Twilight has become an Alicorn, moved to Canterlot, and begun her new life as the princess of magic. Back in Ponyville, there are those who miss her greatly, especially one shy farm pony who regrets never admitting his feelings.

Thanks to ICCUWAUSIMTOI for being my editor!

Imprisoned in the tunnels beneath Canterlot, she withers away in hunger and despair. In the castle above, curiosity leads him to a door that he is forbidden to open. When they finally meet, it is just the opportunity she has waited for. Mislead by a child's trusting innocence, Spike unknowingly stumbles into the clutches of Equestria's greatest foe.

In the courts of Equestria, it is tradition for the pasts and presents of the aristocracy to be recorded with painstaking detail and accuracy. But when a certain mostly-reformed draconequus joins the ranks of the Canterlot elite, detail and accuracy are some of the farthest things from his mind.

After Discord gives the Royal Archivists more than their fair share of trouble with the writing of his biography, newly-crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle takes it upon herself to get to the bottom of his past.

She may have bitten off more than even she can chew.

Mort, also known as the Pale Pony (of Death), has been tasked to take time off from his rigorous duties of reaping souls. Seeking guidance, he is directed towards the town of Ponyville, to learn about the magic of friendship from Twilight Sparkle and her friends. All he needs to do is keep his true nature a secret. That shouldn't be too difficult...right?

Special thanks to Specter-Von-Baren and Pyrite Foolsgold for their help in proofreading and editing this story, as I really needed it. Additional thanks to Pilate, Chuckle5, Unimpressive Vagaries and Admiral Biscuit as well! Couldn't have done it without all their help!

For another excellent take on Mort, check out Sip's version!

"What use is a hero when there are no wrongs to be righted? Nor battles to be won? Nor tyrants to overthrow? Are we all just meant to be the butlers, cleaning up a mess whenever a cup is spilled upon the floor, yet never sitting at the table ourselves? Is that really all we can do?"

Time Turner has long since given up on trying to remember anything before the day he awoke in the middle of a ruined castle. Managing to eek out a comfortable life in the town of Ponyville after a little over a year of struggling , Turner is content with just living his life as just another face in the crowd. However, on the day of the Summer Sun Celebration and the following morning, a few hauntingly familiar faces threaten to upset the stability of this newfound peace. With only glimmers of a past life to guide him, Turner resumes his journey to find out the true identity of the face that greets him in the mirror.

When Discord uncovers a plot against Equestria, the Spirit of Mischief must ask himself some important questions. What does he want in life? Can a being of destruction truly be reformed? And is someone like him capable of love?

Some would say that marriage should only be between two that love each other, but what if you feel anything but love for the one you are to be wed with? That you are only doing it not just for your country but for your mother. Join Spike as he replays in his mind how he is about to go from Princess Twilight's assistant, to a married drake and king of a whole race. This is my first pony fic and I like it Rough... by that I mean reviews <.<=>.>

Do you know what it's like to be trapped in stone, not fun. Especially if you're someone like Discord and have to deal with your own twisted mind. Let's take a look into Discords mind while he's trapped in stone and see how enjoys other company. Of course, this would all be easier if he wasn't insane.
