After the changelings' failed invasion of Canterlot, Twilight tries to soothe some of Ponyville's rampant paranoia by casting a spell to prove there are no imposters hiding in the town. But her spell leaves her in an alien body, facing a mob of angry ponies who just don't believe her when she says she is Twilight Sparkle.

Or, at least, she was Twilight Sparkle, anyway...

For most of Applejack's life, she didn't know what she was. True, she understood who she was well enough.

But ponies don't change shapes, nor do they get strength from love.

Applejack never thought too hard on it... until the events of a certain wedding brought about some harsh realizations.

Now, with Equestria still reeling from the surprise attack, will Applejack manage to come to terms with what she is? Will she even be able to keep her secret safe?

For if the royal guards don't get her first, the conspirators in the shadows just might...

The connections between worlds are tenuous at best, and some of the "simple" truths we clutch so frantically to are little better than drift wood on the endless sea of possibility.

The young knight Morenth knows this better than most.

Having reached the pinnacle of his order, he has achieved the title of Paladin.

As a slayer of all that is evil and unnatural one would think his faith indestructible, but Morenth harbors doubts.

Desperately he throws himself into battle after battle, seeking to blind himself to the truth of his world. The truth that no matter how much light he brings to bear against the darkness, the struggle between good and evil will never be won.

Meanwhile, the unicorn prodigy Twilight Sparkle's faith could never be stronger.

With the teachings of her mentor and the help of her friends, she has overcome even the darkness of King Sombra. Restoring peace not only to Equestria, but to the Crystal Empire as well.

During her adventure she was forced to use a form of magic she'd only seen her teacher use once. Magic Celestia had never guessed Twilight would have to use.

Dark magic.

Curious as to how far she can take this new power, she runs afoul and finds herself in a world that truly reflects the nature of this new magic.

The arrow of time moves from past to future. Try to change what’s set in stone, and causality loops as a circle. But with the twist of a paradox reality twins. The journey of life doubles, and what might have become, is...

Much further downstream the river of time, a desperate experiment has unexpected consequences. An unwilling traveler of time and space, Twilight Sparkle becomes face-to-face with herself in an Equestria utterly unfamiliar to her. Gargantuan machines scar the land roaring into the chaos of war, great engines drive the sun and moon across an unfamiliar sky, and the spectre of Discord’s thousand-year reign haunts the landscape, threatening to drown all that stands. The legacy of the mysterious disappearance of Princesses Celestia and Luna over a thousand years ago.

For one Twilight Sparkle, it is all she knows. But the other can see all that is wrong with the world. Equestria shattered, the Elements of Harmony broken, a world torn by unrelenting storms of chaos magic. As the earth-shaking tremors of a Rune War rage, Twilight Sparkle must teach her other self the power of friendship, and bring dawn to a dying world...

For years upon years the world where upon Equestria lies has remained safe, carefully hidden away in a pocket-dimension where an alternate set of physics is law. However, recently, out of pure chance, its discovery has been made... by the worst possible being that could ever discover it.

Now, calculating, spiteful eyes gaze upon this world, all with one goal in mind: assimilation. And in order to carry out this task easily, a young member of a new class of sentient zerglings is sent on an assassination mission. The target? Queen Chrysalis.

However, this may prove to be difficult for the young, brash, and questioning creature. For though it appears his target may be just as bad as his master at first: in the end, could she truly be just as much of a slave as he is? And if he were to spare her... would it be possible for both to gain what their hearts' desire?

Twilight Sparkle has always admired Princess Celestia. Her fortitude, her wisdom, her eternal grace and love for all her subjects. Twilight has often fantasized about what it would be like to be in Princess Celestia's horseshoes. She never imagined those fantasies would come true.

Original inspiration for the concept of Sunny Skies came from the wonderful fic: "Sunny Skies All Day Long".

(This is a re-write. Be wary of spoilers in the comments)

Twilight Sparkle is very far from home.

She has no way back, and she knows little of where she is.

She has seen this place only in dreams and nightmares... And she meant to come here.

But not like this. Physically, she never left her home and her friends in Ponyville. However, her mind, thought, and being are unfathomably far away in a universe immensely different from her own.

She meant to come as an observer, but now she is playing a role in a conflict that will test her intelligence, adaptability, and will to survive.

Above all, it will test her ability to fight as she confronts a terrible enemy... an enemy that none should ever have to face.
