Celestia and Luna thought their first day at the Seaward Shoals retirement home would be normal. They never expected to see Grogar of all characters there. The two alicorn sisters are quite surprised to learn what he's been up to in the past thousand years since Gusty the Great took his bell.

Shortly after her coronation as the new Princess of Equestria, Twilight is visited by a creature she never expected to see in person. What's even more unexpected than the identity of this petitioner, though, is his reason for coming.

Unaware of how his image and name have been used, the real Grogar returns to his lair after a long vacation. Naturally, he's not exactly pleased to find out what's been happening while he was gone.

In this alternate timeline, Tirek has been successful in his attempts to take over Equestria. The princesses, Discord, and the former element bearers along with Spike and Shining Armor are locked in Tartarus. Equestria is now controlled by a tyrant and resistance has proven futile.

But Tirek has made one crucial mistake, he has left Discord alive. While Tirek’s rule begins to turn Equestria into a nightmarish dystopia, Discord is making plans. The seals of Tartarus are slowly breaking around Discord and when he’s free he plans on fighting Tirek with every dirty trick he can muster, whether it involves psychologically tormenting Tirek or giving Equestria’s now magicless pony’s weapons from worlds unknown. Tirek has crossed a line and Discord no longer has to worry about his conscience when it comes to fighting another monster.

Battle lines are being drawn and opportunists from around the land flock to Tirek’s banner. Discord and the remnants of the Equestrian military are the only hope of a broken world. There are no elements, no easy paths to victory this time. A ruthless battle of immortals is coming, and the ponies of Equestria are going to have to fight for the happiness they once took for granted….

Tirek is going through court at Canterlot, everything is fine until it is brought up that he stole some magic from an Earth Pony. And killed their dog.

Discord who hears this explains who this pony is, an Nopony is ready for what they’re about to hear.

(Takes place after Season 4 Finale.

We all know Fluttershy, a yellow Pegasus pony hailing from Cloudsdale, shy as a fly friend to all animals and practically kindness incarnate. However, the world can be deceiving, what if Fluttershy was not pony but a rare creature called a changeling queen? What would this mean for Equestria and Fluttershy's friends and who else will be drawn in to the fray in this story of the lost and the forgotten?

Evil lurks, seeking a host that will plunge the world into eternal darkness. Finding a vengeful Tirek, they join as one, and begin wreaking havoc on Equestria. With all the princesses now under Tirek's control, who can save the ponies from this awful fate? Discord might be able to help, that is, if he weren't cursed to be a patchwork doll.

Our protaganist's life (mine) turns from dramatic to tragic in a single moment...but then an out-of-left-field event happens, and I find myself in an alternate universe version of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic where the only difference seems to be Queen Chrysalis hatches a new queen years before the 1,000th Summer Sun Celebration...and I'm that new queen.

Jumping in on this particular bandwagon. Tagged "Gore" for the opening chapter (and possibly later chapters) and "Sex" because you can't mention any part of the reproductive process without the sex tag on this site.

Spike notices how Twilight’s been dodging Starlight’s advances without explaining why. Spike is getting annoyed by this little routine and confronts Twilight on the matter. When asked about this, Twilight’s answer is much more complex than Spike realizes.

Starlight Glimmer, who was a vengeful villain just a few months ago, has been accepted by the Princess of Friendship as her very first pupil.

But despite Starlight now living a happier life, she now reconsiders if she even deserved it.
