The second story in The Journey of Graves.

With the rogue marshals dealt with and order restored, Graves has received instructions to stay and protect the town from wild creatures that have moved into the Everfree Forest. Only, what's a man of action supposed to do when there's absolutely nothing to do? With some help from his new friends, Graves will learn what it means to settle down in Ponyville.

The first story in The Journey of Graves.

Ponyville is getting ready for the arrival of Princess Celestia's marshals, elite of royal guard and travelling heroes of the people. But in all the hustle and bustle of party preparations, a lone traveler slips into town, a young man with business concerning Twilight Sparkle. What that business is remains to be seen, but you can be sure Ponyville won't make it easy for him.
After all, where would be the fun in that?

In a darkened forest, a cult attempted to bring the spirit of King Sombra back to life. Their goal; imbue the spirit of King Sombra with far more dark magic than he ever had, and take over Equestria. When Twilight Sparkle intervenes, things go wrong, and something else is summoned. Something that Twilight is familiar with, and hoped to never have to deal with again.

Something that may not be worse than King Sombra taking over Equestria.

Something far, far more obnoxious.

“The will to power is in our blood. You feel it in yourself, do you not? No day goes by where I am not tempted to return to my inborn nature. What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?” ~Paarthurnax, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

Unequaled skills. Greater power. Total dominion. Onyx has always desired more, but when this young colt learns a dark truth, he must face the most formidable enemy he as ever known: himself.

For years, she's been gathering scraps of information, and now it's finally all come together.
There's a secret buried under the caves under Canterlot, and Lyra is going to uncover it, no matter the cost.

I've always wanted to raise my own child, but the means behind receiving one have always been beyond my reach. One particular morning, I found a filly in a box and brought her home. The only problem was that the filly was Diamond Tiara. I immediately regret my decision.

Once she got her wings, Twilight found herself with three times the magic to study. She's been spending time with her friends since, the better to understand how each does what she does.

Now it's Pinkie Pie's turn, and she thinks it's best if they discuss her abilities in her heavily soundproofed room. A bit unusual, but it's not like they'll be doing anything actually dangerous, right?

Right?

Set between Seasons 3 and 4. Written for the More Most Dangerous Game, using the Cupcakes prompt.

Lickety-Split has sold out Ponyville to an evil frost fiend for the secret of delicious ice-cream and is about to bring about a frosty apocalypse. This can only mean one thing: It's Saturday, and there's only 22 1/2 minutes to save the world!

Only... Lyra's been having a dream. The same dream, again and again all of her life. There's something coming. Something terrible coming from out of the darkness, and it is going to destroy everything. Princess Luna seems very unwilling to do anything about it. Lyra's on her own.

It's Ponyville. Nothing bad ever happens in Ponyville.

But there is an old story. Perhaps the oldest story ever told. Even in Arcadia, there am I.
