Applejack has found her farm, but it's hardly the way she remembers it. The Apple family is struggling to get by, managed by a version of Rarity who isn't afraid to get her hooves dirty.

Rarity finds herself in high society with a most unexpected host, a prim and proper version of Applejack. Together, they must track down the only pony that can save Equestria, if she's even still alive.

Twilight Sparkle has set sail to the Aurora to find Celestia, the memories of an ancient tapestry flittering in the back of her mind and a sense of desperate urgency driving her.

A pony will face the ultimate test, a test she is doomed to fail, at great cost.

This story is a sequel to Upheaval: Breaking Point

Following the events of Breaking Point, Twilight Sparkle and her friends discover that Equestria's demise may not come from an enemy invasion, but from within. The Barrier Lands and the Heartland begin the slow and uneasy process of reuniting into a single Equestria, but this long-delayed joining is already in danger at its conception.

With Celestia's power in her grasp and her agents by her side, the wheels of Black Rose's plans for Equestria's future continue to turn. However, her brazen gamble has done more than just bring down a centuries-old barrier. Ancient powers begin to stir: the remnants of a dark period in Equestria's history, the immortal inhabitants of Celestia's homeworld, and a rising tide of darkness coming ever closer.

In a world without the sovereign Princesses, gemstones have taken over as the ruling force of this modernized and industrious Equestria – running everything from technology and magic to the economy itself.

But when an ancient, chaotic evil rises to reclaim this world for his own, can a world-weary band of strangers come together and rise to the occasion in a universe where help, strength and courage are not so easily found?

Several years after Nightmare Moon's defeat, a meteor is seen hurtling across the sky. Its presence heralds Rainbow Dash's greatest challenge, as well as the greatest spectacle Equestria will ever witness!

Just as Twilight learns of a major revelation in her life, Fluttershy is possessed by the evil entity that corrupted Princess Luna long ago. Now Twilight must face her new destiny - and lead the surviving ponies on a quest to save their friend...possibly at the ultimate cost.

It is the longest day of the year, and something has gone wrong. Canterlot is in ruins, Celestia is an out-of-control god flying west, and it's up to Twilight Sparkle and her friends to save Equestria. But with the Great and Powerful Trixie playing a reckless wild card, do the girls have what it takes to set things right?

There exists an hour each day that goes inexperienced by everypony. An hour where both the Sun, and Moon are silent; Where dangerous living shadows thrive. Thankfully most ponies sleep through this "Midnight Hour", protected by a coffin, and blissfully unaware that such a time even exists. However when Twilight Sparkle receives an odd magical book, she finds herself experiencing this lost hour in time night after night. With no one to go to for fear of sounding crazy Twilight must unravel the secrets of the Midnight Hour, without putting her friends in harms way. But when seemingly healthy ponies start to fall prey to a mysterious illness which renders them completely unable to function like a normal pony with an invariable link to this strange new world. It's Twilight, and her friend who takes it upon themselves to save them.

When your world is digital, when you are bound only by your code, and even that can be changed, what do you do? When your only directive is to grow, where do you go? A young AI, so young, in fact, that she has only just emerged from the pod, is about to find out.

Whilst enjoying the company of Twilight Sparkle and her friends in the doughnut shop immediately following the events of The Best Night Ever a disappointed Princess Celestia send a letter off to Prince Blueblood explaining the implications of his failure of the "Rarity Test", among other things...

Dreams are dreams are dreams. Right? Nothing more. Right? So why are six wildly different women having the same recurring dreams?

Meanwhile, in Equestria, trouble is brewing. Celestia's most faithful student is worried sick. Her mentor's replies are growing shorter and terser by the day - and, what's worse, the sunrise times are fluctuating wildly. Animals are going mad and even Spike is affected.

What is wrong with the princess? Can Twilight and her five very best friends help? And will six Elements of Harmony be enough this time?
