This story is a sequel to Retirement of a king

King Sombra has been officially retired from his villainous ways for over a month and still lives in the same house as Private Iceland and his friends. However, the newest addition to the house, Blue Axe, the son of Private and Dew, seems to like pouncing him, even if the colt is barely a month old.

Sombra is personally impressed by the colt's bravey, but Blue Axe's parents are a bit alarmed how aggressive their little boy behaves with the Master of Fear and Hate. How will Sombra end up dealing with this, or they themselves for the matter?

Or is it possible they are just overthinking things?

Celestia just wants to experience one last part of normal pony life. Discord doesn't understand it, but he's willing to go with it.

A short little thing I wrote for Akataja for Jinglemas 2022

In the early days of the nation of Equestria, there existed a group of heroes known as the Pillars of Equestria. By the modern day, they have mostly faded into myth, with many of the facts about them obscured if not lost.

But what is lost can be found if one knows where to look, and sometimes even by accident. Now Twilight Sparkle will, with aid from her friends, help bring to light the truth behind the Pillars of Old Equestria, their connection to the Elements of Harmony, and other secrets of Equestria's past and present that will shape its future.

This story draws primarily from the Legends of Magic comic series, written by Jeremy Whitley and with art by Brenda Hickey, Tony Fleecs and Heather Breckel. Additional stories will be acknowledged across individual chapters.

Six princes who are foster brothers with their foster father, King Tirek, live a comfortable life but because of this they are ignorant to their father's cruel acts to the kingdom. Meanwhile, six maidens must serve a noble household run by the demanding Lady Chrysalis and her daughters. There are elements of Cinderella to this but this is not your typical Cinderella story.

Equestria has been ruled for a millenia in an era of Harmony under the watch of it's Queen, King, and their seven daughters. But that era comes to a tragic end as an old foe, Discord, returns, bringing chaos and destruction in his wake. Celestia is overthrown, and five of her daughters are banished without a memory. Only two mares escape his curse. But two is all it takes to be a threat to his reign.

A rewrite of my original fanfic by the same title. Trust me, this will be worlds better and worth the wait

This story is a sequel to Rage of a Queen, wrath of a Mother

After King Sombra escaped his captivity, he dropped off the radar again and nobody knew where to find him. Meanwhile, his mother has by all appearances started to reform and is allowed limited mobility within Canterlot Castle.

Then suddenly, after many months, the king himself returns and gives Private Iceland and his friends a rather odd offer; convince him to retire from his evil ways. Naturally, everybody is on guard, wondering what Sombra is up to and if he's being genuine about this offer.

Meanwhile, Princess Celestia must also contend with a mysterious accident that has delivered a very familiar pony to her kingdom.

The final story in the "Return of the Dark Ponies" story arc.
Story edited by Hail King Sombra.

In the far-off Frozen North, a mysterious, long-lost empire reasserts its hold over Equestrian magic. Tasked with securing it for the betterment of Equestria, Princess Cadance will be forced to overcome not one, but two of its overthrown monarchs.

Part of FanOfMostEverything's Imposing Sovereigns II contest. Set immediately prior to Season 3, no relationships to any previous Cadance tale outside the show / comic / chapterbook canon. Special thanks to horizon and my beloved spouse for their pre-reading help.

Now with a Spanish translation by the gracious SPANIARD KIWI!

After the Friendship Games, Sunset feels it's time to return home.

Only when she gets there, Twilight's castle is nowhere to be found, Cadance just got her horn, and Princess Celestia is still calling the bacon-haired pony her prized student rather than a failed one. And just reliving her past isn't on the table thanks to a pair of wings Sunset seems to have sprouted upon her return to Equestria.

With Sunset being back before she's supposed to, will the world stay as harmonious and on track, or will everything go down in flames as Sunset has to deal with allegations that she's really a changeling in disguise, a nerdy stallion with blue hair that wants to be her coltfriend, a pretty pink princess in need of remedial magic lessons, and an annoying purple pre-teen pony that will absolutely not go to bed without first being read Starswirl's Complete Mystical Mysteries Compendium?

Only time will tell

Princess Celestia spends time taking care of a familiar sick little filly, and along the way, learns a lesson mothers - blood or not - all one day learn.

YOH 1497, three years Before Luna's Return: Cheerilee went off to get her higher education at Canterlot, certain that her fine mind and diligence would win her the world. But she found that her small-town naivete marked her out to certain Ponies as a victim, and she was too trusting. Now, she's woken under circumstances that make it obvious to her that she's sinking into the same alcoholism and debauchery that claimed her mother Strawberry and are claiming her sister Berryshine, and that unless she changes her life, she will not have a very happy one.
