Sequel To : The Code's Apprentice

The land of Equestria has been changed forever.

New monarchs sit upon the thrones of the Sun and Moon, the once almighty power of Harmony overturned to make way for a new Diarchy of Balance. Political unrest and turmoil have engulfed the land, and at the very center of it all, Princess Celestia - renamed Tia Sunbeam - seeks atonement for the crimes she committed in the name of Eternal Harmony.

With much of her power sealed away, Tia must live amidst the citizens of Ponyville as the world changes all around them. As Ponyville works to rebuild following the struggle between student and teacher, they must cope with the edicts of a new government determined to bring equality to all creatures, beliefs, and ways of life - even those that were long since banished to the dark places of the world.

Tia Sunbeam will struggle with her own deeply held convictions on the way the world should be, versus the way it will now become. She will face a truth she has long since denied, and realize the true meaning of Harmony. And perhaps, most importantly of all... She must make some Friends.

Oh, and go check out my new side story - Rise - It's going to become relevant here!
(character tags are not comprehensive! Some are being kept secret! ;3)

King Sombra, the tyrant of Crystal Empire is back, only to be imprisoned by princesses and put through reformation with Twilight Sparkle as his teacher. Can somepony with heart as black as night be reformed? Twilight believes so. Sombra in other hoof isn't so sure but something in that mare makes him try.

This is going to be one of my longest stories this far. Marked Teen for sexual innuendo and slightly gory-ish scenes. Nothing too bad though. Also this will not be a story that deserves a dark marking.

For now I'd like to thank Alun Aleriksson, pony of change, Microshazm and Sidetrack for helping with the grammar and overall writing in general. Thank you so much.

Discord didn't understand it. It seemed as if one day, she's totally annoying, and the next, she's totally adorable.
Could it possibly be love? Oh, such an idea is preposterous! The Spirit of Chaos in love? Ridiculous.
But, in time, he may find that love isn't such a bad thing.

Rainbow Dash usually had her head in the clouds, but she always thought she knew up from down. When an incredible revelation sends her life into a tailspin, she finds herself at the mercy of emotions she never thought she had, faced with hard questions and impossible choices.

Life is full of changes, but none of them are quite as disturbing as having a horn pop out of your skull…

Original Lauren Faust canon; non-alicorn Twilight, non-alicorn Cadance, no ascension. Diverges from the cartoon after season 3, with nods to later continuity wherever possible. Contains mature themes.

This story is a sequel to My Little Background Pony: Friendship is Magic

After the Summer Sun Celebration, the Doctor has been living as Time Turner and is enjoying his new life as a resident of Ponyville. He's got a good job, great friends, and life seems peaceful.
But it doesn't last. Ponies have gone missing lately, and it seems the perpetrators are not normal by any means. Can Time Turner, Derpy Hooves, Bon Bon, Vinyl Scratch, Lyra Heartstrings, and Octavia find out what's going on and, more importantly, put a stop to it?

Extra character tag: Bon Bon

Who would've thought Fluttershy would fall into a universe of the gender-bent versions of ponies she already knew? Who would've thought she'd catch the attentions of the male version of one of her best friends in this strange world AND a certain red stallion in her home universe? She sure didn't. Now, she lives two lives; one as Fluttershy, the only foal and shy mare of Ponyville, and the other as Fluttershy, the shy "twin sister" of her doppleganger, Timidbeat in an alternate version of her home. But, she has to make a difficult choice.

Young Luna has just learned to dreamwalk, and she has big ideas what to do with it. She wants to play with her big sister, she wants to join the Research Mages, and she wants to even help Princess Twilight -- but Headmaster Spike has other ideas for her to focus on, like friendship.

Twilight is more than thrilled when Princess Celestia herself summons her to Trottingham to start a weeklong vacation just between the two of them. When both Princesses stumble upon a familiar Ponyville native, Twilight finds his strange actions suspicious. Especially when Celestia swears he's someone else. Someone way older than she thought.

Annnd once again, my beta reader is Uria the Sacred Beast!

Edit (9/30): Added the "Alternate Universe" tag

All Spike the dragon ever seemed to want was mutual affections from the majestic Rarity, but is that starting to change? Once Spike finds out otherwise, he realizes that all he ever wanted was to not be a dragon. It would make his dreams, and Sweetie Belle's dreams, all come true.

"Tirek tricked me into believing that he could offer me something more valuable than friendship. But there is nothing worth more. I see that now. He lied when he said that this medallion was given as a sign of gratitude and loyalty. But when I say that it is a sign of our true friendship, I am telling the truth."

The minute Ah heard those words, somethin' budded deep in my heart. Ah knew then that he was speakin' the truth, the entire truth, and he was talkin' from deep in his heart. Ah had always thought of Discord as a nuisance; a draconequus who was just bidin' his time by playin' along with this friendship gig, then strikin' when we let our guard down. But when he said those sentences, even though they weren't directed at me, they took root, down at the bottom o' my heart. O' course, Ah didn't know it then, but that was love Ah was feelin'.

Honest, crazy love.

Featured August 17-19th! A dream come true! I owe it all to all of you wonderful people! I honestly don't deserve this. Celestia bless you all!
