This story is a total rewrite of the original Crystal Apocalypse and it is set in the same continuity as Rarity's a Sociopath, only that it shares the canon and has some of the same characters. Prior reading of either, while appreciated, is not required.

A reclusive and antisocial Twilight Sparkle finds a copy of a particularly odd book on her doorstep one day. Reading it, she finds that its her own biography, complete with an ending. And she certainly does not live happily ever after. Will she escape its clutches in time or will she crumple before the weight of her past mistakes?

This story is an authorized rewrite of KingOfNightmares' The Story Book - all credit for the idea goes to him. Originally, I had just edited his story but he requested that I post my version separately due to some substantial changes in writing style.

This story is a sequel to Rarity's a Sociopath

Back by popular demand, Rarity's a Sociopath again.

Rarity lives a good life but she loses her temper from time to time. Now a man is lying dead in the trunk of a Shining Armor's police cruiser and her relationship with Sci-Twi is starting to crumble. She might still be seen as a beautiful fashionista, a paragon of grace and virtue, an exemplar of friendship and generosity but that mask is beginning to crack, fast. And who it reveals is none of those things.

Can she repair her failing reputation and hide her crimes before its too late? Can she mend the break in her carefully-crafted mask before her secrets are revealed? Or will she finally get what's coming to her as her life burns up?

An argument spiraled out of control one day, and Sci-Twi came home with a bruise that day. Now Rarity's secret is in danger and Cadance is determined to uncover the truth about her and her charming facade. Seated in a trendy cafe, Rarity's carefully constructed life is about to come crashing down.

After the disastrous Battle of the Bands, the defeated Sirens parted ways, leaving Adagio Dazzle to fend for herself. Alone, human, and without magic, she struggled to make ends meet until accosted one day by a mysterious prince, who offered her a second chance at life. Naturally, it was an offer she couldn't refuse.

That night, she was dug out of her own grave and began unlife anew as a vampire of the aristocratic Clan Ventrue. However, the other denizens of the night won't take well to the newest addition to their ranks. They do have long memories, after all. Can the former Siren survive the Final Nights? Can she overcome her endless hunger and beast? Can she recover her lost glory, and find redemption even in death?

Sunset Shimmer, personal student of Princess Luna, was never one for Friendship or much of anything that didn't involve drugs, sex or rock and roll. She was ordered to off to Ponyville to manage the Winter Night Festival, in the hopes that a week of detox would set her back on an upstanding path.

However, not all goes as planned when Luna's sister, the tyrannical despot Daybreaker, escapes her imprisonment within the Sun and returns to destroy Equestria. Accompanied by a motley crew of local ponies, Sunset must work to save Equestria, and maybe even make a few friends along the way.

The Carver-Man: In the black of winter, a killer stalks the outskirts of the Crystal Empire. Due to dwindling resources, the once-mighty city is forced to send out under-equipped, under-funded wave after wave of guard to catch the preternatural threat. Will Bronze Cog and his squad be able to defeat it, or will the Carver-Man claim yet another victim?

The Restless Heart: Shining Armor was surprised to see Flurry Heart waiting for him when he returned home from work. But, after all, can a daughter's love for her father really be held back by such mundane things as wooden coffin and six feet of cold earth?

The Old Orchard: Braeburn returns to his childhood home, and spends the day reminiscing about his past; the arson, the murder and the way it made him the stallion he is.

The One with Pinkie Pie in it: (Second Person) You are Anon, and you just managed to score yourself a date with the party pony. However, as the night progresses, you can't shake the feeling that when she said that she'd have you over for dinner, she meant it literally.

Years ago, Canterlot City was destroyed by a magical explosion - the equivalent of a nuclear bomb. Those who survived found themselves trapped within the dying country, watching in horror as their surviving friends and family were driven insane by the enchanted fallout.

Sugarcoat is one of those survivors and so, she hopes, is her girlfriend, Sunny Flare. Separated by the cataclysm, she now searches for her lost love. However, the roads are long and dangerous, and supplies are always running scarce. Las Pegasus - rumored untouched by the blast, still lies hundreds of miles away and between them lie hordes of vicious cannibals, nefarious cults and horrors as impossible as they are evil.

Mirage Nocturne, apprentice to Prince Imaginos was not enjoying life, all things considered. The work was boring, the ponies were obnoxious and his master, well, let's just say that he could not care less about things like "safety regulations" or "world peace".

Mirage Nocturne, student at Crystal Prep was not enjoying life, all things considered. The work was boring, the people were obnoxious and his plans for the future, well, let's just say he had all the prospects of a box of stale onion rings.

So an accident involving a magic portal and a ill-fated game of basketball occurs, neither chose not to take advantage of it. Alas, neither world is particularly accommodating of interdimensional foreigners.
