On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

When Rarity is given an order for a dress, a series of unfortunate circumstances lead her to request the aid of Twilight Sparkle. When she discovers that Twilight has been studying time spells, she asks if she can help her recover some of her time. Reluctantly, Twilight agrees, but when she is performing her spell, something breaks her concentration causing the spell to become unstable, sending them 15 years into the future. What awaits them in a world where they have been missing for so long? Will they ever get back to their own time? Only time will tell.

Seriously, check out his work. He is one of my favorite pony artists.

Braeburn Apple has always been raised in a conservative household, as a member of the Apple family.

Throughout his life, he's been taught what's 'wrong' and what's 'right', who he was allowed to love, and who he wasn't. Above all, he was told what to be, and how to be it.

When he meets a certain blue Pegasus stallion buying pies at Sweet Apple Acres while he just so happens to be staying there, he discovers feelings he never knew he had.

Unfortunately, they happen to be the same ones he was always taught to suppress.

Can Soarin convince him that it's not wrong to be in love, and that, sometimes, in order to be happy, you need to break out of your comfort zone?

A story about discovering who you are, and being that person, no matter what others tell you to be.

WARNING: M/M, SoarinxBraeburn Coltcuddling! Touches up on some serious social issues in the real world, but with ponies, and at least 20% cooler.

Around Ponyville, there is a story about the abandoned home that sits atop Mayberry Hill. According to the legend, the grand old house is home to a tale whose truth that like its inhabitants, has become lost to time. When Twilight Sparkle hears of the legend, she goes to seek the truth. But as she delves deeper into the past, she uncovers a story that is riddled with love and death.

Twilight begins to have strange dreams, filled with shadowy figures and a mysterious key. Fearing that they're connected somehow and trying to send her a message, she starts research on her troubled slumber. Her fears are only confirmed, however, when mysterious creatures begin to attack Ponyville.

Following the assassination of Princess Celestia, the Long Night withered the once bountiful Apple Harvests of the Apple family.  In the years since, they have been reduced to dumpster diving and street life.  Applebloom, unwilling to continue in such a state, violates her elder sister's wishes in order to find help from Applejack's friends, who surely must be better off.

Unfortunately, Applebloom's journey to Canterlot shows her the true fates of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, who are as unable to help Applebloom as they are to help themselves.  Applebloom's desperation grows with each reunion.  In the end, she must turn to powers greater than begging to save her own future and those of many others.

However, the rival two aren't bad artists themselves, not to mention they’re certainly not… of the same persuasion as Vinyl and Tavi. In the snow-wrapped streets of Manehattan, can they risk exposing their new found -and still taboo- relationship, or will they be doomed to second place?
