It's amazing how something small and seemingly meaningless can lead to things greater than anypony could imagine. That's what this should have been: Nothing more than a simple explosion and a fire in Ponyville, and the tragic death of miss Amethyst 'Sparkler' Star. Nopony could have guessed that in the aftermath of such a tragedy, an era of Equestria's history long since erased would be revealed.

History is about to be rewritten. And the Fallen Kingdom cometh.

The first part of the Kingdom Come Saga. Other writers will be writing other stories that tie in with this one, and I will provide links wherever it might be useful to read them, in order to get the full story. If you are interested in joining the Kingdom Come project, PM me and tell me what you'd be interested in working on.

I will also be adding characters on the characters list as they appear.

A pony can think alot of thoughts and walk alot of pavements as they stroll down memory lane. And to a mare like Twilight Sparkle, these pavements can lead to places strangely untouched by the wheels of time. This was supposed to just be a routine visit to Canterlot for the unicorn. But purely on a whim, she decides to visit her old neighbourhood. Somewhere down the road, she's looking for a trip down memory lane. Little does she know just how vivid a trip it would be.

Hearths Warming has come! The season of mirth, hope, happiness, presents, mistletoe, and above all, family. Yes, it's a time when everypony gets together for a happy evening meal and spend time with their loved ones.

This is precisely why Rainbow Dash is feeling glum this Hearths Warming. Being estranged from one's family does that to you.

The Tears of Gaia. An artifact of unmeasurable magical power from the Ancient Days, when the Others ruled the land. If found, they would be the discovery of the century!

At least, those are Twilight Sparkle's thoughts. But something is stirring in lands to the south. Soon she will find that she and her friends are not the only ones who are after the legendary Tears. And so what starts as a simple research trip is soon to escalate into the greatest journey of the young ponies' lives, filled with new friends and foes, incredible danger and great adventure!

NOTE: While I do appreciate all comments I get on this story, I would personally prefer if they could say a little more than the typical "Awesome chapter, I love it!" or whatever. What do you love about it? What struck you in this chapter? What would you like to see explored or expanded? Are there things you don't think are working and if so, how could they improve?? I have a pretty determined vision for this story, but it wouldn't hurt to know for the future!

Despondent and injured, Rainbow Dash lies in Ponyville Hospital after an attempt to take her own life. There, she encounters Pipsqueak, recovering from an accident of his own. To entertain themselves, Rainbow tells the young colt an epic tale of six heroes on a quest for revenge. But thanks to her fractured state of mind and his vivid imagination, the boundaries between fantasy and reality begin to blur as the tale advances.

A lone visitor to the Canterlot Sculpture Garden finds themself sitting before the paralysed statue of Discord. His body might be frozen, but his mind s far from it! And so through the magic of telepathy he shall tell you of his thoughts on the concept of insanity, and his ideas behind what he refers to as Reality Engineering.

Based on the 'Reality Engineering' video by Doctor Steel. Happy Toy Soldier Day, albeit a day early thus far. Keep up the good fight, my fellow soldiers, and let us carry on the Doctor's vision of a Uopian Playland.

Another short story inspired by the great HP Lovecraft.

In a dark and endless forest, there is a decaying castle. In this castle lives something lonely and forgotten. He has no idea who he is, what he is, where he came from, or what he even looks like. Tired of the endless darkness and loneliness, he vows to finally scale the massive tower that stretches from the castle, into the inky blackness above. What he found at the top, no one could have expected.

Based on The Outsider, by HP Lovecraft.

In this tribute to the horror stories of the late, great HP Lovecraft, we are taken to a small, dank street in Canterlot. A young unicorn, studying magic in the royal city, hears strange music from the apartment above his own: Melodies and notes unlike anything he has ever heard. Ivestigating, he discovers a cello-playing mare in the room above his own. A quiet young mare known as Octavia.
