Equestria?

Equestria is not what you thought it was, and neither am I.

Through his story-like journal, Blueblood reveals a host of Equestrian secrets and offers a glimpse into the nation's precarious past and its relations with the rest of the world. The truth behind the Prince's character will shock even the most learned historian and alter the way the royal family is viewed forever.

This story is a sequel to Prince Blueblood vs. the World

Sequel to Prince Blueblood vs. the World.

It started with an innocent enough request. Princess Celestia asks Prince Blueblood to host the Grand Galloping Gala this year. His life goes downhill from there.

NOTE The characters will be updated based on the present chapter.

DISCLAIMER: this is not a Scott Pilgrim parody.

Please don’t look for me.

Those words are found scrawled on a stretch of royal parchment. The hoof writing and the magical seal are both Celestia’s. Luna rises to the occasion and handles all royal duties, and Princess Sparkle is there to aid her, but it’s not enough. Panic and disarray sweep through not only Canterlot, but all of Equestria.

Why should Prince Blueblood care about that, though? He doesn’t care… He doesn’t care about the fate of a bunch of peasants… They riot about anything, after all. And Luna and Sparkle can both handle the ins and outs of an empire. The fate of his Aunt Tia is what keeps him up at night. It’s a comment against her that sets him off. And it’s a desperate hope to save her that will cost him…

Rated Teen for language, some violence, and some dark themes to come.

Updates daily.

Everybody knows the story of Twilight Sparkle and her friends, from the time they got the Elements of Harmony, to the point where they co-founded the first Council of Harmony.

But every story must end, and every ending is a beginning, and this beginning is for their children. This is the story of the first great adventure of Starburst, Prism Bolt, Anthea, Turquoise Blitz, Crystal Clarity, Golden Delicious and Cotton Candy, as they embark on a journey to save Equestria from a new threat!

TRIGGER WARNING: This universe supports Flashlight, so if you are still hurting over your lost waifu, then turn back and leave. No need to be hating on here.

Pandora is a remarkable creature, the union of two souls nopony in a million years would have bet on. Naturally, it can be frustrating when the rest of the world fails to acknowledge this, instead choosing to fawn over simple, run of the mill ponies.

Like precious princess Skyla and her precious little wedding.

It's understandable that, being a draconequus, one might be instinctively inclined to wreak a little havoc in such a scenario.

Too bad that havoc has such a habit of getting out of hoof, and maybe turning into a surprise kidnapping of the heir to the Crystal Empire's throne.

But hey, it's all good if you save her in the end.

Right?

Years have passed since Radiant Hope last saw Sombra, their parting words something she'd never forget.

Since then, Hope dedicates much of her life to piecing together the puzzle of why Sombra turned out the way he did in between the secret experiments she conducts with her new and mysterious friend, Nickel. And after countless trials and tests, she finally has an experiment which may reveal some answers.

However, when Nickel learns about the experiments Hope performed behind the scenes, he has a few questions to ask her. And Hope uncovers something much more shocking outside of her experiments.

Based on "Fiendship is Magic #1" of the official comics. Originally written for the Writeoff under the pseudonym "Flying Fish."

This story is a sequel to Barnstormer

Pan Flash isn't Pinkie Pie -- but she does play her on TV.

Now with a most excellent reading!
