I have no idea what happened. One second, I'm sitting at my desk, working. The next second, I'm Sombra. Or rather, I'm in his body. And nobody seems to believe me about it...

Now with (amazing!) cover art by Mix Up. You can find their work here.

One day in Canterlot, a mysterious violinist comes into town looking for a job. But after he's hired by Fancy Pants, he accidentally lets out a secret, he's an alicorn. But why is he ashamed of himself? Is it because he's an alicorn, or illiterate, or is it something else entirely?

After both of the Princesses took him under their wings, they are bound to not only help him, but to find out what he's hiding.

A Warning: This story contains a kind of charater peice of an OC Alicorn. It also contains light F/F shipping along with light M/M shipping. Also contains some dark elemtents as well as a few, (what one might call) sad moments.

But if you are interested in a story that is about an alicorn accepts himself as he is, opens up to his past secrets, then by all means, read on.

P.S. In case you haven't noticed, I've taken the advice from Flutter_Bat about editing this again and combining chapters as well. Hopefully I've improved the story. But if anyone finds a mistake, please let me know in the comments so I could fix them as soon as possible.

And a special thanks towards Ariin for editing and pokewarrior21 for proofreading. And a huge thank you to Solereclaimer & Snoman for helping me reedit this.

Music for the 1st and 3rd Movement is from the soundtrack of "The Red Violin." And for the 4th Movement, Music of Zadok the Priest, coronation anthem No. 1 by G.F. Handel; and the Flashmob of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 4th Movement.

After an urgent summon from Fancy Pants, both Celestia and Luna attend Day court. However, a new precedent is set when Fancy Pants presents a male alicorn to the two princessess, one he found dumpster diving behind his house.

Not much else to say without spoiling a lot of the story. Just jump in and heave a read!

This story is a sequel to Changeling Courtship Rituals

Queen Chrysalis attacked Canterlot, brainwashed Twilight Sparkle's brother, kidnapped her former foalsitter, defeated her mentor in combat, and conquered her kingdom. She kidnapped the sisters of Twilight's friends, turned them against one another, and tried to drain all of Twilight's magic. Queen Chrysalis has, at every opportunity, done her very best to utterly destroy Twilight Sparkle's life.

For some reason, this has not caused the pony to fall in love with her.

However, due to Twilight's misunderstanding of changeling customs, it does mean they are now married. Twilight eventually managed to tell the Queen the truth, but she forgot that whether it's a kingdom or a heart, changelings conquer.

And since the changeling way of conquest didn't work, Chrysalis is determined to try the pony way. The only problem is, of course, she has no idea what that is. But she knows someone who does: Princess Cadance.

Now, with the absolutely sincere help of her mortal enemy, the pony she once locked in the caves beneath Canterlot while trying to steal her husband on their very wedding day, Queen Chrysalis is going to woo the sister-in-law of that very pony.

Surely this is the most perfect plan ever devised.

Takes place roughly after season five (so Starlight Glimmer is running around occasionally)

For years, Twilight Sparkle and Queen Chrysalis have been at each other's throats. Both have experienced victory over the other, and both have experienced defeat. Out of all the creatures in Equestria, none despise each other the way the pony Princess and changeling Queen do. They seemed destined to remain locked in battle forever, or at least until one is finally dead at the hooves of the other. The cruel insults, the vicious loathing, and the powerful spells that have passed back and forth between them at each meeting have become the stuff of legend.

Imagine Twilight's surprise when she finds out changelings consider this dating.

And now they're married.

Sequel: Pony Courtship Rituals

Some beautiful fanart of the end of chapter three was done by Dmann892; you can see it here.

More awesome fanart, this time from chapter one.

Now with a TvTropes page (obligatory TvTropes warning goes here).

If you want a Russian translation, you can find it here.

There is now a reading of the story on Youtube, which starts here.

This is such a drag, but if I don't make these things the purple princess will scold me some more.

As if being sent to a world filled with talking, magic ponies and being turned into a sword wasn't enough, but now I wake up after... who knows how long with holes in my memory. A shame one of those holes wasn't through succubus' chest. I guess I'm kind of lucky one of the ponies has magic that can help me, as long as she doesn't bring her friends around that knocked me off a balcony.

When I find Sunny, we're taking a nice long nap. I'm gonna need it after dealing with all of these nut cases.

A Soul Eater crossover.
Part of the Displaced Multiverse.

Living in Equestria under a false name and racial identity is one thing. Finding out you're not the only one of your kind stranded here is another... especially when that someone and the element bearers are looking for you.

Being my first attempt at a first-person romantic comedy, this takes a slightly different approach to the concept of being a human stranded in Equestria.

Enjoy.

Big thanks to DVAN56 for editing. Go check out his work!

This story is a sequel to April Fools!

"Pinkie."
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
"..."
"Pinkie?"

Sombra decides to prank Pinkie, but, like the last time, it doesn't go very well.

Stories that follow the original are optional. This story takes place years after the first, so the setting is different.

This story is a sequel to The Poisoned Barb

Prequel reading is recommended to enjoy, as well as a steady reading pace.
