Scootaloo has always been a little bullied about her flightlessness, but recently it's gotten worse. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon tease her relentlessly, and even though Sweetie Bell and Applebloom help, the bullies' insults cut deep.
One day, while in the pit of despair, Scootaloo is offered the solution to her problem: wings. But what will this shadowy gift cost her?

It has been 10 years since Equestria had been at peace. 10 years since the Elements of Harmony disappeared and Luna had gone to find them, only for her to disappear as well. Filled with grief and loss, Celestia loses her mind and becomes willing to protect her subjects at any cost, even if she has to hurt them to do so. Now is the time for a new generation to rise up and stop the madness. Now begins the New Lunar Republic. And the CMC are ready to take the lead.

After a heated argument with her sister, Sweetie Belle runs off into the Whitetail Woods.

Here she meets the princess of the moon.

The two bond, and Sweetie Belle is taken in as Luna´s student.

All seems well. But does Luna still hold a grudge on her sister? (a thousand years on the moon, is a long time after all).

When Luna rises to overthrow Celestia? Sweetie Belle is forced to choose between her sister and her mentor.

"My first shot at writing, so feedback is appreciated."

Authors note:

The general idear of the story was generated before "Luna Eclipsed", hence the lesson from "Sisterhooves Social." Is left out. Also Lunas character may not match canon.

Pinkamena Diane Pie, also known as Pinkie Pie to her friends, is the most party-loving and most sweet-loving pony in Ponyville. But underground, she is most known for her killing spree of over 100 ponies and baking them into delicious sweeties. Now she is not alone as a new underground baker comes and sets the records almost close to hers. What new alliance can be found with these Demon Bakers and how will it affect their business when trying to rule the sweeties of Equestria?

The cover art is not mine but I like it so give credit to the artist if you know him/her :D

Have you ever heard the tale of the Four Heroes?
Everyone thinks they know the ending. Mario, Peach, and Bowser destroyed the Chaos Heart, and defeated the menace Dimentio.
But was that really the end? Of course not. We wouldn't have much of a story, otherwise.
(The Human tag was put there because Dimentio is kind of human. Maybe.)
(Dimentio is from the game Super Paper Mario. Spoilers for the ending of that game.)

Unsettling dreams are starting to worry Princess Luna. She is positive these dreams hold an ominous portent for all of Equestria, but there is only one stallion who knows for certain the answers she seeks. King Sombra has been imprisoned again in Shadow since his defeat and the shattering of his body, but he is no less cunning and ruthless. And as Luna tries to interrogate him over time, she finds there is a softer side to the unicorn king, one nopony has seen before. But Celestia fears for her younger sister, warning Luna against Sombra's advances. Is the once-tyrant truly starting to court Princess Luna...or is she simply being used as a pawn in his plans to regain power?
