All is not lost, however: one force remains in Equestria that could give her the edge she needs to defeat her foe, save her friends, and restore the world. She need only retrieve it from Zecora and place it around her neck...

30 moons have passed, and Sunset Shimmer sets on her way home. She's confused and upset, and she can only pray for a chance to prove her worth in Equestrian society once more. She receives so much more than that.

Season 5 and all but the first of the Equestria Girls movies are not canon to this story.

Warning: This is, in fact, a SunLight or Sunset x Twilight ship fic. If that bothers you, please don't read this.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

Rarity's exploits in "Sweet and Elite" set in motion a chain of events that will find the unicorn dressmaker taking part in the greatest airship race in the world, the Alicorn's Cup. Excitement will give way to terror, as Rarity soon finds herself the victim of a plot against Equestria, and shipwrecked far from home with her least favorite stallion, the boorish Prince Blueblood. Rarity will learn of treachery in Canterlot and abroad, and will have search for something of substance beneath the prince's obnoxious veneer as she struggles to not only save herself, but her entire nation.

Cheating. It never leads to anything good. Hearts get broken, trust is lost, and lives are ruined. Unfortunately, even the best of relationships are not immune to it.

When it comes to light that Shining Armour has been in a secret affair with Rarity, it leaves Princess Cadence and Spike stunned and badly hurt. Leaning on each other for comfort, the two devise a plan to not only get revenge on the ponies that hurt them, but maybe even heal their broken hearts along the way.

Note: This fic was written during season 4 originally, so that's why Flurry Heart isn't mentioned.

Inspired by the album Two-Faced Charade by Famous Last Words.

The book was empty. Purely empty. Each page was as blank as the last. There were no words; there was no title. There was nothing but page after page of blank, white paper.

So Twilight reads it.

Rainbow Dash accidently pranks Princess Celestia. Her life is basically over.

And not just any fourth sister, a fourth sister who's a pegasus, and lives in Ponyville! Meaning it's none other than Scootaloo!

But nagging questions soon present themselves to Pinkie Pie: Why did her parents keep this information hidden? Why was Scootaloo was abandoned at the orphanage? And most importantly, does Scootaloo know of her secret Pie family heritage?

The answers may just surprise Pinkie, who is determined to make things right and be the best big sister she can be for Scootaloo! Perhaps even give the filly a proper home?

On a hot summer day, Rarity decides to make milkshakes for her wonderful assistants, Sweetie Belle and Spike.

Big mistake.

Now the three of them must defend her yard from an invading herd of boys.

This is one of my "I give up completely" stories, so just have fun with it.
