It all starts with Rainbow Dash's mysterious crash in the middle of the night. After the dare-devil pegasus is out of the picture, things start happening all over Ponyville. Bad things. No one know's what to expect, or who to blame. All they know is that it's dangerous, and it doesn't look like it's about to stop.

Mare-Do-Well is captured. Canterlot has gathered to witness her end. What will come of this one lone filly's last stand?

1000 years ago the valiant and most holy god, lord Ahuizotl, vanquished the tyrant Nightmare Moon and the pony scourge of her 1000 armies of Equestria and delivered Equus from the eternal darkness. In his infinite generosity he saw fit to give Equus the light of the sun and to come down from his celestial throne to establish his most divine Empire of Talicon, to spread peace and order throughout Equus. His chosen people, the Felis, were returned to their rightful place as peacekeepers of the realm. In his infinite mercy he allowed the Gryphons, Minotaurs, and even the sinners, the unworthy ponies, their place in his utopia.

1000 years have passed since. The blighted, cursed ponies, the bringers of calamity, continue to live with their heads hung low, harnessed and blinkered, in service of the greater good. But a strange new affliction spreads amongst them. Mysterious markings appear on their flanks. Most call it a curse, the sign of the twin devils of Nightmare Moon and Celestia. But a few embrace it as a gift. They call themselves the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders', lead by the seemingly immortal hero, Mare-Do-Well.

This is the story of one Cutie Mark Crusader, and how her end became the beginning of many.

One-Shot. Written to the tune of 'Heroes' by the Aviators

Daring Do needs a vacation. So, with her annoying subconscious in tow, the pair head to the one place where she can escape Ahuizotl, creepy fans, and treasures: Ponyville! But of course, when one goes on vacation, one must remember the essentials: a place to stay, a means of transportation, and to make sure there are no hidden temples anywhere near where you are staying.

Some history is lost through negligence or the whims of fate. Some is obfuscated on purpose, the terrible events kept from the lessons taught to young ponies. Daring Do knows perhaps better than most that much of what Equestrians are taught in school is a carefully tailored half-truth, key facts and events shrouded by the passage of time and Celestia's loving hoof, leaving many more questions then there are answers. When Daring Do receives an odd package, one such question will be answered. A question asked many times over the years: Why do unicorns dream but once a year?

A Myths and Birthrights prequel.

Loneliness. That's all Crimson feels after Discord reverts back to his old, chaotic ways. Everypony knew this was happened, but Celestia kept telling them nothing was wrong.
Lies, all lies. Celestia was stalling, maybe even trying to convince herself.
Because of this, Crimson Fang, a batpony filly, is all alone. Everypony she knows is gone, and all she can do now is try to save them, or give up. And giving up looks pretty good right now...

Idea, and it came from a photo...
