Commander Shepard was ready to sacrifice her life to destroy the Reapers, so she was quite shocked when she didn’t die, but awoke in a mysterious forest. Without knowing how she got there, she was stranded on a distant planet. There she met a new species: The Ponies. A kind people, who offered her help to get back to council space. But what exactly happened to the universe in Shepard’s absence? A new danger arose on the horizon ready to extinguish the one, who defeated the Reapers, and everybody she loved.

Sombra has returned and has control over the Crystal Empire and all of northern equestria. Most of Twilight's friends have been captured, unable to stand by and watch Twilight confronts him directly. Will she be able to stop him and at what cost?

This is something in the same vein as soarin and is just me practising writing again. Since I love writing action scenes and badass Twilight moments I wrote this. Typing and editing this took me 35 minutes so it their is any mistakes please kindly point them out to me.

Cover art is not mine and is more of a placeholder. The art belongs to Anzhyra.

Like I said it's a placeholder so if anyone wants to make a cover for this then please go right ahead!

If this story gets 100 likes I'll make a sequel.

This story is a sequel to Sunset Shimmer is MAD about EVERYTHING

The mysterious Table of Harmony has called on Starlight Glimmer to solve a friendship problem at Canterlot Castle, but wait! A second cutie mark belonging to a magically inclined alicorn has appeared, and unfortunately for Twilight, it’s not hers.

Can Sunset Shimmer help Starlight Glimmer untangle this mysterious problem in Canterlot, or will her own personal past prove more a hindrance than anything?

Spoilers for 'A Royal Problem'

After Starlight Glimmer's misadventure beyond the Magic Mirror, Twilight Sparkle creates an artifact that will allow its wearer to travel between planes of existence without allowing excess magic to leak from one world to another and upsetting the delicate balance of worlds.

In doing so, however, she soon discovers more about herself and the spark that awakened the Element of Magic than she could have ever anticipated, and learns of a secret that Celestia had been keeping from her all her life.

Stranded in the world-spanning city of Ravnica, Twilight Sparkle must now seek to understand herself and the strange new plane of existence she's found herself in, and come to terms with her own role in Equestria and the Multiverse.

Sunset Shimmer has just graduated from Canterlot High School, and while that would normally be cause for celebration, it fills her only with a nameless dread as her friends begin to scatter to the winds to pursue their futures. With the latent magic of the human world contained and categorized and the Rainboom's idyllic days of schoolwork over, she finds herself without aim and listless, as though something important is missing from her life.

Fortunately for her, Princess Twilight Sparkle might know what ails her.

So. First time posting on the site after a VERY long period of lurking and reading and enjoying the tales this fandom can produce. To my surprise, I found a dearth of a certain subset of story that I wanted to read, and so I have done this, to put my thoughts to words. After all, it is said that one should write the story they want to read, yes? I've been inspired by a variety of stories like it that came before, and I hope to equal their quality.

I'll try to update roughly once every couple of weeks; please be patient with me and I hope you give this tale a once-over. Pre-emptively tagging with AU, that I might diverge freely from what may come if needed.

Anybody could tell you that a high school worth of students would never be enough to conquer a whole world right? A part of Sunset wanted to die the night of the Fall Formal. In a way she succeeded.

The magic did its best to put her back together again, but there's a reason everybody notes that Sunset is like a new person after the Fall Formal don't they?

It's almost like a new Sunset was born that night... and she needs help in becoming a real person again.

Trigger warning - At some point in the story, characters may discuss heavy topics, such as suicide, cutting, violence, teen pregnancy, homelessness, among others. This is the story I will be channeling my darker side.

Luna, the princess of the night, struggles with loneliness and the weight of her past mistakes. Seeking solace in the stars and the silence of her library, she stumbles upon Twilight Sparkle, a young and curious student of magic and with a passion for astronomy.

This is a what if Nightmare night never happened and Twilight meets Luna in a completely different way.

There is a reason Luna was hurt that nopony honored her beautiful night and magnificent moon that caused her dark transfromation. But no pony today has ever said why. When Twilight's curiosity gets the best of her, it is up to Luna to fill in the gaps that Equestrian historians left out.

Rated Teen for Safety.

When Twilight awakes one morning to a furious pounding on the doors of Castle Friendship, she assumes someone has a very dire friendship problem.

When she opens the door to find an abandoned newborn colt, not a guardian in sight, her whole world turns upside down.

At the prospect of the little foal going to an orphanage, Twilight puts her hoof down, and adopts the colt.

Investigations turn up a terrible orphanage, and a mistreated mare.

Follow along on Twilight's journey of finding love, sleepless nights, sick foals, and the trials and tribulations of motherhood, with a newfound love by her side.

Mild Parental Abuse mentions and descriptions later on, chapters discussing it in any detail will have a warning in the authors notes at the top.
