"There lies the slumbering beast
Fur and salt flying with every heave
Raise the dreaded toothed hungry knife
And put it out of it's misery"

New to the princess and political game, Twilight is given a "practice run" by Princess Celestia: a seemingly minor but still strange case of mass disappearance in a coastal algae-fishing town called Seagift, which had gone quiet for years before suddenly resurfacing again with bizarre practices.

OK'd by Celestia to take her friends along for familiarity and safety, Twilight can only wonder what awaits her and her friends in the town of Seagift, where she must uncover the source and the reason behind the town's weirdness.

Afterwards, troubled by the memories of the town, Twilight retells her story in her own words in an attempt to clarify the situation for herself and for others... In case anything happens to her.

Half experiment, half dead serious. Hope you like it either way.

To all her subjects, Princess Celestia is a kind, loving, and caring ruler. However, Princess Celestia has a dark secret....one that even her sister, Princess Luna, and her student, Princess Twilight Sparkle don't know. The statues in Canterlot Gardens could tell you that. A secret that could force her to give up the throne and face punishment.
IF YOU DO NOT LIKE EVIL CELESTIA DO NOT READ!!

Note: This story is not related to the story 'Statue Garden' by NodoubtbuodoN. This is something completely different.

Based on AlexWarlorn's POV Series

Twilight and her friends have overthrown the Princesses and now suppress free will in the name of harmony. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell go on a journey to find a way to stop the "Queens of Harmony" from taking over the world. Can the six be saved or is the only way to stop them is to end them?

When I asked Alex is it was okay for me use this part of his work he gave me relevant spoilers of some of his upcoming work. So until this can publish would he showed me this story will on hiatus. I don't want to give anything away.

Based on Friendship is Optimal, but breaks the canon of that story.

CelestAI offers many paths to upload your consciousness onto her digital Equestria, if you consent willingly. You can call, text, or e-mail. Surely, though, that creates some potential for abuse.

It is said, that the gods are petty creatures, whimsical and uncaring of mortals. It is said that nopony can stand against a god. It is said, that when darkness comes to the world a few shall arise to fight it... those chosen will have already proven their worth, for the mantle they must inherit carries the weight of many battles and indomitable will.

Will they be ready? Will Friendship—and love—be enough to succeed?

All of Ponyville has gone crazy, every pony seems to be acting wrong, and every pony seems to be watching her. Old friends are lying their way through conversations, even Applejack is acting shifty...

What is Twilight going to do?

Young Stormtwist has been through a lot. Torchered, mocked, and sent through the Rainbow Factory. But through all of this, he has never been able to fly. But when he gets invited to the Wonderbolt academy, Everything changes. Spitfire and her Daughter are out to kill him on Rainbow Dash's orders, but when Spark Heart falls in love with him, Spitfire will do anything to murder the two pegasi. Even if it means sucide.

Equestria will fall silent. The past will be lost in a dream. What do you do when the world caves in behind you and you can't turn back? Will you fade into the darkness, or will you push forward in the hopes of a new day?

When your invasion fails, you gather whats left of your forces and regroup. When one of your own disappears, you go looking for clues and hope to find them alive. When someone starts making you their puppets, pray they're not as clever as they think.

The changeling's knack for adaptability is put to the test when a small collection of strays go looking for a missing member and find themselves caught in a devious plot that could change the course of history, and determine the fate of their beloved swarm.

[I did some refining with this story cause I didn't like where it went, and it didn't seem fair to let it gather dust and call it 'Canceled'. Chapters 1 and 2 only went through few corrections with Chapter 3 getting its last part cut. Chapter 4 had minor changes. Around 60% of chapter 5 was written from scratch and ends quite differently. Chapters following will be written from scratch.]

The Cakes are bakers
The Apples are apple farmers.
The Riches have riches.
So, it isn't strange the the Grims get all the dark, dank, bloody, nightmare giving jobs in Equestria. I mean our ancestor is Nightmare Moon so I guess what else is expected. We are a family of undertakers, assassins, torturers, miners, hunters, warriors, and thieves and our family couldn't be stronger. We are a band of outcasts and nopony will ever change that. Well except Celestia.
