This story is a sequel to If You Came to Conquer

Princess Nightmare Moon had tried to keep it secret. She had suppressed her power, feigned ignorance, played the outdated fool at every opportunity. She should have known that something like this would happen. A threat that would reveal her, whether she played dumb or not.

If she had to reveal herself, then at least she could protect Equestria in the process. She nocked the arrow. The bow felt so flimsy, but she could not risk him absorbing a spell. She laced magic across the arrow and the string and the air, enough to make it fly faster and aim smoother. She sighted him easily; Tirek was a large target. Now he only had to turn around. An arrow to the spine would kill him simply and instantly, no matter how much magic he had absorbed.

Once he was dead, the hard part would come: explaining herself to Celestia.

Comments contain spoilers.

Sam and Dean Winchester, along with Bobby Singer and the angel, Castiel escape into a tunnel that transfers them to the world of Equestria. Things are odd at first. Everyone is so different from what they're used to.
Once they start to fit in, even Derpy Hooves would be able to see that something sinister was happening. The four newcomers to Equestria and the mane six are summoned by Celestia and Luna. They hire all 10 of them to hunt down whatever is raising hell in the world of ponies.
The mane 6 soon find out, the 4 ponies who just came into their lives are not what they seem. And the world of Equestria has many dark entities that are now rearing their heads more often.

Supernatural Ponies will be a trilogy.

Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.

But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.

Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?

The foggy feeling like you're wandering through a dream, disconnected from the world around you. Sunset Shimmer experiences that every day. Ponies struggle to remember her, she suffers from random bouts of exhaustion, and at eighteen, she still has no cutie mark.

Despite the claims her mother makes, Sunset knows she is broken in some way. It isn't until her nineteenth birthday that she discovers why.

When her perception of herself and the world around her shatters, Equestria will face the consequences of the villain... or the hero, it was never supposed to have.

An event 22 years ago, took the life of their father. Now two brothers must follow the job that their mother started and hunt the undead, monsters, and spirits that haunt Equestria. The mane six will deal with the monsters and the dragons, but they do not know of the darker side of their world or of the creatures that lie in the shadows.

Hunt monsters, protect ponies, thats the family business.

Anon-a-Miss.

Just thinking about it made Morning Star and Shadow Wings' stomachs turn. In four days, a single account had turned Canterlot High on its head once again. Students were fighting in the hallways and cafeteria, breaking off friendships and mocking one another. No one knows who started it, but all fingers are pointing at the most likely suspect: Sunset Shimmer.

The problem is, those fingers are all wrong. Sunset Shimmer is not the culprit behind Anon-a-Miss and it's up to Shadow and Star to find out who is before Winter Break arrives. Working against the clock, the duo have to investigate the goings-on leading up to Anon-a-Miss as well as interrogate the first targets of the cursed account.

"I've said it once, and I'll say it again. High school is literal torture..."
