After the return of the Pillars of Equestria, A. K. Yearling gets a letter from Twilight: former villain Stygian is interested in writing. Not one to turn down a request from a princess and interested in learning from somepony who lived a millennium ago, Yearling sets up a meeting with him at a Canterlot donut shop. And so the two commence on Stygian's education of modern fiction.

Takes place not long after "Shadow Play". Written for the May 2020 Pairing Contest.

While helping Stygian novelize his tales, Rockhoof considers the past and learns a few new things in the process.

Originally written for the Quills and Sofas "G is for Gay" Pride contest.

Apple Bloom wonders why every creature speaks the same language.

The Crusaders will not rest until they have answers.

Set between Season 7 and Season 8. Somewhat of a companion piece to The Pranking Manual. Reading that story is not necessary to read this one, as it is only mentioned briefly.

It was incredibly rare to find a pony so pathetic and deprived of love and affection that they’d turn to somepony like him for comfort. Love, Stygian realised, and everypony’s selfish desire for it, had bestowed him with a sense of normalcy.

Note: In this story, a little bit of darkness is still in Stygian, becoming some sort of a negative second personality that influences him.

This story is a sequel to A series of unfortunate events that leads to another redeemed villain, yay!

After an old foe long thought to be dead makes a surprising return, and with Celestia, the Mane 6, and every royal guard fighting off an alien invasion, it is up to Luna and her band of reformed baddies to go up against this threat. Oh, and Captain Goodking (formerly The Storm King and The Magic King) tags along too because he thinks it will help with his superhero career.

Special thanks to AnnEldest for helping me with grammar and giving me good writing advice, and DmitriTheWriter for thinking up of the idea of the Seals Of The Planets and Kronos.

A.K. Yearling spent years writing the Daring Do series, and now that it was over, she was kinda stuck.

What was she supposed to do now? Would anything she make next be as popular as Daring Do?

Well, meeting a certain gray unicorn could help clear her mind...

It's been a while since Twilight and the gang returned from Middle Earth, and they've decided to teach its lore and history at their newly opened School of Friendship, and their students love it! One pony most intrested with Middle Earth is Sunset Shimmer, who has returned to Equestria for a long deserved break. The whole idea of new magic and grand quests fascinates her, and leaves her wishing that she could've been there. And after some unforeseen anomalies with the Dimensional Mirror, she gets her wish.

But something is wrong. Bilbo seems younger, and no one has ever heard of Equestria. It appears that she has not only traveled to Middle Earth, but went back in time as well! Now she must help 13 dwarves and a hobbit slay a dragon to get their home back, all the while more, try to find a way back to Equestria.

A sequel to Fellowship is Magic by Mr-War

I have received permission from Mr-War to write this sequel. (pls don't C&D me)

Good friendships can be hard to come by. Sunburst knows this very well, so upon receiving an invitation to spend some quality time with Starlight, he jumps on it without question. Being Flurry Heart’s Crystaller has been more stressful for him than he cares to admit, and it would be nice to be able to sit down with his old friend, and unwind.

However, Stygian, seeking a book in Twilight’s library, interrupts their quality time. To make matters worse, Starlight is soon called away by an emergency at the school, but assures the two that she’ll be back soon.

The only question is… now what?

Stygian sought to improve his own magic, to help and protect others. But in doing so, he created the Pony of Shadows, and for a thousand years, he was trapped within his own madness. Now released, along with his friends, he must face up to his past mistakes. Fortunately, he will soon learn that he is not the only one to fall to darkness, and in doing so, discover the path to a mutual redemption.

Magnus didn't think anything of it. He was just going to spend some quality time with his friends in Manehattan, having some drinks. But then, when Stygian the lightweight has too many drinks, Flash is the one who has to take him back to their hotel. But his feelings on the matter change as he gets Stygian to his room.

After all, he does look pretty cute in that sweater vest.
